Fair enough :)
I was wondering if you were trying to run Lemmy on some place you are totally not supposed to run it on. Like a nintendo64 or a samsung smart fridge lol.

Glad you were able to fix it!

Sorry, despite both being an admin and having recently migrated my pict-rs to an object storage, I don’t have a solution for your issue.

I’m just here to ask a question out of sheer curiosity: why install from scratch? To me it sounds like asking for trouble and shooting yourself in the foot. Is Docker not suitable for your setup?

Oof. Yeah maybe. I did play Skyrim on release, on a bloody PS3 no less. Pure pain.

Hopefully it doesn’t take them that long.

It might be, although I’ve read of some freezes happening even on the fastest SSD in the world so… idk, I think they might have fucked up somewhere. I also suspect there might be some memory leaks, although this comes solely from my experience, I have no data to show.

Tom’s Hardware article on the freezes

Yes, all very cool, but when are they going to fix the actual issues? Like, I don’t know, the constant freezes?

I’m loving this game so far, I’m playing it every night, but it feels like a constant test of my patience.

You do it if you want to, it’s a game :)

You can make decent money off it, but first and foremost it should be something you enjoy. Personally I think that’s a very chill way of breaking the monotony, after having spent too much time flying around or walking through cities to complete quests. Exploring planets has got the nice plus of not having to deal with loading screens, unless you want to get back to your ship and move to a different biome.

Interesting. That would be a nice extension, I think most small admins are using the filesystem (I know I am lol).

No. Unfortunately it only works with storages on object storages like S3 buckets, not with filesystem storages. Meaning it access the files remotely one at a time from the bucket, downloading them over the internet (I assume, I didn’t make this).

But the more important thing is that, as it states in the readme, no files get saved to your disk, they only stay in your RAM while they are being processed and everything is deleted right after. This is relevant because even having had CSAM on your disk at some point can put you in trouble in some countries, with this tool it never happens.

Which btw is the same reason why mounting the pict-rs folder to your local computer is probably not a good idea.

Yeah I know. It’s supposed to be ran from your computer, not the VPS.

Same, it’s the reason why I can’t stand working with python.

Thank you for doing this, btw. Once you have something working on your hands you could consider spreading the word, maybe to db0 himself. I sure would love a convenient way to run that script, and many other admins probably would too.

I see. I considered the dependency problem but only thought of using a venv to fix that, however you are right, the python version is also often the cause of compatibility issues.

Sorry I haven’t ran this myself yet nor have any experience with that kind of issues. But may I ask why you were concerned with running it inside of a container? Seems rather unnecessary to me.

That is also very true. I think better tooling for that might come with the next pict-rs version, which will move the storage to a database (right now it’s in an internal ky-value storage). Hopefully that will make it easier to identify orphaned images.

I’m an instance administrator, what the fuck do I do?

There’s one more option. The awesome @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com has made this tool to detect and automatically remove CSAM content from a pict-rs object storage.

Smartphone: I’ve just said goodbye to my Honor phone after 5/6 years of service (can’t remember how many precisely). Incredible lifespan for its price.

However repairability could be great. I’ve changed its battery once and screen a couple times, by the end of it the frame was about to break from all the times I had opened it.

I know it shifted from a subscription model to a paid DLC one. Do you actually need to buy some DLCs to get an enjoyable experience out of this? Do you only need the endgame stuff once you get there, like buying the latest WoW expansion? How does this model actually work for chill players?
