Ah ok, yep that sounds interesting.

The term for this is "multiseat". That's where you have one computer with N monitors and N keyboards and N mice plugged into it. Try typing "linux multiseat" into your search engine / chatgpt and see where that goes.

This isn't a common thing to do so it probably won't be easy. Also games and GPU-intensive apps might not play nice with multiseat...

Doing anything graphics intensive, like 3D modelling, tends to be really really janky and slow over a network. It's not like streaming video where a bit of latency or jitter is acceptable - with 3D work you need an instant response when you try to manipulate an object. Rethink this whole approach because even if you get it work, it'll be disappointing.

I heard you like spreadsheets so I put a spreadsheet in your game so you can spreadsheet while you game

I'm a bit confused. You start out by saying your want to build a server and then you talk about 3D software and a beefy graphics card. Those kinds of things are usually done on desktops / workstation PCs. Which is it?

Do you want one big computer and then run a few VMs on it, which you access through the LAN?

lol the guy running behind it carrying a wifi router

"Do you regularly watch videos by Jordan Peterson?" kinda needs to become one of those before-first-date screening questions.

I saw a snippet of it.

The code was using a function to connect to mysql that was deprecated in PHP 5 and removed in PHP 7. So they must have been running PHP 5.x. It also contained an obvious SQL injection vuln (although that wasn't used for the hack).

It's on the radar, yes.

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn't.

After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn't worth it.

if you turn off "Show posts from child feeds" on the Forumverse feed then https://piefed.social/f/lemmycategories will load much faster...

That's pretty cool. Lots of potential for richer warnings than a beep on the right or left too, like a voice saying "a bike is Infront of you, move right 2 feet".

Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE, lowered expectations of the group’s savings from $1 trillion to $150 billion by the end of the fiscal year.

So, a failure even on their own terms.

This idea is quite similar to what Bluesky is doing, with "Labels" https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation.

We'd need some way to crowdsource the verification and validity of the labels so people can't just put low-quality or abusive labels everywhere.

It could potentially reduce the amount of work moderators need to do because spam would be labelled as such by anyone and if a few others also label it the same then it would reach a threshold where the label becomes active.

Does anyone have experience with this way of moderating content on Bluesky? How well does it work in practice?

That was more interesting than 18 downvotes. Thanks!

It is against the Geneva Convention to use POWs for propaganda.

Imagine you want to write a competitor to PostgreSQL and you start out by importing SQLite into your project and building on top of that. To you it seems like a good idea because you've never written a DB app before and the only DB you've ever seen before is SQLite. You'll get a prototype real fast but you'll never build a PostgreSQL equivalent because you never learned the foundational knowledge of how a DB works and because SQLite forecloses all the pathways you need to get there.

Same thing.

Because outsourcing your core business processes is a bad idea. A fediverse app that relies on a library to do all the fediverse stuff is going to have a bad time. Not straight away, but eventually.
