GitHub - Asudox/LemmyCTTS: A program to convert Lemmy comments to a video (github.com)

I basically made this program to convert Lemmy comments to videos just like those Reddit videos on YouTube. I know that there are a few bugs here and there, I will fix them later. For now, the most obvious one is the transition effect video not showing up during transitions, only the audio does. There also might be issues when...

Can you link to one of these videos? Would be good to have an example in the github readme somewhere. I have no idea what this is about. What reddit videos?

Pretty much every car is running Linux at this point.

That doesn’t mean it’s open and non shitty.

Hey now, we’ve also got anime, flurries, soil scientists and mechanical keyboards.

Was actually a whole kernel panic, it looks like all IO on the box completely hung when the nginx docker container was stopped. Kinda a mystery, wondering if it’s a kernel bug.

Our usage is really low across the board. I’ve thrown as much ram at postgres as its willing to use, and right now after a clean boot we’re only using 4gb of ram.

Other than some poor sql, lemmy is actually really performant. There’s a lot more attention on the db now though which has helped a lot.

I’ll try to do a post this weekend with some data graphs.

Glad I googled that, I was about to go outside with a black light.

Cat Lovers Rejoice As New Medicine Will Extend Cat Lifespan To 30 Years (www.boredpanda.com)

there is a silent threat that affects kitties – chronic kidney disease. It is a complex and irreversible ailment that typically manifests at around 10 years old in cats, affecting an astounding 1 in 3 felines. As cats age, they gradually lose their kidney function, which significantly compromises their quality of life....

This is 8 years old though, whereas the article is discussing clinical trials.

Buying neices and nephews Christmas presents?

At what age would you stop buying presents for nieces and nephews? I have 3 and they’re all officially out of college now. They live in a different state. When they were little kids the presents made sense but now it seems forced. I just don’t know how to transition away other than just not doing it.

I’ve tried the various self cleaning and given up on them, my maine coon pees too much for most litter to handle.

Check out www.purina.com/tidy-cats/breeze-cat-litter-boxes

It’s basically mostly non-absorbing pellets and then a pee pad underneath. You just dump the pad out every few days and put a new one in, then dump and replace the pellets once a month.

Hasn’t this already happened? I don’t see screensaver very often anymore.

SSD keeps going read only

So I own a Lenovo legion 5i laptop and I installed a brand new mushkin Vortex 2tb NVME SSD last year. But it has gone into read only about 30 times since I got it but smart reports 0 errors. I reboot my machine and boom fixed it it takes place in windows and in Linux often in the middle of my work so I can’t save again. I did...

Shadow,

Check dmesg for errors, not smart.

Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

If your filesystem is going read only, that’s your filesystem doing it and not the disk itself. You may just have a corrupt FS that can be solved with a repair, rather than a failing drive.

Or maybe you have a failing drive, in which case IO errors in dmesg will confirm that you need to replace it.

Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

You’re probably selecting a one time boot menu, rather than actually changing the boot order. Windows isn’t doing this.

Just notice a bunch of other products coming out soon too - philips-hue.com/…/newest-philips-hue-products

They’re zigbee, just don’t use their controller and there’s no problem while also being faster + more reliable.

A slightly more polished version might be a locate db per disk

There’s no actual vuln here is there? It’s just a persistent backdoor that hides with some elf and kernel tricks.

Played a game of bsg where the person setting up miscounted the player cards. We thought we were home free when a surprise cylon showed up and killed us all.

How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.

I run 10G over the shitty cat 5 they used for my phone wiring, although at less than 200’. You can get away with worse than what the specs say.

This is pretty normal, you get a surge of users and then it tapers off a bit as people don’t like it.

Could be a lot worse, take a look at the user graph for threads.

Not related, haven’t seen this one before.

Is it still happening? Is it with all images, or just a specific one? Can you try an incongito window or a different browser to rule out any cache issues?

Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Can you try an incognito tab?

Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar
  1. Is it too big of an image? Try a different / smaller file
  2. What browser?
  3. Try an incognito tab
  4. If that solves it, it’s a plugin or cache issue on your side
  5. If that doesn’t solve it, if you could open your developer console and get me the raw request/response that’s failing and DM it to me
Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

So yeah it’s probably a plugin or something. Do you have any privacy / ad blockers installed? One of them might be doing it.

lemmy-ui will crash and burn if it can’t load the site logo

lol yeah I discovered this one a while ago. Thanks for the tip on setting it to null.

pitcrs is not actually stateless. You MUST save that weird sled database

Yeah I was assuming so, didn’t think it was stateless.

pictrs migration code is a bit on the shit side.

Awesome.

migration is dogshit slow.

Even more awesome. I do know there have been performance improvements in recent patches, so if you did your migration awhile ago then we should hopefully be faster. We do have 350gb to migrate though.

My current thought is:

  1. Block image uploads at the nginx level to make pictrs read-only-ish
  2. Clone the database for a second pictrs container
  3. Start the migration in that second container
  4. Leave the primary container up and serving images, but without any uploads.
Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

The problem I see with your plan is running pictrs during migration - you will still get thumbnails generated during that time. All this will lead to split brain. Not too big of a deal as you simply won’t have thumbnails for recent sites, but, technically speaking, you will still have data loss in terms of imaging. Might as well avoid the overhead of making a copy of the db.

Yep but I was thinking that losing some thumbnails was better than having image delivery completely off for hours…

We’ve all been busy with personal stuff, but we’ll get there soon!

@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Migration is complete!

Unfortunately it looks like pict-rs won’t generate thumbnails / images for posts that came in while things were moving, but otherwise all content should be there!

I’ve made a config change, let me know if that resolves it for you.

Shadow,

Odd. I’m not seeing it in the logs since I made the change. I’ve restarted the mlmym app in case that helps. Let me know if it persists.

Not at all. It’s not like they’re just listening for a dumb radio signal, they use crypto.

This is the real answer. Everyone has a hard on for a secure lock, when a thief is just going to break a window.

Consider your actual threat model. You don’t have the LPL trying to get into your house.

30 mph = 48 kph. That’s not really the same at all.

30 mph isn’t an unreasonable default speed, but 30 kph is really slow unless you’re talking a dense city core.

Oops yeah, totally misread!

Jitsi, the open-source video conferencing platform, now requires a Google, Microsoft, or Facebook account for their online service (jitsi.org)

While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account....

There’s plenty of disposable email services out there.
