I can’t believe the negativity coming from the /r/startrek community regarding the blackout and the idea of switching to Lemmy. Forging a new brighter future free of corporate control should fit into the Star Trek ideals of every fan.
There are also free ones, BUT they’re a lot harder to get into, and a lot of times don’t have as much content or aren’t managed as well. They do exist if you’re patient though, I managed to get into a pretty good one a while back.
Honestly, the people focus is what always put me off both Twitter and Mastodon. I want a focus on topics, not people. Everyone who can contribute something in a decent tone is welcome to the discussion but who is discussing things doesn’t really matter.
For that reason I don’t really like the term Peopleverse or even using Fediverse when you just mean the threaded conversation parts of it.
I want as little to do with the people focussed social media models like Facebooks, Instragram, Twitter,…
Probably because they tie it to their own personal self-image or self-worth. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, downvotes are virtual and don’t mean a thing in the real world.
But people give it value, therefore it does have meaning in the real world. The act generates a feeling in someone, and it says “I don’t like what you just said.” People want to be liked.
Honestly if you're just starting out, straight up use your existing computer, plug that HDD in, load her up and just follow the instructions or a guide to set it up. Wait to see how much you use it before spending cash.
A recommendation however: Due to how Pokemon is and how Plex's two available metadata sources (TVDB and TMDB) categorize and lay the show out differently, make sure when you are getting the episodes in Plex that you have the TV show matched to TMDB (TheMovieDataBase), not TVDB (TheTVDataBase). Both have the show, but TVDB lumps a lot of the later seasons/series together, whereas TMDB will keep them separate as the correct seasons.
For me it’s because all these companies hate Linux for some reason. I have Amazon prime, Hulu, HBO max, and Apple TV, but they would only show sd if I’m on Linux.
Lol on a serious note though, if it takes too much of your time, you might want to consider some additional activities for spending your time :) your mental health is much more important than Lemmy ^
I don’t know if lemmy supports sub-paths, I’ve never seen a lemmy hosted at one though. If it doesn’t nginx definitely supports vhosts. So a single server/vm/container can definitely respond both at my.host.com and lemmy.host.com with appropriate content.
I’ve used podman on an RHEL server at work because it works nicely with selinux. I had a hell of a time with rootless containers and network throughput when using an nginx reverse proxy. Made the site painfully slow. Turned out it was due to the slirp4netns rootless networking and MTU size. Just decided to say screw the rootless thing and went rootfull. Next time honestly would just use docker since it’s more common
That’s by design, isn’t it? Dominate the market while operating at a loss then monetize once you have attained monopoly. Like Uber’s strategy. This is an awful way of conducting a business IMHO, it falsifies the economy. I honestly believe they should put severe regulations on this.
It is a strategy that works when interest rates are 0%, and the 2008 recession was so bad that the IS Fed kept interest rates low until 2021.
Redo the math at 5% interest rates today and 13 years of $1 Billion investment needs to make $1.8 billion just to break even. Money losing strategies are nerfed in this new meta.
