Meta - About !tech Moderation (pawb.social)

Hi,

My name is Soatok and I'm a silly sod who didn't realize creating a community would automatically make the the moderator of said community, so I've been asleep at the wheel this whole time due to personal reasons.

Anyway, I'm going to correct this oversight immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds like a great way to get extra memory for your GPU without needing to buy a whole new one!

More than likely. Our issues seem to stem more from GPU power and memory at this point.

Online liability protections [for social media companies] have outlived usefulness, top lawmakers say (thehill.com)

Hmmm... Making social media companies liable for what users post. I'm all for making them take a more active involvement in what's going on but that would open up anyone hosting stuff to a world of liability...

Archie has been resurrected (archie.serialport.org)

Some people have apparently not only gone through the trouble of digging out the latest available version of Archie (old FTP indexer / search engine from the mid 80's / 90's before Google was a thing), but they even set up a fresh install and made a web interface available. Even better: The entire source code apparently also still exists.

Canonical: up to 12 years of support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - gHacks Tech News (www.ghacks.net)
submitted 4 months ago by stefenauris@pawb.social to c/tech@pawb.social

Core support for Ubuntu won't change according to Shuttleworth. Ubuntu LTS versions continue to be supported for 5 years and non-LTS releases for 9 months. Ubuntu 23.04 is the current release version, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS the current long-term support release.

Ubuntu Pro subscribers may extend support of LTS versions by an additional 7 years going forward. Ubuntu Pro is available for Home users and Enterprise / business customers. The subscription is free at the time of writing for Home users and starts at $25 per year and machine for Enterprise customers. Server subscriptions start at $500 per month.

I find this very exciting though as it matches Redhat's support length and should allow you to basically install 1 supported OS for the lifetime of a machine

Is self-hosted enough to avoid push notifications going through Apple and Google servers?
