SheeEttin , to selfhosted in What are your offsite backup solutions

Honestly, I don’t. The vast majority of my data is just stuff like Linux ISOs that I could download again. Important documents and stuff like that take up so little space that I just keep them in Google Drive. Most of my personal project work is on GitHub. And while neither of those are technically backups, it’s not a tragic loss if I accidentally delete everything.

Freesoftwareenjoyer ,

Do you at least encrypt those documents?

I wrote a small guide here. lemmy.death916.xyz/post/3068

But suffice to say their docker compose sux and requires some tweaking. I got mine running behind nginx proxy manager on a remote host

ChaosAD OP ,

Thanks! I just tried the docker-compose.yml you shared and I am getting the follwoing error:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">

If you’re not using arm remove the arm tags. Not sure about the network issue as u should be able to declare networks in compose easily. Id check if some formatting got messed up in copying it over as the yaml is usually whitespace sensitive. Is there more to the pictrs error because that image is pretty basic and jus pulls it doen

ChaosAD OP ,

I added the version line and it did the trick

version: “3.7”

nice glad to hear it.

ChaosAD OP ,

are you using nginx? I am trying with caddy (because I already use it with other apps) but I can’t access, do you have some idea how I could debug where the issue is?

gist.github.com/…/0da841d45923cded1e479427f1cde6e…

this is the nginx conf i used sinc elemmy used nginx for the server in the container. then in nginx proxy manager had to add locations for /pictrs /api /pictrs

/feeds

/nodeinfo

Furbag , to nostupidquestions in Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

All these companies have done about as much growing as they can. I remember listening to the radio on my drive to work a year or two ago, and they were talking about how Facebook had done internal research and concluded that they had captured something like 95% of the possible user demographics, meaning that they were unlikely to be able to reach new customers because either you have Facebook and you use it, or you’ve already heard of it and you don’t want it/don’t use it anymore.

It was interesting, because Facebook/Meta, like Twitter, Reddit, Discord and Tumblr are all for-profit companies that exist to make money, and yet, the expectation of infinite growth from the market never ceases. There will never be a time when the company has grown “enough”. Enter the short-term smash-and-grab strategies. The idea is that they know that their business model has peaked in terms of growth and profit and they now need to extract value from the company before the market catches up to that fact. Social media is inherently unprofitable. Nobody wants to actually pay for it, and they do not produce a product, so eventually once the ad revenue has reached critical mass, the users become the product and are essentially ransomed off. Reddit just tried to pass the buck onto the 3rd party app developers rather than the users, but since the API restrictions affects regular users as much as it does developers, it had the same effect.

Suffice to say, unless you are a member of a social media platform that is a non profit, this is going to keep happening. Even if you land on a site that prides themselves on being excellent stewards of their company and never prioritize profits and growth over stability and customer satisfaction, eventually they will be forced to make a decision - lose a lot of money or lose some customers. The answer, sadly, is all too obvious to them by now.

Zeth0s ,

Do anyone knows how lemmy survive? Are we a product?

dragontamer ,

Good news.

Computers are much cheaper and text is very low bandwidth. A $100/month server will be able to host a large chunk of us, and donations will likely be able to cover these meager costs.

Without a need to grow exponentially, we can mostly sit happy on single physical server and $100/month (or so) independent instances.

No need to build $million+ data centers like the big boys. We can take advantage of our small size instead.

Zeth0s ,

Thanks

poVoq , to selfhosted in Running Lemmy on Yunohost
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

If I understood it correctly, they were waiting for the new Bookworm Debian release to be released before updating some of the packages. So if you can wait a bit (a few weeks maybe?) a newer version of Lemmy will be probably added to Yunohost.

jonno ,

What do you mean? Is yunohost planning on rebasing their release off bookworm? Because bookworm was released on the10th

makr_alland ,

Yes, that’s the plan. The update from 9 to 10 was really easy, the only problem I got was some Python apps which needed a manual pip refresh, but the instructions were all there.

AFAIK, Yunohost on bookworm is already in testing but it’ll be released when the devs feel the update is working correctly.

CandidCamel , to gaming in Casual game recommendations?

Dorfromantik is a very chill puzzle game that runs great on Steam Deck if that’s your thing, a favourite of mine while the TV is going in the background.

If you’re into factory games I 1000% recommend Shapez, which is a shape-building game that doesn’t have the notion of grinding or currency or running out of resources. It’s immensely satisfying when you get the perfect mechanism together and you’re churning out shapes. Definitely one for mouse and keyboard though.

Definitely recommend Dorfromantik! Islanders is another super chill casual game (and also a builder) that I started and fell in love with the other day.

jclinares , to nostupidquestions in Noodles: is a tamale a noodle?
@jclinares@kbin.social avatar

As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It's not stupid (that doesn't exist in this community), it's just disturbing xD

No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don't have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It's like asking if ravioli is a noodle.

1024_Kibibytes ,

As someone from the U.S. who grew up eating Mexican food in Texas, I agree. It is disturbing. The filling is very important to a tamal. They aren't bendy or thin either. Noodles are thin and bendy

exterstellar , to nostupidquestions in Noodles: is a tamale a noodle?

Technically, a tamale is a calzone according to the cube rule.

bizzle ,
@bizzle@lemmy.world avatar

I understand the cube rule, I just don’t think I can really subscribe to it. Calling a bowl of lucky charms nachos is inaccurate, it’s clearly a soup.

glomag ,

Exactly, cube rule is inconsistent and needlessly complicated. Both are salads

Does this mean I can get thin crust tamales in New York, and grease death tamales in Chicago

kadu , to nostupidquestions in What does the term "Troll" or "Trolling" actually mean on social media sites like Reddit and Lemmy?
@kadu@lemmy.world avatar

A troll is someone not using the platform in good faith, but instead trying to fish some type of negative reaction or result.

On a social media platform like Lemmy, a troll could be someone creating fights, baiting people with insults or fabrications, spreading misinformation purposely, adding links to content that might dangerous or illegal, and so on.

In short, a troll is someone engaging with others with the goal of ruining their experience. In a videogame it could be a team member losing on purpose to annoy others, for example.

PreciousDeclaration OP ,
@PreciousDeclaration@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.

wreel ,
@wreel@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

A little Internet history: the etymology of “troll” in the Internet sense comes from the fishing term “trolling” which is where one moves around the fishing area with bait waiting for fish to hit (or bite). In the old bulletin board days a normal response before engaging with an obviously inflammatory/bad faith post was to start “ok, I’ll bite … [Counter Argument]”

PreciousDeclaration OP ,
@PreciousDeclaration@lemmy.world avatar

That’s really interesting. Thanks for telling me that.

what is ravioli? And, is ravioli a dumpling?

David Chang argues that ravioli are dumplings on .

I’m inclined to agree in that dumplings and ravioli are the same general idea implemented by different culinary traditions.

dustojnikhummer , to nostupidquestions in Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

Because most services we are using aren’t sustainable. They all bleed money.

gpl ,

That’s by design, isn’t it? Dominate the market while operating at a loss then monetize once you have attained monopoly. Like Uber’s strategy. This is an awful way of conducting a business IMHO, it falsifies the economy. I honestly believe they should put severe regulations on this.

dragontamer ,

Ish.

It is a strategy that works when interest rates are 0%, and the 2008 recession was so bad that the IS Fed kept interest rates low until 2021.

Redo the math at 5% interest rates today and 13 years of $1 Billion investment needs to make $1.8 billion just to break even. Money losing strategies are nerfed in this new meta.

PriorProject , to selfhosted in Self hosting lemmy: does it support subpath URLs?

I don’t know if lemmy supports sub-paths, I’ve never seen a lemmy hosted at one though. If it doesn’t nginx definitely supports vhosts. So a single server/vm/container can definitely respond both at my.host.com and lemmy.host.com with appropriate content.

@codus@leby.dev avatar

+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

On the iPad, it’s way better than Mlem. It’s optimized for the larger resolution.
