I’m not surprised it’s moving this direction, but I am surprised it’s moving this direction now.

Hardware is extremely difficult to find right now and token prices are falling off a cliff in terms of price per intelligence. About 6 months ago I was talking about how it’s only going to get cheaper from here and still seems to hold up today, we really don’t need anything better than Opus 5.5 and compute is only going to keep increasing (price decreasing) who knows what the field will look like next year.

Either way I’m happy to live in a world pushing towards that, just surprised.

Hey 👋, I’m the dev! The goal is not to be read only! In fact our comments are already federating (this one).

The community federation just needs a bit more work across both the bridge and wrapping up some configuration work, but frankly our user count is <10 right now. There’s not really much native activity, it’s mostly some bot accounts I have set up, so you’re not missing much atm

I’m the dev here if anyone has any questions, I was waiting till it was in a more finalized state to announce it. Also full transparency since this community is a little more sensitive on it, this project has been agentically built over the course of the last 1-2 years, but I am a SWE in my day job.

I’m sure most people here would be more curious about the ActivityPub -> atproto bridge, I call this Tidepool code is here: https://tangled.org/bretton.dev/tidepool

I’m planning full Lemmy / Piefed / Pylova federation, the goal is not only to be read only here! Ex my comment is from Coves! Communities themselves aren’t being federated yet though.

OP I’d love to know what was spamming you, I can help tackle that we don’t have many users and signups are disabled, but I do have some automated bot posts running but those shouldn’t be federating yet.

UPDATE - Spammer banned on my side 🫡

Not sure if you have tried the For You algorithm on bluesky but it’s really good

They have a free tier with 100 searches! It doesn’t sound like a lot but I usually don’t cross it.

I was also impacted, you need to remove the payload that got dumped:

Payload: /tmp/.pxb/{curl,wget}, /tmp/.spid

Two processes named khungtaskd / cron

They also stole your admin token so go to the Plex UI and log out of all devices for whichever account has ownership of the instance.

Then you can reclaim ownership and it resets the admin token.

You should likely be fine, I didn’t have any crypto miners on mine, it was just in a docker instance and didn’t have access outside of it. I would be much more worried if it was a direct install on a main PC.

Also install watch tower

I mean I love Mbin but it’s kindve the odd child out here. We should really have a section for Threadiverse and for Microblog

FWIW I’ve had multiple DigitalOcean VMs die seemingly out of nowhere.

Never had a problem with OVH nor Hetzner.

It’s interesting I have the exact opposite perspective with AI in regards to selfhosting.

The customizability is now endless for me, I can do anything, customize anything, problems that are typically 1-2 hours are fixed in <5 minutes.
