In addition to Piper voices which run locally in a browser and are quite good on their own, they also added Supertonic voices recently, which sound even better, are also running locally/synthesized in-browser and are even faster and lighter.

I'm usually too lazy to read long articles, so this extension is pretty convenient, I can just play and listen to it while I do something else.

Can't speak from experience, but everything I've read about this tracker is that if you could pick only one, this should be it. Get in while you can.

I'm using putty from my win local machine to connect to the server, and so far what I've done is simply selecting text from putty terminal and pasting it into a text editor on my local machine and after editing I just paste it back to nano on the server. I could do that because all the text files I was editing were pretty short, but this config that I want to edit is longer, so I would need to scroll to select all the text from the nano, but that is not possible from the putty (as far as I know), and copying within nano doesnt seem to share the clipboard from server to local machine.

So I'm looking for a better way to do it, but something simple, quick and dirty.

So, I have Crucial MX500 SSD, and on their spec sheet, the SSD Endurance TBW is 180TB

Crystal Disk Info says the health is at 33% Health, despite Total Host Writes being 54039 GB (30% of specified SSD endurance TBW of 180TB)

So is their specified endurance wrong, is the Total Host Writes data in Crystal Disk Info misleading or wrong, or is there more things that go into determining the "health" of an SSD besides Total Bytes Written? Or could it be that I mistreated the SSD causing its health to get worse?

I saw this article, which made me think about it...

Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes world-first laws

Seeing what kind of brainrot kids are watching, makes me think it's a good idea. I wouldn't say all content is bad, but most kids will get hooked on trash content that is intentionally designed to grab their attention.

What would be an effective way to enforce a restriction with the fewest possible side effects? And who should be the one enforcing that restriction in your opinion?

So I've been getting the occasional BSOD and it recently started getting a bit more frequent, so I decided to run a memtest86 over night to check if it's maybe the RAM causing it.
I got 1 error, so then I tested each stick, 1 by 1 (every new stick I would test I also put in a different slot) but I only tested first 3 sticks, thinking that the last one is faulty, since they all passed the test, but yesterday I decided to test the last one as well and that one passed as well. So now I'm confused, not sure what to do...
I was running on 3 sticks for 2 days and I didn't get BSOD, but that still means nothing because it was rare occurrence anyways.

Should I test all of the sticks again? Is there a better test I should be using instead?

(RAM is not OC'd btw)

Edit: After reading your comments, and testing some more, I must say that I've misunderstood how it all works.
I should've thought of Mastodon users like separate Lemmy communities...but not exactly. What confused me is the fact that you could look up a profile on a remote instance and see their posts, but they would be very delayed. On Lemmy, if your instance hasn't "discovered" a community, you wouldn't see it at all.

I followed a random user (whos posts were last synced many days ago), and it started syncing normally (it took ~1h for it to start, but it seems like it worked and now it's syncing their posts "in real time").

By accident I noticed that one instance had more japanese posts in the all feed than the other one. I thought maybe the other instance has certain languages filtered or they might be defederated from certain instances, but neither was the case. I found out that the other instance just fetches the posts from other instances much slower (days).

Then I decided to open 10+ (popular to fairly popular) instances and compare how quickly or slowly they sync with each other.

It's really bad and really random. Some instances sync perfectly with each other, some take hours, some take days, some take months...
I do not use Mastodon but if I did, finding that out would just make me not want to use it.

It reminds me of that time when there was a bug in Lemmy which made the federation broken, and that was very annoying, but we knew that there was a bug and that it was being worked on, and it was fixed fairly quickly.

But on Mastodon, from what I've seen, it doesn't even depend on the version the server is running, it truly just seems random.

It just seems odd to me that Mastodon (more popular and older software than Lemmy) would have such a glaring issue.

Wouldn't that be the first priority of every federated platform? For federation to work properly, because if it doesn't, then it can't compete with the centralized ones at all.
