Ohje, erinnere mich noch an die Gentoo Stage1 Installation um 2009 oder 2010 ... nach 'nem Jahr oder so war die Overlay-Konfiguration in Portage so kaputt das es wesentlich schneller war, Ubuntu drüberzuinstallieren 😅 ... glaube das habe ich insg. 2x gemacht ... wobei, jetzt wo die Prozessoren schneller sind und das Kompilieren schneller geht, vielleicht wäre es mal wieder 'nen Versuch wert ...

I doesn't "need" to be imported, the question is just, where do we see the future of federated (non-)platforms ? Do we want them to be "small and cozy" with a small and fairly narrow selection of content or do we want a non-corporate alternative that can compete in richness and variety of interesting content of all niches?

A lot of folks only seem to see the crappy part of youtube and other platforms, and don't see the richness of content that exists ther. There's still so much interesting stuff to be found. I don't think there has ever been a bigger archive of, say, documentation about arts, crafts, history, food, than YT, even it its current enshittified form. If that's an ocean of content, the Fediverse isn't even a major river (at least that's my impression).

If you don't mind that, great. But I do, I'd love a non-corporate version to exist that can compete in terms of richness of content.

And monetary incentive is part of the puzzle, as it incentivizes people to spend time on it, which in terms generates a bigger audience, which in turn has a higher potential to support a wider range of content niches. Plain and simple.

I don't agree, really ... that'd limit the Fediverse to hobbyists.

It's completely legitimate to look for income & exposure as a creator, whether you're making music, visual art, or document your process making physical objects. Corporate platforms, as crappy as they might be, provide a path to that, and in many ways created viable path for creators to do what they like full-time. Not saying that it's perfect or easy. But the Fediverse is currently no alternative at all ...

Currently, restricting yourself to the Fediverse as an artist unfortunately means that you're taking quite a hit in terms of exposure you can get. As long as that's the case, and people even defend it, then we really can't complain that the Fediverse isn't attractive for a larger amount of people, and centralized platforms will always have the bigger draw.

I try to avoid corporate platforms as much as I can, but as a consumer I often feel starved of content. I haven't found any interesting woodworking channels on PeerTube, or guitar repair channels, or whatever else I enjoy watching to wind down.

And as a creator, well ... it's not my source of income, but I sure would like it to be. And if I ever decide to make that step, I'm pretty sure that I's have to make amends to my "no corporate platforms" approach. The Fediverse doesn't feed you.

Klar, da ist's noch beengter ... da wäre Gepäck einchecken an sich gar nicht so verkehrt, gerade für Menschen mit eingeschränkter Körperkraft ... die letzten Male, die meine Mutter mit der Bahn verreist ist (normaler Tages-Zug), hat sie das Gepäck meistens aufgegeben.

Hab bisher nur einmal eine Nachtzugreise unternommen, und fand' das zwar spannend aber nicht unbedingt alltagstauglich.

Das Mini-Kabinen-Konzept klingt da echt vielversprechender.

Wichtig fänd' ich auch gutes Gepäck-handling, z.B. mit 'nem bewachten Gepäckabteil ... den dicken Koffer in der engen 2er-Kabine zwei Etagen in's Gepäckfach zu hieven, war schon ein ganz schöner Akt ...

Man sollte nur nicht den Fehler machen, im Arch Forum Fragen zu anderen Arch-basierten Distros zu stellen ... hab' ich gehört ... aber ja, das Wiki ist schon sehr gut ...

Same situation, more or less ... but I honestly don't remember anyone meeting their grim fate the way you described ... you'd see people with a cast here and there (I got mine in gym class, of all locations), but I think all kids in my extended social groups made it to adulthood without major, life-altering physical damage ...

Naja geht halt um Prototypen und theoretische Vergleiche, klingt jetzt nicht so als ob die da Millionen verbrennen ... gibt bisher drei Publikationen: https://klim-qml.de/

Hab die zwar nur überflogen, aber eigentlich ein recht spannendes Projekt wie es scheint ...

[–] megrania@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Danke für den Überblick :)

Also wenn man sich über generative KI shareholder Quatsch beschwert, verstehe ich das sehr gut, das hier verstehe ich nicht.

Ja, wird leider alles in einen Topf geworfen im Moment ...

Hmm in der Beschreibung steht "lernen von Parametrisierungen" ... klingt eher so als ob sie bestimmte Parameterkonfigurationen eines Klimamodells mit Hilfe von ML suchen, nicht, dass das Modell selber auf ML basiert.

Was den QML-Teil geht, kann ich da mangels Expertise nichts sagen.

Aber an sich stelle ich mir das so vor (reine Hypothese), das z.B. die (noch unbekannten) Parameter des Modells für ein bestimmtes Wetterphänomen gesucht werden, um dann damit weiterzuforschen? Klingt erstmal nach 'nem recht legitimen Anwendungsfall für ML ...

Da zeigt sich ein Generationen-Unterschied, ich hab' noch mit vereinfachter Ausgangsschreibschrift angefangen, und bin dann nach und nach zu einer Mischform übergegangen ... lesbar war das nie, musste manchmal Schreibproben abliefern, damit das Lehrpersonal überhaupt entscheiden konnte, ob etwas ein Fehler war oder nicht.

Heute, da ich 99% der Zeit tippe, merke ich, wie langsam ich mit der Hand schreibe ... ist echt anstrengend geworden.

I gladly accept the fossil label, but there's no contrarian sentiment behind it ... I just never felt any pain staying with X11.

Also, the window manager I use is developed by a friend who lives 10min away and texts me every time he has an update, and I love it ... doesn't work on Wayland, though ...

A while ago joined Pixelfed, and some things really confuse me ...

1.) Licenses ... on my older posts, the Image shows a content license (like, CC BY-NC-SA), but not on newer ones ... there doesn't seem to be a way to specify a license, or is there?

2.) Followers ... some friends joined on other instances, and we followed each other ... when I click their profile from MY instance, then I see only myself (seems like they don't have any other followers on that instance).

If I visit their profile on THEIR instance, I can see they have more followers, but I can't see the details without logging in (and the account from my instance doesn't work).

Is that by design?

I can't even see their profile picture from my instance ... my posts seem to show up in their feed though ...

3.) I'm using the official app, but I can only see my most recent posts ... I made a few posts about a year ago and they don't show up ...

Can someone enlighten me here?

 

Hi,

I recently bought a few pre-made amplifier modules for an 8-channel amplifier project (for a sound installation).

The amp is based on the TDA7294 chip and is rated 85W nominal. Now I'm looking for a power supply, but I'm a bit lost (this isn't really my strongest field, to put it mildly).

Do I just need to add up the output power, 8*85W = 680W, or could I get away with using something smaller, like a 300W or 300VA?

Also, the seller said that you need to use CV power supplies, CC won't work and kill the circuit. Does that mean a switching supply can't be used?

It looks like the module has a rectifier and smoothing caps integrated, so I could potentially just use a transformer, right?

Best, N
