I’m an engineer with history in reverse-engineering, logic-level troubleshooting and design, software, and whatever else.
I think of myself of more as an agroecologist/farmer type guy though no matter what the paychecks say on them
dude is such a piece of shit
This just blew my fucking mind
If it’s ever something you want to try, it’s one of the easier servers to self host and there’s a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn’t any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.
This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.
One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.
EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I’m happy to be corrected on that, though.
Unrelated but I’m very impressed with how well this posted to Lemmy from Mastodon. Exceptional
I think he’s finally figure out The Thing this time, guys.
I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!
A) Never feel bad about asking for a bigger cut of the money they make off of your labor
B) lmfao how are you making so much more than me. I’m a senior engineer at an IT company haha
On lemmy, you could literally just start the same community on another server. If other people agree with you about space, the new community will become the “default” one. don’t really think anybody even has the ability to become “too powerful” because they are neutered the instant the base url changes.
I used this: https://redact.dev/
I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far
It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.
I’ve also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.
Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link
I don’t understand what you mean. This isn’t new trivia. It’s just a hugely problematic, incestuous, transphobic song
That dude straight up has no fucking idea what’s going on.
Yeah, “Father of a Boy Named Sue” Is really like “What if, instead of writing a good song, I make myself look like a hugely toxic, ignorant piece of shit by writing this song instead”
Not that I’m aware of. I set it up very very early in my self-hosting journey and have just continued using it ever since
Vim wouldn’t even have occurred to me if you hadn’t said it. I use Vim more than I talk to my family.
There are literally multiple of us! We cannot be stopped!
