Ok, so Lemmy doesn’t cause the same amount of duplication, but I’d still argue that dedupe is valuable: it saves on hosting costs (your costs, in this case) and users will get a small advantage in having slightly higher cache hits.

Yes, for example go to https://infosec.exchange/explore

I see the top post as https://infosec.exchange/@nocontexttrek@mastodon.social/113433063621462027 and the image is https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/cache/media_attachments/files/113/433/063/582/671/258/original/71da3801e4e4f08c.png

The link is to the original on https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/433/062/676/773/993/original/f828afef5cc7ed1c.png but when you click image the javascript loads a modal with the local cached version (same image as the thumbnail that infosec.exchange loads.

There’s lots of different codebases across the fediverse so perhaps some hotlink, but local copies is the default.

I think the major advantage is the deduplication - when an image goes viral across Mastodon (or Lemmy) it’s currently stored hundreds or thousands of times, each with its own cost. Do you dedupe (for either your customers’ benefit or your own)?

The botsin.space Mastodon server shutting down is sad news, it’s a pretty important server and if you didn’t like bots it was handy that you could just block one server and block loads of them at once.

leaving Mastodon out to try

While it’s clear what’s meant from the context, I’ve never heard this idiom. Do you mean “hanging Mastodon out to dry”?

Drop in the bucket sounds weird to me too, but a quick check shows that it’s the US version of drop in the ocean.

I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?

Hang on, if you’re using CrowdStrike but not getting the updates, then why are you using it at all?

It only looked ok in the textarea you wrote it in, but the format was wrong.

You have a few options:

* with a * or -

It looked like you were trying to use code formatting which is three backticks, but you used single quotes. This is a backtick: `

I’m not a regular there any more, but I feel like there’s more “natural” spam posts nowadays. They’re not natural enough that they haven’t prompted me to check the account’s post history (all mention product x, of course).

Edit: e.g. this one

If this is an example of the AI, it’s not very good.

In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.

This doesn’t affect me, but I’m sure there’s going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.

I thought you were talking about the volume boost thing at first and was really surprised.

I hope @MaximeRF find the time/motivation to fix it. I just was reminded it’d gone when I went to use the boost volume feature.

I hope ad-blocking isn’t the blocker, because uBlock Origin handles that (although I suppose uBO doesn’t cover things like channel whitelisting).

I hadn’t noticed. Why has it gone, do you know?

Your comment confused me since I thought you were saying the EFF was cancer at first.

Oh, so css is in there - I’d assumed it would be a false positive.

They misspoke: Hurd will be usable in year 1970!

As a student I wasted so much time mucking around with flags and settings in Gentoo. It definitely wasn’t pointless since I learned so much, but I didn’t need to sit there and watch it compile as much as I did.

It was pleasing to watch though, just like defrag in Windows.

I use screen still too, partly because it’s generally installed on everything already, like vim. I hardly ever use anything but a maximised (i.e. full-terminal) screen at once, so it doesn’t sound like I’m missing much from tmux.

De/reattaching’s extremely useful and another thing I really like in screen is being able to scroll and search the scrollbuffer.

If I was ready for an upgrade, I’d probably go for zellij.

I got my export a few days ago (hadn’t been on reddit to notice the notification) so it took just under 15 days to arrive.
