How does having multiple lemmy servers spread the load?
Basically, I have read several statements addressing this topic. For example:...
How does domain names work?
Who determines who owns a domain name? International organization? Do unrecognized countries also get their own top-level domain? If someone or some organization wanted to register a website for highly illegal activities (terrorism, crime organizations, etc) who has the authority to shut them down? Does one government has the...
A note to MicroSD card makers: I would pay an extra dollar for a card without an adapter.
I’m not saying nobody needs an adapter. Just that some of us have way too many already.
Having all your memories of something good wiped completely is better than never being allowed to experience it again.
EDIT: I don’t think I conveyed what I meant well enough in the post. I was talking about something like, say, reading. It’s my favorite hobby. If I was forced to never read again, I’d be absolutely miserable. But if I completely forgot about reading, there wouldn’t exactly be anything to miss.

Are all these thousands of lemmy servers useless?
Correct me if I’m wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I’m a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache and the ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network...

Pretty much what the title says, I was wondering, since I want to invest on self hosting applications and my raspberry pi 3 b+ can barely function.
