Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn’t like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn’t even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit… If all of my posts and comments said something like “user moved to lemmy.world” I’d spread the word that there are alternatives.
I just got banned after reporting a fox post on r/politics stating climate change hasn’t made wildfires worse….
Saying I’m abusing the report toon to bully. For reporting one fucking post. Fuck that site. I’m just pissed off I can no longer delete all my comments and posts.
home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.
nginx pm (proxy manager)
octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)
all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It’s fast, and silent, and cheap to run.
on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.
am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!
Can’t speak to OP’s reasons, and I am currently torn whether to switch over to jellyfin or not. I am currently running both Plex and Jellyfin side by side with the same media libraries.
I am annoyed by the fact that Plex requires that you log in and authenticate against Plex’s own servers to view your own media. I know technically you can set up local access if Plex’s servers are not available, but you don’t get user account restrictions, watch history, etc when you are not able to authenticate against Plex’s servers. If I have an experience that is that degraded, then I consider the service useless unless you are able to access Plex’s servers.
Plex’s recommendations are stupid and annoying. I am running Plex because I want an easy way to enjoy my own media. The other night, my wife was looking to watch a TV series that I have on my Plex server, which I have watched from my server in the past. When she searched for it, Plex was attempting to get her to watch the series on Hulu (a service that not only do we not subscribe to, but is not even available in our country). We ended up having to browse our TV Library to find it since no search I did would find it.
Plex’s recent moves toward monitization are concerning. I understand that Plex is a private company and needs to make money. I am not a fan of the way that they appear to be doing it. It seems like Plex likely will (if they are not already) sell search and watch data to the bigger streaming giants. Maybe the gave away too many lifetime Plexpasses?
I really appreciate how reasonable (IMO) the demands are in the stickied comment in that thread.
Honestly it would be a good business move to accept those terms exactly as presented in that stickied comment. Nothing unreasonable is being suggested there.
Spez has told Reddit staff that the blackout “will pass”.
He’s right, it will. And that’s the problem.
A two day blackout means nothing to Spez and Reddit. What it tells them is “we can treat the userbase and developers like shit and they’ll still use our platform for the other 363 days of the year”.
The only thing that will force Reddit to the negotiating table is blacking out indefinitely. Not a single protesting subreddit opens back up until they realise what made the company so attractive to investors in the first place.
There are a couple of subreddits that will go blackout indefinitely. I think r/video is one of them, and it’s quite big. This can be annoying for the platform.
As others mentioned, if any worthwhile subreddit goes dark, then the mods will be replaced and it’ll be brought back.
Creating some noise works only if anyone is listening and willing to respond and enact change. Absolutely not in this scenario. The sad reality is the vocal ones are in the minority in the grand scheme of things. The 50k people leaving is, probably, pocket change and aren’t the ones that the platform is geared towards nowadays.
Blacking out indefinitely won’t change a thing. Reddit has before and will again, if threatened this way, re-open shuttered subs if they believe it is valuable for their bottom line.
Look at the average scene in an MCU movie and see that 90% of it is usually CGI. Extrapolate all those effects across a 120 minute film and add in the price of the top name actors they usually have, and I’m surprised it’s only 350 million.
Surprisingly, yes. Filming on location and all the logistics that go along with that can balloon the cost real fast, especially for multiple locations. (Site fees, travel, talent costs, additional security, a separate crew unit, etc) CGI allows you to create different locations through green screen, which majorly cuts down on a lot of the scheduling/logistics. Sometimes green screen will be just a window, other times it will be literally the entire set.
They’re starting to use sets where, instead of having greenscreen, the walls are giant LED screens where they display the background. This way the director has complete control of what is going on in the scene in the moment. (also, with greenscreen you can get a weird green reflection on the actors that needs to be corrected for).
Agreed. Also their hardware and software integration, long term support, and battery when compared to other flagship phones, although the s23 seems to be on par with iPhones this time around.
Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.
I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.
This is the only way I can read fiction, I can’t connect the words to build a story, also I’m bad with names so I have trouble keeping character stories straight in my mind. For non fiction on technical articles I do not have an issue.
I forget character names too. The X-Ray feature on many Kindle books helps a lot with that. You can just press a character’s name and check back previous references to them.
That is a impossible endeavor. There are countless “news” sites that all push this kind of drivel. If it is anything like YouTube It probably doesn’t even care about your suggestions anyway. I select that I’m not interested in something all the time on YouTube and then they just keep recommending the same channel or the same genre of content.
It will. I’ve been on Reddit 16+ years and I have no itch to return or reopen the app. Meanwhile I’m getting nothing done for work because I have Mastodon, kbin, and lemmy open. The sticky/addictive power is here already.
I’ve been with Reddit for 10 years, and Lemmy feels like what Reddit was around 8-7 years ago. Reddit front page posts used to be in 3-4 digit upvotes max before they changed the vote counting mechanism. Lemmy is already having 3 digit upvoted posts with hundreds of comments. My complaints of Lemmy are purely technical, and hope they get resolved before people get frustrated enough.
I stopped running my own a while ago. Its no longer really decentralized and the big players (google/microsoft) will often just blacklist you for little reason.
That said I DO maintain my own domain and backups. So i can take my email to whatever hosting provider I want.
I also noticed, during the migration, that if you simply register your domain with one of the big players (ie: Google Workspace or M365) you will often get whitelisted and email will flow easier. This was easier when they had a free tier though.
Got the same issue. Everything was setup properly. SPF, dkim, dmarc was all good. Server IP wasn’t in any blocklists. But my messages would still fall in spam with Gmail.
Ended up setting sendgrid as a relay and all is good now.
For future reference, if you find a community that looks dead and you want to take over, you can message the admins of that instance and they’ll look into giving you the community :)
