What would an IPFS solution look like here? That’s a genuine question. I don’t have much experience with IPFS. It seems like it isn’t really used outside of blockchain applications.

They grew there
For sure, I’ll add it to the list. :)
The Lemmy server config indicates that is an optional setting to improve user privacy so requests don’t ever hit the original server from the client. Those cached files are only temporary and will be deleted after some time. So it’s not really full blown duplication.
The default setting is to only generate the thumbnails and store those locally (indefinitely?) but even that can be turned off. I checked and it appears that lemmy.world has the thumbnail generation disabled so all images from other instances just link to the original on that instance.
Are the images duplicated when shared? My understanding is that only a link to the file is replicated across servers and duplication comes from users manually uploading the same file to another server.
My website does not do any deduplication at this time.
Yeah, I wish it could be cheaper but I’m not a corporation. Instead I’m dependent on them to make a simpler product.
The target audience is certainly not developers because they can jump through the hoops to setup their own S3 + CDN or similar.
Somebody actually did make this as a joke years ago haha https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs
Thanks for reading and pointing out that typo! (I fixed it)
Jortage is a really interesting approach. It definitely helps reduce the impact of the file hosting problem but it doesn’t fully address the underlying cost issue. The cost of storing files grows every month indefinitely while donations typically don’t.
I would like to see a file hosting pool come to lemmy though. So I will look into it. :)
Thanks for the tip. I might have to try that. It was working mostly fine one day (no VRR) and then it was completely broken the next. :(
VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.
Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.
Err… no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.
It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.
Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!
Those “updates” are pitiful. As far as I understand the vast majority of update content is still being supplied by the community. The game is still flooded by hackers with no word on when that will be addressed if ever.
Is it right to push more gambling based micro transactions in a game that lacks actual support?
If this were any other company people would be raging
If they don’t want to support it that’s fine but they should stop releasing new micro transactions then
Omg starfield??? That game is diarrhea dookie!
Industry standard by massive corporations synonymous with corporate greed. Boy am I glad the fee decreases after $10m in sales. That will go a long way with helping out indie devs.
It’s okay to like Steam because they’ve provided us with a good way of purchasing and playing games. I like Steam but we don’t have defend things that are obviously greedy.
Thank you for pointing that out. I’m not familiar with IPFS but I tend to agree there’s no free lunch here. People think you can wave the blockchain wand and free computing appears but there’s always costs built in somewhere.
