Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

FWIW, I went to school in mid-2000. My sibling even later. They still taught it back then, and at least here, I am pretty sure they still do. (And why would they not, after all…)

Literally noone I know in real life has any problem whatsoever reading analog clocks, no matter the “brain capacity”, neuro-typicality, state of drunkenness,… It is an extremely simple “skill”.

Yeah, vibe of the time is a good description

Because it’s not! Glad to help you clear that up.

Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it’s 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it’s going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / … ). Not saying you can’t get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.

OK, so what you want is for other people to volunteer their time and money to keep an instance running. That, by itself, is honestly fine, and many people are happy to do so.

But you then also do not want to play by their rules. That part is not fine.

Just host your own instance.

Others are luckily always free to block you, but you do not need to worry about losing your account.

There is not really any downside to hosting your own instance either, thanks to federation, you get to participate in the wider Lemmy community as an equal member.

I feel like I’m going insane reading these comments about how difficult it is to read analog clocks, how it needs too much understanding of maths, how it takes too long,…

Can someone please confirm: you just look, for a fraction of a second, at the clock face and know the time, right?

Learning to read the clock was like… A couple of lessons and some homework in the 2nd grade, and everyone got it.

Actually… Just tried it. I am on 2025.10, so newer than what was mentioned there. It still does not understand any better than from what I remember. Bummer.

But hey, at least the acknowledge that there’s the need for something between dumb pattern matching and an LLM.

Holy shit YES!

That article is from yesterday, and the relevant section is: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/10/22/voice-chapter-11/#improved-sentence-matching

Awesome to see improvements there. Thanks a lot for linking!

Oh wow, awesome!

Sounds like you never wanted to be friends, just fuck them.

I’m almost sorry to be blunt, but…

Women don’t want to be chased. You’re a misogynist who has reduced women to “people to have sex with” in your own mind.

If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don’t, you don’t. Either way it’s up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.

Thank you for your sacrifice :D

While I don’t like it, it’s not hidden either:

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it’s just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined… Eh…

(Stirling also has something similar)

Why not open a PR to make it configurable? The maintainer is super active and friendly.

Thanks for the recommendation! That looks interesting indeed.

This entire topic is probably a sinkhole of complexity. It’s great to have somewhere to look for inspiration!
