Since I'm dabbling in AI at the moment: What about llama.cpp? Dude handles like 50 pull requests a week, coordinates everything and codes himself. And it's really complicated stuff and not the only project. And I mean there is lots of Linux software I use, (web-development) frameworks, smarthome stuff and electronics projects that I participate in and I'm always fascinated by their pace and how they manage to do that in addition to a day-job?! And they regularly push new features... I've had contact with some, filed bugreports and sometimes the next day they solved my issues and pushed a new version.

With Lemmy, my UI bugreports from a year ago are still open and not fixed. And it feels like contributions and bugreports are more a burden to the devs here and not that welcome like I'm used to from other projects. And yeah, I'm glad the last release was a bit bigger. But I mean it took 5 months... And moderation tools are traditionally an issue here. I'm glad something gets implemented. But we're still far from where we need to be. Same with the image handling and proxying.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Sure, software development ain't easy. But every new release I check the changelog and usually it's just some minor bugfixes. And twice a year a bigger release like this month with new features, yet the last bigger user-facing feature I can remember was instance blocking in december. And this is more or less adding the ability to hide posts and change how voting is displayed, if you're just a user.

Edit: I appreciate the work, though. And I like the idea of the platform. It's just that I'd like it to grow and flourish. But to me it seems we're often taking baby steps. And in the meantime stuff breaks and admins complain they barely cope with everything with the tools they have.

I'm not sure about the numbers but it should be like 6,600€ a month?! join-lemmy.org shows 3,656€ per month from donations, plus ~750€ a week they said in their last AMA from the NLnet fund.

I'm not sure if I'd consider that low... Sure it's not much compared to the revenue of a commercial platform. But still, you can build something with like 2x40h weeks. (plus a community)

Maybe they already factored in the 3k from NLnet and it's just 3.6k in total, I don't really know. But they're always talking about two full-time developers plus one more they'd like to pay... So that makes me think it's probably 6.5k€. Maybe someone can fact-check it.

AFAIK the NLnet funding is still running and there were still some milestones to claim as I last asked them in some AMA. Should be paying them an additional 3.000€ a month?!

They really should be more transparent an link that stuff and their progress.

I suppose stack overflow is a really good use case for AI. Just make it stick to what it knows once you start implementing AI answers and not just funnelling user data the other direction.

Hope that gets open-sourced and made in to an complete out-of-the-box advertising platform. I've tried selfhosting ads and as of now there isn't much except for revive-adserver. Sure, and the big (closed) surveillance tech platforms everyone uses.

Though Lemmy has funding for full-time developers.

And it's not like other features get implemented in the meantime. Progress is really slow here, even compared to hobby projects.

Edit: Lol, thanks for downvoting.

Yes, you'd damage the car's electrical system. First of all it's not designed to feed in energy through that outlet. It's made to output energy.

And most importantly: 24V is way too much. 2 times the intended voltage would fry most electronics. Your stereo, the power steering, airbags, ... There is a good margin and car electronics are designed to be pretty robust, but you're pushing it.

I think they're still fine because what happens is your car battery absorbs that extra voltage. But it's really dangerous. On a sunny day you'll charge your car battery beyond the 14V or so the chemistry can handle. And at that point it'll degrade fast. The acid in there is going to start to boil, producing hydrogen, so in addition to a destroyed battery, you're in for a small explosion if you're very unlucky. And once the battery is gone it'll start frying the cars electronics because now there isn't anything keeping the voltage down.

Get a switch that exclusively connects either the car or the solar panel to the bluetti. One switch that switches between two things, not an On/Off switch. And make sure it's rated for the current.

Edit: Or a relais that toggles between both. It can switch if there's power on the 12V rail, and connect the bluetti to either or.

Hmmh. Why ActivityPub? I mean I suppose it's alright as a standard for some turn based or slow trading game. But it's neither very efficient nor suited for realtime. And having long (and descriptive) JSON messages, queues, ... is baked in per design.

And it's not even interesting to a Mastodon user if player x sold y latinum to player z. So for lots of game logic we don't need messages in a common format that's federated to Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube etc.

I think a nice and not too complicated coding challenge would be to design a world that spans multiple servers. Players could roam a world, go through some door or portal and the client seamlessly connects to the next server. So that part of the world (the other server instance) is behind that portal. That'd make sense from an in-game perspective and won't be that hard to implement. Basically it's just like any other game, just that the client auto-connects to servers with some internal logic and not just in the start menu. And ideally authentication would be federated. The new server could ask the player's home instance to authenticate them on entering the new instance.

~~The chips after the esp8266 are also very nice 😊~~

Edit: Don't mind. I was on mobile and only saw the first column.

The ESPs are really nice. Affordable, nice peripherals and plenty of them. Wifi and Bluetooth are a dream come true for IoT stuff. And they come with crazy amounts of RAM. Like 520kB is plenty. And with the PSRAM we can also fit in seconds of webradio buffer, images and whatever. Also the newer ones also have USB so you can just mount them on the PC and drag and drop Python programs.

I have at least a dozen of them.

Na ich glaube schon, dass es damals etwas übersichtlicher war als man noch seine Überweisungen bei der Sparkasse eingeworfen hat. Aber ja, Abzocke ist kein Phänomen der Digitalisierung. Sie findet in beiden Welten statt. Ich denke nur dank Technik sind da noch ein paar weitere Geschäftsmodelle dazugekommen. Aber das Rentner früher an der Haustür oder am Telefon abgezockt wurden, habe ich ja auch gesagt.

Das ist wirklich mies. Und gibt es leider viel zu oft. Hausierer und Drückerkolonnen die den Omis/Opis Verträge andrehen, Firmen die alle Festnetztelefone anrufen und die Leute abzocken, Fake Microsoft Anrufe, AstroTV, und da heutzutage alles eine App und Internet braucht kann man überhaupt nichts mehr ohne das Risiko einzugehen irgendwo abgezockt zu werden wenn man ein bisschen tüddelig ist aber irgendwie noch selbstständig sein Leben bestreiten möchte. Ich meine man kann ja eigentlich gar keinen Fernsehen mehr gucken. Heutzutage funktioniert der schicke Samsung Fernseher ja kaum noch ohne sich dort ein Konto anzulegen. Und dann sind direkt überall alle Kacheln gemischt und wenn man nicht super fit ist ist es recht unmöglich festzustellen ob man grad fern sieht oder sich bei SamsungTV+ oder sonstwo einen Film kauft/ausleiht/ein Streaming-Abo abschließt. Ich find das alles ziemlich doof. AstroTV und Co natürlich ganz vorne dabei weil sie ja nicht mal einen sinnvollen Dienst anbieten für den sie das Geld abkassieren, außer 2min mit jemandem quatschen.
