Most likely because the news is in English. And why would Natrium be better on an international forum?
It is Sodium in most Latin languages (despite Natrium being Latin), in Hindi and in Arabic. And Chinese has a different root. Among the 10 most spoken languages (according to Wikipedia), only Russian is using Natrium.
I always said salt, of sodium chloride for NaCl. Who is using sodium for table salt? The only time I heard that associated was when saying that table salt is a source of sodium, which is true.
By quantity of oil, I would think an oil spill is more damaging.
However, the damage from the sum of all oil spills pale in comparison to the damage of burned fossil fuels. But that’s because we try not to spill oil too much, that’s expensive to waste it.
The cheapest ICE Dacia is 12000€. I suspect you are comparing a new car price vs a used car price, which is quite unfair.
You can get a used Dacia or a used Zoe for a bit under 10000€, which has probably less km than your car (see this one zoomcar.fr/dacia-spring-business-2020-33479218.ht…, or the numerous Zoe). Now granted these are not great cars: but it is hard to compare a 5-10 year-old ICE with an electric, simply because the electric used market is still small as these cars are new.
Now you raise a valid point on the chargers. But this is coming and that’s why no one (almost no one, I’m sure there are lunatics somewhere) wants to ban ICE right away. You ban new ones in 7 years, and this means that in 17 years a good majority of the cars will be electric. Chargers are quite quick to install, especially low power ones. There are many companies focusing on street light charging and as the number of electric cars grow, public chargers will become more available with a denser network. It’s really a chicken and egg problem - they won’t install massive amounts of chargers for them to stay unused.
Be careful about news on this. The data coming from satellitemap.space can be unreliable for recent data.
If you look at he work from Marco Langbroek twitter.com/…/1705562829225410697 or Jonathan McDowell, respected figures in space object tracking, these reports are inacurate.
It’s not really major news because the report is inaccurate and they are not dying at any abnormal rate at the moment. The only news is that one website is having issues updating their data and can temporarily display misleading information.
Instance are far from being simple proxies. While instances can act as proxies for other instances, the aim is to have each instances to have their own communities and be somewhat self sufficient. If you remove the federation, Lemmy (and other fediverse software) still work, it’s just that it is more difficult in that case to reach a critical mass of users.
For hub I am not sure, that sounds a bit more mainstream to me, with the caveat that English is not my mother tongue. That gives a nice image that an instance is basically an access hub to a whole universe of data.
Overlay it with a map of electricity emissions and it will fit nicely with a few small exceptions (like any small country neighbouring Poland, they will have bad air regardless of their own production).
Made a quick test of mesh VPN clients. Test was performed between host and a VM, both running Kubuntu 23.04. VM ran on KVM with a virtio network adapter....
Tailscale surprisingly was the fastest, even faster than plain Wireguard, despite being userspace. But it also consumed more memory (245 MB after the iperf3 test!) and CPU.
Do we know if this is a variation due to the test protocol or Tailscale is using wireguard with specific settings to improve, slightly, its speed?
If you have fiber, it’s unlikely you will benefit from something like Starling. Transfer data wirelessly through a constellation of satellites will have running costs much higher than just having a fibre. That is unless you have to dog a trench or run a fibre on mast for km for just one customer, which is where Starling starts making more sense.
Starling is for rural customers, mobile customers, and possibly an option to counter monopoly abuse by some Telco companies. But if you are in a city with fibre, then do use the fibre, that’s your better option.
It depends on what you value. For performance and power density, nothing really beats lithium at the moment.
However, for grid-scale battery these parameters are not necessarily very important. What matters most is cost over the lifetime, and that’s wher zinc batteries could be useful. They have the potential to be much cheaper than the cheapest lithium batteries.
There are less guarantees regarding life time due to radiations, but they are surprisingly good on this and the one in the link still work to this day (525km orbit)
If you are in an enterprise environment, it is easier to sell Ubuntu - at least there is a company that can provide support for it behind. Companies want to make sure someone is on the hook to fix an issue that would be blocking to them, and this is much harder with something like Debian.
That’s why Red Hat is used that much in companies, and what Canonical main revenues are coming from.
But as a selfhoster, I use Debian by default for my servers. Only if there is a very specific need for Ubuntu would I switch, and I am frankly tired of the Snap shenanigans on my desktop (thinking of migrating to PopOS or KDE Neon).

One thing to keep in mind is that the websocket sync is not straightforward to set up with vaultwarden and the proxy. If you don’t have it working, then your client does not necessarily sync on every change.
Maybe this is related to this, with sync not being performed by the client you were using for modification?
If an instance were to leave the fediverse do we loose all its data? Say for example iPad Lenny.ml domain was seized or was forced to shutdown so we loose all communities from that host? Do we not see any posts? Can we still post to it? Seems like a big flaw if we have multiple large instances that can shutdown a significant...
We lose the communities from that instance, yes. And that’s why people want to make sure you don’t have one dominant instance on the threadiverse. But frankly that issue will be there unless you have a fully decentralised system.
That being said, other instances will have a cache of the activities happening on this other instance. You can then fairly easily recreate it from this cache, and if you have a lot of storage, can also have a limitless cache.
It supports a proper sync (my wife’s shared events do show up on my phone and I can modify them there) and the address book is specific to each user by default, but you can create shared address books as well. Again, that is synced two ways.
For LDAP, by default nextcloud only reads it. But you can enable LDAP writing as well.
Yes, same for me. On android DAVx5 is perfect, and on MacOS, iOS there is native support. For Linux and Windows, your mileage may vary (fairly easy on Linux but very different variations and some require additional software).
I don’t know if there is any specific utilities for that. You can always export your settings and reimplement them in lldap: this should be doable with a python script.
I never really understand why LDAP was so complicated. There must be needs in big setups that I am aware of but strangely I always found it not intuitive.
While I wholeheartedly concur with the message, I am not sure that this is effective. Frankly I would happily accept thousands of people fighting to write “fuck marsokod” over a an image if that meant propping my shares by a few millions ahead of an IPO.
Maybe you want a more neutral and stable metrics for a dynamic measure of the gravity? Otherwise you can flood Lemmy with new posts to bury something.
Maybe something related to the average number of active users over the past 30 days over the topics you are looking at, which is harder to alter. But regardless, the steepness is definitely an issue as it should change with the number of posts.
Running a TrueNAS Scale server with Jellyfin and planning to add Nextcloud. How would I be able to access these services from outside my network? I have heard portforwarding is unsafe and a VPN seems inconvenient to me.
I’ll provide an ELI5, though if you actually want to use it you’ll have to go beyond ELI5.
You contact a web service via a combination of IP address and port. For the sake of simplicity, we can assume that domain name is equivalent to IP address. You can then compare domain name/port with street name/street number: you need both to actually find someone. By default, some street numbers are really standard, like 443 is for regular encrypted connection. But you can have any service on any street number, it’s just less nice and less standard. This is usually done on closed networks.
Now what happens if you have a lot of services and you want all of them reachable at address 443? Well basically you are now in the same situation as a business building with a lobby. Whenever you want to contact a service, you go to 443, ask the reception what floor they are in, and they will direct you there. The reception desk is your proxy: just making sure you talk to the right people.
To be fair, I am sure many people also have multiple accounts on the same instance. I am not sure what is the proportion between people opening accounts for backup like you and people just wanting alt accounts.

The world produces 15Mt of beans every year. The average shit post with beans has 700g of beans in it. This means Lemy can scale to around 22 billions shitposts/year. We have some margin.
Indeed, the way they did that makes me quite angry. But at the same time, that's 1Gbps vs 20Mbps upload, and I was struggling with the limitation when working from home sometimes. The one one is also cheaper so if the tunneling option works without too much pain, I'd be willing to give it a go.
No dedicated opt-out offered, but I can migrate to the 3Gbps plan that is not using CG-NAT (for now...) But that is £25/month more expensive. That's a nice VPS.
I did consider it, and I have not cancelled the old one yet. But that becomes more expensive than migrating to the higher end plan without CG NAt of the provider.

Imagine you are at school and every class display their drawings/paintings. And because the teacher are super nice, they allow you to write comments under the drawings. That school is one lemmy server, with each class being a subreddit.
What is nice about lemmy is that it is federated. This means that by going into your school, you can also view what other schools are doing, and that is really nice to learn what other people are doing. This is also used so that you can have lots of small schools everywhere with a smaller size, closer to everyone’s home and can also be better for some people.
However, at some point the administrator of beehaw saw that some pupils from lemmy.world were a bit annoying, putting graffitis and making a mess. And the administrator of lemmy.world wanted to have as many pupils in his school as possible, which makes filtering and managing bad pupils difficult. So the administrator from beehaw basically established a rule: the pupils from lemmy.world cam still view our drawings, but they are not allowed to write anything. And this will be the rule until the behaviour of the lemmy.world school improves.
