I removed Sync from my phone homescreen and the reddit link on my browser bar.
Currently wondering how I’ll see who else is too hot and if Celtic appoint a new manager (which makes me think someone needs to start a lemmy.scot instance for things like Scottish football…)
I was thinking of creating a Scottish lemmy instance, but someone seems to have bought both lemmy.scot and feddit.scot domains. I hope they actually do something with them, but seeing they have bought both of them, it doesn’t seem promising. Any other .scot domain ideas would be nice.
Every server just has a cache … there is no profit for the whole network …
I wouldn’t say that caching is no profit. Yesterday there were several times when lemmy.ml was struggling or effectively down for some people, but despite complaints over there I could read lemmy.ml communities just fine through my instance. Caching meant that I was isolated from the service interruption, and the lemmy.ml server was isolated from my contribution to its load.
As I said, there is no profit from empty instances. Of course, the federation itself is good and fail-proof in this way. But if nobody asks for this cache, it’s just an Internet Archive of a sort.
It only takes one user for an instance to not be empty. Every bit of decentralisation adds resilience to the whole. But more decentralisation adds more resilience, so let’s try to spread out the communities and users.
Think of an email address. Accessing a community is like accessing an email address (that’s why communities have handles @ a server.
So unlike Reddit where you could have r/memes in the Fediverse you can have [email protected] or [email protected] each host can host a bunch of communities and a bunch of users and we all connect to one another in a similar way that email works.
The plus side of this is that no single company has all the power like a walled garden, rather the whole system functions in a decentralised manner. It is also run open source by a community of developers. So while the whole system works in a very similar way to Reddit, you cant just search for the official memes community, rather you can subscribe to many, some may be large and some may be small and niche. Hopefully the downsides of this will get ironed out, organising communities into super communities or sorting by tag or something, but on the bright side, being open source and decentralised, development of Lemmy will likely proceed at a rapid pace and soon catch up and overtake corporate sites in useability, as they increasingly look to stifle useability and freedom for profit.
So if I have an account on lemmy.world, can I post on lemmy.ml without creating an account there? If not, I don’t understand how all the instances “communicate” if I have to have multiple accounts to interact with each one.
A lemmy.world user can make posts on lemmy.ml and vice versa. You don’t need to be a member of the one you post to, but you need to be a member of any one of the federated instances. You can even start your own instance and be the only member on it if you like.
Sonarr with nzb360 to manage it. Completely hands-free, couldn’t be easier to use once it’s set up.
If you don’t have your own hosting, search for “seedbox” hosting - there are plenty of great, relatively cheap options. I picked a hosting option which had the above apps already set up and ready to go, which made the whole thing seamless.
Instead of using a server, you can run Sonarr on your Windows desktop and have it provide the content directly to a local Plex.
You’re looking for Overseer/Radar/Sonarr/Prowlarr and whatever the subtitle one is. TRaSH guides are helpful for setting it up. This all means you need a server and enough storage to hold all of this.
My wife’s away in Corfu this week with her mother, so I took the executive decision to book today off work. Bloody glad I did, because it’s glorious.
Got a few bits to do around the house this morning, then I’m going to spend the afternoon in garden, under the gazebo with a series of cold drinks doing a bit of studying.
I can highly recommend basically anything written by Brandon Sanderson, especially the Cosmere series. It consists of a lot of books (and many on the way), that describe multiple worlds. What makes his books special is the way magic is integrated into the world. It’s not just 14th century Europe with wizards here and there, magic makes an impact on the society in a way that’s realistic. His books are easy to read, with a few exceptions (more on that below).
As for what to start with, I’d recommend two series:
Mistborn - a series revolving around a dystopian world. The first book in the series is somewhat a fantasy heist story. Easy to read, though you can tell it’s one of the earlier Brandon’s books, his style of writing improves in time.
Stormlight Archives - this is the series Brandon outdid himself TBH. The world is at the very alien, but in a way that makes sense. The books suck you in and don’t let go, making you want know more about the world and the characters. Be wary though, getting through the first few chapters takes some determination, as it starts slowly. And since the world is very different to our own, some words don’t make sense at start, which can be slightly offputting. But getting through the first chapters is worth it.
Hey friend, I know it has been a while. Just wanted to let you know that I have been reading the first Mistborn book (The final empire) and I have been enjoying it a lot. I think this is the first time I’m actually looking forward to my reading session so I can find out what is happening next.
I may have accidentally stayed up all night to watch the meltdown and am now dead. Worth it to be there for the moment /r/funny went offline though (at like 5am, omg I am too old for this sort of thing!)
Today is gonna be rough, I have to somehow perk up enough to record a YT video and seem like I’m happy about it.
Currently… Slackware on main laptop. Slint (Slackware-based) on mini-pc. MX Linux (fvwm respin), Void, and OpenBSD on old laptop. NsCDE is desktop on all except MX.
If I create a link with the target /c/[email protected] like this, I think that gives a relative link that works across instances which may work in the Jerboa app. Any luck?
Edit: no it doesn’t, sorry, but that should help people on the web version who aren’t on feddit.uk.
OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban)
Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
Jellyfin
Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
ddclient
Heimdall
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
I’ve gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD
