Defederated. If they start federating outwards, I’ll lift it

My time limit is about two hours. Anything more than that and I start getting bored, distracted and twitchy

when on voice or the phone?

That’s it. Those are my pet peeves

I don’t know, because my parents were irreligious too. My dad was an atheist, and my mum is agnostic. She has some spiritual beliefs, but has no religious beliefs or belief in deities.

I’m not sure I’d describe this graph as beautiful in any sense :\

Let me guess, you just watched The Diplomat? :)

Image noise. For photography

Neat image is the one I use because it’s the only one that works. It’s not my first choice though

Unfortunately not. It won’t run under wine or the like. Even VMs are painful, because it needs GPU pass through to work, which requires a second dedicated video card

Really good image noise reduction software.

That’s pretty much the only thing I miss, and I don’t miss it enough to suffer through Windows

You went mask off pretty quickly…

But I have to play devil’s advocate

That’s not being a devils advocate, it’s just plain transphobia. As if trans people somehow have the power social power to choose the worlds attention.

You say hate is for religious reasons, and then blame the victims of that hate for the attention they’re getting from their oppressors, the very people you yourself just said are responsible for it.

And honest opinion or not, you chose to spend your energy undermining a trans person talking about our oppression, when you could simply have chosen to not do that. And that shit is creating the very problem you just blamed trans people for

I can’t use a Windows VM for this as I need GPU passthrough for the app I’m trying to run and I can’t do GPU passthrough without a second dedicated video card

So, running linux in a VM under windows is the next plan, but I’ve been running linux for 6 months now, and don’t want to maintain a second brand new install in the VM, but rather, I would like to spin up my existing local linux install in a VM when I’m forced to boot in to windows, and that’s what I’m asking about. I don’t know if that’s possible.

I’ve looked at wine. It doesn’t work for this program, because it fails to install due to needing to download hardware specific models during installation, that can’t be successfully detected and downloaded under wine. On top of that, I then need GPU passthrough to run it even if I do install it.

For the same reason, I haven’t had any luck with VMs, because of the lack of GPU passthrough without a second dedicated GPU

I don’t think I’m quite as effusive about it as you, but it was a good movie and I don’t understand the hate either

Trans people

If I as an instance owner search & subscribe to another instance’s community, I get “federated” with that community. Does that mean my instance is, or my user is?

When a user on your instance subscribes to an external community, the instance that hosts that community gets a notification about the subscription. Then when new content is posted to to that community, the remote instance forwards a single copy of that content to all instances that have subscribers to the community, including your instance.

Then, when your instance receives it, it checks the content to see if it should send anyone a notification, and does so. It then makes the content visible to people and it will start appearing in the appropriate timelines of your local users (ie, in the “subscribed” and/or “all” timelines depending on the user)

If I want users at my instance to see posts from communities on other instances, is there a way for me to pull those posts in to my instance? Or, how do I get my users to see other communities’ content?

As soon as a single account on your instance subscribes to a remote community, you will get future content from that community.

As an admin, assuming you don’t want to subscribe to random groups just to federate them, you can create a dummy account, find common/popular communities using a site like Lemmyverse, and then subscribe with your dummy account.

You can also point your users at https://lemmyverse.net/communities. That site lets them set their home instance, and once they’ve done so, links to any community will point the user to the community on your instance. And if your instance didn’t have it, the act of someone trying to find it will cause your instance to go and fetch the community and recent content posted to it from the remote instance. Though in this case, unless the user then subscribes, you won’t continue to get future content from that community.

When someone on your instance subscribes to a community on another instance for the first time, it grabs a small amount of back history, and the other instance starts federating all new content to your instance as it generates.

There is no way to pull in a complete backlog of all history automatically, because it would be a large resource burden

However, what you can do is find content that you want to interact with on the remote instance, copy the URL and then search for that URL on your server. That will pull that content and its context to your instance.

It’s not normally about power level, but about how far apart the servers are. Because they’re sent serially and have to be acknowledged before they can be processed, it means that world can send out content faster than regionally distant instances can process them because of the geographical latency added to every event

This answer is probably better directed to the OP!
