  • This is sso support as the client. So you could use any backend that supports the oauth backend (I assume, didn’t look at it yet).

    So you could use a forgejo instance, immediately making your git hosting instance a social platform, if you wanted.
    Or use something as self hostable like hydra.

    Or you can use the social platforms that already exist such as Google or Microsoft. Allowing faster onboarding to joining the fediverse. While allowing the issues that come with user creation to be passed onto a bigger player who already does verification. All of these features are up for your instance to decide on.
    The best part, if you don’t agree with what your instance decides on, you can migrate to one that has a policy that coincides with your values.

    Hope that gives you an idea behind why this feature is warranted.












  • Bah! I totally forgot that they have the new “efficiency” cores…

    Performance Cores: 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 2.5 GHz Base, 4.8 GHz Turbo
    Efficient Cores: 8 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.8 GHz Base, 3.5 GHz Turbo

    Hmmm, I’d still say its totally worth it because the 12500 only has 6 core (12 threads) total. You are getting 8 extra core/threads.

    Linux/docker/anyOS will make use of 8 extra cores regardless of the workload. Sure they might not be as performent on the lower end but a process running 12 threads vs a process running 20 threads will always be more performant.


  • I’m always look at ongoing costs rather than upfront and mostly thats the TDP, which is exactly the same. So I would agree with your sentiment. The major cost is performing it.

    Single thread has a small increase 5% or so, but you have double the amount of threads. So your two dozen (24) docker containers could have a thread per container! Thid could benefit you a lot if you were running anywhere near 100% or have long running multithread jobs.

    If I had the disposable money and I thought I could sell the 12th gen CPU then maybe. But i’m still rocking some old E3-12xx v3 Xeons which probably costs me more per year than what you will pay to upgrade!






  • It’s a sad day when something like this happens. Unfortunately with how the Lemmy’s All works it’s possible a huge amount of the initial downvotes are regular people not wanting to see the content, as downvotes are federated. This constituted as part of my original choices for disabling it when I started my instance. We had the gripes people are displaying here and it probably constituted to a lack in Reddthat’s growth potential.

    There needs to be work done not only for flairs, which I like the idea of, but for a curated All/Frontpage (per-instance). Too many times I see people unable to find communities or new content that piques their interest. Having to “wade through” All-New to find content might attribute to the current detriment as instead of a general niche they might want to enjoy they are bombarded with things they dislike.

    Tough problem to solve in a federated space. Hell… can’t even get every instance to update to 0.18.5 so federated moderation actions happen. If we can’t all decide on a common Lemmy instance version, I doubt we can ask our users to be subjected to not using the tools at their disposal. (up/down/report).

    Keep on Keeping on!
