ratamacue , to youshouldknow in YSK there are sites that offer you a temporary email address for signing up for services that require one (like some Lemmy servers)
@ratamacue@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Another option: Gmail supports the “+” operator. If your email address is: [email protected]

You can use an email like [email protected]

To sign up for eBay. Now you can filter all of the garbage sent to that address easily! Bonus, you get to see who’s selling your data which is always frustrating and entertaining.

This is the reason I’ve never used discord outside voice chatting with friends a few times per month.

A basic photo from my phone is over the file size limit. It’s essentially unusable, and I’m not going to get me and my friends and family to all pay a subscription for a feature literally every other chat app provides for free. Sorry.

JeffCraig ,

I have supported Discord with a nitro subscription for as long as I’ve had an account. It’s a terrific program and there’s no reason to expect premium features for nothing in return. The mentality that everything should be free is why we have so many fucking ad driven online business models and I’m over it. I pay for what I use if it’s a good service.

kittyrunningnoise ,

it’s amazing that you’ve been downvoted for saying you pay for a service you use that’s not ad-riddled junk. how else do people expect these entities to make money that pays for servers, employees, etc.? someone operates the hardware and it’s not free.

ThEgg ,

Discord’s monetary scheme is so backwards. Pay to be able to upload a file greater than 8 MB… up to 100 MB. Pay to be able to upload and use animated emojis, pay to be able to use emojis from other channels. These are not features worth paying for.

teamchuckles ,

What would you suggest Discords monetization system be instead?

Thank you for this, looks good!

DevoidWisdom , to selfhosted in Raspberry Pi - Arch Linux or Raspberry Pi OS

I’ve used raspberry pi os and shortly arch arm, both work ok. I remeber having an issue with some python packages on arch arm, but thats it. Personally I chose Debian testing for my headless pi4 and have been happy. It’s running Syncthing, Mariadb, a few python scripts to pull data from pi pico-w. FTP server for IP cameras recording, Pydio, Pihole, and Gitea.

@Dark_Arc@lemmy.world avatar

I prefer ZeroTier, I’m not sure why Tailscale has taken off so much in recent years (perhaps just the cleaner UI and better marketing).

@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Well, it won’t be supported by governments – the tax dollars they lose are nothing compared to the communication they no longer control.

That aside, most regular folks want something easy and established before they’ll use it. I think that’s the main issue to entry of FOSS stuff for people who aren’t otherwise engaged in the ecosystem. Lemmy got an unusual leg up from the implosion of reddit.

ExistensialDread , to selfhosted in If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?

Probably splurge just a bit more for CMR hard drives in my ZFS setup. I’ve had some pretty scary moments in my current setup.

TrinityTek OP , to selfhosted in Anyone hosting Lemmy and Mastodon on the same server?

Thanks for talking through it with me, everyone. I got it working with a Docker compose install of Lemmy and a non-Docker Mastodon install. Reverse proxy was configured manually in nginx. Mastodon.fdr8.us and Lemmy.fdr8.us are now live! I have some fine tuning to do still and a lot of setup, but I’m happy that they are working. Cheers!

lemmy ,

Curious, what’s the reason for one in docker and one not?

TrinityTek OP ,

I didn’t plan it that way. I installed Mastodon first and didn’t use a Docker install. I configured Nginx and reverse proxy and then tried a non-Docker Lemmy install from scratch. That failed, and I believe the reason was some minor version differences in the dependencies. That’s when I asked for advice and got a few recommendations to try the Lemmy Easy Deployment script. I would prefer to have done the from scratch install if there was current documentation and dependencies were available, but if there is I wasn’t finding it. The Docker compose Lemmy install method worked well enough though so I’m happy with that.

lemmy ,

Ah, I know what you mean. I managed to get them both setup in docker containers on the same server, but I’ll admit getting Lemmy up was a pain. The documentation is vague on some steps, but it’s FOSS so I can’t complain.

  • Here is my pastebin with notes for my Lemmy docker compose which is modified from their example. You’ll notice it has an nginx web service. You can technically forego that and put it in your final reverse proxy, but I chose not to so that it stays similar to their example.
  • For Mastodon, I am using the Linuxserver container. Their documentation is straightforward IMO, but then again I’m used to their setup.
  • With the two ports exposed for both services, you can then put it behind a reverse proxy.

Hope this helps!

Shhh just enjoy the discourse and say hello to the new folks
