I should docker a Mastodon instance behind my reverse proxy asap!
I think you a word.
They are laughing at you, not with you.
All my life.
Most self hosting isn’t even needed but it sure as hell is satisfying
Is anything we do even needed?
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 4 acronyms.

Accurate. We care about privacy and quality. A rare breed.
I was on Lemmy for a month before I realized this was a community about hosting servers, and not the Lemmy equivalent of a self.post from Reddit. 🤦♂️
Meh, it’s a hobby. Lots of people talk about their hobbies.
Still a funny comic, though.
Maybe let’s not suggest that all self-hosting is just container-bros and related struggles?
Wow, gate keeping self hosting. I guess there’s one in every community.
…… am i a container bro?

So true
I’ve been self-hosting Mastodon for a while and mostly using it to share bird photography, but also to provide comments on a static site. Since Mastodon and Lemmy both speak ActivityPub, those get crossposted to /c/flashlight so Lemmy comments are also included on my site. Federation is cool.
I don’t follow many accounts that post Fediverse meta stuff on Mastodon. While I have some interest in the best examples of that content, the only way to attract a broader community is to promote accounts and content appealing to the interests of that broader audience.
Wow, that comments section is really nice! How did you implement it? Does the site also use ActivityPub and subscribe to the thread?
It uses the Mastodon API in a client-side script adapted from this one.
Mmmmmmmm Emisar… I picked up the DT8 recently and it’s absolutely hilarious. I love it so much.
XKCD is amazing.
Do you remember what the original was?
A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/
This is original work. The source is in the post.
For a generous definition of “original”.
Edit: very generous, since it’s just new text on the second panel in https://xkcd.com/1269/

I think it’s https://xkcd.com/1425/

Funny, now it’s easy to check for birds.
If by “easy” you mean someone else already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it, which you get to use. And if you accept that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.
We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.
Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.
I’m waiting for the day Google Recaptcha will ask me “is that traffic light red?” and after a couple of seconds “hurry up, I’m approaching the intersection!”
But if my tesla cant go how will hit those last few pedestrian
You’re right, but you could say the same about the National Park GIS lookup.
also fooled by drawings and if it’s shit enough the model will be fooled by text saying “bird”
Randall Monroe has provided me with weekly nibbles of entertainment for nearly 2 decades. But this was inspired by his style, not created by him.
I realize that now. Well done!
I also did not create this.
In that case. It’s terrible! I hate it!
It’s perfectly adequate, i tolerate it.
Next you’re gonna tell us you don’t even selfhost
🤫
What is this I don’t even
You made this? I made this.
Yup
