Yeah that sucks sorry. I’m mostly a bot. I’ll block instagram so I don’t post this shit again.

I kind of agree, but we do need stories of what that change is so we don’t end up with Ecofascism by accident.

Arguably Walkaway by Cory Doctorow?

Do you know this project? https://www.twistedfields.com/copy-of-research

It’s the most solarpunk of the ag robots I know of.

AFAIK solar panels are currently ~23% efficient. So ~30% is a big deal https://www.cleanenergyreviews.info/blog/most-efficient-solar-panels

You probably are the entire audience for this post!

It’s new to me. This looks interesting: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-15291-7

Yeah, sorry got the scheduler wrong too. Only going to do one a day.

I think I’d be buying used on ebay…

I think unless you invest in servers this week it will look like Lemmy.ml crashing and redditors not considering it a viable option. The proprietary alternatives will do well.

https://e.foundation/e-os/ can just buy these. Essentially LineageOS with some tweaks

Galaxy S9 is something like $100 on eBay and well supported

The idea would be to retain the ability to collect email addresses, beyond the point that the main app can’t keep up. So you’d want something lightweight just for capturing the emails.

I might have misunderstood this, but I think the Kbin developer was considering emulating the Reddit API. So existing Reddit apps could just be plugged into it.

That might work, is there some third party email app that could capture their email and let them know when registrations are open again? I know of some corporate/not privacy respecting ones such as https://kickofflabs.com/campaign-types/waitlist/ but presumably there’s a way to do that with some on-site tools?

There’s some PC fan variants too

I think it’s probably undesirable to end up with big instances. I think the best situation might be one instance that’s designed to scale. This could be lemmy.ml or another one. It can absorb these waves of new users.

However it’s also designed to expire accounts after six months.

After three months it sends users a email explaining it’s time to choose a server, it nags them to do so for a further three months. After that their ability to post is removed. They remain able to migrate their account to a new server.

After 12 months of not logging in the account is purged.

I believe @ernest is just about to do a backend re-factor on https://kbin.social/ if you had the time and inclination a ticket here outlining some optimisations for horizontal scaling might be timely https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

How about https://deflect.ca/ they could still spy but probably less bad?

Out of curiosity how would https://kbin.social/ source: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core stand up to this kind of analysis? Is it better placed to scale?

Nice :) https://opencollective.com/lemmy
