I got an email update about this from EyeWire. what a fantastic piece of mapping and collaboration. Video give a really nice and quick overview of what it is all about.

Eyewire's Mammal Mania! The first mammals lived in the shadows of the massive dinosaurs that ruled their age. However, after the K-ph extinction event that wiped out all non-flying dinos, mammals were ready for their time in the spotlight. The Cenozoic Era, also known as "The Age of Mammals" began 66 million years ago, and continues into the modern day!

Around 6,400 mammalian species exist in today's world. Mammals come in all shapes and sizes, live on land and in water, and are our neighbors, pets, and even our families! Let's get wild during Mammal Mania, Eyewire's week-long competition event, beginning August 17th. See you there!

FlyWire Preprint Paper Employing a technique similar to Eyewire, Seung Lab used AI to generate 3D reconstructions of neurons from a fly brain imaged via ultraresolution electron microscope. The generated cells were then inspected by scientists as well as some of Eyewire's top citizen scientists, with technological improvements requiring as little as 5-30 minutes to proofread each cell.

This landmark neuroscience dataset is currently under peer review and an early access non-peer-reviewed version called a preprint is available here. If you prefer a video, here is an overview (the 127k proofread neurons have millions of attributes). Also check out the Connectome Awards where KrzysztofKruk and Nseraf both took home gold.

The brain of Drosophila melanogaster may seem tiny, but its >100,000 neurons and tens of millions of synapses enable a fly to see, smell, hear, walk, and, of course, fly. Flies engage in dynamic social interactions, navigate over distances, and form long-term memories. Thanks to the help of an exceptional group of Eyewire Scythes and Mystics who transcended to Flyer status, the first ever whole adult animal brain has been mapped.

For Fun, For Science!

Hi faithful selfhosters!

I am looking for a solution that i can host, that will serve some tutorial and demo videos. But what it really needs is:

• the ability to chop the video into chunks, and labels them with the topic. i think youtube calls them chapters?
• Being able to upload the transcript, so that the content of the video is searchable too.

I dont think i need to have the transcript timed to the video (i guess that would be subtitles!), but being able to use the transcript and chapters as a method of searching.

I have looked at peertube, but i do not think it has that feature.

cheers

Hi all,

I want to host my own matrix server, so that i can run bridges to all the other (stupid) messaging apps.

I am looking for any advice or experience in choosing which server to run, and if you know of any good tutorials, run throughs, etc. i typically would like a lighter instance, as i expect about 3 users, with 2 of us needing bridging.

• dendrite
• synapse
• conduit
• construct

and then the addition of bridges, (Signal, WA, Messenger and hopefully SMS).

I am fairly self sufficient when it comes to self hosting, and i run everything on linux, in docker, proxied by Nginx proxy manager. but typically prefer stuff that works more or less out of the box.

Thanks all!

i have just seen that gfycat is shutting down. i love sticking in a GIF, but would love a way to keep and categorise my gifs, and be able to embed/copy them into my banter.

Anyone know of something that could do it?

cheers

I am looking for some thoughts on using dietpi as a hosting OS.

I am going to use proxmox as a hypervisor (simplify upgrades, IaC, backups etc) on a x86-64 arch. But am looking for the best OS to host on.

I almost exclusively use docker to host the services.

I stumbled across someone suggesting dietpi, and thought what a good idea, a really lightweight OS.

what's peoples experiences using dietpi as a hosting os, outside of SBCs?
