Unless I am mistaken, the total number the other comment is raising is how much power the entire network spent calculating the transaction, not how much the winner (the one who got paid out) spent. You calculate the energy consumption of the entire network because that power was still spent on the transaction even if the rest of the network wasn’t rewarded. I have no idea if the numbers presented are correct but the reasoning seems sensible. Maybe I’m wrong though. :)

Ah I was getting it confused. At one point Steam stored everything in ~/.local/share/steam and symlinked ~/.steam to it. Doesn’t appear to be the case on Ubuntu 22.04, though I used to use Debian and grab the .deb from Valve’s website. My bad! :)
I’ve played Jak 1 on OpenGAOL with 101% completion. It’s an amazing job. i can’t wait to do the same for Jak 2. Those games are a little painful to emulate what with the hacks required to fix shadows.
The downtime issue for identities is already solved with a government certificate and distributed certificate revocation list. As long as multiple independent parties are mirroring the government’s list, taking down the government servers would not affect identity verification. Certificate Transparency solves the CA compromise problem since you have a log of all issued certs.
WhatsApp claims to be E2E/not readable by Facebook and to my knowledge, all we have to the contrary is speculation provided you verify the keys on both ends (same as Signal). Facebook might know who you’re messaging but that’s also true for Signal. I’d still 100% trust Signal over WhatsApp given Facebook’s massive conflict of interest, but SMS has been known-bad and collected by the NSA for a decade now. US telecommunications companies also have a terrible reputation for privacy. The only advantage it has over any other platform is portability between providers but even that falls to the side since you can have multiple messaging apps at once.
Fair. But I would say they have a disincentive to lie about E2E because it’s a selling point of WhatsApp and if they didn’t care they could just roll WhatsApp into Facebook Messenger where there is no promise of E2E.
Invidious has been a saviour for me on mobile. The ads were so painfully long. To make it worse, I’d use YouTube to help fall asleep, adjust it to the right volume, then BAM! Loud advert. I didn’t use an ad blocker on PC for ages because I get that bandwidth is expensive as hell, but they really started taking the piss and I gave up.
Are you running QEMU directly, or through libvirt (GNOME Boxes, Virt Manager)?
EDIT: NVM I see you’ve answered that in another comment. I believe you can’t do this with QEMU directly. If you don’t need to be able to edit the VM config besides core count, disk size and RAM use GNOME Boxes. Otherwise use Virt Manager.
I get them every now and then, but refreshing the page fixes it every time. I’m not logged in to a Google account and my browser is set to clear cookies for all but a few domains on restart, so maybe that’s contributing? Don’t restart often though.
Client Hello is one of the ways firewalls figure out what site you’re going to in order to block it from memory (its possible I’m getting this confused for a different request). Curious to see the impact of this.
What if the modular computing evangelists at Framework decided to make a handheld? YouTuber Pitstoptech has largely answered this question by building a “fully upgradeable gaming handheld” around one of Framework’s upgradable motherboards....
I’m surprised it’s not per-seat or per-user. Not like the dev is getting more money if the user re-installs the game. Also not a fan of it being monthly. I get why you would charge twice if the user installs it twice since you may not be able to track concurrent installs without DRM, but that should only apply if you choose a per-install licence. Per-install also opens you up to malicious users installing/uninstalling to make you pay.
There should be a per-seat/per-user perpetual price if the dev never updates the Unity engine itself. I get charging per-seat/per-user monthly if they devs are pulling in new versions, but that should stop if you cease updating.
When trying to install games on an ext4 external drive I get a disk write error from steam. Whenever I reset the permissions on the drive to both read and write, not just read, steam immediately reverts that whenever it’s opened.
Where is Steam writing to and where is the drive mounted to? If the drive is mounted at /mnt/games, create the folder: /mnt/game/steam, run “chmod /mnt/game/steam” and then have Steam create it’s library within there. So in the end, Steam’s folder will probably be at /mnt/games/steam/SteamLibrary. This way it shouldn’t matter what Steam is setting the permissions to.
I have started work on splitting up parts of the Sushi Train into smaller factories. The thing I liked about the Sushi Train was that if one of the assemblers/manufacturers/etc weren’t producing anything anymore, then another could use the same building resource instead. That way you don’t end up wasting ingot/ore production because the assemblers are idle. As an example, I have moved copper sheet, ingot and wire construction (mostly) next to the miner and each of the 3 can use 100% of the miners output. That way resources are only wasted if both constructors are idle and no ingots are needed elsewhere.
The short but incorrect answer would be somewhere between 300-400 hours, but that’s from the start of playing Satisfactory (as in, my first time playing this game) up to completing the last launch in the space elevator to get the golden mug. It also includes many nights of just leaving the game running. I originally started (with friends) in the flat grasslands and started moving a lot of production into the area you see in the video. A lot of the coal generators and things built on foundations (the stuff that looks neat) was built by friends.
I think nuclear is one of my favorite parts of the game. The process for making it and then converting the uranium waste into plutonium is massive, but feels so rewarding once it’s done. Thing is, I’m only running one plant at the moment since I still have enough power production from coal and geothermal. Figured it’d be best to keep plutonium waste to a minimum until I really start needing it, unless they add a feature to bury it. I’ve moved my plants next to the out-of-bounds area near Niagara Falls so I can store the plutonium waste in a container out-of-bounds.
I don’t post much on Lemmy and am trying to decide how I want to post without just encouraging everybody to go on the big instances, and so my posts don’t disappear if an instance dies. Figured posting to my own instance and then cross-posting to a large instance and some smaller ones would be a good way to encourage growth everywhere but that’s just me overthinking as always. Tis’ an interesting experiment.
I can get that. I guess the concern would be that Coffee Stain start purging/deleting anything out-of-bounds? You can see the container for the plutonium waste off in the distance a little. The power plants are half in/half-out of the out-of-bounds area.
This also helps mitigate the risk of people posting CSAM to attack other communities which your instance is subscribed to right? If you instance never cached the image, there’s no clean-up you have to do on your end provided the original instance removes the image from their server.
As you’ve mentioned, it makes sense for larger instances to have a cache, but smaller instance (especially single-user instances) may actually be better off not caching at all and just hosting their own images. As a more long-term solution which can add to this patch, it would be good if Lemmy did 2 things:
Separated the image cache for images from other instances so it can be cleared automatically on a schedule. E.g. Images which are a local cache are deleted after X days. Yes there are proper caching algorithms used in filesystems which would be better long-term, but a quick solution for this is probably better than no solution.
Periodically check for images which were uploaded by your own users to see if they are being referenced by any posts or comments. If not, delete them. I would imagine this could be a fairly intense operation so limiting this more fine-grained approach to images uploaded by your own users and taking the more liberal approach with cached images may help performance.
One issue that came to mind when I tried to re-write this comment to post it on lemmy_support: a post can be made to communities with completely different rules resulting in commenters following the rules of the community they are in, but not the other community the post was sent to. This seems like a pretty big issue for moderation.
Only idea I had in mind would be to have the post go to a “home” community and all other communities pull the comments from that one and submit their own comments to that one. If the “home” community has rules that the others roughly follow that might help filter the extreme ends out so you don’t just get constant de-federation.
Content allowed on instances:
Instance 1: Content A, B
Instance 2: Content B only
Instance 3: Content B, C
By making instance 2 the home for the post, which by it’s own rules only allows content that both instance 1 and 3 allow themselves, you filter out the content which 1 and 3 would hate. Of course, this puts the moderation burden on instance 2. You could still allow instances 1 and 3 to have their own comments which instance 2 doesn’t allow, but only they will see those comments.
IDK, I feel I’m starting to see why Lemmy works the way it does. I’ll post in !lemmy_support if I get a better idea. :)
