Oh boy, I should get on Mastodon!

What are the top 2? Mastodon and what else?

I have no idea what you’re even trying to say.

it is clear that its growth is nearing a plateau in its current form.

Good! Lemmy doesn’t need to become big, especially since the less techy masses will likely put loads of load on privately hosted instances without bothering to donate.
The growth could actually kill Lemmy.

I believe adopting Photon as the default UI could make Lemmy far more appealing to the average Reddit user.

Please no!

Stupid question: Have you tried restarting the router, and all switches? And renewing the DHCP leases? The third thing I’d check after that is whether you have a broadcast storm or loop in your network. (I’m assuming you’re targeting IP addresses, not hostnames, already)

It’s your laptop on a docking station? Or otherwise connected via Ethernet AND WiFi? then it could’ve jumped into the other network, if you have more than one.
Have you checked that your laptops IP is in the same subnet as your servers?

The instance I first chose straight up disappeared, so yeah. It wasn’t an easy migration.

This graph seems…inaccurate.

And in the future it should also have

completely irrelevant.
You know how many thousands of projects are out there which in the future should have some great functionality?

Maybe not every niche needs a dedicated community.

I don’t care about “number go up”.
Lemmy now has enough users to provide plenty of content, and really interesting new communities I’ve never seen on that other website are starting to pop up.
It also has its own memes and culture already.

You don’t have 1000 comments under every meme post, but the comments that are there are usually worth reading.
It’s not a reddit replacement - it’s much better.

There was a storm in the desert where they were filming which destroyed a lot of the equipment and almost doomed the film.
I think I remember reading that they had to use cheaper film stock in those scenes for that reason.

The immutability isn’t designed to protect against a malicious attacker with root access.
Any system is fucked if that happens.
It’s designed to reduce the workload of the maintainers, because they effectively only need to test and build for one standard image.

When you use someone else’s internet, there’s nothing you can really do. Maybe rent a VPS and set it up as relay.

From what I can see, I just need to replace the CMOS battery. But this computer has been running for over 4 years, so what is stopping this from happening again around 2028?

Replace the CMOS battery again.
