  • Yes this and also scrubs and smart tests. I have 6 14TB spinning drives and a long smart test takes roughly a week, so running 2 at a time takes close to a month to do all 6 and then it all starts over again, so for half to 75% of the time, 2 of my drives are doing smart tests. Then there's scrubs which I do monthly. I would consider larger drives if it didn't mean that my smart/scrub schedule would take more than a month. Rebuilds aren't too bad, and I have double redundancy for extra peace of mind but I also wouldn't want that taking much longer either

  • I've been pretty happy with rsync.net, with the promo rate I'm on I get 1.6TB for $10/mo. More than enough for backing up my most important files, private keys, camera roll, anything irreplaceable.

    The rest of my NAS is 50TB of movies and shows so I've just resigned myself to the fact that it will never be affordable to backup more than my user folder.

  • It's worth noting that Discord misuses the term "server" to mean a community. When you create a Discord "server", they aren't booting up a machine just for you. So the lack of servers in this project has nothing to do with the ability to create groups of channels with shared moderators that represents a community.

  • 3 is my preferred method for a couple reasons:

    Splitting the crossing way into 3 parts let's you mark the node at the kerb as kerb=*

    To me it makes most sense to mark the stubs on either end of a crossing as matching the sidewalk or footpath itself as long as that stub isn't significant enough to be it's own path with unique properties.

  • Gotcha, yeah unfortunately FDM ceramic still has crazy high spool costs so I don't think it really puts it into the same ballpark as using simpler materials. We're talking like $500 a spool, just one printed piece like you see in the picture looks like it would take an entire spool or more and could be the better part of $1K. I'm comparing to Mossy Earth's strategy of binding together metal rods and coating with sand, which after labor lands at $26 per structure.

  • That was my first thought too but apparently it's ceramic 3D printing (the only ceramic printers I've seen are like $MM). I wonder how that can possibly scale to be as cheap as what mossy earth is doing by epoxying sand onto a metal frame and metal twist tying coral fragments onto it.

  • So if I post a meme to c/tenforward, people on mastodon and pixelfed can see it if they subscribe to @tenforward, is that correct?

    Yep! I'm not sure how it works for pixelfed but I think I remember something about text posts so I would assume it works the same there.

    Afaik the way to tell if a user is on Mastodon vs Lemmy/mbin/etc is if the instance part of their username is a path instead of a bare domain, it's something like [email protected]/users or something that includes "user" in the path, I can't remember exactly and I can't find an example but if you look at usernames enough you'll find one.

    Edit: Actually maybe that changed because I found a comment from Mastodon and it looks normal just with a domain that you can see is a mastodon instance when you visit it, so idk ¯(ツ)_/¯

    Edit 2: I double checked in the sync app and it looks like users from mastodon show up as [email protected]/users/someone so it looks like it's a UI specific thing

  • It all just depends on whether it makes sense or not, and also whether the developers of each software coordinated to make it translate.

    Like you point out, text posts don't exist on a video platform (at least if you're not counting youtube community posts), so peertube devs didn't write any code to receive or display them.

    How you get stuff to show up also depends on the platform, but I believe most will do it if you search the account handle of the account on the other service - so you can follow a peertube account from mastodon by searching @[email protected] and then it starts showing newly posted videos in your feed.

    Since all the translations are decided by the devs of each software, some of it is a little funky - like IIRC lemmy communities are displayed in Mastodon as an account that you can follow, and each post to the community is a post on that account (or maybe it's boosted by that account, I can't remember), so if you follow the "community account" from Mastodon, you will start seeing new posts in your Mastodon feed, and can reply to the comments by replying to the post. You can also post to the community from Mastodon by mentioning the community at the beginning of a Mastodon post, and I think it will boost it.

    It's kinda weird IMO - I get the feeling a lot of posts from Mastodon in Lemmy communities might be made by accident because it often looks like the Mastodon user was just trying to tag an organization (like tagging @Plex or @Netflix to complain about their software or something) and then saw the account suggestion from Lemmy and didn't realize they would be posting to a community instead of tagging an individual.
