I’ll be the heretic here, but so far as I know you are only required to make source available when you distribute binaries. And for that matter, it doesn’t even have to be online just available upon request unless you’re using a derivative GPL that added online access as a clause.

I highly doubt the users of a web interface are required to be given access to source. There are multiple GPL-licensed web servers (I am well aware Apache is not btw) and I’ve never seen one embed a code link on every page.

Tl;Dr: Lemmy does it, but I believe it’s not required. Modify away if you so choose.

Funny, Taffer was in my head when I was writing that. This is the level of come-to-Jesus Linus needs.

I expect today there’s a conversation going on between Terren, Yvonne and Linus:

"Linus, you need to decide if you want to be the public face and final authority of LMG, or if you want to be the owner of a successful business that you occasionally participate in with limited official interactions outside the board level.

If the company continues to have crisis moments and negative PR events on the scale we’ve had the past few days, you will be the owner of nothing but debt and depreciation. And frankly, I’m not going to stay here and ride the company down into disaster. You’re the owner, if you want to continue to run the company as it has been ultimately it’s your right but I will be stepping away. I implore you to make the right decision not just for yourself but all the employees at LMG who depend on their income from working here."

Yes. If it’s a workplace injury, OSHA has the authority to come in and dictate mitigation measures.

Clearly this isn’t true.

I don’t see how this would go anywhere after 303 Creative.

Corporations are people for the purposes of free speech thanks to Citizens United. Congress can’t pass a law depriving them of their free speech rights - and animal welfare would definitely fall within the scope.

303 says - among other things - that state or federal law can’t compel to to perform an act against your right to free speech.

I do. DeSantis’s anti-woke legislation forced textbook makers to transform Rosa Parks into bus Karen. Seriously, Google it, don’t take my word for it.

Right, but take the converse: if they didn’t own land, they definitely couldn’t afford a slave.

You’re sniping, but I think the parent poster was accurate in what they said. I don’t think it was an euphemism for slave. It was the 1800s. What would you do with a slave if you didn’t own property? If they’re not tilling and planting or harvesting, or keeping house, or cooking, what would they be doing? A horse would be far more effective at pulling a carriage, and keeping one as a sex slave - while it definitely happened - was strongly looked down upon by society at the time.

If you kept a slave and had no good reason to own one aside from sex, you might well disappear in the night one night - not out of protection for the slave(s) but racial purity.

Real talk: those lenses aren’t worth basing your whole buying decision on.

To answer the question you asked, the smallest camera Canon ever made in EF mount is the Rebel SL series. It’s a little pricey for its features even second hand. The EOS 800D (Rebel T7i) is only slightly bigger, has a much better low light AF system and is generally available for less.

My recommendation though would be to sell those lenses and get something more in line with your photography goals. Do you really want interchangeable lenses? Because you can get prosumer point and clicks with better quality integrated lenses, and ditching the whole mounting system saves a ton of weight and space.

If you want interchangeable lenses, look at something mirrorless. Canon, Sony, Panasonic. Find a good lens or three and base your body purchase around that. If your lens inventory value isn’t 5-10x the value of your body, you probably would have been better off with a point and shoot.

On that side, look at the Sony DSC-RX100 series. And pay attention to the lens. At some point in the series, Sony switched from a 24-70 to a 28-200; if you’re looking at an old enough model that it’s got the 24-70, Sony makes a brand new “budget” model called the ZV-1 that’s basically an updated older RX100.

Windows 10 LTSC (for me) generally has uptime that is the equivalent of any Linux box. I’ve been using it to host Plex for several years - before hardware transcoding support in Linuxv was really up to snuff.

LTSC is what Windows should be. It’s a shame Microsoft doesn’t make it available (legally) to normal consumers.

I made a post that was similar a week or so back that was fairly controversial where I advocated changing how the federation protocol works. I’ve been thinking about it more, and I think I have a solution to your concern (and mine) that keeps the admins feelings about federation and not allowing one instance to dominate in mind.

On Reddit, especially old.reddit, when you search at the top you actually get two different search results: subreddits matching %string% at the top, posts matching %string% at the bottom.

We should mirror that. The current search should be modified in the same structure and pump the search string into https://browse.feddit.de/ or implement it’s process into the server code.

I think when someone types in android, getting a list of currently existing Lemmy communities with their respective populations and post counts is probably the easiest way to smooth out the learning curve.

Yes.

And to some of the child replies, I think there’s a question of scale that often gets overlooked. In all these discussions, there seems to be two different groups commingling: ones who just need 1-2 simultaneous streams, and ones who are doing true whole-house-plus systems.

I’m serving subtitles-enabled streams to (mostly) Roku clients - who need the server to burn in the subtitle track for some insane reason. It’s nothing for my Plexbox to be serving 6 simultaneous streams. A 4790K would definitely not cut it for me.

Honestly, don’t bother with a dGPU and get a 12th or 13th gen Intel Core chip with QSV. Intel quietly tuned it up to the point where it’s faster than nVidia’s NVENC engine even in the latest gen plus you don’t have mess around with the uncap streams hack and you’re transcoding through system RAM not dGPU RAM, so far less likely that your stream limit will be artificially constrained by memory limitations.

To answer the question you asked though, the nVidia NVENC is the best solution on a dGPU. It’s performance is largely the same across the same board generation, with one exception in the GTX 10X0 series. The absolute cheapest card you can lay your hands on that has an NVENC engine is the 1050TI.

The caveat is the 1070 and 1080 have two NVENC engines. It will double max number of streams in theory, however in reality you’re memory bound on those cards and it’s more like a 33% bump.

Good note, thanks. Just made the change.

Here we go:

Example files

Any place you see <something>, you need to change it to fit and omit the <>. If something <matches> in two differet places <matches> like this, make sure they match when you’re done as well. Specifically, the postgres user and password in the lemmy docker file and the lemmy.hjson.

Finally, in Google drive the files end in .txt so you can view them. You’ll need to correct the file names when you download them if you intend to use them. You should have two docker-compose.yml, one in each of the two directories you create, and one lemmy.hjson.

From a fresh CLI Debian 11 install:

su
/sbin/usermod -aG sudo <user>
groups <user>
apt-get install sudo
cd /opt
mkdir npm
cd npm
(copy or create docker-compose.yml)
apt-get install docker-compose
docker-compose up -d
cd /opt
mkdir lemmy
cd lemmy
(copy or create docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson)
mkdir -p volumes/pictrs
chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs
docker-compose up -d
docker ps (verify containers are all running, grab ip address for lemmy container)
Configure port forwarding in npm for your lemmy container (npm should be accessible at debian_ip_address:81)
Remember to do the custom paths from the various guides. The lemmy port in this guide is 1234.

Please note I am not addressing federation or SSL or true hosting yet. I haven’t got that far yet. But if you can get the damn thing running, the last mile shouldn’t be too bad.

So I wanted to make a top-level post: I’ve got a set of example files, and instructions, that will work 100% of the time on Debian. What do you guys think would be the best way to share them? A post here and the files shared on Google Drive? GitHub? Definitely open to suggestions, but I don’t want anyone to struggle with it as hard as I have.

This worked for me, with one note:

<dbuser> and <dbpassword> need to be lemmy and password if you’re using the stock lemmy.hjson file, or the lemmy_lemmy_1 container will get stuck in a reboot loop. There’s no define in the stock file in githubusercontent currently for those, so you have to add them by hand.

For security, you have to change these.

Sorry that these are screenshots and not files, but I’m working through Chrome Remote Desktop so my options are a bit limited. This is what I get when I execute ‘ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml’ regardless of whether I have it set to terry@ or root@, and whether I use --become or not.

So, I’m having what I assume is a very basic issue. Going through the ansible install steps, I’ve created an /etc/ansible/hosts with

[servers] server1 ansible_host=localhost

[all:vars] ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3

My understanding is this should work, but ansible all -m ping is failing.

The furthest I got last night, that was where I got stuck as well.
