I understand the problem with server overloading and the problems with hosting big database etc. But can't we host short , compressed videos with just good enough quality . Like some of the high quality gifs on lemmy is much ,much bigger than the kind of videos i described . Or am i missing something ? I do understand the issues...
Koe no Katachi - very popular anime movie. Also one of my favourites.
Bocchi the Rock - Anime about an extremly introverted girl wanting to play guitar in a highschool band.
Re-Life - its an anime about a grown up guy getting a chance to re-live his high-school days as part of a experiment or something like that. It was pretty good.
Lookism - its a Manhwa, but also has an anime. Basically the main character gets 2 bodies mysteriously. The original body is the ugly one which people bully him for and the second body is like that of a (male) kpop artist which people view differently.
Death's game - it's a kdrama I recently watched. Although it doesn't exactly fit in with the theme of 'lonlieness' I thought I'd mention it.
P.S - some shows I mentioned here might not be as loneliness inducing as you think.
Sorry the article I posted is already 2 weeks old but I didn't see other remaining post here on lemmy about this.
Also, it says this virus affects domesticated animal but doesn't say if dogs are affected yet.
Well, I didn't read the whole thing : it was too long for me.
The mayor of Elyria has ordered a probe after the woman who lives at the home accused police of raiding the wrong house, an incident that she said left her baby with severe burns....
You know the saying about terrorists and freedom fighters? The thing the politicians don't like to have people acknowledge is that democracy only works when the governing understand that, within reason, they SHOULD fear the people. The world, regardless of ideologies, has been governed by the terrorists in some form ever since people proved that 9/11 worked because most people have (had) too much to lose to not give in.
You're right to question, is my point. Unfortunately, at some point you have to roll the dice at the casino of revolution. The house seems to always win, unfortunately, so that's why that should be a last resort. I will admit I don't know what the Godzilla Threshold is for a civil war, but I suggest if Trump is not barred from running in November, and if you're an American, that you not be willing to take the risk.
One missing politician started WWI but Franz Ferdinand was more than a random aristocrat, he actually tried to make the world better and people universally loved him. Ferdinand was not killed for treason, he was killed to falsely justify every King in Europe's shot at domination of their continent and to justify sending an entire generation to slowly and painfully die or return home a permanent cripple with irreversible percussive brain damage in combination with PTSD (shell shock). Trump is not a hero, his death will not be worth fighting a war over, and even Kennedy and Lincoln dying did not kill the USA. Nobody should have to die if they are innocent or redeemable, unfortunately narcissists like that they think they're "superior" and don't like being told that they're being a jerk because they're flawed anymore than a normal person. The difference is, a narcissist will then strike back for daring to not see them as perfect.
I will admit, Mary Trump agrees her family is shit and I have a nasty, unprovable but sinking suspicion that "the Don" has raped his own daughter. That kind of abuse tends to trigger the very genes that make a clinically narcissistic person a narcissist. It's not truly inherent or even biologically inevitable, it can be unininherited and it can be avoided.
The thing is, you do that by treating the next generation, every last child, as equals to each other and as if they were your most treasured friend. Kids are ignorant because they're new to reality, not because they are legitimately ignorant, not because they are too stupid or undeveloped to understand (at least not after grade 3), and never because they are "cruel". It's not kids that are cruel, it's spoiled brats. Nobody likes spoiled assholes, not even kids, yet people say that immaturity is evil? Immaturity is a recognition that you are and always will be flawed and that you accept that you don't know how to be responsible. Maturity is an acceptance of responsibility for your actions and responsibility for letting your flaws get out of hand. Brattiness? That's wanting two cakes so you can have one and eat the other too, even though you were told that getting it means other people won't get any.
When you break a kid's trust, they will never recover from that. If anyone in Israel or (by some miracle) the Gaza strip is reading this, I wish no harm upon your children but this campaign against Gaza is such obviously hypocrital Hitleresque bullshit that if you are under the age of 18, you need to start threatening your own side with extreme physical violence if this war and this X-thousand-year-old feud your ancestors started doesn't end now, because I guarantee that if you live on either side, you will be killed by the other side's children's parents or you will live to see me dedicate my life to having your parents charged in an international court for this pointless, overblown war. Why? Because your parents killed their children and vice-versa and all of it just to spite the adults of each side. Killing someone as "revenge" for something their parents did is not revenge, it's spite, and spite isn't even justifiable by the standards of someone whose longest grudge goes back to when I was 4 years old.
I don't want to get "revenge" on that then-teenage girl (long story, irrelevant too) by hurting anyone she cares about, that's not justice and revenge is supposed to be the substitute for justice, not an excuse to justify hurting someone who has never directly hurt you and has never intentionally and unrepentantly hurt anyone. Tbh, considering what she did was not even severe... I admit it's petty, but can you blame someone who has always felt too irrelevant and "different" to have real influence over even his own life for wanting even a small victory, when he tells his brother "I never succeeded at or won anything" and his response of "that's hyperbolic" is met with "name one time I ever succeeded with an untainted victory, a victory that wasn't taken away after the fact" and his horrified response is "oh shit" and not "what about X" despite him knowing me better than I know myself, that is seemingly disproportionate, except I just want to take away something that is super-important to her now but will not be detrimental in any debilitating way, something that she'll look back on in 29 years and realize I just wanted justice and it never came, and what I did didn't destroy her in the long run.
It's called "an eye for an eye" and not "a life for an eye" and especially not "an innocent child for the death of someone who would be long dead by now anyways". Taking eyes so to speak is controversial for obvious reasons, yet people seem to think that taking the eyes of a person who hasn't even taken any eyes is the way to punish the person who did.
And you know what? I bet it fucking started because two guys wanted a woman or a stash of riches and one point in the triangle decided to murder the hypotenuse and suddenly everybody is taking sides. If I had a time machine, I would go back in time,and tell both those idiots "NO, FUCK YOU, you ruined every life that came after you fighting over something that either has a mind and will of her own except apparently not to the minds of you two, or something inanimate that was shiny enough to sell someone else to death for. I'm going to kill both of you, paradox be damned, and then I'm going to stick around to make sure your families hate only one thing, me, because clearly somebody has to play god or you insignificant yet entitled assholes will think that playing god is acceptable if you call it "sins of the fathers". Enjoy the bullets my not-magic wand is going to put in you, I hope I'll see you in hell for all we've done."
I've got issues. Unfortunately, someone irreparably sabotaged my reputation by essentially drugging and gasliggting me for 7 years, I'm not exactly in a forgiving mood at the best of times. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not able to play god, if the one in the bible is anything to go by that kind of anger is understandable but only because free will deserves immortality. Unlike that god, I'd give that immortality but I'd also be too much like the vengeful thundergod with a temper who I honestly think deserves a smack upside the head if he thinks anyone should have to go through THIS shit to be entitled to having a soul, because any god who lets kids die more than any other group in history just because he hates what he created is no better than the devil opposing the heavens.
Tl;Dr: Life is not unfair. People are unfair, and I am currently having a mental crisis because I no longer even care about the laws of reality let alone the laws of people. I am dangerous because I have nothing to lose but I am not a monster, I am a cornered animal and if the world does not back off (not anyone here on the FediVerse specifically, but like I said my life was shit and it only got worse after 2017) I don't think I am capable of taking even a slight inconvenience right now without destroying the last worldly possession of mine that every person needs but I can no longer make use of, my freedom (legal or mental or even "still alive"). At least I know I'm not likely to encounter that if I'm occupied with Lemmy.
Yeah it certainly feels that way to me too. I can't speak for the rest of the Fediverse platforms (Friendica, Misskey, Mastodon, etc.) but Lemmy is certainly a tight-knit, active and generally friendly group...
You should have seen how it was like here before May this year, when there were only a few dozen users that posted or commented anything at all across all servers, call that tight knit.
Still, I'm so proud of everyone for help in keeping a friendly vibe for the most part, and for user reporting and mod actions keeping trolls at bay. There was quite a bit of concern that when people migrated from Reddit en masse that it Lemmy would be taken over by the same uninspired drivel or become a Reddit repost site. What we got are very healthy meme and shitpost communities with shitposters who engage with commentors, tech news, politics, environment news with active discussions where people have disagreed with each other without getting in a complete rage about it, and cute animal pics like !aww and !superbowl.
There's still progress to be made on parts of the technical, moderation and community sides. For my part, I'm trying to post more and my goal this year is to share a lot pictures of the cityscape to Lemmy.
Let's say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot....
New lemmy user. New to the forum. Please excuse any errors in posting.
I (may) have for quite a long time (10+ years) ran a NAS system that automatically downloads TV shows, Movies, Music, and the like.
Usenet is the way to go. Hands down. I (may) have also torrented a lot in the past...
As many others have mentioned retention times (the time each USENET server "keeps" the file available) is huge these days. Around 5+ years. Was the file uploaded 5 years ago? Chances are you still get it from your server with no problems. Lots of "old" stuff is frequently re-uploaded to servers. General availability of stuff that is "new" or "popular" is very high.
As some others have mentioned USENET is usually ONE server that you pay for. A file is uploaded to server X, and is mirrored by (your) server Y (and all/most other servers). You are not actually downloading (in most cases, as is mine) from multiple servers simultaneously. Many servers do allow multiple connections to download the entire files parts at the same time, however. Bonus: Most/all reputable USENET servers also have SSL as an option (even with custom ports). Your ISP has no clue what your traffic is since it is encrypted with SSL (and perhaps even on a custom [non-standard] port). My USENET server peaks out at the ISP provided bandwidth on all downloads.
Someone else also mentioned indexers and equated them to the "google of USENET." I agree. Indexers are absolutely required for a full USENET ease-of-use experience (and for all automation apps). Automation apps use this indexer to search for the applicable files (.nzb: .nzbs are kind of like a .zip file full of the references of the files on USENET to download an entire (big) file.)
I have had the same USENET provider for over a decade. I think it costs me <$100/year (and comes with a VPN and proxy). I purchased a lifetime membership with an indexer that has never left me wanting for like $100 years ago. Still works like a charm.
I saw someone mention some automation apps such as: sabNZBd, sonarr, raddar, and lidarr. These apps will cover 90% of what you are looking for unless it is somewhat niche. There are also automation apps for books, comics, anime, manga, and other stuff out there. Pretty easy to find. My automation programs automatically look for new TV shows, movies, and etc. that aired/released, downloads them, categorize them, rename the files, transfer them to my storage, download subtitles, have criteria (as someone mentioned before) as to which file type/region/size/bitrate that I want. It just works, now that I have it all setup, in the background. I spend 5 minutes a week on ensuring things have been downloaded and are in there place.
Typically if a new show was released (aired) on Tuesday, my rig would have it downloaded by the next day (by automation apps) when I was ready to watch TV. I have had several folks ask for specific things, and was able to find them with my automation apps (more below) in very short course.
Regarding torrent automation: It seems a bit harder. Torrents are slower to download and a "bit" harder to process/automate. Some torrent downloaders don't natively support VPN or a proxy (I am speaking from the "I do it on Truenas perspective" as opposed to "I do it on Windows.") I assume that most, if not all, Window's torrent programs support both aforementioned methods of IP obfuscation.
I am not posting links or naming either my USENET provider or my indexer due to the fact that I don't understand the subs rules, nor do I want to look like an advertising shill.
Please message me if you want anymore information or if there is anything I can do to help out.

Why doesn't lemmy host any videos ?
I understand the problem with server overloading and the problems with hosting big database etc. But can't we host short , compressed videos with just good enough quality . Like some of the high quality gifs on lemmy is much ,much bigger than the kind of videos i described . Or am i missing something ? I do understand the issues...
