That's one thing I really like about lemmy.ml compared to some other instances, it's always kept up to date. I'd host my own for myself but then it's just another thing I'm responsible for and I'd rather not.
in reply to ipkpjersi

The point of this post was to show that other large instances like lemmy.zip and dbzer0 updated the day of the release

Japanese researchers test pioneering drug to regrow teeth


Unlike reptiles and fish, which usually replace their fangs on a regular basis, it is widely accepted that humans and most other mammals only grow two sets of teeth.

But hidden underneath our gums are the dormant buds of a third generation, according to Katsu Takahashi, head of oral surgery at the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital in Osaka.


[…]

Tests on mice and ferrets suggest that blocking a protein called USAG-1 can awaken the third set, and the researchers have published lab photographs of regrown animal teeth.

In a study published last year, the team said their "antibody treatment in mice is effective for tooth regeneration and can be a breakthrough in treating tooth anomalies in humans".




Incus 6.8 has been released


Incus is a next-generation system container, application container, and virtual machine manager.

It provides a user experience similar to that of a public cloud. With it, you can easily mix and match both containers and virtual machines, sharing the same underlying storage and network.

Incus is image based and provides images for a wide number of Linux distributions. It provides flexibility and scalability for various use cases, with support for different storage backends and network types and the option to install on hardware ranging from an individual laptop or cloud instance to a full server rack.

When using Incus, you can manage your instances (containers and VMs) with a simple command line tool, directly through the REST API or by using third-party tools and integrations. Incus implements a single REST API for both local and remote access.

The Incus project was created by Aleksa Sarai as a community driven alternative to Canonical's LXD.
Today, it's led and maintained by many of the same people that once created LXD.

reshared this

in reply to lud

I did, but it's a home machine, personal use. So, it didn't matter for me, but for family...that was another story! :) I just pulled the main boot drive, put a different one and installed it and went through the process. Then went back to the Proxmox drive after.

Haha, alright then.

I thought you hijacked a VM Host at work to play with ;)

[news] Google Says It Appears to Have Accessed Parallel Universes


in reply to RememberTheApollo_

Yes, bullshit. Quantum Computers have no real value just yet, if ever for our needs. They are prone to errors, noise, and unsubstantiated truths. Basically you throw something in, and hope you get out what you expected.

IBM was running these things 20 years ago and bailed because it's super subjective. You don't know if what you're getting as a response has any absolute truth, or if it was an accident.

in reply to RememberTheApollo_

Soo, this one thinks that their glorified random numbers generator is accessing parallel universes because, flips notes, quantum! and it's the fastest in a very specific benchmark.

Funny how that works when the antidemocratic leader is broadly in line with US foreign policy CNN choses their words very carefully.



The Surprising Effect of Stress on Your Brain’s Reward System


in reply to cyrano

First, they observed brain activity while the mice were resting. Stress had changed the activity in the amygdala of the less resilient mice much more than it had in the resilient ones.

When the researchers gave the mice a choice between plain and sugar-sweetened water, the resilient mice easily chose the sugar water. But the less resilient mice became obsessed and often opted for the plain water.

Xia looked at brain recordings of the mice who chose the sweet water. Their amygdala was communicating with a nearby brain region called the hippocampus that remembers and predicts.

She saw a different pattern in the mice that could not decide whether to drink the plain or sweetened water. In those mice, the conversation between the two brain areas sputtered.




[News] A ‘Reverse Aging’ Guru’s Trail of Failed Businesses (feat. David Sinclair)


This is a rather detailed investigation by folks at WSJ into the business endeavors of David Sinclair, renowned celebrity scientist at Harvard Medical School (and kind-of a known fraudster among the field)

It's... interesting to say the least. Not strictly science-science per-se, but I hope this is informative to at least some of you. Personally as someone interested in aging research, I find it valuable to see what all the snake oil salesmen are doing so I know what not to get too mentally engaged in...

Link is de-paywalled. Original link at WSJ: wsj.com/health/wellness/david-…

A blog report by scientific misconduct sleuth Leonid Schneider, with references to a lot of other bonkers things Sinclair did: forbetterscience.com/2024/12/1…



How to Make Your First Loops Video


For those interested in trying out #Loops, you may be wondering: what are good tools or processes for making videos?

We go into detail with some of the tools we're currently using.

in reply to Sean Tilley

I'd love too, but they never send a verification email and the captcha doesn't work on the login screen for some reason
in reply to Sean Tilley

I can't even get an account created because the website isn't functional. Downloaded the app but it's not doing me any good.


As a reminder, ClubsAll is still showing all of Lemmy's content without federating back


A post from 2 months ago which explained the context: lemmy.world/post/20694710

I just had a look, nothing has changed, the website is still using Lemmy's content to pretend to be active

in reply to vinay_clubsall

The content is coming from federation, so how is it being pushed to clubsall after blocking?


I blocked your instance based on your domain. But because you are using other domains to pull the content, you're still receiving content from the domains you use that I haven't blocked.

My request stays the same, give us some breathing room until some traffic threshold. Is that fair?


What is your plan for what clubsall will look like? I have no interest in killing a new and interesting platform for building community in the lemmy space. But if you're just going to pull content from lemmy instances without giving anything back, that's not building community...

Tell me you've got plans for something other than a content scraper, and I'll happily work with you.

sublinks library.


Do you mean this? github.com/sublinks

There is almost no traffic today, users are not missing out on any content.


If there is almost no traffic today, why do you complain about being defederated?

in reply to Blaze (he/him)

I mean this library github.com/sublinks/sublinks-a…

We have a handful of users. Their comments are being federated. They are not making any posts (because without federation there are no replies). Defederation will mean users cannot even comment and will have to abandon ClubsAll. A site being abandoned at this early stage usually means death of site, which I would like to avoid if possible.

github.com/sublinks/sublinks-a…


Are you aware that most of the activity on Sublinks has stopped, with 1 change in November, and the other most recent ones from October? github.com/sublinks/sublinks-a…

As I mentioned in another comment, why did you not fork a project like codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi which is still being actively developed?

We have a handful of users.


How many do you have at this moment? 10, 25, 50?

in reply to Blaze (he/him)

Yes I am aware, that is why our progress has stopped. I was told they will pickup again in new year.

I just did not know about pyfedi, I will look into it.
We have about 10 users in last month.

in reply to vinay_clubsall

I was told they will pickup again in new year.


I don't know where you got that information, but the whole project just seems stopped at the moment. Development resuming in January would be surprising.

We have about 10 users in last month.


Good to know, thanks. Honestly, for 10 users, you should probably just host a standard Piefed instance, and that would probably be more than enough for your users.

in reply to vinay_clubsall

Thank you for the update. I honestly don't mind if you're not there in terms of federating out yet. As long as the plan for the project is to generate connectivity/community in some way, we'll be better off for your project being here :)

Yes this is easy to implement. While I do not fully agree because impersonation can still be done by using username Bytes0nBikes. I feel showing instance names adds complexity for the user and it does not fully address impersonation anyways.

But then again, even though I disagree, many people mentioned that lack of attribution bothers them. So I should take feedback and get this done. I hope this is what everyone meant and they will accept this as a solution.

This is rather easier to implement. I should be able to get this done rather quickly. I will try to do this before end of Dec.



Den vedervärdige HVB-chefen. ETC har publicerat ett bra reportage om en man som först arbetade på ett SIS-hem och misskötte det på det allra grövsta sätt. Han fick sluta men fick då istället anställning på ett privat HVB-hem där han fortsatte med sin tradition av att allvarligt missköta verksamheten.
