Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

Nuclear power is green energy.

There is an official announcement here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2540874

This used to work. The latest block of shorts that they added in the subscriptions page that is not removable.

If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users’ behalf. I don’t think it’s practical to literally make every user a moderator.

It’s a brewery in Southern California. No wait, it’s a small rock.

(Serious answer, it’s a unit of measurement equal to 14 pounds.)

$3.33/month? I too would like to know who your VPS provider is.

This made me realize why I found this whole question so confusing. I write code professionally, but don’t really do open-source professionally or personally. There’s just very little reason for two people to be writing code in the same file in the same week in my job. If it does happen, it still doesn’t usually come close enough to cause a conflict. The rare case I find myself resolving merge conflicts is usually because I have some super old stash that I decide I actually want to apply months later.

Federation works in the opposite direction. It’s push-based rather than pull-based. To get posts from Beehaw, Beehaw has to actively push those posts to your instance. With this move, Beehaw is choosing to no longer push posts to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Apollo is literally just one dude. He should do whatever he wants. He had a good run, almost certainly made a life-changing amount of money and is ready to move on. I can totally respect that.

I also think anyone who says <app> should “just” <thing> probably has never written anything as complex and popular as Apollo before. There really is no “just” anything at that scale.

I wish we could leave cynical takes like this back on Reddit. They don’t add anything of value to the conversation.

This only proves that you can’t unilaterally migrate a subreddit. That instance currently has ~250 users. I don’t know how active the subs it represents were, but surely they had at least an order of magnitude more active users than that?

Even with in-video ads, those must be paid based on historical (or actual?) view counts right? No matter how big you are, there’s no way you’re going to maintain view counts when switching away from YouTube.

I think GP is saying the the total income from Premium doesn’t cover the cost of running all of Youtube, not that a single premium subscription doesn’t cover that one user’s costs, which it obviously does.

I think things have tightened up a lot over there in the last 5 or so days. I don’t even remember what I put (definitely nothing more substantial than yours) and I have an account over there of similar to age. People who have tried to sign up more recently have mentioned being rejected after multiple serious looking responses.

I’ve never been a Zelda fan, but this list makes me think I should try BotW :D

I’m with you on this one. I got moderately stuck at one point pretty early on in the game (I’m not sure, but I think my save was probably bugged). Anyway, I put the game down and never touched it again. Didn’t feel like I had lost anything at all.

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it’s worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

Looking at my own very small instance, Lemmy doesn’t seem to consider “logged in” as active. I currently have 8 users online and 3 users/month.

What happens if a server goes down or a server keeper decides they want to modify some post or comment? It doesn’t seem much different from what spez did, except now you put everything in the hand of another random person. Legal issues are potentially even worse in this case because there is no company behind the site to blame for their wrongdoings.

You put everything in the hands of many random people :). This is fundamentally no worse than the situation with Reddit.

You have to create tens of accounts if you want to post on other instances. Yeah, you might be able to subscribe to communities from one instance but you can’t post there, only on your own. Maybe I’m missing something here but it doesn’t seem like you can post to the communities of other instances.

That is not correct. I’m not sure what issue you’re having, but if you give more details about what you’ve tried maybe we can help.

Alternatively: create the same community in your instance? That would just make useless duplications or even separate instances even more…

Again, no different from the current state of reddit, you just have many Gaming@whatever instances instead of /r/gaming, r/truegaming/, /r/really_true_gaming_for_real, etc.

There are absolutely rough edges here, but to be honest I think a lot of people either weren’t around or don’t remember the early days of Reddit. There were a lot of rough edges back then too.
