People who want to believe Anthropics AI is powerful.

lemmy.ml and dbzer0 are silenced on piefed.social, which makes their communities hard to find.

But if you go to their url directly you can join them like normal:

There is no hardcoded instance block list. There are some instances that are defederated from initially when an instance is first created but the instance admin is told about this when it happens and they can change it by clicking around in the admin area.

Very interesting and lots of detail on the 5 year plans. Thanks!

This must have been going on for decades. Ridiculous, humans.

War is not rational. Do not expect it to make sense.

warning: PieFed does not set the language on RSS-generated posts, they all default to English. Looks like you’ve got many feeds in there that will have content written in other languages.

efficient!

Definitely not.

It varies depending on the instance but generally bots get banned.

PieFed includes RSS posting functionality out of the box, btw.

I did not, it seemed complicated and rabbit-hole-y.

In the end I just added an Anubis-like feature into PieFed. It works great.

I used fail2ban as an anti-scraper strategy for a few months. It helped with the really basic scrapers that only use one or a few IP addresses.

But then they adapted and started using hundreds or thousands of different IP addresses, each one only making a couple of requests. fail2ban became counter-productive as it slowed my server down - the log files it was monitoring became massive under high load and it needs to scan the log files often to check if an IP has been seen before.

I’m not saying don’t try it, I’m saying it’s only effective in some situations.

It’s always dns at least half the time

haha looks like you’re aaalmost at the point where water cooling is compulsory.

Is it a Threadripper? I built a couple of those for architectural rendering, such absolute beasts.

Nice chonky heatsink, goddam

Just in time for the fertilizer shortage.

Whatever man, they’re all examples of successful nonviolent revolutions. Successful in the sense that they overthrew the previous regimes and what came after was probably better than what would have come after if they achieved the same thing violently.

I’m just a guy trying to make sense of the world and share the fragments of what I’ve managed to piece together and you come in here throwing around insults and making aspersions. Not cool.

Is the CIA in the room with us right now?

On August 23, 1989, a momentous event unfolded that would forever leave its mark on history. Two million people joined hands, creating an unbroken human chain that spanned over 600 kilometres, linking the capital cities of Vilnius in Lithuania, Tallinn in Estonia, and Riga in Latvia. This awe-inspiring display of unity and determination became famously known as “The Baltic Way.” It was a peaceful protest against the illegal Soviet occupation and also one of the earliest and longest unbroken human chains in history.

The Baltic Way was more than just a physical connection; it was a profound political demonstration for freedom.

Remarkably, within just six months of this transformative protest, on March 11, 1990, Lithuania declared its independence, becoming the first of the Soviet Republics to do so.
