I will add, for anyone who has not played with it, that I am pretty impressed with what little I’ve seen of FLUX.2. If you can run it, it’s got some pretty impressive output.

The downside is that it’s memory-hungry and compute-hungry. On a Framework Desktop, I can run the FP8 release with about 54 GB of VRAM. It takes about 290 seconds — a bit under 5 minutes — to generate a 20 iteration, 1280x720 image, which is much more compute-heavy than any other image generation model that I’ve run locally.

How could Lemmy implement an age verification system?

I don’t think that it would matter much. Assuming that the legislation applies to the Threadiverse and doesn’t have some sort of exception, it’d still be effectively unenforceable, because most instances don’t operate in France’s legal jurisdiction, and I imagine that most users, even in France, don’t really care whether their instance is in France or not.

If it’s new, it looks like 128GB ECC DDR4 is maybe $1k, going by this listing:

Dunno what the used-new difference is currently.

In general, a lot of services have absurdly tight time requirements on email validation. A lot of users have graymail setups or other things that will delay email, not to mention polling intervals.

I get expiring temporary credentials in email on the general principle of not leaving credentials lying around, but use 24 hours or something, not minutes. There’s minimal added risk, and it avoids a ton of problems.

Great minds think alike. Yeah, just followed up with a similar comment. So probably a bug, but not sure whether it’s an mbin or Lemmy bug. Like you, I can also see the intended URL on PieFed (olio.cafe).

EDIT: Same problem on lemmy.ml, and they’re the dev instance, run the latest version of Lemmy:

EDIT2: I submitted a post to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml at https://lemmy.ml/post/41019532 to make the devs aware of the interaction, if they weren’t already.

It’s not visible via lemmy.today’s Web UI:

Checking whether it’s just lemmy.today somehow mangling things, it doesn’t look like it. Here’s beehaw.org’s Web UI directly:

As of the moment, both are a link to an image (though lemmy.today is proxying the link to that image):

Same behavior seen when browsing lemmy.today in Eternity.

EDIT: Fedia.io is running mbin. You submitted it via fedia.io. This community is on beehaw.org. I wonder if there was some kind of recent mbin/lemmy compatibility bug? I’d check fedia.io’s Web UI, but it currently disallows anonymous browsing (probably because of all the AI web scrapers hammering Threadiverse instances that allow anonymous access).

Virtual keyboards have never been great

I’m actually surprised that nobody ever fundamentally reinvented text input for touchscreens in a way that caught on.

I’d like to be able to get touchpads with physical buttons on laptops. Very few manufacturers do them, especially if you want three.

I once had dinner with a Stanford professor, years back, who was talking about the fact that he liked teaching in Python because he spent way less time teaching the language and more the higher level stuff that he was actually trying to get across than when he was using C++. Lower barrier to entry for new users. I’d guess that probably in the intervening years, a lot of classes have decided to use it for similar reasons. If you want to teach, I dunno, signal processing and your students maybe don’t have a great handle on the language yet, you want to be spending time on the signal processing stuff, not on language concepts.

My impression from what code I’ve looked at is that little computation is done by the Python code itself, so there’s little by way of gains to be had by trying to use something higher-performance, which eliminates a lot of the reason one would use some other languages.

Python’s cross-platform, albeit with a Unix heritage, so it doesn’t create barriers there. It’s already widely-used, a mature language that isn’t going anywhere and with a lot of people who know it.

It’s got an ecosystem for distributing libraries over the network, and there’s a lot of new code going out and being distributed rapidly.

Python isn’t statically-typed. Static typing can help write more-robust code. If you’re writing, say, the next big webserver, I’d want to have that checking. But for code that may often be running internally in a research project — and this is an area with a lot of people doing research — a failure just isn’t that big a deal. So, again, some of the reasons that one might use another language aren’t there.

And I imagine that there’s also inertia. Easier to default to use what others would use.

If you have another language in mind, you might mention that, see if there might be more-specific things. I could come up with more meaty plausible guesses if what you were wondering is something like “why isn’t everyone using SmallTalk?” or something.

Based on the screenshot in the article, the OLED model has longer playtime; Valve says that the LCD model has “2-8 hours of gameplay” and the OLED “3-13 hours of gameplay”.

Though they do also say that this is “context-dependent”, and I’m sure that you can come up with pathological cases for each. Like, a game that has a nearly all-white screen and runs at 90 Hz is probably relative worst-case for the OLED in terms of battery life, and a game that has a dark screen and runs at a locked framerate of 60 Hz is probably relative worst-case for the LCD.

If they’ve got their heart set on an LCD model, it looks like eBay has a number of secondhand ones.

I don’t own a Steam Deck or intend to — I have more than enough portable electric devices capable of running games that I lug around already — but if I were going to get one, it looks like the OLED model has a 25% larger battery, which would be interesting to me.

Bind mounts aren’t specific to Docker. You’re asking specifically about bind mounts as used by Docker?

I don’t know what YouTube Rewinds are, but are these them? I seem to be able to view them.

There were still many flat surfaces in the world that did not yet have advertisements displayed on them.

From my /etc/resolv.conf on Debian trixie, which isn’t using openresolv:

# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.

I mean, if you want to just write a static resolv.conf, I don’t think that you normally need to have it flagged immutable. You just put the text file you want in place of the symlink.

Also, when you talk about fsck, what could be good options for this to check the drive?

I’ve never used proxmox, so I can’t advise how to do so via the UI it provides. As a general Linux approach, though, if you’re copying from a source Linux filesystem, it should be possible to unmount it — or boot from a live boot Linux CD, if that filesystem is required to run the system — and then just run fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever the filesystem device is.

I’d suspect that too. Try just reading from the source drive or just writing to the destination drive and see which causes the problems. Could also be a corrupt filesystem; probably not a bad idea to try to fsck it.

IME, on a failing disk, you can get I/O blocking as the system retries, but it usually won’t freeze the system unless your swap partition/file is on that drive. Then, as soon as the kernel goes to pull something from swap on the failing drive, everything blocks. If you have a way to view the kernel log (e.g. you’re looking at a Linux console or have serial access or something else that keeps working), you’ll probably see kernel log messages. Might try swapoff -a before doing the rsync to disable swap.

At first I was under suspicion was temperature.

I’ve never had it happen, but it is possible for heat to cause issues for hard drives; I’m assuming that OP is checking CPU temperature. If you’ve ever copied the contents of a full disk, the case will tend to get pretty toasty. I don’t know if the firmware will slow down operation to keep temperature sane — rotational drives do normally have temperature sensors, so I’d think that it would. Could try aiming a fan at the things. I doubt that that’s it, though.
