“Sans Soleil” by Chris Marker.
It’s a documentary that only uses “stock footage” and a woman reading letters. It’s about time and memory and other philosophical stuff.
howdy

I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.
The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter)
Any of Satoshi Kon’s works (Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, etc). IMO, he’s one of the few animation directors who really takes advantage of everything animation has to offer.
This Lemmy instance is much harder to maintain due to the fact that I can’t tell what images get uploaded here, which means anyone can use this as a free image host for illegal shit, and the fact that there’s no user list that I can easily see. Moderation tools are nonexistent on here.
0.19.4 provides a way to see uploaded images (although not the best) but this version was only recently released so I can see where the frustration is coming from especially since the CSAM attacks happened nearly a year ago. At the time, I had to make a copy of pictrs, view everything on a file manager, and manually remove those images. People can still upload images without anyone seeing it however.
It also eats up storage like crazy due to the fact that it rapidly caches images from scraped URLs and the few remaining instances that we still federate with.
This was fixed in 0.19.3 (released 7 months ago) where you can disable image “caching”. This has solved storage costs for us together with pictrs’ image processing.
plug in an expensive AI image checker to scan for illegal imagery
It’s unfortunate that we need this. Not everybody has the resources to run fedisafety nor does everyone live in USA where they can use Cloudflare’s CSAM scanner. I think a good way to deal with the issue is to have images that are not public, not be stored (or have no private images at all). This way images can be easily reported.
Overall, I understand the frustration and to some degree I also feel the same but I also limit my expectations considering the nature of the project.

Qwant isn’t available in a lot of countries though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant
I have a few professors who have wikipedia pages if that counts.
Are server costs just generally cheaper/easier in colonial countries to run or is it purely a money and time thing?
They are cheaper. Locations outside US/EU and very few countries in Asia are sometimes called “exotic” and can be a bit expensive. Lemmy also has this issue where servers that are distant from each other lag behind.
I’ve been using GIMP for so long and I don’t know how to use Photoshop so all the “weird” things about GIMP is normal for me.
Also feel like if I learn Photoshop, I’ll never touch GIMP again. D:
Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn’t?
edit: This has triggered a chain of comments I wasn’t expecting. I’d appreciate it if someone can answer on a technical level. Is the latter two using a different registrar or name server which is why it still works for them?
There’s a lot of subs like these which I don’t want to name. Basically, subs with anti-corpo principles but refuses to leave corpo Reddit. I’m happy for the subs who are still dark even until now (and even more reason to be now that Reddit is deleting older DMs and removing awards/coins).
My favorite r/selfhosted comment.
Bypassing paywalled articles.
There’s old movies there, too.
