Thanks that is what I was curious about. So good news!

Do LLM or that AI image stuff run on CUDA?

Maybe with an advanced lemmy app, but from the website it doesn’t work from my experience. Or is incredibly clumsy.

Or a better “landing page” like an app that can manage multiple instances easily. Or merge multiple communities from different instances. But running in my browser. I’m sure this is in the works with the other lemmy clients or self hosting.

I always used websites to search for ed2k content much like with torrent. The internal search was more like a last resort. It would have been nice to have p2p shared indexes that just use public keys for authentication and you have to choose to trust them. Or something like a trust chain. And you can still fork them. Something I still miss for torrent.

But anyway, I still believe getting more websites “invested” into torrent or tracker hosting ultimately boosted torrents over ed2k. A bit of a paradox. Of course this is just speculation.

When I first tried to check out the exodus this idea totally confused me and nearly made me drop the whole fediverse idea.

All this talk about using mastadon account on lemmy IS BULLremoved**. Sorry but - reading about mastadon account etc made it sound like lemmy is just another mastadon instance. Or another “perspective” on the same underlying data. It kind of works but it’s absolutely confusing and frustrating to try to do this. Just make a new lemmy account - which I was trying to avoid because I thought with federation I should be able to move freely between instances.

It would be nice to merge these kinds of “social media modes”. I believe reddit tried to do something similar with following users etc. But it’s not there yet and only hampers adoption to advertise this.

Interesting points, just one thing I recently thought about: eMule vs Torrents. Torrents requires trackers and websites to host torrent files. eMule was rather fully decentralized from the start and you only needed the hash key. In actual performance there wasn’t a fundamental reason why one or the other would be better. But Torrents won by a large margin, and I believe it’s because it needed websites and trackers and created “hubs” that could fund themselves from ads.

This could similarly apply to the fediverse.

You might also underestimate how much moderation and how many malicious or fascists actors are under way. It could easily become a cesspool.

Encrypted DMs could be added later.

But I definitely think there need to be better tools for migrating your content. Or migrating a complete community including all posts from one instance to another (like a rolling journaling backup that you can do daily, and if your instance just disappears you can just copy it)

Wow that is amazing. Even just a simple microcontroller chip that can be homebrewed would be amazing. Without being dependent on a global and somewhat fragile industrial economy. Something that allows you to program a 3D printer or CNC mill or use kites to generate electricity.

Interesting. At first I missed the video. They “inject” the alumninium into the sand by pushing the nozzle in. A pretty neat idea really.

Presumably it’s going to be patented though, so it won’t benefit many people for the next 20 years.

Looks like the constant insidious propaganda is working as expected.
