The "gut" might not be an organ but I can't see a microbe letting go of some tasty piece of food just because it happens to pass from the small incestine to the colon... (wrong terms can safely be attributed to my translation tool)...

Elon Musk supports eliminating rights for people who aren't Elon Musk... That's about it, I think...
Several times, sometimes to find out when an incompatibility was introduced in an upstream dependency to find the maximum compatible version, but usually to find the commit that introduced a strange bug.
The process is always the same... Write a unit test, start bisect, check test select next bisect step, repeat. If your last-known-good and first-known-bad are correct, it always worked for me.
Since this was a question about a lemmy feature, I'm talking lemmy here, arguing about fediverse, TCP/IP or electricity numbers/servers/plants doesn't seem usefull in this context. Providing a link to a server that to your knowledge (you provided the reason) hosts illegal content can be seen as participating in this crime or at least advertizing. (Disclaimer: I'm no lawyer, I just remember whole BBS being seized for providing lists of (international) phone numbers to BBS that hosted warez and there's stuff that's worse than warez).
There are a few different things I'd like to mention:
- I don't think, that there is such a thing as a massively defederated instance exists right now. The most blocked instance is blocked by about 11% of the instances, followed by two instances at 6%
- Even if the die hard scene users would know their instances, not every random troll or spammer would.
- This doesn't address the possible legal issues of publicly announcing where someone could find illegal content
- If "small queer instance" refers to beehaw... That's the second largest instance there is as of today according to https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
And lastly: If you're new to the fediverse you maybe shouldn't run your own instance in first place. Helping reckless people pull reckless stunts is a bad reason to promote a feature.
Currently it isn't and I don't think, that this would be the best idea ever since it could be misused as some kind of index to find bad instances. The defederated-list is available to the public and thus the defederating instance could in fact be "advertizing" the instances they defederated from ("Look, we don't want this stuff here, but these instances are for [right-wing|transphobes|bots|spammers|porn]")...
Depending on where the instance is hosted or where the admin lives, it might even be illegal to in fact point people to places where they can find certain things.
I've seen the fun of "prints everywhere" in production when a colleague forgot to remove a "Why the fuck do you end up here?" followed by a bunch of variables before committing a hot-fix... Customers weren't to amused...

I seldom use profilers because I seldom need to. It's only usefull to run a profiler if your programm has a well defined perfomance issue (like "The request should have an average responsetime of X ms but has one of Y ms" or "90% of the requests should have a response after X ms but only Y% actually do).
On the other hand I use a debugger all the time. I rarely start any programm I work on without a debugger attached. Even if I'm just running a smoke test, if this fails I want to be able to dig right into the issue without having to restart the programm in debug mode. The only situation, where i routinely run code without a debugger is the red-green-refactor cycle with running unit tests because I'll need to re run these multiple times with a debugger anyway if there are unexpected reds...
What enables me? Well there's this prominent bug-shaped icon in my IDE right besides the "play button", and there's Dev-Tools in Chrome that comes with the debugger for JS...
Running your code without a debugger is only usefull if you want to actually use it or if you're so sure that there aren't any issues that you might as well skip running the code altogether...
I used "meadia coverage" in a very broad sense here (as in online articles by magazines, blogposts and such)...
- https://www.androidauthority.com/reddit-alternatives-lemmy-3335429/ mentiones lemmy.world way before any other
- https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances while not media gets linked rather often an has lemmy.world, beehaw and feddit on top of the "all instances" list
- https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/ for example links to awesome lemmy instances
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software) again not media but in the same ballpark, lists lemmy.ml and lemmy.world
I honestly didn't keep track I just noticed this during the last few days that if there were instanced that were mentioned or linked it was usually these three, but it might also be confimation bias.
The main difference between these two instances as I see it is that lemmy.world gets a whole lot more media coverage, attention and direct links than sh.itjust.works. You have to do research or visit join-lemmy.org to find a link to sh.itjust.works and then their tagline starting with "A bilingual (EN/FR) general-purpose instance located in eastern Canada! Powered by 99% renewal energy!" might just keep some uniformed (as in how this federation-thingy works) non-canadians from joining (yes, I left out the second part of the tagline, assuming most people who'd be put off by the beginning wouldn't read any further).
I think it's a lot less nefarious. About every post or article about Lemmy that links to Lemmy instances has links to (in this order in almost every article I remember) lemmy.world, lemmy.ml and beehaw.org. Of these 3 only lemmy.world accepts new users without vetting. Lemmy.ml doesn't accept new users at all and beehaw doesn't really look that welcoming to someone who knows they might stir some shit up in the future and also getting into beehaw requires more effort. So with lemmy.world usually being the first on the list and additionally requires the least effort to join, this is where all the world and their uncle end up on. They just get the biggest unfiltered influx and with that the biggest amount of toxic people. (I want to make sure that I'm not calling lemmy.world users lazy or toxic or anything like or that this is their target audience. It's just a fact fact that someone who can't be bothered to do research and/or "write an essay" as someone called it, will most likely end up on lemmy.world)
I don't know if this community is intened for posts like this, if not, I'm sorry and I'll delete this post ASAP....
So, I play TTRPG (mostly online) and I'm a big fan of visual aids, so I wanted to create some chahrcter images for my charakter in the new campaign I'm playing in. I don't need perfect consistency as humans usually change a little over time and I only needed the character to be recognizable on a couple of images that are usually viewed on their own and not side by side, so nothing like the consistency you'd need for a comic book or something similar. So I decided to create a Textual Inversion following this tutorial and it worked way better than expected. After less than 6 epochs I had a consistency that was enough for my usecase and it didn't start to overfit when I stopped the training around epoch 50.
Then my SO, who's playing in the same campaign asked me to do the same for their character. So we went through the motions and created and filtered the images. A first training attempt had the TI starting to overfit halfway through the second epoch, so I lowered the learning rate by factor five and started another round. This time the TI started overfitting somewhere around epoch 8 without reaching consistency before. The generated images alternate between a couple of similar yet distinguishable faces. To my eye the training images seem to have a simliar or higher quality than the images I used in the first set. Was I just lucky with my first TI and unlucky with the other two and simply should keep on trying or is there something I should change (like the learningrate that still seems high to me with 0.0002 judging from other machine learning topics)?

I was at a small roleplaying convention last week. It was great to meet the others again after about a year and game with them. Unfortunately someone was rather generous with their flu viruses and I got my personal helping. So I'm on sick leave for the second say but luckily, according to the test it's just a flu and not the big bad C. On Monday I clobbered together a small template for my sister to build fake computer screens as props for TV shows... All in all a mixed bag of some good stuff and some annoying things...
