I think single user instances and subscribing to communities doesn’t really work with lemmy because of the low volume and overlapping communities.
I actually read all new on my instance and just block anything I don’t want to see instead of subscribing. That was when communities come and go I still see the content. There are tradeoffs though you’ll have to come back later to see lots of comments usually.
Thanks for not using AI but why would you post on lemmy that you gave up on lemmy? Are you trying to get more people to leave?
I use a USB connection to my UPS for the shutdown signal not Ethernet
I would detach one drive from the mirror first and make the raidz1 with the two drives if that’s possible (not sure if it lets you create a pool in a degraded state)
There’s different kinds of backups. For this you don’t need off-site storage.
For this I set up zfs auto snapshotting which means when I delete stuff it isn’t really deleted because a snapshot is still pointing at it until it rolls off the time window.
Both zfs and btrfs can do this but you do need to change the filesystem to use these which can be a lot of work.
As far as I know it was started by the original lemmy developers which made the software because they felt persecuted for their beliefs on normie social media. Lemmy just happened to be around when the reddit CEO decided to f up reddit so everyone started using it despite the creators not being well adjusted people.
Edit: just so I’m not misinforming here’s what they said themselves about the origin https://lemmy.ml/post/70319
I don’t get how extremist leftist content ends up attracting people who are against woke stuff in stardew really but over time I’ve gotten the vibe the ml and hexbear people are in general more combative and angry about things.
Make your own community on an instance that’s not full of assholes
Why not just host on v4 and v6 from home?
LastPass said the exact same thing. I won’t be a big target like they will though.
I think the main thing for not messing it up is just make sure you keep it updated. Probably set up auto updates and auto backups.
Because when whatever company gets a data breach I don’t want my data in the list.
With bitwarden If your server goes down then all your devices still have a local copy of your database you just can’t add new passwords until the server is back up.
Ram is important but it has to be vram not system ram.
Only MacBooks can use the system ram because they have an integrated GPU rather than a dedicated one.
Stable diffusion is the same situation.
Only the GPU and primarily the vram matters for LLMs. So this wouldn’t help at all.
TrueNAS is pretty good and they have a Linux version which will have better compatibility with your game servers.
If you’d like to try mbin https://fedia.io/ is a good instance. Run by Jerry from infosec.exchange.
Personally I support software diversity and Earnest seems like a nice person but Lemmy has a bigger development community and I wanted the mobile apps.
None I just look at new because there’s not enough content on Lemmy to filter it
I’m running FreeBSD I actually like it a lot.
I picked it for zfs. A lot of the ways things work seem cleaner and simpler than on Linux and zfs is awesome with the copy on write snapshots and filesystem compression and all that. I like rc.conf and pf is way nicer than iptables and even when you upgrade it automatically makes a snapshot so you can rollback.
Sometimes I do need to patch and compile things because people seem to not know freebsd exists but that’s really the only downside.
Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.
It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.
Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?
I think that intro (and the dead lemmy thumbnail) and the long part about reddit is why you got downvoted. People want to hear good things or constructive criticism about their niche platform and are kinda tired of reddit.
Try not to get discouraged about posting. I saw what you meant later in the article, it just came off badly from the intro materials.
