That, or a decent upscaling algorithm such as xBRZ. Old upscalers like Super 2x SAI made pixel art look like a cheap watercolor, and made later upscalers get a bad fame. Nowadays a good upscaler basically turns the game screen into a vectorized set of lines, and it looks much better, closer to what the pixel artists intended the end result to look like on a big screen.

That's just the Soviet/Russian anthem isn't it

My personal domain name is AZK.Ware (azkware.net) so it follows that my machines are called azkware-desktop, azkware-server and azkware-laptop

For YouTube it's PeerTube and for Twitch it's probably OwnCast

You could also use Hubzilla

My electricity bill went up 50% due to the AC alone. It's getting THAT bad

I usually sell my GPUs shortly after upgrading to the last one. Otherwise I usually keep them until they break

Well, phrases such as:

• We must aim to reach return of investment
• Make sure to know your target demographic
• Customers want content

all reek of terminal capitalism

As somebody who likes the concept of VTubing but loathes corporations with overreaching NDAs such as Cover Corp and AnyColor, this is my vibe - subbed!

Fair enough, but just letting people show up in the cafeteria and then shooing them out after the fact because they didn't know where they came from is not good moderation. Having a bouncer at the door and only allowing clients from places they trust, on request, would be a less taxing moderation policy. (Which is to say, working on an allow-list basis and blocking everyone else unless the instance specifically requests federation with Beehaw, and the latter approves the former's moderation policies)

In which case you should default to forbidding every other server, and only accept incoming entries after the server has been vetted as safe. Letting people in with the expectation of this being a public space and then shooing them out when you found out somebody wandered into your terrain is not a good look. Having a fence in the first place and ask for an ID at the entrance is what you probably should have done instead.

Again, it was a terrible idea to use a federated software if you wanted to have full control of who could and could not interact with your instance. But it's too late to move Beehaw to use Tildes instead, so why not make the instance require logging in to view content, defederate entirely, and just be its own self-contained thing from now on?

Banning the vast majority of users from interacting with your instance at all solely because of where they decided to make their first account on isn't exactly nuanced either, and I get the technical reasons why you had to do so. But if that's the main goal, then removing federation altogether, and expecting users to submit to the approval process before interacting with your instance, would have been the better procedure. Think less Starbucks, more of an exclusive cafeteria based on a monthly subscription and with bouncers at the entrance just in case.

So, if that were the case, why not remove federation with everything, and require users to log in to view the content in the first place? That way you would guarantee that everyone that views or interacts with the community is properly vetted, in line with the "coffee shop" analogy you're establishing here. (Something that would have been best achieved by using a non-federated forum software such as Tildes, but alas, it's a bit too late to do a platform change)

Well. Guess I'll have to go and spin my own self-hosted version of Kbin just to be able to follow everything, without being at the mercy of third-party admins cutting my subscriptions in a whim. Also, I sure hope that the communities either move into Beehaw or outside of it, fragmentation out of the users' control makes the entire point of federation moot.

Going from "we did it Reddit" to "we did Reddit", what are the chances

Pretty much everything to be fair:

• Email with Roundcube
• Chat with Matrix-Synapse + Element
• My files with Nextcloud, easily one of my most used self-hosted apps
• RSS with Miniflux (open to change, as soon as I find any RSS backend with a usable Android app)
• My social network presence, with Pleroma (again, subject to change, as soon as I know how to properly move my domain to a different software tool)
• My media, with Jellyfin
• Peertube to watch videos from other instances and comment on them
• And finally, all of the above protected with a password vault from Vaultwarden

EDIT: For those wondering, I use @yunohost@mastodon.social ( https://yunohost.org ) as my server manager

Been playing Duel Links and Master Duel for years already, because I can't afford a physical TCG deck. Maybe we should make a sublemmy/community/magazine
