I’m interested in #Linux, #FOSS, data storage/management systems (#btrfs, #gitAnnex), unfucking our society and a bit of gaming.

  • Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to say that fediverse == activitypub in the first place.

    IMHO all services that work in an open federated manner based on open federation standards are part of the Fediverse. Whether that protocol is AP, Matrix, XMPP or, yes, even Email; it’s all open standards where instances openly federate with other instances that implement the same standard.
    Hell, we could even bridge between protocols. Not saying it should but if Lemmy had a mailing list bridge, would you consider someone replying to Lemmy emails from their self-hosted email server as not being part of the fediverse?

    For the same reason I don’t consider AT to be part of the fediverse because it doesn’t operate in a federated manner as control is entirely centralised.




  • I don’t know what this tool is or how it gets its “memory” metric. If you want to continue to use it, please ascertain that these values correspond to RSS by cross checking with i.e. ps aux. RSS is the memory exclusively held by a given process which is typically what mean by the “memory usage” of any given process. Note however that this does not count anonymous pages of a process that are swapped or shared with other processes.

    Going into my task manager (Resources), I can see my using is using roughly 18/32GB of RAM despite closing all apps.

    This does not tell you (or us for that matter) anything without defining what “using” means here. My system is “using” 77% of RAM right now but 45% of memory is available for use because it’s cached.

    Please post the output of free -h aswell as swapon.

    Next, please post the contents of /proc/meminfo.

    Do you use ZFS?









  • The originals remain untouched.

    It is possible to override existing commands with aliases though. This is useful for setting flags by default. I have alias ls='ls --color' for instance such that whenever I run ls, it actually runs ls --color, providing colourful output.

    Note that aliases are only a concept within your command line shell though. Any other program running ls internally won’t have the flag added and wouldn’t be able to use any of the other aliases either (not that it would know about them).

    It’s very easy to program your own “proper” commands though on Linux. If you had some procedure where you execute multiple commands in some order with some arguments that may depend on the outputs of previous commands, you could write all that as a shell script, give it some custom name, put it in your $PATH and run it like any other command.




  • First of all you need to figure out which sensor this even is. On my nct6687, there’s a sensor on the PCIe slot that is constantly >90° and that appears to be totally normal.

    Could you post the output of sensors?

    Here is how it looks like on my machine:

    nct6687-isa-0a20
    Adapter: ISA adapter
    +12V:           12.26 V  (min = +12.14 V, max = +12.46 V)

    DRAM:            1.11 V  (min =  +1.10 V, max =  +1.11 V)
    Chipset:       202.00 mV (min =  +0.18 V, max =  +0.36 V)

    System Fan #1:    0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, max =    0 RPM)
    System Fan #2:  490 RPM  (min =  421 RPM, max =  913 RPM)
    System Fan #3:    0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, max =    0 RPM)
    System Fan #4:  472 RPM  (min =  458 RPM, max =  939 RPM)
    System Fan #5:    0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, max =    0 RPM)
    System Fan #6:    0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, max =    0 RPM)
    CPU:            +37.0°C  (low  = +30.0°C, high = +90.0°C)
    System:         +25.0°C  (low  = +22.0°C, high = +48.0°C)
    VRM MOS:        +22.0°C  (low  = +20.5°C, high = +66.0°C)
    PCH:            +21.5°C  (low  = +18.5°C, high = +49.0°C)

    PCIe x1:        +92.0°C  (low  = +76.5°C, high = +97.0°C)
    M2_1:            +0.0°C  (low  =  +0.0°C, high =  +0.0°C)
    

    Note that I use the https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d/ kernel module though. The upstream one doesn’t label many temps.


  • I wouldn’t go ARM unless you really like tinkering with stuff.

    I bought a used Celeron J4105-based system years ago for <100€ and it’s doing just fine. The N100 is its successor that should be better in every way.

    Don’t be afraid to buy cheap used hardware. Especially things like RAM or cases that don’t really ever break in normal usage.

    Two 4TB HDDs for 120€ each is a rip-off. That’s twice what you pay per GB in high capacity drives. Even in the lower capacity segment you can do much better such as 6TB for 100€.

    If you have proper (tested!) backups and don’t have any specific uptime requirements, you don’t need RAID. I’d recommend getting one 16TB-20TB drive then. That would only cost you as much as those two overpriced 4TB drives.



  • Whatever I put on Lemmy or elsewhere on the fediverse implicitly grants a revocable license to everyone that allows them to view and replicate the verbatim content, by way of how the fediverse works. You may apply all the rights that e.g. fair use grants you of course but it does not grant you the right to perform derivative works; my content must be unaltered.

    When I delete some piece of content, that license is effectively revoked and nobody is allowed to perform the verbatim content any longer. Continuing to do so is a clear copyright violation IMHO but it can be ethically fine in some specific cases (e.g. archival).

    Due to the nature of how the fediverse, you can’t expect it to take effect immediately but it should at some point take effect and I should be able to manually cause it to immediately come into effect by e.g. contacting an instance admin to ask for a removed post of mine to be removed on their instance aswell.


  • In order to put something in the public domain, you need to explicitly do that. Publicising is not the same as putting something in the public domain.

    This comment I’m writing here is not in the public domain and I don’t need to explicitly mention that. It’s “all rights reserved” by default in most western jurisdictions. You’re not allowed to do anything whatsoever with it other than what is covered by explicit exemptions from copyright such as fair use (e.g. you quote parts of my comment to reply to it).

    Encoding my comment into the weights of a statistical model to closer imitate human writing is a derivative work (IMHO) and therefore needs explicit permission from the copyright holder (me) or licensee authorised by said copyright holder to sublicense it in such a way.
