You sure it's a linear corelation? Maybe it's double the trauma four times the fun!

Doesn't change the fact that historically balancing the wires on the connector was the job of the GPU. Arguably the connector spec should include who should load balance the wires, it didn't and afaik it doesn't, but the established practice was that the GPU takes care of it.

Significant part: there were fewer customers in the entire market back then

If the timezones work I'd be down

Of course they have a couple name. Also: further proof that Urumin only has one fan because the OG shippers steer everyone away from becoming Urumin's fans just so they can avoid the usual "idols can't date" drama.

The concept is used by pretty much all games now. It's just that during the gilded days of Intel everbody and their mother hardcoded around a max of 8 threads. Now that core counts are significantly higher game devs opt for dynamic threading instead of fixed threading, which results in Intels imbalanced Core performance turning into more and more of a detriment. Doom Eternal for example uses up as many threads as you have available and uses them pretty evenly

Let's be honest here it was never more than a band aid thrown together in an attempt to keep up with chiplets. Intel is in serious trouble because they still cannot compete with AMD in that regard, it affords them a level of production scalability Intel can currently only dream of.

Same, the only thing talkings to the internet are my reverse proxy and the security cameras (only when viewing them from outside the local network, quite like what reolink does there)

Imo if you're going to be the only one who would use the instance it is not worth it. Instead look for an instance that lines up with your personal interests (maybe check out the db0 instance).

Content federation basically works on a subscription model so you will only see content from other instances if someonen your instance went out of their way to subscribe to it. Smaller instances suffer under this as they might not even see popular communities from other instances.

Note: Moldova also has a bit of a infestation going on, might be interesting to see the Moldovan data split by region. I have a sneaking suspicion that the parts "influenced" by a certain Eurasian autocracy are mostly to blame for the increase

I go out of my way to exclusively spend money with the one publisher I've found who does not put DRM in their ebooks. I spend lavishly with them because good practices need to be rewarded monetarily in capitalism or they die out.

The rest I pirate.

 

Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan't be named now got removed for "linking to instance featuring pedo content".

Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM's would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

Last night the instance lemmy.world suffered a JavaScript injection attack. The attack set out to steal login cookies of users upon visiting infected threads, primarily targeting admins.

Potentially Affected Data

  • E-Mail address stolen and/or changed (if provided in user settings)
  • Password changed

Mitigations

Malicious comments have been replaced by a removal message. I have deployed the UI hotfix and @ludrol@bookwormstory.social has deleted all Custom Emoji until it is clear whether those are safe to use. Additionally all login sessions have been invalidated as a safety precaution as well, any cookies that were stolen are now rendered useless.

Conclusion

So far it does not seem like this instance was affected.

If you are not using bookwormstory.social and your instance is not on UI Version 0.18.2-rc.1 please be aware that you are likely still at risk of the attack, please check for any announcements of your instance administrators.

Details of the vulnerability are here

 

I have decided to block Meta's Fediverse platform threads.net. The three reasons pushing me to do so are:

  • Meta's known history of the Embrace-Extend-Extinguush playbook (XMPP)
  • Meta's disturbing data collection practices when it comes to threads.
  • I don't trust Meta to keep their platform properly moderated. Especially since large parts of the fediverse already defederated, reducing the number of independent moderators checking over their content.

Edit: This is preventitive, threads.net does not offer ActivityPub support currently but has announced plans to do so in the future.
