If your instance freely hosts whatever without any oversight, word will spread and all of a sudden you’re hosting all sorts of bad stuff. It’s not technically illegal if you don’t know about it, but I personally don’t want anything to do with that.

Yeah, this is my primary concern. I’m hoping that there are established best practices for handling the majority of this sort of unwanted content.

Run the software that scans images for CSAM.

Which software is that?

If you have open registrations you’ll be doing a lot of moderation for spam.

Perhaps Captchas are sufficient?

We require applications

Is this functionality built into the Lemmy software?

Addendum (2024-11-11T00:32Z):

Ah, yeah, it looks like it is configurable in the admin panel [1].

• data ingress/egress
• storage (block and DB)

Do you have any estimations on the relationship between user count and average data transfer rates, and the average rate of storage increase?

choose your host wisely

Do you have any particular recommendations for a host?

When did we reach the point of deep fried Tintin?

I mean, that’s a cool looking QR code that I’ve never seen before, which I suppose is technology related, but, other than that, I have no idea wtf this post is even supposed to be.

“Futurama – The Great Garbage Crisis of 2000”

Ah, so it does [1]. Apologies! Perhaps another older Thinkpad has a 12" screen? From what I’ve heard, and from my experience with my own T460, they’re usually pretty solid laptops, so if you could find one with the specs that you are seeking, I would say that it’s worth considering.

Older Thinkpad (eg T460)?

Dang, that’s pretty neat! Man, there’s probably going to be some funky bugs with legacy code getting included into Rust.

I thought Rust already had several different methods for interacting with C++?

Oh? Would you mind sharing them? It would be absolutely fantastic if such a thing existed and is mature enough to be practically used.

Personally, I have little interest in learning or dealing with C++ solely for the sake of developing KDE applications. I would much rather use Rust.

Imo, restricting the languages that can be used for app development cuts out large swaths of developers who would otherwise be eager to develop software for the project. I’m sure there are some who wouldn’t mind picking up C++ for this cause, but I’d wager that they are a minority. Gnome beats out KDE in that regard, imo, as GTK has bindings and documentation for many languages.

That’ll definitely come in handy. Thanks!

without having to reboot to run the installer?

I’m not sure that I understand what you mean. Are you saying that you want to be able to load the OS without having to reboot your computer? Or are you saying that you just don’t want to have to click the equivalent of “try the OS” when booting a live USB? If it’s the latter, you should be able to just select the flash drive as the install point (though, tbc, I have never tried this, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work) (I think you’d need 2 USBs, though — you’d need 1 to be the installer source, and one to be the install point — I don’t think theres any installer that can run as a desktop application. Though, if it’s Arch Linux, you might actually be able to call pacstrap from the host OS — I’ve never tried this after having already installed the OS). There’s even OS’s that are specifically designed to be ephemeral on hardware in this way — eg Tails OS.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for doing this!! Would you mind telling me your process for extracting the data from the graph? Did you tediously manually extract eye-balled data-points? Or, did you run it through some software which extracted them? Or, perhaps, did you just find and use the original data source?
