Is it that difficult to run Mastodon over Docker?

I am used to simple things running on Docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.) I am looking at running my own personal Mastodon instance (maybe share it with a few friends and family), but I like using Docker. Looking at install guides, the steps required seem to be much harder than just editing docker-compose.yml and running the...

TheRealCharlesEames ,

I haven’t looked, are those requirements not included in the compose?

TheRealCharlesEames ,

So if I wanted to host my own mastodon for friends and family but found the installation process too difficult, does that make this the best route forward for me?

Sorry to hijack — does Matrix have support for voice channels now? I know it has support for voice calls, but I’d like to just join a designated voice channel and allow other members to join as they please.

YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream (youtu.be)

While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary...

Portable monitor for steamdeck?

I am in need of some help. I’m trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don’t need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I’m not having much luck with my own research. I would like low latency, high refresh rate, and colors as close to the same as on the og LCD deck (which is what I have)....

They offer prescription inserts if my memory is correct. They are unlike VR due to the smaller display fov and open peripherals — you may still get motion sick but I can’t imagine it’s on the same scale as a VR headset IME

I ended up returning mine (and my Deck) but I still think they are a really great option for someone like you who is looking for a large yet incredibly portable display for use with the Steam Deck

How to Figure Out What Your Car Knows About You (and Opt Out of Sharing When You Can) (www.eff.org)

Cars collect a lot of our personal data, and car companies disclose a lot of that data to third parties. It’s often unclear what’s being collected, and what’s being shared and with whom. A recent New York Times article highlighted how data is shared by G.M. with insurance companies, sometimes without clear knowledge from...

Ok I’m ready for the US to implement proper data protection laws now

My understanding is that UBI would benefit the impoverished the most, allowing them to get out of debt, put food on the table, or maybe even put a roof over their head, finally opening the door for them to live a prosperous life. This significant change and opportunity for them outweighs the inflation they may face. Food, water, shelter, and healthcare are a human right and UBI is one way to deliver that, so we should probably commit for that reason alone. With no other changes, worst case scenario, those of us that are better off can begrudgingly cope with the inflation potentially created. But besides the potential price hikes it’s worth mentioning that we will all see a return on investment as a society when our weakest are made stronger.

As for where the money should come from and how to fight the potential inflation so us in the middle class don’t lose the quality of life we’ve become accustomed to, we need to make the ultra wealthy finally pay their fair share, break up monopolies to create competition, and properly punish exploitation.

I use all their products and love them all. They actually work, and make my skin look, feel, and smell great. The branding is sharp too. First time I’ve felt this way about a skincare line. They have different uses so it’ll be hard for me to recommend just one. See if you can find some samples at Sephora or something. You won’t regret your purchase.

I just went back to RSS after some years and it’s just as good as I remember it.

Yeah just signup at Feedly and you’ll have no trouble

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — WMR is the single thing keeping me from moving to Linux atm. Please save face Msft.

Should I get an oled red/ blue or Mario red?

New can be had for the same price as one on eBay it seems.

Thank you to Arc for reminding me how much I enjoy browsing the internet and its many unique pages — these soulless generated results are the opposite of what I want.

TheRealCharlesEames ,

No offense but I’m not sure you read or understood the main point of the article — there’s not much of an internet for users if there’s no incentive to supply it with content.

They gave up on the one thing that kept me within the Microsoft ecosystem.

I like it, feels like my Elite Dangerous spaceship or something. Also, it’s just in case of emergency on a Tesla.

Elden Ring gave me the most buyers remorse I’ve ever felt

Please announce a trade in program, Valve. Don’t make me use eBay cause I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle at that point.

Like put a sign in my front yard or what

anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

I’ve tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don’t know what I’m doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don’t understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff....

TheRealCharlesEames ,

Yeah at this point I’m ready to pay someone for help. I wasn’t expecting setting up a mastodon or piped instance in docker to be so hard.

[seeking solution] self hosted search engine

My latest Google search replacement recently made a decision that basically forces me to turn off ad block in order to click results. I was wondering if there was any self hosted solution that is fairly easy to deploy in TrueNAS scale or if it is even worth doing. Bonus points if it’s federated somehow. I’ll deal with bad...

Tough to go from free to $10/month without any obvious to me improvements, as much as I’d like to support the cause

Really wish Christian would bring Apollo to Lemmy in the same fashion
