Can someone explain this meme? What’s going on with excel?

A blog entry on how it works and what it does at a high level could be nice. I’m not sure what I’m looking at, but there must be some API call to Lemmy and it’s probably happening on the server due to CORS; not sure how this would work just in the browser if the Lemmy instance has CORS setup…

Edit: OK the instance 0d.gs does in fact not have CORS 😮 That’s a little concerning…

Hold up, neither does programming.dev? Uh… @[email protected] and @[email protected] is that safe? I’m not a security expert but doesn’t this allow for cross site attacks?

It’s not the size of the PR that counts!

the idea boils down to either outside instances aggregating votes made on their side and sending final voting result on a scale -1/0/1 or alternatively this aggregation could be done by the hosting community

Could you provide an example calculation? I’m not getting it. Do you want to map values from one range to another e.g [-1000,1000] to [-1,1]? Will each instance have its own mapping?

Also, computationally, I’m not sure how this is going to work iteratively. From what I understand, activitypub sends events either singular or batched to other servers e.g User X votes up, that’s an event sent, User Y votes down, that’s another event sent. If I’m not mistaken, lemmy doesn’t store the events it receives so reconstituting a vote tally isn’t possible.

I kinda get where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure it’s the right solution.

How does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.

The joke is that there are some people who truly believe chatgpt is a better programmer than humans. It isn’t that programming.dev is chock full of beginners who seriously believe the same.

I’ve been in the industry a while too and in multiple countries in Europe. Before COVID there were even some visits to tech conferences. Only once did I meet a trans person (or so I think, they never corrected anybody on the pronouns).

This seems to be an internet thing, or at least the loud minority thing, but maybe I’m also just a recluse 🤷

Nobody’s really serious on a meme sub. Maybe check your humour meter. It must be broken.

I don’t know of a tutorial, but most tools have to have support for I2P built in, otherwise they won’t work. A good torrent client that does is qBittorrent.

Browsing I2Ps network with HTTP happens over a SOCKS5 proxy, so if aria supports that, you can use it too. https://geti2p.net/ should have more information.

I wish more pirates used I2P. But it seems like many cannot deal with waiting a day for their download to finish.

Companies are already resisting because they can’t figure out a good way to interview people. “We tried nothing and are all out of ideas”. Hopefully more companies like Fuck Leetcode pop up to force a change in interview techniques.

MuWire? I thought that was dead. The main dev blew a gasket over something and archived it. I see it’s out of archival now, but I do wonder what brought him back.

I didn’t expect eMule and Gnutella to still be active, but probably didn’t know because I’m on Linux and their clients are Windows only. Others have pointed out linux builds that I somehow hadn’t found until now.

Anti Commercial-AI license

They aren’t being actively developed are they? And do they are windows only too, last time I checked.

Good luck! I hope it all works out for ya 🙂

I wouldn’t make such a prediction as there are many possibilities and people like hanging onto things. One possible outcome could be the introduction of UBI, which could allow people only pursue the jobs or activities the want. That could be upskilling to become a research, becoming a race car driver, or a streamer, starting a company using AI, traveling the world, helping out the elderly, and so much more. There would still be production and consumption with popular products making some companies richer than others, but it could lead to a happier populace within a capitalistic system.

Of course there are dystopian scenarios like cleansing of the unemployed, remigration of the homeless, forced labor, and so much more that could keep the capitalistic system alive.

You can use transmission just for creating the torrent. You don’t have to use the actual client. If qbittorrent is your client, it’s possible to add the torrents to the list at the same time with

for folder in * ; do
  transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
  qbittorrent --save-path="$folder" "$folder.torrent"
done

Then you create the torrent and start seeding it immediately. If you’ve already created the torrent files

for torrentFile in **/*.torrent ; do
  folderName="$(basename -s .torrent "$torrentFile")"
  folderParent="$(dirname "$torrentFile")"
  folderPath="$folderName/$folderParent"
  qbittorent --save-path="$folderPath" "$torrentFile"
done

Depending on the setup, you could also just sym link the folder into qbittorrent’s download directory and copy your torrents into a folder that qbittorrent listens to. There are many ways to skin the cat. Check out the command line parameters for your torrent client.

Anti Commercial-AI license

Alright, but what is your point?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Hmm, creating torrents isn’t that hard.

for folder in * ; do
  transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
done

You can add a tracker by adding the --tracker "$trackerUrl" option. There isn’t much more scripting involved, AFAIK, unless you want to upload them to the tracker too. But if you join the DHT and share the magnet links somewhere, you should be done. Or is there more to the process I’m missing?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Hmmm, is your goal to share each season folder separately? Is that why you would need scripting?

Or are you looking to share everything at once without worrying about creating individual torrents? If this is what you’re looking for, then maybe Retroshare is what you’re looking for? I don’t know if stuff using eDonkey, Gnutella, or Kademlia are still around, but retroshare has file-sharing similar to those where you point the client at a folder and it just shares the entire thing.

IPFS would’ve been great for this, but they honestly screwed the pooch on that (it hogs resources, doesn’t have good clients, and doesn’t have a bridge to torrents or other networks i.e you can’t go “oh, I have a torrent file, let me see if the files for this are on IPFS and download them from there”).
