I don’t think any lemmy instances can afford to run on the big clouds.

We just delete them from minio (our object storage)

Yeah it emails us and pops up a thing in the ui where we can mark it as resolved

We dont proxy on lemmy.ca yet, but I assumed thumbnails would still be stored in pictrs like usual? I thought it was just the actual image links that got proxied, and thumbnails were still dumped in like usual.

We turned on cloudflare’s CSAM scanner and remove anything it flags for us.

I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don’t want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.

Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc

Everyone is ok with Python. It’s a reasonable choice that’s well known, well understood and doesn’t have a lot of negatives. There’s a million libraries for it so it’s easy to get started and add support for new things.

I’ve never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun. It lives in the enterprise world mostly, and not much else that I’ve seen.

I have no knowledge, but would guess:

• building an app is harder than people think
• an opinionated community doesn’t generally help
• Java, eww.

FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.

Fractal design, node case. One of them is a cube that takes 8x 3.5 and microatx. I used one for years and it was great.

Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.

Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.

Mind empowering my laziness and sharing that query?

I was also planning on bulk locking all their communities, to avoid any isolated islands of people that don’t realize the community is gone.

I may be biased, but lemmy.ca is pretty great

You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.

Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down? I say this more figuratively than specifically you, this could also apply to their internal IT guy who wants to do this.

I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.

Aka the compliment sandwich. A technique I personally dislike. Be honest and open with your feedback in a positive way, don’t try to hide it between compliments. If your feedback is simply negative, keep it to yourself.

Salt water.

I yoloed from a year old version up to the latest, it was fine.

Oh look, another spike in lemmy registrations.
