Was literally thinking about setting this up this weekend. If I can get renovate working to auto update dependencies, I can move off of github. To me, dependabot is github's killer feature
Haha, funny to see this pop up on my ttrss instance on a vps that has been up for 2624 days straight (I haven't upgraded it ever, Debian 7.8). I can tell you that it works well, but I've been meaning to write my own for awhile.
mine is a slackware 14.2 with 1061 days. I turned off the auto-updating of the ttrss instance a few years ago as I intend to reinstall it somewhere else so this news is very disappointing.
I'm still running my 2006-era fork of ttrss on a VM that's so old I'm ashamed to say what it is. I had to stick a proxy in front of it 10+ years ago so it could handle modern SSL. I can't imagine using the web without it.
I find typing the comment out, then deleting it and not submitting kinda gives my brain the 90% feeling of needing to say something. Only place I don't have to do this is 4chan, where the worst thing to happen is that your comment gets ignored or something mean is said to me (oh dear!)
I unironically just closed this tab before submitting out of habit and reopened it to submit this
Speaking of 4chan, I actually found an IRL friend there through commenting on /g/. We both wanted to try the TOX messenger and its various spin-offs. Then we took it to Steam and now years later we know each other by face and name. We even have various different political views but never argued.
It may be a super low sample size but it's far from impossible. Especially Reddit has DMs/chat and it's way easier since you can contact someone without someone else impersonating the other party. Sometimes you gotta believe you are talking to just another human being. Love that the article in the OP mentions trolling. We all probably had moments where we did not act in the best way we could have.
To all those that act noble in the shroud of anonymity!
Update:
The article also says it takes several hundreds of hours. That may be so, but I find the same time needs to be spent IRL to get to know someone. Usually a continuous effort can be just as much as linking a friend a good story and saying hi. People will engage conversation spontaneously when both parties want.
I participate in a number of 'old school' forums, never anything like reddit or discord. On those forums, while I have posted on some a fair amount, I actually find that most of the time I spend 15 minutes writing up a post, then delete it. There are a number of reasons I don't hit the submit button. Sometimes its because I see that a lot of other posters will disagree with it, and I don't think they will argue rationally and in good faith; but the most valuable posts I don't submit are when I get to a point in my argument when I realize that I'm wrong or that my opinion or point of view is badly supported or any numer of other things that force me to re-evaluate position. I've probably held that position for a while thinking I'm right, but actually formulating the argument forces me to confront my biases or mistakes.
I mostly do that when I go "that was a little bit mean of me... do I really need to be mean, what's the point?"
Fortunately, that seems to also have trained me to not write those comments in the first place. I also think much more about what I am trying to actually effect with a comment, not just about what feels good in the particular moment.
One thing that didn't change though is that probably most of my comments are edited at least once, often a few times, right after sending them. And even if it's just swapping out a word, or adding a missing comma. This one here is no exception at all, I just added this paragraph after doing some minor edits.
I stumbled across the same pattern by accident after too many years of arguing with others online. These days my commentary is limited to here, and a handful of specialized hobbyist forums where there is still pleasant and informative discussions to be had. The "cozy web". (At least until the LLM spam takes it over, too.)
I probably do that 2-3 times a day. Usually after writing the comment and proofreading it, I'll think about whether it's something I really want to put out there, and sometimes I'll pass.
I’m more in the lurker camp. But sometimes I write a comment or want to reply to something. Every now and then I type a super long comment to simply leave the page before posting. Sometimes it’s the fear of not being clear enough and dreading the reply’s and or downvotes. Or the reason that I don’t want to steer things up with my believes. Don’t know. I have this problem that I generally find social interactions tiresome. Some topics are easy. But I don’t have the energy to start a debate over the internet about some random topic. So I refrain from posting with the feeling that inside I said my piece and move on.
Why stop at 80 H100s for a mere 6.4 terabytes of GPU memory?
Supermicro will sell you a full rack loaded with servers [1] providing 13.4 TB of GPU memory.
And with 132kW of power output, you can heat an olympic-sized swimming pool by 1°C every day with that rack alone. That's almost as much power consumption as 10 mid-sized cars cruising at 50 mph.
Lots of discussion on this and not much comparison to another democratic country (South Korea) that already implement this type of control. Account creation for non-critical services (games, etc) requires a SSN type equivalent during signup, so they very clearly know who is associated with the account.
They also implement child specific locks, such as limiting the duration kids can play a game, and for only specific hours (not during night time).
