  • This is sso support as the client. So you could use any backend that supports the oauth backend (I assume, didn’t look at it yet).

    So you could use a forgejo instance, immediately making your git hosting instance a social platform, if you wanted.
    Or use something as self hostable like hydra.

    Or you can use the social platforms that already exist such as Google or Microsoft. Allowing faster onboarding to joining the fediverse. While allowing the issues that come with user creation to be passed onto a bigger player who already does verification. All of these features are up for your instance to decide on.
    The best part, if you don’t agree with what your instance decides on, you can migrate to one that has a policy that coincides with your values.

    Hope that gives you an idea behind why this feature is warranted.























  • The downvotes you can see (on this post) are from accounts on your instance then. As this post is semi inflammatory it is highly likely to have garnered some downvotes.

    Edit: I guess I was wrong regarding the logic of how downvotes work when we block them. As the http request (used too?) return an error when responding to a downvote. I’ll have to look at it again. As the only way it was/is 15, is if:

    • we kept track of downvotes and sent out the activities notification
    • your instance got the notifications from other instances about our post, (which is not how Lemmy works unless I’m seriously misunderstanding it.)












  • Bah! I totally forgot that they have the new “efficiency” cores…

    Performance Cores: 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 2.5 GHz Base, 4.8 GHz Turbo
    Efficient Cores: 8 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.8 GHz Base, 3.5 GHz Turbo

    Hmmm, I’d still say its totally worth it because the 12500 only has 6 core (12 threads) total. You are getting 8 extra core/threads.

    Linux/docker/anyOS will make use of 8 extra cores regardless of the workload. Sure they might not be as performent on the lower end but a process running 12 threads vs a process running 20 threads will always be more performant.


  • I’m always look at ongoing costs rather than upfront and mostly thats the TDP, which is exactly the same. So I would agree with your sentiment. The major cost is performing it.

    Single thread has a small increase 5% or so, but you have double the amount of threads. So your two dozen (24) docker containers could have a thread per container! Thid could benefit you a lot if you were running anywhere near 100% or have long running multithread jobs.

    If I had the disposable money and I thought I could sell the 12th gen CPU then maybe. But i’m still rocking some old E3-12xx v3 Xeons which probably costs me more per year than what you will pay to upgrade!
