hmm yeah I think you're right. I wonder what kind of devices will be used for detecting players/npcs?

For heat I imagine there will be infrared monitors but idk about for EM signature.

Man you crazy

Complacency isn't a legitimate defense against criminal activity and corporations are extremely litigious over piracy. Would you rather lemmy.world spend all their money on fighting lawsuits, or building a better instance?

Any community that is creating questionable content should create their own instance and not seek open federation with the entire fediverse. That kind of behavior is reckless and counterproductive to what we're trying to do here.

Where can we suggest improvements?

This could be a very powerful tool if the right options are added. One of the things I'd like to see is the ability to set an upvote or comment threshold. If posts were popular, I would like to keep them. If, however, a post received very little upvotes and had little interaction, there's not much value in keeping it. And I'm talking about all interactions here, not just from members of our own instances.

This doesn't seem like a very hard thing to implement and would be well received.

I'm attempting this migration on an instance that has been running for about a month, is federated with the top 10+ instances and has synced a lot of data.

The steps I'm using are as follows:

stop docker: sudo docker stop domainname_pictrs_1

run docker-compose to open a session in the stopped container: sudo docker-compose run pictrs sh

run the cmdlet to migrate pictrs via https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/#filesystem-to-object-storage-migration

When this runs, it appers to be trying to sync like... all of the lemmy fediverse... to my object storage:

2023-08-13T17:55:44.426301Z WARN pict_rs: Running checks

2023-08-13T17:55:45.188984Z WARN pict_rs: Checks complete, migrating store

2023-08-13T17:55:45.275403Z WARN pict_rs: 56963 hashes will be migrated

Most of these fail, and I'm trying to run it again with --skip-missing-files , but based on what I'm seeing I don't know if this is really something that can be done once an instance has federated with a lot of other instances.

Am I missing something?

Edit: with --skip-missing-files its telling me that it's going to take 23403 seconds (6.5 hours) to complete this migration.

When I look into the bucket, I see all kinds of random images being migrated over, so it's definitely storing pretty much every image that my instance has ever synced. Is there a way to just migrate content that originated on my instance?

Ha ha, pretty good quality

we could use a series of these 😂

Yeah this is sort of a rehash, but the prospect of building a base that's more interesting looking than the current outposts is a pretty cool possibility.

I'm all about medical!

What we have now is a huge step forward from before, but there are so many parts of medical gameplay that we haven't even scratched the surface of. I hope CIG does it justice!

Progress is looking good!

Crocs are old news. We're all about those big red boots now!

It's come full circle.

Maybe a better idea is a service that has a centralized list of instances and their communities. Allow any instance/community to opt into advertising their link to this service.

Then any instance that wants to pull down the full list can opt in and sync their bot. Because everyone is syncing the same list, everyones bot would be subscribed to the same things.

I think maybe the best idea would be able to let communities opt into different types of lists like news, memes, tech, gaming, etc. That way instances/communities could choose what types of communities to sync with if they have very specific purposes.
