  • Yes, that is my proposal. Many people complain saying there are better ways to host instances but no one is willing to practice what they preach and actually do it. If you want to see change in the fediverse then you should step up and do it.

    New users have a choice when joining, you should make a new instance and convince the new users why they should join. I would support a toggle on join-lemmy which lets them see what servers are geographically close, but that would be irrelevant before you set up an instance to pave the way.

    If you “can’t be bothered” then obviously you aren’t as passionate about it as you claim to be.







  • Thank you. I heard from ex coworkers that he felt like the outage made him look bad in front of his new boss, so firing me was a political move for him. He then had to have several meetings with people saying that “(scrubbles) didn’t get fired for one outage”, which everyone knew was bullshit. Apparently morale plummeted. So there’s a silver lining. He torpedoed all trust he had with his team.



  • I was fired recently. My manager put a Friday meeting on for 30 minutes, right after a big project went wrong. I pinged him and asked him for an agenda in pure panic, and he didn’t respond, instead saying in our team channel that it was review time and that no one should panic, everyone is getting meetings for reviews

    Phew I thought, yeah I fucked up, I’ll get probably a lower review but I’ll prove myself after that and work back from it.

    Nope.

    He was late joining, HR was there and thought for a second it must be because of the reviews, something special. Then the fucker fired me. Asshole. He fucked up the meeting, sent me on a wave of emotions that week, and then still fired me.

    I caused a 2 hour prod outage btw. That was the fuckup. I had only been there 5 months, told them I didn’t feel comfortable doing it alone, they told me to work through the weekend to do it and I did, worked a 16 hour day to make it all stable and happy. They made me give a postmortem and all of my colleagues said it was a rite of passage and that it was no big deal, just to learn from it. Then he fired me.


  • Uh, no. You want to be mad at something like that look into how they’re training models without a care for bias (or adding in their own biases).

    Hallucination is a completely different thing that is mathematically proven to happen regardless of who or what made it. Even if the model only knows about fluffy puppies and kitties it will still always hallucinate to some extent, just in that case it will be hallucinating fluffy puppies and kitties. It’s just random data at the end.

    That isn’t some conspiracy. Now if you expected a model that’s fluffy kitties and puppies and you’re mad because it starts spewing out hate speech - that’s not hallucination. That’s the training data.

    If you’re going to rage about something like that, you might as well rage about the correct thing.

    I’m getting real tired here of the “AI is the boogieman”. AI isn’t bad. We’ve had AI and Models for over 20 years now. They can be really helpful. The bias that is baked into them and how they’re implemented and trained has always been and will continue to be the problem.

    I think it was meant to say “We’re on a meme page and this whole conversation is more virtue-signaling”. Because, seriously it’s a meme and we’re on a meme community. Yes we know everything you’re saying, we’ve all heard it. This is a weird place to make a stand for it, especially when you know nothing about these specific people. You’re putting just as many assumptions on them as we are.

    I’m kind of over the whole thing on Lemmy where every single post needs to have someone shaming everyone else over having a small chuckle. Yeah, the world is shite. We all know it is. That’s why I was hoping to escape for a second.






  • Yeah Proxmox leaves a lot to be desired in terms of metrics. However, metrics are supported out of the box. Bad news, you probably won’t get what you want within proxmox. Good news, you have another project you get to undertake! Hooray!

    Like I said, Proxmox supports metrics out of the box. If you go Cluster -> Metric Server you’ll be able to see that you can add a metric server. The first iteration I did with proxmox I added an InfluxDB container which then proxmox can talk to (yes they can be on the same host), and then proxmox will start pumping metrics into InfluxDB. (It uses Telegraf under the hood). Then, you can also run Grafana, add your InfluxDB as a data source, and then you have a sweet metrics dashboard. There are a lot of pre-built dashboards already made that look great, and you can customize from there.

    You can also use Graphite, I personally haven’t used it, but I also dropped Influx over time too. These things evolve in that sort of way. That’s how I’d get set up and started though.
