Running a 24GB 4 OCPU Always Free Oracle VM Instance, the catch is that it uses Arm 64bit processors and iv already ran into issues with standing up docker containers from some GitHub repos, due to incompatibility.

I am hoping there is a easyish way to emulate x86 so I can work with what I need to as seamlessly as possible. It’s quite a powerful server for FREE, if I can get the emulation working I don’t really care about the extra overheads.

I frequently travel to London and back. I recently discovered Avanti superfares, I’m too old for any railcards so for me this is godsend to save money on.

Thought I’d share and I’ll cross post to UK Travel community too

And now I have to serve it in dollops, you know what, it’s better like that.

I actually really enjoy this, it’s really cool to login each day and only see UK specific content in a similar style of the subreddits of old, and with most of the features of Reddit. Previously I had to have them with a multi reddit, but my home page was full of world wide content.

I like that due to federation I can still look at content from around the world but it’s not my default experience. Feels more personalised.

Over 100,000 OpenAI ChatGPT account credentials have been compromised and sold on the dark web. Cybercriminals are targeting the valuable information.

I have noticed recent slowness on this instance today, it wasn’t like this previously, the server is under heavy load, which makes sense because right now, we are gaining 100 new users or more each hour.

Please bear with the instance, it’s totally worth sticking around. Lemmy is the future and is going through some growing pains but will equalise over time.

Update: found this post https://lemmy.world/post/305667

The user count may not be genuine users and I feel that Lemmy instances might be under a type of DDOS attack

Early last week it was ~600 registered users, then last Friday ~700-800, 5 hours ago it was ~2.8k and now its 3.1k

Update: It has come to my attention that Lemmy is under a spam user registration attack. Feddit.uk is not the only instance affected.

Side note: Starting to notice some instance server load issues here. Not as snappy as it was due to the influx of new spam users.

Update 20th June: Tom has now enabled captcha and email verification on feddit.uk

Don’t forget to check the sidebar out on the feddit.uk homepage and donate to @[email protected] to assist with server upkeep and hopefully more server resource.

Would help with a project I’m developing. Only need the usernames.

Trying to scare people back in to the office much?

If anyone is interested in helping moderate, please let me know by replying to this post.

I am expecting an influx of users after July 1st. Right now there is not a high amount of content to deal with, so I am winging it.

I need assistance with drawing up rules and governing the community. If you moderated a similar sub on Reddit prior to the exodus please message me.

Snippet from the article:

But some investors argue that the big tech companies’ generative AI models will not necessarily capture most value because they are becoming increasingly commoditised and may be outcompeted by smaller open-source models. More money may be made by companies that have proprietary data in a particular industry and can leverage generative AI models to address specific use cases. “That is our investment strategy,” says Hemant Taneja, chief executive of the VC firm General Catalyst.

But VCs are also anxiously reviewing the valuations of their existing investment portfolios, given the disruptive impact it will have on all software businesses. Over the past few weeks, three start-up founders have told me they have had to junk their original business plans because of the launch this year of OpenAI’s more powerful GPT-4 model, rendering their use of earlier versions obsolete. Such is the speed of the technology’s evolution that start-ups and VCs are wary of betting too much on any one generative AI model for fear it will soon seem archaic.

Lemmy Pro Tip

You can find your default views within your profile settings.

Doing this will give you a more reddit like experience.

Buggy looking behaviour observed, when I view a post on another instance or make a post on another instance then go back to viewing it, in front of my eyes, I can see massive disparities in the amount of upvotes and downvotes. Talking a post showing 600 upvotes then a few seconds later, 5 upvotes, then 40 etc
