I remember in the late 90s or so a car came out with an all digital instrument cluster. It made the news when they would completely fail, leaving people to not know anything about their speed or anything else about their car.
A speedometer is more reliable and easy to read. Even so, several cars have them. Some even project your speed in the windshield as part of a heads up display.
I’m currently trying to get Lemmy working on Azure Container Apps and Azure Postgres Flexible Server. I’ve got it all deployed, but I’m having some issues with the reverse proxy.
Regarding the ‘best’ choice - well it depends on what you mean by ‘best’. AKS will be the most flexible and ACI will probably be the simplest (if it will even work for Lemmy - I haven’t looked at ACI in years). Container Apps will probably be somewhere in the middle. Container Apps is just an abstraction over Kubernetes, so in theory you should get the scalability and flexibility of k8s without the overhead of managing a cluster.
I got Lemmy up and running on my home Rapberry Pi microk8s cluster pretty easily, so it will work fine on AKS for sure.
I’m looking at Container Apps just as a pet project because I’ve been waiting for a product like this for years. Kubernetes is awesome, but has always been too complicated for the average software developer to use. It needs a layer of abstraction and that’s what Container Apps is. So anyways I figured running Lemmy on it would be a good way to test drive it.
As I said though, I’ve run into some issues and am almost at the point where I was going to ask for help. If anyone’s interested, I can post links to my Github repos with my Terraform code and all that.
Great question. It is impossible for anyone living paycheck to paycheck. Hell, everything outside the hamster wheel is impossible in that case, so first thing is to make a savings account and a budget that allows you to put any amount into savings. If that is not possible, you seriously need to find another job or at least ask for raise. Otherwise you’re wasting your life making money for someone else.
It doesn’t necessarily cost a lot to travel for a long time, but it does require a return ticket and a way to cover the cost of starting a new life when you return. Depending on how easy it is to get a job on return you’ll need savings to do that. I noticed that the backpackers I’ve met have all ended up in larger cities where jobs are easy to get. Even if it’s only temporarily that is a good plan. Just be careful to always keep a surplus so you can advance out of fast food jobs later on.
Anyway that’s my suggestion. Plan and enable the return and you’re good to go. All you need then is to save up as much as you’re willing to spend on your travel.
Some people are able to do it with a whole family and that requires a whole other situation in which you should have a job as you travel. I know a pair who managed to it by landing a hotel review service. Their job was basically to take pictures and make descriptions of hotels worldwide. Unfortunately that is more of a job than leisure and it’s hard to get that kind of job. Some of the YouTubers are probably doing something like that.
Being a travel guide is also a really good way to experience different places while working, though it’s badly paid and less free. It allows to see some of the more popular tourist locations.
If you have children in school ages it requires a lot more effort and a job and location that is more fixed, but that is also an option if you can find it. Large companies might want a local representative which could be a pretty neat job. Most countries have school programs for international visitors. Much research is required.
I once met a guy from England who had his whole family along, while he was teaching English on a small unknown island in the Pacific Ocean for a few years. I have no idea of how he got that job, but that’s also way to see more of the world, though it’s more of an immigration than travelling. I think it shows that you don’t have to keep running in a local hamster wheel. There are hamster wheels in other places too. :)
if /r/lemmy is any proof; A) its ok to talk about lemmy on reddit and B) /u/spez has some validity in his point about users would be back not just because of the ‘48hr’ thing.
That said, yes a loud enough minority can create change and that discussion does need to happen where the users are for the network effect to kick off.
Same, the big 3 communities I host here I made very open posts, not pleading or encouraging people to move even, just “hey, we exist over here if you are curious”. All immediately removed, the mods were having none of that
I had at least three comments talking about Lemmy removed too. For all I know it was many more than that because I didn’t get any notice or explanation.
My take is that they’re censoring without even informing people because the fediverse is a real threat to them.
That’s also because a lot of mods used the API to detect bots and other malicious users. These tools were removed so even if the mods didn’t leave, they are now significantly less effective.
Some of the things that have already been mentioned are true also for me, especially around permissions and assumptions about my system’s setup. However what really did it for me was when Firefox stopped recognizing my keyboard after a snap refresh. It’s just as if no input device was there for FF anymore. I found reports of the issue, but no solution. In the end I installed from a DEB repository and went through the shenanigans to prevent snap from reinstalling it.
