In this case I think he doesn’t understand cloud hosting at all, so he doesn’t see the cost making sense. If you don’t value something, the pricetag seems ridiculous and you won’t even consider paying it. He will probably realize the mistake eventually.

Neither one is likeable. You are going to have people who would normally vote for either party who don’t like their candidate, or the other sides candidate. It is a recipe for massive numbers of people not wanting this matchup.

So lemmy/kbin doesn’t feel the same yet. A lot of the content I viewed on reddit, just isn’t here in the same way. I think when the api changes take affect, we will see many more people making the switch as in a lot of subs, the content is posted via api when scrapeing other sources. That mixed with changes in moderation will be catalysts to people moving here full time. I also think there still needs to be some work on the interface. Even the best run instances don’t have the same look and feel of reddit. If something feels different, people will resist it no matter how much they want to like it. As much as some people may have thought it would be, this is not an overnight migration.

As the costs to run/win go up, the expected return is greater.

jokes like this are how he rose to power. best to ignore him and treat him like the annoying terrible person he is.

I think food in general has been doing this for a long time. Over time companies are switching out more expensive ingredients for cheaper ones that are close enough and as a result over time, food tastes different. It is part of the reason why many people try and avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup. It is much cheaper than sugar, and certainly changes the flavor of the things it is in compared to regular sugar.

This is the same sort of thing they use for the scanpyramids project right? They detected a large void in The great Pyramid but have not yet confirmed it is there. They are fairly sure the scan is accurate as they also detected another void that has since been confirmed. It is kinda cool.

Edit:

"By comparison, muons have been making headlines in recent years for their ability to help us look deep inside volcanoes, peek through pyramids and see inside cyclones. Muons fall constantly and frequently around the world (about 10,000 per square meter per minute) and can’t be tampered with. "

Spose If I had jut read this bit, I would have my answer. Cool stuff :)

Might want to create a git repo for this (maybe other themes) and get it converted to a full fledged theme for lemmy. I tacked your changes onto the end of the darkly-red theme and seems to look nice. I was just too lazy to remove the bits from the original theme. A git repo would be good though since a lot of the responses suggest coming back for updates. Git will let people know if there is a change and they can see what they are as they change.

I ran into some dependency issues(needed to install ansible-collection-community-docker on my fedora workstation), but after that it ran fine and installed everything first run. I made some adjustments to the inventory config afterwards, but aside from that it just worked.

I think this is one of the more sensible answers here. If your workstation is windows, then utilize WSL for ansible and deploy onto a ubuntu or debian host (I’m assuming it works fine on debian, I used ubuntu). You might run into some issues with ansible dependencies as the readme doesn’t seem to cover everything from what i remember, but once ansible works and has the correct configs, deployment is super easy.

The ansible playbook just deploys docker containers. It does nginx proxy config, deploys the docker software, and then creates the compose file and deploys the containers. The reality is the ansible deploy and docker deploy both use docker. The ansible playbook just does more of everything all at once in an automated way.

My process is similar, but i don’t use the !ommunity@instance format. I just copy the url and search for it.

Search: “https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted”

it will initially return Nothing found but after another second, it shows up and i can click it and then subscribe to get new posts and comments.

Of course, the real test will be when it comes time to update to the next Lemmy version…

it is easy enough. Simply run the playbook again. well, git pull the ansible playbook again and then run it. alternatively you can just use docker compose now on your lemmy server. I made some aliases on my lemmy instance based on what i use elsewhere. I think I got them from a linuxserver.io tutorial ages ago. you will need to adjust the container versions for this to be viable as the version is hardcoded and they only have a “latest” tag for arm.

alias dckill=‘docker kill $(docker ps -q)’

alias dclogs='docker-compose -f /srv/lemmy/lemmy.domain/docker-compose.yml logs -tf --tail=“50” ’

alias dcpull=‘docker-compose -f /srv/lemmy/lemmy.domain/docker-compose.yml pull’

Another distro doesn’t magically fix difficulty for a custom setup. You can checkout other distros and see if maybe you like how they are laid out and how their package managers work, but the general config portion of deploying your apps is going to be the same regardless. Something to consider is how are you getting help for your setup? Is it some content creator you follow who generally does their videos/guides on ubuntu so that is how you figured everything out? Do you have friends or family who use it? If your source of knowledge and help is familiar with ubuntu, it is best to stick with it so you continue to have that resource. I can fumble around most distros, but if you want specific help, you are much better off asking me about specific issues inside an RPM based distro. I imagine others are similar in that they have generally applicable knowledge and a huge amount of specific distro knowledge since that is generally what they use.

I’m using fedora for my main workstation at home. most of my servers are run on almalinux but I do have a few that are ubuntu and proxmox for virtualization. At work we only use and support RHEL.
