no, libreddit ( a privacy frontend for reddit, third party) was renamed to redlib.

old reddit or libreddit (now redlib). If you browse without accout, that should be enough. If you have a account, I would still enable js only for old reddit and not reddit as whole.

No, it is unnecessary, and it would break many auto updating websites, for example, if you use mail in web, then your mail provider has web sockets to get notifications from server to fetch you mail.

I generally would recommend to disable javascript , and have a whitelist for websites you trust (easily achievable by ublock, or no script). If they do not have js, most attack vectors are neutralised. If you can trust a website to run js, you can trust it to run web sockets.

Essentially, all children games work - you can just make then hard, or raise the stakes to your taste

musical chairs (song plys, everyone dances, song stops - you have to grab nearest seat - for n players, start with n - 1 chairs, so someone is eliminated - now reduce the chair by 1 and repeat)

atlas - take places names - someone has to say a new place starting with last alphabet of last name.

antakshari (consider it as musical atlas - you start with a song - next song has to start with the last alphabet/sound of lst song)

these 2 can be played in teams, and instead of finishing game as soon as someone loses, you can have pre determined punishments (for example, they have to dance, with 1 leg in air, and a hand over their head)

passing the parcel - song plays - you pass the parcel - when song stops, the person with parcel gets the “gift/punishment” (punishment similar to above)

charades (or dumb charades) - you have to make someone else guess what you are acting/narrating out

well, would you be interested in befriending me?

me too, if you want one more

I sadly don’t have the moneys for it. We essentially just need a vps (soemone else’s computer, for which we pay them for (for a lemmy instance, we need a very simple small machine, but lots of storage, around a tb or so. What many instances do is instead of purchasing a server with large storage, they buy a small server, and buy storage somewhere else seperately (something like amazon s3)) this would be in ball park of (5 + 25)*12 = 360 USD per year and domain name (which as per your request must have some asiatic feel, so some asian country tld (top level domain)) 10-20 usd. beyond that, procedure is somewhat simple, and well documented.

Honestly when you posted, I initially missed the “instance” part and thought you meant community, hence i jumped into saying that lets make 1 ( i thought you were looking for interest for a community) but when i read your reply, i re read the title, and hit the wall. Sorry in case i killed your excitement.

Lets make 1. Do I make it, or would you like the honors

thanks, appreciated

I made a new community today !stupid_questions@lemmings.world. It is a simple community, appreciating absurd questions (not in my community, but the recently asked question 100 men vs gorrila also fits in it). Due to nature of community, it can actually be more interlinked with other communities, for example the gorilla question would be also fit in a biomechanics community ( i do not think we have one yet) but maybe biomechanics community does not have any (or many) subscribers, then stupid_questions folk can also join them. This somewhat happened (to soon to say much about this, all hypothesising) with first post, about brand new sentences, which is now cross posted to linguistics community. I think this can plug in a “humor” “hole” for many communities. General asking communities definitely do appreciatie humor, but may not be “nerdy” enough (i do not like using this word, especially on lemmy, where i could practically categorise everyone using lemmy to be a nerd, if you have a better one please do tell) to willingly subscribe to a “absurdism” community. My guess would be that people who appreciate absurd stuff, might have a stronger correlation with those who are interested in academicc disciplines. Maybe it is a wrong hunch, but my time on internet for however long i have been on it suggests that.

the current problem with journals is that there is no money in it for authors. journals oly exist because of historical reasons, and older folks still value them.

Arxiv exists as a semi journal, which is some what cc4 (or some other cc of your choice) and that is great, but still one source.

You can just host your research papers as websites, as in just a web article, and use some vcs like github, codeberg, or self hosted forego system. That is arguably the best case.

I have a paper which is on arxiv, and my supervisor has been “polishing” it for a journal, but to me that is a useless process, because i almost never care about things like journal impact factor or h index. to me, the only thing valide is steps for reproducibility, that is, give me a recipe, and if i can recreate, then you did a great job. This could mean, for example, releasing all your raw unprocessed data.

how to handle reputation for who can review, but I think there are ways to do that and that’s beyond the scope of this post as I imagine it could get pretty complicated and would require feedback from people actually in the industry. The reviewers can submit comments and reviews back to the author via federation, but this time the process can be open instead of behind closed doors.

one of the reasons reviewers are effective is that the remain anonymous, that is why they can shit talk a lot. You would not have the slander, if you make the identity real.

I think we should not have reputation or verification, as i stated above, if you post on your own website, and not have gatekeeping. Yes a lot of the work may not meet “some standards”. but even with current system, a lot of work is published which is substandard. if we can release work in open, and colaborate as we do for open source software, thart would be the ideal thing for me. Each issue could be a literal git issue, each correction can be a pull request, and so on. Fully transparent, and somewhat resistant to whole network failing. (assuming you have local copies, you can just spin another instance, and your paper still stays onloine)

In our home we have “coolers” (the big kind with metal bodies and large water storage, and padded, perforforated walls). It is outside our house and blowing air inwards. We try our best to seal the area around window with lots of cardboard, fibre sheet and thermocol, and then depending on time of day, confining the space (by closing other doors in home). It is not AC cool, nor is it really effictive when it is hot (50+ C) outside, but other time it works fine. In the nights it does a pretty good job (good enough that i have caught a cold right now). When we do not want the noise, we just run the water pump, so occasional winds from outside come and are cooled by the running water. Water usage is slightly high (we usually require one filling a day, which would be 40-50 litre water i guess), but we sometimes keep cycling between pump on and off to conserve some more water. If noise is a big concern to you, you can try to basically cover whole of the front (with some sound insulating material, like fibre sheets(the polymer ones often found in packaging)) and then make some side channels for air. Or something more simple is using lighter curtains just in front of cooler. This will break the flow of air, but if you have sealed rest of the are, so air can’t leak elsewhere, then you would get air breaking its flow and flow around the obstacles and reach you, but not as loud. We do something similar, we have not covered fully, we have left partially open (60 % i guess from the middle) but to cover noise, we partially close it by window (which is kept in place by curtain over it) so we get a tighter channel of air (as it bends around the edge of window). If you stay in the channel, you get large air flow, but more noise, but if you move away from it (from my casse, even by a foot) then the noise is cut in half. The rest of the room is now cooled by this air current mixing with rest of room air. If room is large, t=you may also have to turn your ceiling fan on for this, but we do not have to.

In really peak summers (and peak hours of the day), we use ac for few hours (1-1.5 or 2) and when it gets cooler outside, fall back to cooler.

i don’t really know how much could they optimise more, but they can predict it by fitting the number of cores with the amount of time taken, that is amdahl’s law.

can’t disagree

In India Fieex deposits for a period of ~400 days offer that. For lower periods it is lower. It is not a great investment if you account for inflations (that would be another ~5%, so after a year, the effective value would be close to 1.07/1.05 ~= 1.0190476)

If there are no universal truths, then that would be a universal truth, self contradicting

Probably make a fixed deposit with the principal of 1 Million, and then after a year, (Assuming annual interest rate of around 7%) I would get 1.07 million, and give you 1 Million back, and still have USD 70,000, which is still a good amount to get for free. If we get quarterly interest rate, it would be slightly higher, so will try for that

If you want to publish, please do 2 things - find a publisher which does not necessitate exclusivity (as in, you do not necessarily have to just publish something on there portal) - and secondly, make a portal of your own, and publich a duplicate copy there. This serves 2 purposes, if someone really wants to follow your work, they can just follow your website, and in case a future bait and switch happens, you have a backup of all your work.
