Despite all my good intentions my pain levels are really bad right now. Not sure if it the heat or if my body is just reminding me that it doesn’t have to use my stomach to make me miserable.
As such, I will be stuck inside today, if I attempt to get sunscreen between my shoulders I this state I might end up in A&E. Wish the cricket were starting today instead of tomorrow, that would be a perfect excuse to not move at all. Also, I have some “ripen at home” plums I bought three weeks ago, they would be perfect for the nets…
Obviously don’t know your circumstances, but living with pain of any sort is just so demoralising! Have you tried the likes of Sapphire Medical Clinics etc for prescribed cannabis meds? I get prescribed actual weed but also a tincture of 20mg/ml THC and 20mg/ml CBD and the stuff is a god send for my wife’s rheumatoid arthritis. It’s something like 50 quid for the intial consultation, and then 50 quid every 3 months for a check up consultation. Tincture is 30ml for £100 and that lasts the whole month.

You know how discord has multiple servers?
Now imagine if those servers where actually owned by a person (self-hosted), and each server could connect with the other servers, so you can see content on whatever server you are.
For reddit folks - imagine there are 10 different reddits with all of their own individual subreddits. You have the ability to only view and comment on yours, but also can look and comments on all of those others ones if you want to.
I tried searching for a community when I first joined lemmy, admittedly that was only a couple days ago. However, I couldn’t find one. I think I struggle the most with this part of lemmy. The finding of communities feels a bit cumbersome to me and could be an area to improve upon. Don’t get me wrong, never going back to the sinking ship of Reddit. Thank you for sharing the link!
Yeah it’s a tricky one to fix because the federated nature of everything means there’s probably no instance that has every possible community indexed in search.
That’s where tools like browse.feddit.de come in but that’s a little bit finicky too and I’m not sure how things get indexed there.
Saw someone was building a more advanced search interface yesterday but I can’t remember the URL now, it looked promising though so will come back and update you when I find it!
P.s I didn’t post the link as some kind of passive aggressive thing I just thought you’d like to see it 😄
I am a big fan of “mini desktop” computers for this sort of task (my lemmy instance is running on one). You can usually pick them up used/refurbished for pretty cheap with decent specs: i5 or better processors, upgradeable RAM (SO-DIMM), M.2 or 2.5in SSD. They are quite small, and relatively low power. I have a few in my homelab, and one acting as my media-center PC in my living room.
You’re right, just having one mini-pc with Proxmox and being able scale VMs between applications is a lot better than a collection of sbc’s. I will look at the used market.
Loved the episod! Ethan Peck owned it and now I can’t wait to see even more of Carol Kane’s character.
I am curious though, are the writers hinting at a future “Jekyll & Hyde” plot line when it comes to M’Benga and that green battle juice that he apparently keeps with himself at all times?
My thought is that his plotline this season might include some resolution of Klingon War era trauma, of which we’ve been told just a little bit in this episode, and which brings him to carry the super soldier serum on him.
2gb will be limiting, and the database will kill SD cards quickly (like, a couple weeks kind of quickly) However if it’s just you and <100 other people it will not be stressed otherwise
For little computers like the Pi and its clones, I’d recommend using a SATA SSD via USB rather than an SD card, unless your use case has very few writes. I’d recommend this cable: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XLAZODE/. It’s one of the ones that’s well supported by the Pi, and is what I use.
Edit: I recommended a SATA SSD rather than NVMe because you won’t really notice a major difference over USB, and some NVMe drives pull more power than the Pi’s USB ports can handle (SATA uses quite a bit less power).
Seems like storage use is quite intense, and RAM usage exceeds the 150MB that the docs mention too. For storage, I would probably try to use a cloud option (AWS S3?) to prevent having to replace/add disks all the time.
Although it’s starting to look like more and more of a hassle and not that much benefit so far.
The instance you sign up on doesn’t really matter. For technical people, the server you sign in on, can be important, but for the average user it doesn’t. In fact, you could make an account on mastodon.social and comment on this very thread. That’s pretty much the goal of federation.
This feels disingenous to say. Each community has its own rules and culture, which you may agree or disagree with. Beyond that, there’s the matter of trust as the instance admin holds everything on their server. This isn’t even getting into the whole mess of defederation. like with Beehaw, who seems intent on forming an isolative culture despite having some of the largest communities on the site.
I believe it will improve over time as the Fediverse matures and grows to handle larger loads and less techy people, but I think saying that to people will do more harm than good. A lot of the newer people have been reasonably freaking out in response to losing access to several large communities they frequented because they were told “instance doesn’t matter”, when quite frankly it does at the moment.
Entirely fair, we are in the midst of significant drama between the reddit burndown, and the infancy of the lemmy platform as a whole. For someone wanting to talk to people, and get their feet wet in the fediverse, I think its reasonable to say that the server doesn’t matter. Once you have used the platform, and know what you want then exploring the options is highly encouraged. The exact circumstances of server federation will absolutely change, probably a lot, in the near future.
I treat it akin to someone saying “I want to learn how to play guitar.” I think reasoanble advice is get a cheap used guitar and start learning cords. Once you know if you plan on sticking with it more than a few weeks, go right ahead and start looking at better equipment. I don’t think expecting someone at this stage to start taking musical theory is the best advice. Maybe that is a weak argument, but I don’t think its entirely wrong.
Nah, I get it. I expect it to be a much better situation as the platform matures, but right now it’s really hard. Just like Mastodon, Lemmy will have to go through a ton of growing pains to meet the demands of a rapidly growing userbase. Hopefully we as a community can make this a much better situation for newbies going forward.
Maybe, but I doubt enough instances are gonna go follow the beehaw route for that to take off. The only issue is that Beehaw had a ton of really big general communities that were used by a lot of people on other instances.
I moved from aussie.zone to lemmy.world already to get around federation issues.
Now beehaw.org has stopped federating with lemmy.world 🤷♂️
I don’t want to have half a dozen accounts so that I can access all the niches of this system, and yet it’s beggining to look like the dream of federation is stillborn.
Yea. I feel like Beehaw cutting a lot of the larger general communities out from two of the biggest instances is highlighting early a major hurdle that’s gonna make the whole fediverse thing difficult to get a lot of people on board with. I don’t want to have to keep making new accounts to access stuff, but like… half of the communities I had subscribed to are just gone now because the admins over there decided they don’t want to play with anyone else, I guess.
To be fair, that's how things used to be on the internet. You'd sign up for various forums or message boards with different accounts. Then it all became consolidated under one roof, and message boards started dying. What's happening with reddit now shows the danger of that.
I have watched this show so many times. I could just close my eyes with the audio in the background narrating the scenes as I replay them in my mind. It would put me right to sleep haha. Almost like someone reading me my favorite bedtime story as a kid. I think the subreddit had 20k+ members before Reddit died. So we are definitely not alone.
This is great, I subbed. I am trying to setup a server dedicated to motorcycling (r/motorcycles etc). Really like that we can setup specialty sites. Usenet 2.0
