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 :)
What IT related communities have you found? Keeping up with tech news was one of my primary reasons for keeping in Reddit. I’ve found a few things here, but not a ton. I’ll gladly take any suggestions
It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won’t move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.
Disclaimer: I’m not an optician. I do, however, work in advertising and happen to have a number of clients in the lens manufacturing industry. Take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt.
Short answer is, not really.
Diagnosing vision issues is much more complicated than simply “is it in focus”. The shape of the cornea, how your eye physically reacts to light, distance from an object, and disease all have an impact on how you perceive the world around you. That’s why you have things like aberrations, glares, near sightedness, far sightedness, and a plurality of other vision problems. When someone is fitted for glasses or contact lenses, a number of parameters (read, dozens) are required get what is considered a proper “fit”.
There are some similarities between how a camera lens works and our eyes, but you also have to consider that you’re not just looking through the lens itself, you’re focusing on a screen that’s attached to the lens. So, if you can’t focus your eye sight at the distance the screen is at, it doesn’t matter what the camera is seeing, because it’ll look like garbage to you either way.
I thought the same maybe, but I assumed an actual camera because of context (using the camera’s manual focus and printing out the photo afterwards). @WeirdGoesPro ? Did I misunderstand?
Wikipedia is the 7th most visited website in the world, more popular than Amazon, TikTok, even PornHub. It’s not funded by advertisers or other bullshit - rather through reader donations.
With that said, Wikipedia is still centralized content whereas Lemmy isn’t. Meaning there’s fewer expenses and pressure on any one instance or server to succeed. And if one instance or server doesn’t succeed, your access to the Federation is far from over.
Wikipedia is set up as a nonprofit. They have annual fundraising drives asking their users for money. They also have an endowment and receive grants.
when you donate money, you’re not funding wikipedia’s operating costs. wikipedia itself is self sufficient. what you’re funding instead is the wikimedia foundation- which is set up to not receive grants but to give them.
I’ve been cutting my own hair for nearly 20 years at this point. I’ve seen everything from unintentional chunks ripped out to weirdly blunt shelf-like layers to one side somehow ending up about four inches longer than other to the worst offender of all…that time I thought I might suit a fringe.
But you know what, I look back on photos from those times and laugh at the memories. It’s hair, it grows back, and not many women ever even find out whether we can pull off a buzzcut so congrats to your wife because the Ripley look is cool af.
She’s only been cutting her own hair since the pandemic, and she’s gotten pretty decent at it. Usually, that is! I even let her cut my flowing locks a few weeks ago and I’m well chuffed with the results.
Nice! Saves a ton of money apart from anything else, plus it’s fun. Let her know how good she looks (because I’m sure she does) and just treat it like a fun opportunity to experiment with styles as it grows back out. Assuming she doesn’t get attached to it like this, of course!
Depends on Load. Realistically, one of the used “Mini PC’s” from Lenovo or HP with an i5 and integrated graphics should be decent for a couple of concurrent streams. They are pretty cheap on ebay. You could even get 3 or 4 and cluster them in some form. But most SBCs won’t work too well since transcoding needs a decent GPU of some sort.

Second this. I downsized from a couple of heavyweight enterprise servers to a handful of USFF Dell Optiplexes for the bulk of my self-hosted applications. I also have a stack of upgraded thin clients that run my smaller apps wonderfully.
The power, heat, and noise reduction has been amazing.
All subdomains on apache proxies… its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I’ve got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')
I just read the post about backups. Since we don’t need 100% uptime. It is so easy to shut down the services, tar.gz the data folder, then store the in b2, restart everything and your server is looking schmick again!
