If yes, is there a high res image? Thanks!
A Basil Plant@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Website hosters of Lemmy, which hosting service do you use and why?1·4 months agoMy personal website is made using Hugo, sitting behind Caddy, and hosted on Racknerd. I see elsewhere in the thread that you’re looking for something akin to a $5/month VPS, but racknerd is MUCH cheaper for much more vCPU + vRAM (older hardware, but that’s not a deal breaker for hosting a static website).
I used to do $6/Month on Digital Ocean for 1 vCPU + 1GB vRAM + 1TB bandwidth, but now I’m somewhere like $3/Month for 2 vCPU + 2.5GB vRAM + 5TB bandwidth [1]. In fact, I paid $6 extra to have the server in France. Otherwise it’s $30 a year.
Check out racknerd tracker [2]. I found out about it through lemmy many months ago [3]. The person who made the website gets some affiliate stuff.

If not, Temp mail works fine.
Also, Bug me not has user-submitted usernames + passwords to services. This works nicely.
I’ve used Port87 in the past. The user who created it promoted the service on lemmy initially. It worked (I paid for a few months).
A Basil Plant@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Instance Admins: Check Your Instance for Vote Manipulation Accounts [PSA]English4·8 months agoYes, this would essentially be a detecting mechanism for local instances. However, a network trained on all available federated data could still yield favorable results. You may just end up not needing IP Addresses and emails. Just upvotes / downvotes across a set of existing comments would even help.
The important point is figuring out all possible data you can extract and feed it to a “ML” black box. The black box can deal with things by itself.
A Basil Plant@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Instance Admins: Check Your Instance for Vote Manipulation Accounts [PSA]English52·8 months agoMy bachelor’s thesis was about comment amplifying/deamplifying on reddit using Graph Neural Networks (PyTorch-Geometric).
Essentially: there used to be commenters who would constantly agree / disagree with a particular sentiment, and these would be used to amplify / deamplify opinions, respectively. Using a set of metrics [1], I fed it into a Graph Neural Network (GNN) and it produced reasonably well results back in the day. Since Pytorch-Geomteric has been out, there’s been numerous advancements to GNN research as a whole, and I suspect it would be significantly more developed now.
Since upvotes are known to the instance administrator (for brevity, not getting into the fediverse aspect of this), and since their email addresses are known too, I believe that these two pieces of information can be accounted for in order to detect patterns. This would lead to much better results.
In the beginning, such a solution needs to look for patterns first and these patterns need to be flagged as true (bots) or false (users) by the instance administrator - maybe 200 manual flaggings. Afterwards, the GNN could possibly decide to act based on confidence of previous pattern matching.
This may be an interesting bachelor’s / master’s thesis (or a side project in general) for anyone looking for one. Of course, there’s a lot of nuances I’ve missed. Plus, I haven’t kept up with GNNs in a very long time, so that should be accounted for too.
Edit: perhaps IP addresses could be used too? That’s one way reddit would detect vote manipulation.

Are they trying to say that by moving to this new era, they’ll go single digit Angstrom i.e., 0.x nm?
That’s not a very valid argument.
First and foremost, most devs probably see it as a job and they do what they’re told. They don’t have the power to refute decisions coming from above.
Second, in this economy where jobs are scarer than a needle in multiple haystacks, people are desperate to get a job.
Third, yes, there may be some Microsoft (M$) fan-people who end up being devs at M$. Sure, they may willingly implement the things upper management may request. However, I’m not sure whether that’s true for most of the people who work at M$.
Your comment suggests to shift the blame to the devs who implement the features that upper management request for. Don’t shoot the (MSN) messenger.
A Basil Plant@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Twstalker: new twitter frontendEnglish27·1 year agoLooks cool and I’m glad something new has arrived after nitter.
A few things, however:
- It doesn’t look like I can view comments on tweets; I can only view the tweet. (Firefox mobile if that matters)
- It’s pretty slow. It’s not a big problem, but it is very noticeable.
- Somewhat irrelevant, but why is it called TWStalker? It’s a… bit of a weird name. ‘Stalker’ makes me feel like I’m doing something illegal even though I definitely am not.
