Foundation season 2. It's been so good this season that I'm actually rewatching season 1 to pick up the details I missed. It really is cinematic, beautiful, and well acted. Very well acted.

And I'm rewatching BSG.

This absolutely made my day. I love stuff like this, and I had never even heard of a crash blossom.

Exactly. These things seem common because we see examples of them amplified on social media. Most of them are vanishingly rare.

On the other hand, fixing all those problems makes you a really effective problem solver. You learn which technologies are good and which are bad; you learn where to find reliable solutions to problems; and you begin to see where tutorial writers have a lack of knowledge (or were really lazy) and how to fix their problems. It forces you to create good habits and to follow best practices. And years down the line, you'll have some great, stable software that is the envy of your techie friends.

Those safetensors files are all that I have ever used.

For reference, I'm using a 2080 ti. That's got about 11 GB of RAM, I think. I'm not having any freezes whatsoever. I've also tried it on my wife's shiny new 4080. Definitely a speed difference, but again, no freezes or instability. Generating the 1024x1024 images does take forever. I actually went back to 512x512 and stayed there. I can always upscale something that I like.

I had to get all the way in here to realize that this woman's remains weren't buried in an Amazon package. I really need my morning coffee.

Maybe it’s just that I’m not as familiar with history as I need to be, but Reich’s points seemed to be a pretty good subset of Ecos. Where is he deviating?

I’m not an expert, but what I read said that you use SDXL by first using txt2img to generate an image using the base checkpoint, and then you send that image to img2img and use exactly the same prompt there with the refiner checkpoint.

That makes for a longer workflow than I’m used to, so sometimes I just use one or the other in txt2img and see what I get. Sometimes I forget to change the model when I switch between img2img and txt2img, too. I always seem to get results of similar quality when I use just one of the checkpoints.

It should be interesting to see what people come up with training their own checkpoints off of SDXL, though.

I had issues before I updated A1111. Do a git pull in the A111 directory and try again.

I prefer porkbun for my domain provider. They’re kind of the darling of the self-hosting community, it seems. But I picked them because they were pretty inexpensive.

Community Spotlight: ntfy (discuss.ntfy.sh)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.ninja to c/communitysearchtips@lemmy.ninja
 

Those of you who are sysadmins or who run your own homelabs may be interested in this new community: !ntfy@discuss.ntfy.sh. It's the new home of Reddit's r/ntfy. It's a community that supports the ntfy tool.

From ntfy.sh's site:

ntfy (pronounced notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, and/or using a REST API. It's infinitely flexible, and 100% free software.

 

Misinformation in the 2024 election will be rampant due to accessible AI tools, says Eric Schmidt. Social media's failure to protect against false AI-generated content and the reduction of trust and safety groups are concerns. Schmidt suggests marking content and holding users accountable for law violations.

 

The release of Lemmy 0.18.0 has brought many welcome improvements and bug-fixes. Searching for communities through the software has been improved, but it is still a bit tricky. This article will help you understand what you're seeing when you try to find a community using Lemmy 0.18.0.

By now you have probably created an account on a Lemmy instance somewhere (like lemmy.ninja, for instance!) and you're now ready to start subscribing to communities that interest you. So you head off to the Communities page and decide to search for a science fiction community.

New in 0.18.0, when you search from the search box in the Communities page, you will get search results that include comments, posts, communities, users, and URLs. You now need to filter your search results to communities.

When you do that, you may see something similar to the search results below. Only one result, with only two subscribers? What's going on?

Searching for "sci" at Lemmy.ninja

First, you're only seeing the communities that have been previously searched for by other users of your Lemmy instance. There may be more science fiction communities out there, but if nobody has searched for the specific instance URL from your instance, you won't see them in these search results.

Additionally, you're seeing 2 subscribers in the image above because only two users from this instance are subscribed to that community. At the time of writing, Science Fiction@lemmy.world is estimated to have 2,000 subscribers from all Lemmy instances, but only 2 of those are from Lemmy.ninja, where that screenshot was taken.

If you don't see the community you're interested in, you will need to get its URL from another source, like lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de. You can use either the direct URL or a shorthand URL. (There is a third method which involves constructing a long-form URL, but I will skip that because it's the most complex method and doesn't seem to give any advantage over the others.)

For this example, we will add a new science fiction communiy. According to lemmyverse.net, there is a good candidate, also called Science Fiction, hosted over at Lemmy.ml.

A search result from Lemmyverse.net

If we visit that community, we will see that the direct URL (copied out of the URL bar of the browser after visiting the site) is https://lemmy.ml/c/sciencefiction. We can also see from the output from lemmyverse.net that the shorthand URL for this community is !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml. I will use the shorthand URL when searching for the community at lemmy.ninja's communities page.

Search results after using the shorthand URL

When I do this, I will momentarily see "No results," because !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml hasn't been added to Lemmy.ninja before. But now we see one of the important bug-fixes of Lemmy version 0.18.0 at work: a few seconds later, Science Fiction@lemmy.ml appears in the search results! Now you can click on the link and subscribe to it from your instance, and all posts from that community will arrive in your subscribed feed.

There's one last thing I want to point out about searching for communities. If you look carefully at the images above, you will see that the name of the community is Science Fiction, but that the direct URL and the shorthand URL use sciencefiction (without a space). Once a community has been added to an instance, you could use either Science Fiction or the direct or shorthand URLs to find it. But if it hasn't been added to your instance before, you must use either the direct URL or the shorthand URL to find it.

 

Four gamers, one idea, and a billion-dollar bet. Xbox almost didn't happen. Find out why in this behind-the-scenes, six-part series that takes you back to the scrappy beginnings of Microsoft's video game console. It's the untold story of the people behind the box, glitches and all.

 

Released in 1986, TradeWars was among the earliest multiplayer online games. As of 2013, TradeWars has been hosted on over 21,000 different sites in 59 different countries, with some sites hosting the game continuously for over 25 years.

 

Lemmy.ml has performed a server update that appears to have fixed the issue where subscriptions to communities on Lemmy.ml showed "subscribe pending" instead of "subscribed."

To fix your subscription, just unsubscribe from the community and subscribe again.

edit: As of 2023-06-23, the problem is back again. If you see "Subscribe Pending," just know that you can still participate in the community. It's just a display bug.

 

Last week, Beehaw.org announced that they are de-federating themselves from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. All three of those Lemmy instances are big, with dozens of very active, popular communities. So how does that impact you as a Lemmy user?

When Beehaw.org says they are "de-federating" with Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, what they mean is that they've blocked Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works from participating in communities on beehaw.org. That means that users who registered accounts at lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works won't be able to participate on any communities at beehaw.

If you're a user who registered at a different Lemmy instance, such as our own Lemmy.ninja, you won't be affected. You will still be able to participate in communities from all three of those instances.

There's another impact, however. Sh.itjust.works and (especially) Lemmy.world are sites with a large number of users. By defederating, Beehaw has eliminated a large number of users from participating in their communities. That means that the communities at Beehaw will become less active, and competing communities on other instances may start to grow.

Okay, I'll start! I'm RotaryKeyboard. I'm jacking in from Utah, behind the Zion Curtain. I got into Lemmy because it reminds me so much of the old BBS model of internet access that I grew up with.

Based on my experiences trying to learn Lemmy and find content, I started a Community Search Tips community where I could share different ways to find Lemmy communities and talk about the good ones. There's lots of duplicate communities out there, so I'm hoping that Community Search Tips will help us sort the wheat from the chaff. Feel free to subscribe and drop by with your suggestions or discussion about Fediverse content!
