Sadly, like all good things, this too must come to an end.

Between rising server costs, my waning interest in self-hosting, and saving up to upgrade my car, I’ve decided it's time to pull the plug :) I plan to shut things down sometime in the next few weeks or months; I haven't set an exact date yet.

As for lemmy-federate.com, I plan to refactor and migrate it to Cloudflare Workers -which should be cheap enough to run- unless someone else steps up to take it over.

Honestly, it was a great run while it lasted. Cheers everyone. I kiss you.

After casting her vote for Donald Trump in 2024 in hopes that he would bring transparency around the Jeffrey Epstein case, Epstein survivor Jena Lisa Jones said in an interview this week that she now fears “we’re not going to get justice in all of this”.

I am willing to bet the Democrats will bitch out by early next week and fully fund the Trump gestapo.

If Iran ignores the deadline, the first rung is predictable: US strikes on Iranian power plants. But the next steps are far less controllable.

Iran has declared any attack on its energy infrastructure will trigger retaliation against Gulf desalination plants — the lifeblood of drinking water for the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and parts of Saudi Arabia. Millions of civilians would be affected immediately, forcing Gulf governments to prioritize domestic stability over military alignment with Washington.

From there, the conflict could widen.

Iran might target LNG terminals, offshore platforms, or US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. Each escalation would compel a US response, not because the targets are strategically decisive, but because failing to respond undermines the credibility the ultimatum is meant to project.

Every step up this ladder narrows options and raises risk.

...

The ultimatum was meant to project strength, but it has instead boxed the US into a corner: strike and escalate, or back down and lose credibility.

This is for multiplying your fps by 3x or 4x, but the input lag, ghosting, stuttering, and other issues make everything worse. Overall I'd recommend sticking to lossless scaling at 2x or not using framegen at all.
