  • A lot of the responses are offering an all or none response. The issue isn’t OP wants to block all memes posts, they just don’t want to see them as often.

    This is an algorithm/fedi issue I suspect. It would require curation.

    Since fedi isn’t really about that, the only option is to downvote.

    Downvote shitty memes.



  • I manage storage systems as part of my day job. i think you would be happy with a simple direct attached storage device. You’d need a storage controller card and a storage controller. These are usually enterprise-grade items so they might be expensive. I suspect there are SATA options but SATA is pretty slow.

    QNAP and Synology are decent for what they offer, if you like the idea if turning it on, setting up an account, and then having access to both native and an easy 3rd-party store with no fiddling needed then they are a good idea. You can also setup an iSCSI connection for direct-attached storage over the network.




  • I’m not saying what they are doing/did is best. I think it’s been mishandled for decades. I’m just saying this is how the government “thinks” and why cost overruns and corruption is often lower on the priority list.

    I’d rather the service providers be threatened with local government ownership if they mishandle the deal.

    In fact I think last-mile delivery should be provided by the local government and be subsidized by taxes to some extent. Residents should have the option to use public funded internet with baseline bandwidth targets, have the ability to choose a different ISP that’s managed at a local colo going over the public wires, or choose a last mile isp using their own private wired or wireless infrastructure.















  • A “legacy” game, where your contributions to the game continue even if you’re logged off, meted with an mmorpg

    It could be anything, but my idea is something like cities:skylines. Interconnected cities or areas each with a mayor or admins that direct the goals of the area…

    Then the 2nd aspect of the game is more like GTA, where people interact with the areas.

    The areas could be like San Andreas, but then you could walk to the edge and it becomes more like a village from Warcraft. Or maybe an area is filled with ghosts and most of the goals in the area are delivering packages. Or maybe there’s an area like Sanctum 2, fallout, or any other idea. It would be up to the admins/mayors to figure out how to design it.

    The game would fill in gaps in city creation for random encounters, etc. the in-game players actions would have some effect on the area itself.

    I would expect the game to support itself through a combination of ads and subs. Companies could pay to have more control over what advertising exists in their area.
