I’m an engineer with history in reverse-engineering, logic-level troubleshooting and design, software, and whatever else.

I think of myself of more as an agroecologist/farmer type guy though no matter what the paychecks say on them

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!


Thank goodness I had to say the pledge every day in school or I might have forgotten that we actually have liberty and justice for all while reading this


I would argue that it’s not even modernized. It’s just the same argument.


A) Never feel bad about asking for a bigger cut of the money they make off of your labor

B) lmfao how are you making so much more than me. I’m a senior engineer at an IT company haha




I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far


It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.

I’ve also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.


Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link


I can’t even explain why but this might be the funniest fucking meme I’ve ever seen in my life and I don’t know if that speaks to the meme or to who I am as a person


Not that I’m aware of. I set it up very very early in my self-hosting journey and have just continued using it ever since



I clicked on some of the tags and got to binary downloads but yeah, I’ve never dealt with releases or compiled binaries via git myself so I have no idea how to make that better at this point Don't cry don't cry don't cry


Good call. I’ll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you

Edit: Should be good now







God damn this is a powerhouse of a meme





I solved that for myself by making genre folders and just tossing books in them haphazardly as I download them.


I gave Calibre a brief shot and was immediately put off by how big and clunky it was. I’m sure it would have been perfect if I gave it more of a shot and spent time tweaking.

Kavita has been my solution for the last probably 7 months and I’m loving it. I don’t need anything outside of “put book in place” and then “Open Kavita, see book” and it has been perfect for that. It’s essentially plex but with books in terms of how using and maintaining it has been.


One of the biggest rules I adhere to that has changed my life is “Nothing is supposed to be anything”


I’m going to be honest, that sounds like we’d just be inventing something for people to get mad about. The entire ethos of decentralization is for that sort of arrangement to not be a thing. Either the charter would have nobody to enforce it OR you’d have to centralize authority.

What you’re describing works for various instances to form a sort of collective with shared ideals but projecting that onto the entire network is antithetical to the entire idea here.

Also, and this is nitpicky, I admit-- You’re not in the Lemmyverse. You’re in the Fediverse, a space in which lemmy is a very new and small part.


If I’ve already run the last version recently is there a reason to run this new version immediately?


For me:

  • Document things (configs, ports, etc) as I go
  • Uniform folder layout for everything (my first couple of servers were a bit wild-westy)
  • Choosing and utilizing some reasonable method of assigning ports to things. I do not even want to explain what I need to do when I forget what port something in this setup is using.


I definitely don’t blame you for that. Dogwhistles come with that little bit of plausible deniability so it’s impossible to draw a hard line on this type of thing.


I find the OP’s question very intriguing and have kind of arrived at this same conclusion. My only tweak would be that they may, in fact, have more effective immune systems purely due to the fact that access to medicine or areas free of pathogens aren’t as common. Obviously, though, that would be compared to a person who exists in those same conditions but with access to good medical care which is a bit paradoxical.

EDIT: I made this more complicated for myself by thinking, further, that nutrition would also play a huge role in this


While I’m with you on that, I am definitely getting more of a “sneaky snake” vibe from this comic, personally.


Legally, you can either uninstall Office or buy a license for it.

What I would do is go to this website and follow the instructions


holy shit EDIT: Just got a pretty sick little vps for a year for like $40. Thanks!



The closest I’ve gotten is removing every language except for English and Undetermined which removes it from all the dropdowns. Presuming you’re not the owner of lemmy.world, I do not believe there is a way to achieve even that stopgap.


Because you’re looking? I guess I don’t understand the question.

edit: lol wtf happened


Here are the Lemmy and Lemmy-UI sections of my docker compose

I would imagine you could simply paste your domain and ports into those and get up and running. I can also provide the entire docker compose file with my secret stuff removed if you think that would be helpful



Sounds like arduinos and a laptop is what you want

edit: sorry in advance for how unenthusiastic this response is. I’m real fucking tired of talking about this to a crowd of people who have already decided I could never be correct


Thank you! A tiktok follower who is a tattoo artist surprised me with a drawing of me with some toads and I’ve loved it more with each passing day


If you host a feed reader (or just use one a lot), Morss is amazing
Got the suggestion from a comment yesterday (I'll link when I find it) and I'd been using FreshRSS on it's own for a long time. Morss is a godsend for feeds that like to give you only the headline. It's also especially awesome for the Hackernews and Lobsters feeds because it will expand the posted links for you which I appreciate a great deal. Hosting it takes like 3 seconds and it's so worth it.

If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware

There are a lot of reasons not to give them your money. They're assholes to the maker community and they openly talk shit on a lot of their customer base. That's beside the point, though, really. It's just not a spectacular option for hosting. In order to get a Rpi competitive with even the shittiest laptop from 7 years ago, you're going to end up spending more than you would spend on a decent laptop from 7 years ago. If it is a computer that turns on, it will likely function orders of magnitude better than an Rpi and won't bind you to ARM architecture. My entire hosting setup was pulled out of a recycling pile for free. Install ubuntu/ubuntu server and enjoy yourself. If you intend on spending any amount of money on this hobby, I cannot express enough how much I recommend against any of that money going toward a Raspberry Pi. EDIT: A lot of you seem to be reading this as "Raspberry Pis are all nonfunctional" and getting mad about it. Don't do that. Edit 2: Good to see that all the stupid parts of reddit made it here
