Ancient Nvidia GPU (GT1030), I tried but I can’t really be bothered to spend another week scouring forums to find kernel options and drivers to hope that the specific combination will stop making the taskbar blink or something

Still bothered it doesn’t have a preview tho

Sorry, your reply fell through the cracks. I connect directly to my personal server through Tailscale, the speeds are listed in the post itself (the test was done by connecting to the server via SSH and running the script directly on it) and they’re accurate to the actual speed as it appears from the qbittorrent webui. I usually connect through my desktop but the speeds on it are still far superior to what connecting to my server through Tailscale returns. However, you did just make me notice my normal upload speed is surprisingly low, which may be the culprit. I’ll run more tests

Blahaj federated lemmynsfw? Interesting

can confirm, searching and following tags does very little

I’ll take a look and see if that’s the case, thanks

none that I’m aware of

What are good ways to check for packet loss?

Natively

I’ll check it out, thanks!

I did expect the connection to not be as fast, was just kind of suspicious since the one I was getting was so incredibly low. My friend was connected on a desktop, through 4G/LTE, they did mention they have a 100Mbit/s down speed limit, which still doesn’t line up. My own server is plugged into street fiber-optic, but I can try testing it with another friend that has a more reliable connection too. If I do that I’ll get back with the results

I’ll be honest, despite already having a reverse proxy on my home setup I did not think of doing something like that. That sounds like a great idea

In what way did it suck?

I guess you’re right, followers will automatically unfollow the old account and follow the new one too

Nothing will be moved.

From what I could find on my own with a couple minutes of research (currently at school) I know there’s at least two independent relays active, the WhiteWind one and the BlackSky one. There’s a blogpost written by the WhiteWind developers about the performance costs of running a Relay, and checking it out again I see they mention the recent update to improve performance at the top of the page now.

I said this before but since learning how they work on a conceptual surface level I’ve liked and felt more optimistic about ATProto than ActivityPub. I think I misspoke in the way I described how I felt about the Fediverse and gave the wrong idea about what I think. But I don’t want to make this reply longer than it has to be.

I’m not going to say either is better than the other, from what I can tell it’s just two different models of decentralization that are radically different, but I like ATProto’s approach more What I am going to say though is that I do wish there were more ATProto based services, and I find it odd how ATProto and Bluesky have not seen the same sprawl of clients and services ActivityPub has, but that may just be a question of age (as iirc AP is much older than ATProto). Bluesky’s got its fair share of Clients but AP honestly puts it to shame, I genuinely wonder why.

I couldn’t do that when I moved Mastodon instances, I could only set up a notice that was little more than a built-in “Moved to x” pinned post

Don’t know about the other ones though, I have to say that

I’d like to hijack the top comment to say that despite news like these, a friend of mine who’s been involved with development (interacted with developers, looked at code…) says that recent updates have made the ATProto service stack much more optimized and accessible. There’s also quite a few “Atmosphere” services already, such as leaflet.pub

And I’m gonna be honest most implementations of ActivityPub I’ve seen so far have felt more like a normal social media with a “talk to other servers!” gimmick

What? You tell me I could have actually moved all my comments, votes, saves and posting history from my old lemmy.world account to my new one?

Personally Matrix has been kind of annoying to set up. I tried it around last year and after a bunch of issues creating an account (email link wasn’t working I think) I used it for a little, then all messages became “could not decrypt” and I gave up on it

Agreed. I could only get on it after it 1. Actually started running the vast majority of video games (Wine and Proton developments mainly post-pandemic) and 2. Had decent performance thanks to Wayland (to this day KDE on X11 using my older GT1030 has embarrassing performance, but I’ve switched to an RX9060 so :3)
