  • AUR packages ending with"-git" or “-svn” always pull the latest commit from source. The version number means that was the last time the packager had to change something on the PKGBUILD script, not the actual version which would be installed.

    Where should I look? Where were these talks? I’m interested.

    Edit: I found the whitepaper about hole punching: https://research.protocol.ai/publications/decentralized-hole-punching/

    It says it connects to a “Hole Punch Coordination (DCUtR - Direct Connection Upgrade through Relay)”. So for NAT traversal to work, you need a third party, this relay. As I expected. I guess you can self host this, but than you could just host a wireguard server. I guess if you are on a locked down network where you cannot connect to any relay (e.g. how the Chinese Great Firewall works technically they could block it) you can’t initiate a connection behind a NAT.

    Nonetheless it seems interesting, but no magic here. Maybe the big difference that the relay servers are distributed, so no central authority to block easily.




  • It’s incorrect. I have 2 AMD cards, I can detach it from linux before booting the guest. After I shut down the guest I have to log out in Gnome to make the card usable again, but no reboot required. It depends on how you set it up. I have a single 34" monitor with 2 inputs, connected to both cards.

    I recommend to read about this topic, it would be quicker than waiting for people to answer, your questions were answered multiple times. I recommend the vfio wiki on the r*ddit a lot of good links are collected there: https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/wiki/index










  • It’s not the browser but the websites.

    Two way video streaming will be always resource intensive.

    But for the other websites the choise is yours, you don’t have to use amazon or goog, there are alternatives.

    Also if you doesn’t have enough ram close the tabs. My 10 years old low end laptop with 8GB ram, I know I can’t have more than 6-8 tabs open at the same time.


  • but I don’t see how what I am proposing would make things more difficult?

    Now when a user reports a troll, the report goes to the moderators of the community. But in special cases the admins of the user instances should deal with banning. So the admins of the community instances have to deal with reports, but the solution is at the hand of the user instance admins. It’s the same as dealing with users from other instances, but an edge case.

    My recommendations would be something like this: (I’m just a random user, so it’s just my point of view)

    • Shut down the fully inactive instances. Noone will even even notice it
    • Merge the semi active communities to a handful of instances, like sports and technology… . I’ve seen active communities move instances, it would be possible, take a look how [email protected] migrated to [email protected]. Give enough time for subscribers to notice and subscribe to the new one.
    • Allow registration of moderators on these instances, so they can work around the current limitations of moderation tools. Maybe an invite only solution or something like this.
    • You could find help more easily if you look for admins for 3-4 instances instead of for 18 instances.

    This would be useful for you and other admins, because you would have to admin much less number of instances. They would be still considered small instances, compared to big one, so you still not at the “too big to fail” level. For users it would help community discovery, there are overlap between followers of similar topics, e.g. I have friends who follow both European football and NBA at the same time, I read both selfhosting related topics and about general tech support, etc…
