Google promised a better search experience — now it’s telling us to put glue on our pizza
  • I’ve actually had pretty good success with ChatGPT when I go in expecting it to hallucinate a significant chunk of what it spits back at me. I like to think of it as a way to help process my own ideas. If I ask questions with at least a base understanding of the topic, I can then take whatever garbage it gives me and go off and find real solutions. The key is to not trust it whole cloth to give you the right answer, but to give you some nuggets that set you on the right path.

    I think I’ve basically turned ChatGPT into my rubber duck.

  • Suddenly getting a server error on my instance
  • So...it's working now? I haven't touched anything yet, but I just checked my instance again and it works perfectly fine on desktop now. It always worked through Voyager, so I was able to let people know there was an issue. If it comes back I'll try some of these suggestions to find a more permanent fix.

  • Suddenly getting a server error on my instance

    I don't know when it started, I usually check my instance through the Voyager app and it never showed a problem, but I'm suddenly getting "server error" and 502 bad gateway errors on my instance on desktop. I haven't made any major changes (read, any at all) since I last confirmed it worked on desktop.

    Checking the logs I don't see any obvious proxy issues but I am getting weird connection issues in lemmy-ui:

    TypeError: fetch failed lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at Object.fetch (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:11730:11) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) { lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | cause: ConnectTimeoutError: Connect Timeout Error lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at onConnectTimeout (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6869:28) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6825:50 lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at Immediate._onImmediate (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6857:13) lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | at process.processImmediate (node:internal/timers:478:21) { lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | code: 'UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT' lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | } lemmy-lemmy-ui-1 | }

    Where on earth can I even begin to address this?

    [SOLVED] Need some guidance with upgrading
  • Upgraded to 0.18.5, which now gives me this error:

  • [SOLVED] Need some guidance with upgrading

    Hi! I'm hoping for some guidance upgrading my instance. I'm still running on v0.17.3 because I ran into some issues upgrading to 0.18 and didn't have time to really figure it out. Now that the current release is v0.19, I have people on my instance asking to upgrade and I don't blame them. Can I simply point Docker compose at the latest release, or do I have to do incremental upgrades? What do I need to look out for with v0.18? Documentation seems to be pretty slim for whatever breaking changes happened during that release cycle and how to deal with them. Any help is appreciated!

    EDIT: Thank you for all the help! I also had to update pictrs and fix some small config issues and then everything worked as expected. I'm now on 0.19.1!

    PayPal sued in US consumer case over 'industry-high' transaction fees
  • About freaking time. I have it as an option but I hate using it. I’ve been looking for alternatives for a while now because I just expect to lose a couple hundred bucks in “processing” for every project I work on.

    Some Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down
  • I never used Apollo (I'm an Android user) but I tried wefwef for the first time today and I'm surprised at how natural it feels. If this is what Apollo was like I'm sad I didn't get a chance to experience it.

    Add-ons you can't live without?

    Let's make a list of our favorite add-ons! For me, I always enable these by default:

    • Images as Planes
    • LoopTools
    • Copy Attributes Menu

    Then I go out and get my favorite 3rd party add-ons (note, some of these are paid, some are free):

    I'm sure there are others but this list is off the top of my head. What do you all use?

    If a person with bad vision uses manual focus on a camera, can the focus be adjusted to their own prescription?
  • Disclaimer: I'm not an optician. I do, however, work in advertising and happen to have a number of clients in the lens manufacturing industry. Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.

    Short answer is, not really.

    Diagnosing vision issues is much more complicated than simply "is it in focus". The shape of the cornea, how your eye physically reacts to light, distance from an object, and disease all have an impact on how you perceive the world around you. That's why you have things like aberrations, glares, near sightedness, far sightedness, and a plurality of other vision problems. When someone is fitted for glasses or contact lenses, a number of parameters (read, dozens) are required get what is considered a proper "fit".

    There are some similarities between how a camera lens works and our eyes, but you also have to consider that you're not just looking through the lens itself, you're focusing on a screen that's attached to the lens. So, if you can't focus your eye sight at the distance the screen is at, it doesn't matter what the camera is seeing, because it'll look like garbage to you either way.
