I don’t find it surprising. His base spends a huge amount of time talking about other people’s genitalia; especially school children’s genitalia when they’re trying to use the bathroom.

Someone come get grandpa

Considering I can look up their supposedly infringed work and literally not even find a single legitimate copy to buy, but hundreds of links to download for free… maybe they just have a skill issue.

If it works, it works. Really any old cheap pcie card will work, if you just need video out of any kind the card type need not be specific. Glad you got it to work.

That’s good to know. I’ve had some half baked plans to host a public instance for a while (will probably get to it in winter) and honestly the legal risk has been something that’s really held me back. Knowing I have a way to cover my ass for removing it is great.

Hmm, this is something I haven’t heard about. Can you actually register as an instance hoster with the FBI or equivalent to say “hey I have a service that may be exposed to CSAM, I do not condone this and will report any cases of it that I see”? If so that could reduce a lot of people’s specific legal fears of hosting.

By default a fresh new instance will federate with no other instances period.
Instances only “learn” about the existence of an outside instance or community after a user enters a community+instance address in the search bar. After that, the home instance will sync with the remote instance and begin getting all new push data from that point on.

I don’t know if Lemmy allows “whitelisting” of synced instances, such that it will auto synchronize with a provided list and ignore all others even if users search for them. I feel like it does, but I am not familiar enough with the backend to say yay or nay.

Federation means any content posted to any federated instance gets cached on your side and you become a hoster of it.

This includes if someone posts or creates an instance for child porn and starts spamming it. You’re possibly liable. and then have to deal with reviewing and cleaning it up to cover your ass.

Get a used SFF office PC low profile card off Ebay. They often have chipset wattages around 25 or so and easily run on slot power only

Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/p/1958445856 (idea only, not endorsing this seller).

Anything of a semi modern format with a pcie interface thata not an outright scam card will be fine for VGA no-driver video output. IME older AMD/ATI cards seem to boot better than oder NVidia cards…

That’s what I always do. There are smaller creators that I support via donations or patreon but I never pay directly for the content itself.

you can’t tell me what to do!

It’s their se domain I saw it on, but most of their older domains also display this

Loss of lift is Western propaganda. Greatest Russian planes never crash, they only land unexpectedly!

Ya weight is how I’d do it, it’ll probably be the most accurate. Realistically you don’t need to be accurate at all but with something that doesn’t cut cleanly like a gummy might, just weigh it

I know right? They don’t come cheap from the Rainbow Factory, those ponies drive a hard bargain.

Not with that attitude you can’t!

Yeah it’s legit, it’s been up a hot minute (since May iirc). I clicked the wrong zlibrary bookmark out of reflex and then remembered how hilarious the scare screen was.

More hilarious jokes have never been told in history

Let’s see the lifestyles of the CEOs for Springer, Wiley, and Elsevier for comparison.
