Most of the Lemmy instances seem to require an email to sign up. That's fine, except most of the places you would go to sign up for email want you to... already have an email. And often a phone number. And almost always a first name, last name, and birthday.
I promise not to do bad stuff, but I don't want that sort of information able to be publicly associated with my accounts where I write stuff, when everyone inevitably loses their databases to hackers. Pseudonymity is good, actually; on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog, etc.
Is anyone doing normal webmail registration anymore? Set username and password, receive email for free? I don't even need to send anything to sign up for accounts elsewhere.
Right now, NSFW-marked communities are by default(?) not shown by their home instance to non-logged-in users in the community list, and even if you go to them manually no posts are shown.
Fine, but they also aren't shown to logged in users on other home instances, unless somehow already federated over. If you go to the community's instance, it can't tell you are logged in, and if you go to your home instance you can't see a list of all communities on the other instance that might be available.
Also, older posts that are marked NSFW can't be gotten by anyone with an account anywhere other than the instance they were posted to. When you subscribe to a community on another instance it federates over a few posts, but to doesn't request and federate older posts as you try and page back through the archive. The normal solution is to view the old posts on the source instance, but if the community is marked NSFW the source instance won't let you read the archive there without a local account.
I managed to federate https://sh.itjust.works/c/dave_tv@dalek.zone/ and it gets the header and avatar but it doesn't seem to actually pick up any videos.
Maybe they're all too old or the wrong type.
Everyone is so thrilled with llama.cpp, but I want to do GPU accelerated text generation and interactive writing. What's the state of the art here? Will KoboldAI now download LLaMA for me?
