Hmm.

I’m not familiar with the constraint.

I assume that the way that this works is that I host content at www.foo.com and they have their nameserver resolve www.foo.com to different IPs based on the geolocation of the browsing user’s IP.

Is it possible to convert www.foo.com to a CNAME that can be redirected away from their nameservers? Like, I make www.foo.com be a CNAME directed at www.foo-cloudflare-cdn.com. They own www.foo-cloudflare-cdn.com, they serve A or AAA queries there on their nameservers. But if I want fallback, I update the CNAME to point at www.foo-backup-cdn.com, which is served by a different CDN.

Are there technical barriers to that, do you know?

Yeah, just one word to refer to all the compatible Fediverse Reddit-alikes.

Sublinks will be in there too, if they get the ball rolling.

If the costs are mostly variable in how much they serve up, and uptime is sufficiently important, maybe have two CDNs and use the other one as a fallback when things start going tits-up?

I think that at least some instances use Cloudflare for various things, so depending upon what and how much stuff at Cloudflare is broken, some lemmy instances may be impacted.

When you stop using a search engine and use AI-generated responses for everything, I guess having your LLM backends go down could qualify as having a disruptive functional impact.

The reason many AI image generators do multiple images is as a simple way to trade compute cycles for quality. The idea is that you generate a couple and pick the best, using your human knowledge of what you intend.

You could generate it in one place, copy the URL of the best image, and embed it in your response. That’s what I did when I pasted the links to the skunk engraving images in my post; the images were generated elsewhere. I just pasted all four rather than only one, to show what the response looks like.

The syntax for an inline image on the Threadiverse’s Markdown variant is:

![](URL)

I assume that either that syntax or a similar one will work on Mastodon, but I don’t know Mastodon’s syntax, as I don’t use it.

I put this in the post body, but it was further in and I think that some people may not have read that far: this community, !YouShouldKnow@lemmy.world, says that it bans most bots, so I don’t think that that bot will operate here. I linked to a test post on another community, !test@sh.itjust.works, where I know it works, because I just tested it there, if someone just wants to give it a try.

If you only care about folding Markdown, as in your animation, I’m sure that there are Markdown-specific editors that do that.

If you want folding across a wide variety of languages, then I think that your choices are going to be more-limited, since those editors need to be able to parse those languages. Vim and Emacs are kinda the Big Two general-purpose editors, and they’re gonna have the widest support.

EDIT: For specifically programming languages, a number of IDEs can probably do it.

Here’s Eclipse, for example.

This has a “text folding” and “code folding” column.

Okay, thanks! I didn’t want to be accidentally creating some sort of gargantuan queue if it was just backed up, but that eases my fears there.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Ah, okay, thanks…so I’m assuming that there’s some sort of rate limit on the bot?

Hmm. Still nothing.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com: I’m afraid that your aihorde bot may have crashed or something, unless there’s some sort of rate limit not mentioned in the aihorde bot FAQ. I don’t think that it was anything terribly unusual I did, as this would have been a model that I already rendered images with, just changed the prompt terms.

Most AI image generators that generate images add EXIF metadata indicating that the image is AI-generated. This helps people who want to identify AI-generated images readily.

In the case of ComfyUI, it even includes the entire workflow — like, another ComfyUI user can just grab the image, drop it onto their ComfyUI Web UI and they’ll be right where the generating user was.

Unfortunately, EXIF metadata can contain location information — some cameras and such add it — and this metadata led to people posting images at places like Reddit being doxxed after they didn’t realize that they were posting their GPS location and maybe real name, stuff that some cameras attach. As a result, a number of image-hosting places simply strip all metadata, to prevent users from from accidentally leaking this information.

Pict-rs, the software package that Lemmy hosts run to permit image uploads, does this. Unfortunately, it means that those “this is an AI-generated image” tags get stripped off.

So, for example, on my system, with ComfyUI, using ImageMagick:

$ identify -verbose output/ComfyUI_00312_.png 

“Properties:prompt” has a JSON encoding of the workflow.

Sample images generated by various AI image generators are readily-available on civitai.com.

For this generator that generated this image on civitai, it looks like the parameter is “Properties:parameters”.

I believe that there are a small number of such tags today.

It would be technically possible to just not have pict-rs strip that particular tag (or tags, if there are multiple that a given generator adds?) off, have a list of “AI-generated tags”, then have Lemmy add some visual indicator that an image is AI-generated. I’d suggest that this is probably a better longer-term route to indicate that an image is AI-generated than manually-tagging post titles, for a couple of reasons:

• Spiders that index images on the Web will know that the image is AI-generated and can flag that for users and let them use that as a filtering criteria (e.g. Kagi Images permits for this). They aren’t going to understand tags in post titles, but the metadata tags are somewhat universal.

• Doesn’t require manual effort if an image can have some indicator or flair or whatever put on it automatically. And I guarantee that some users are going to get this wrong just by accident, because different instances have different rules. Easier to change how a computer works than to change human behavior across-the-board.

• Works on all instances.

• The information remains attached to the image even if downloaded.

• Works for images that aren’t just the subject of single-image posts and don’t have an associated title.

• Speaking purely for myself, I kind of like the open-source, collaborative aspect of sharing the workflows or prompts, since it helps other users see how an image was created and learn from it; it’s something that I’m glad to see the generators include, and I’m kind of sad that we strip it off on the Threadiverse.

Let’s see if maybe it just dropped the request and is still alive.

EDIT: Hmm. This is taking much longer than before. I am hoping that the bot didn’t just die.

Great! Okay, probably shouldn’t fill this post up with just black-and-white images, though.

Works, though that particular image doesn’t blow me away. Another high-contrast black-and-white set of prompt terms that’s worked for me with SDXL:

Fantastic, so that works. I’m a sucker for high-contrast black-and-white stuff. Another set of noir prompt terms that I’ve liked; again, dunno if the base SDXL model has sufficient training to do it:
