If you’re ever buying your own LEDs, make sure they’re 2700K or less, it makes a huge difference in the temperature of light. The annoying part is that manufacturers ship appliances with god awful lightbulbs which, thanks to unfortunate advances, mean they will never die. A blessing and a curse.
I think this is a strong reminder: We shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket. This will happen again. Unlike Reddit, we don’t need to concentrate all communities on one instance. We should all make an effort to spread out. Some other general use instances are:
Again, for those new, you can post content to any of these instances and interact with content from other instances at the same time, just like you can send an email from your Gmail account to your ProtonMail account.
He’s awesome. I hope his dishwasher videos can help you out!
You should watch this lovely video from TechnologyConnections: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
I agree completely and I’m in the same boat. Hopefully “community migration” becomes possible where you can ship all your posts to a new instance if necessary.
Lemmy is the closest thing yet for sure.
The main pros: decentralized*, productive conversations, no karma, open source.
The main con is that “decentralized” is a good idea, but it only works in practice. Most people have jumped onto lemmy.world instead of spreading out. Minor cons include a lack of decent video embedding, missing some niche communities, and small bugs.
Overall I’ve rediscovered a lot of the internet that I had simply stopped checking because reddit took over my digital life. I read HackerNews again, the NYT, and a lot more. It’s nice.
I had no idea about that foundation - it seems like they’ve done a lot of great work. Thanks for sharing!
Sync should have this when it comes out! Hopefully a beta will be released soon
Connect does. Unfortunately it’s all based on polling (asking the server if there are any comments) every so often, instead of being notified immediately. Lemmy doesn’t support sending out notifications (yet?)
See if you can get a used Quadro P4000 from someone local to you (eBay in the US, for example). I got mine for about $80. It’s basically just a GPU for video encoding, but it’s done a fantastic job handling everything I’ve thrown at it, and it’s a huge upgrade over a CPU.
You can also post on the c/selfhosted@lemmy.world community (I hope that link works! Here’s another if it didn’t)
The “porn” name should be changed. I never feel comfortable recommending communities that have “porn” in the name. Maybe something like “spacepics” could work?
