Thanks, I remember seeing it some time ago, but it’s a bit hard to really identify how much the Lemmy instance exactly costs

I’ve been lucky enough to dumb guy my fedora install since 28, and it’s been pretty decent to me. Granted I’m not using nvidia graphics, and I feel like that could throw a big spanner in the works for regular users. It’s a big enough leap getting into the mindset of installing software from Distro repos rather than directly from the vendor.

I hope the newer nv open kernel modules don’t stay out of tree. Also hope that NVK will give users the ability to just plug and play with mesa drivers in the future.

Maybe it’s time to return the favor.

I wonder if Russians are aware of the ways Putin enriches himself off of Russian poverty and suffering. Let’s make sure they know how to solve that problem.

“Maybe it’s time”…as if we aren’t already? Lol

What do you think the entire purpose of the CIA is? And radio free Europe?

InvertedParallax ,

They aren’t but they don’t care.

You can’t comprehend how psychologically broken Russians are, they’ve had centuries of lies with 0 truth, they just learned to accept whatever, because they know the alternative could always be a gunshot (or open window nowadays).

flamingos , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

Feddit.uk makes our finances public, about £35 a month. So about £0.11 per active user.

Also, I run sappho.social out of a £5 a month VPS.

5714 ,

From the comments I see, feddit.uk seems to have the lowest unit costs with 11 pennce.

general_kitten , to science_memes in Blood Meal

In many cultures blood, sometimes dried is used in cooking.

For example blood sausage and blood pancakes are eaten in finland

Ignot ,

Sweden, Ireland, France, Spain and Italy also use them for sausage-like products (these I know of, I’m sure there’s more)

CaptainSpaceman , to linux in [Unpopular opinion] Linux is not a good choice for regular users

Is Linux perfect? No

Is windows better than linux? No

Is mac better than windows? No

Are your specific issues a reason normal users shouldnt use Linux? No

AlligatorBlizzard ,

I’m going to disagree with you on the “is Mac better than Windows” front - I think there’s good arguments either way though. At least with a Mac, the end user is still, mostly, who they are designing for. On Windows the end user is becoming the product.

moreeni ,

Fr, Mac does a much better job at serving their target users than Windows will (likely) ever do

CaptainSpaceman ,

Both products have flaws I dont like, so im ok with either stance tbh.

fart_pickle OP ,

Are your specific issues a reason normal users shouldnt use Linux? No

I cannot agree. Most of the users would be upset about bluetooth dropping connection or constant issues after running updates.

CaptainSpaceman ,

Thats literally happened to me on mac and windows both

astro_ray ,

But, are most of the users getting this Bluetooth problem? Has it occurred to you that that maybe this could be a you problem rather than a general user problem?

Thaurin ,

I’m getting these issues on Windows as well, to be fair.

friend_of_satan , to showerthoughts in It's called a wedding ring, but surely it should be called a marriage ring

A wearer of an engagement ring receives it when they become engaged, and a wearer of a wedding ring receives it when they wed. Seems pretty consistent to me.

givesomefucks ,

Yeah, you get it at the event.

OP is acting like a birthday gift is only a birthday gift on someone’s birthday…

SkyNTP ,

Your logic is sound, but backwards.

Marriage is more analogous to a birthday. (A personal change in status)

Wedding is more analogous to a birthday party (i.e. the event celebrating the change in status).

As you pointed out in your logic, the birthday gift isn’t really about the birthday party, just like the ring doesn’t commemorate the wedding celebration, it commemorates your new marital status.

Unless of course you are the kind of person that is so focused on the wedding celebration that you forget the reason why you are celebrating to begin with (spoiler: you are making a commitment and entering a new life stage).

I think OP is on to something.

lenuup ,

A wedding ring shows that you are wed. Just like an engagement ring shows that your engaged. A wedding is an event, being wed is a change in status. The logic is sound. Confusion only enters the mix, because ‘being wed’ is less common as a phrase than ‘being married’.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

I dunno, doesn’t seem like toe rings and cock follow the same naming convention.

lord_ryvan ,

Finger rings don’t, either. Not when they’re called that.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

Oh yeah, and pinky rings!

At least onion rings are honest.

JohnnyCanuck ,
@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

You get three rings at the shocking. The one for the pinky is called the “stinker ring”

sxan ,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Your logic makes sense. To OP’s point, though, you wear an engagement ring to show that you are engaged; a wedding ring to display you are married/wed. The argument for it being called when you receive it is weakened by the fact that most people remove their rings when an engagement is broken, or they get divorced. Or, they move the ring to a different finger, at which point it’s no longer an engagement or wedding ring, right? It’s just a ring.

If the rings were named after the event of reception, they’d still be called wedding and engagement rings even after a broken relationship. They’re “was” rings; ex-wedding-rings. No longer engagement rings.

So the more I think about it, the more I’m with OP - the rings represent a state, and so wedding rings should be called “marriage” rings to represent the state of being engaged/married, rather than the singular event of the giving.

Mwallerby OP ,
@Mwallerby@startrek.website avatar

I get that, but also, it’s always seemed like the purpose of the ring is to signify the state of being, so engagement ring to show the state of being engaged, wedding ring shows the state of being married, or wed, I guess it works both ways

Not a strongly held view by any means 😆

iso , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?
@iso@lemy.lol avatar

About $50 monthly for server, backups, image hosting, mails etc.

troed , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?
@troed@fedia.io avatar

@seb publishes the costs for ioc.exchange:

Servers are hosted at Linode and hosting costs are around $300/month.
Media files are hosted in AWS S3 and the costs are around $50/month.
So in total our running costs are about $350/month.

Unfortunately the donations still don't cover it.

This is your regular reminder that our hosting costs are roughly $350 per month.
In the last 30 days you all have contributed $216. Thank you very much for everyone who has contributed - You are awesome!

5 bucks per month per active user sounds excessively expensive, no?

Yeah I think you got the numbers crossed there :D

Shit. I'm gonna turn my alarm off and get some proper sleep the next days...

I know there is logic and mapping of where everything’s supposed to be in theory but in practice s***'s kind of all over the place.

kalleboo ,

The logic was just that when UNIX was originally evolving, they ran out of disk space on their PDP-11 and had to start moving less-essential binaries to a different disk. That’s why it’s “/usr/” which was originally for user data but that disk happened to have free space.

Any other explanation is just retcon. Some distros try to simplify things.

You have to chisel it out. Then you can sell it at Earthbound Trading Co.

Lemmy.zip stats can be found here: Lemmy.zip

Our Admin gives us a monthly report. We are at 54$ while visitor count, rewlquest count can be seen at the report.

Blaze OP ,

$54/504, so around $0.11 per user

Yes about 0.10$ per user. But we know only a few pay a bit more. Look at the open collective link on the post
