    Jokes on you the political content here is from the redditors who pretended to quit their award fueled addiction by also joining lemmy.

    Seriously though, compare c/Politics to c/Worldnews or c/News. There is a very large dissonance between the comments shared despite both communities posting the same news info…

    make a decentralized system that scales quickly and efficiently with usage and has a higher uptime than any server based site like reddit

    It is like the holy grail of a decentral web, and it is (currently) very hard to achieve without making a tradeoff.

    Lemmy trades off scalability and availability for federation. It’s not very effective because instances have to be selected manually, and if any large instance goes down, chaos ensues.

    It’s not even truly decentral. More like a somewhat redundant media system.

    The best I think we have right now is IPFS. It has scalability and accessibility. But it lacks speed due to DHT searches being hella slow compared to a simple DNS lookup.


  • I am insane and use bare bone LXC.

    Stupid ramblings you can probably ignore:

    spoiler

    Usually though it’s because I run most stuff bare metal anyway so LXC is for temporary or random cases where I need a weird dependency or I want to run a niche service.

    Only use docker for when I actually want faster setup like docker-osx which does all the vm stuff for running a virtual Mac for you.

    I don’t really mind docker, but for homelab I just find myself rewriting dockerfile anytime I want to change something which I don’t really need to do if I’m not publishing it or even reusing it.

    Kubernates is really more effective for actual load services, which you never need in homelab lol. It’s great to use to learn k8s cluster, but the resources get eaten fast.
