  • Using the same abbreviation scheme as "internationalization" -> "i18n", the word "to" can be abreviated as "t0o".

  • Avril didn't make it obvious enough apparently.

  • Cuba warns airlines that it will be out of fuel for planes in 24 hours

  • A1 and HP sauce are both British.... I guess they do.

  • Do you know Gabe Newell's net worth as of late 2025, measured in billions of USD?

    Jump

  • Yes, everyone has agreed to eat him last.

  • Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injection

    Jump

  • I don't know if a lot of people realize that LLM's basically started from Google translate.

  • Dutch authorities seized one of Windscribe VPN's servers – here's everything we know

    Jump

  • Yep came here to say this, it being a ram only server doesn't really help against government level attacks.

    There's a decent chance the server itself had dual power supplies, in which case you could just unplug one and plug it into a battery and you're good to go. That simplifies things quite a bit.

  • Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So

    Jump

  • Yes it was a overblown nothing.

  • Fedecan (lemmy.ca, piefed.ca, pixelfed.ca) will be moving away from Cloudflare

    Jump

  • I'm caching less to keep the load off piefed, and more to keep the load off our network connection and improve performance for users. Unfortunately nginx won't help with that. Also though I know it's trivial to get our origin IP if you're determined, it helps avoid the casual ddos attacks.

  • "American" food

  • A burger is American.

  • Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week

  • Fedecan (lemmy.ca, piefed.ca, pixelfed.ca) will be moving away from Cloudflare

  • Lol I noticed that too, but it just seems to be the captcha.

  • Do we have a graph showing the spike in users for PieFed.ca ?

    Jump

  • As in active users each day? I don't have that query written but if I remember I'll look in the next couple days

  • Do we have a graph showing the spike in users for PieFed.ca ?

    Jump

  • Edit: Hmm, this graph doesn't seem to match up to the fediverse observer data, it's quite a bit lower and I'm not immediately clear why. (This is graphed off the lemmy.ca DB as federated users from piefed.ca)

    Here's the same graph for piefed.social:

  • 5M seems really high, we're at 7.8M but I've become pretty aggressive about blocking bots / scrapers from China

    We're a registered non-profit in Canada though - https://deflect.ca/non-profits/

    Jump

  • On the other hand with cgnat deployments being common on mobile devices and lower end isps, they would end up underreporting on those users.

    Overall it does seem tricky. Billing per legit request or mbit would make more sense to me.

  • It's free for non profits, also our traffic is pretty minimal in the grand scheme of things.

    I can't speak for your stuff though 😂

    Jump

  • Not that I know of, and I don't think that's the direction they're going with it.

  • Changing instance takes way too long

    Jump

  • I don't use summit, but why do you change instance? You can reply to a message using any instance that's federated with it, you don't need to use the same instance as the post. You only need one lemmy account, not one on each instance.

  • How does indexing work at huge scales?
