You need the directory for the mount point.

If you punch someone on the nose, you can’t expect sympathy when they punch back. This isn’t going to produce the result Hamas was going for.

They’re not unemployed or underemployed by any common definition of those words. If California wants to support striking workers, great, but it shouldn’t be under these programs.

And realistically there’s no reason why this isn’t a Union problem to solve instead of a government one. Dues are paid for a reason.

I’ll be the heretic here, but so far as I know you are only required to make source available when you distribute binaries. And for that matter, it doesn’t even have to be online just available upon request unless you’re using a derivative GPL that added online access as a clause.

I highly doubt the users of a web interface are required to be given access to source. There are multiple GPL-licensed web servers (I am well aware Apache is not btw) and I’ve never seen one embed a code link on every page.

Tl;Dr: Lemmy does it, but I believe it’s not required. Modify away if you so choose.

yes the whole nation is in jeopardy because some warmongers arent getting their promotions

The whole nation is in jeopardy because these leadership positions are being held open until Trump is reelected in a rework of the Merrick Garland SC nomination. Which should be terrifying. Jan 6 failed in part because some of the military top brass (Miley) put oath before Trump.

Read up on Project 2025 if you haven’t. These “unconnected events” are anything but. It’s a strategy.

Unless you make it a point to procure an LTSC version, which Microsoft won’t even sell to you unless you have a site license.

LTSC is the only version of Windows that behaves like it’s still your computer, and I have uptime measured in months on a computer who serves Plex all day long.

So, I am an engineer/scientist. Products that I have developed/contributed to development are used by billions of people. Most likely you, the reader of this comment are using it right now, because some of the products I worked on are telecom products, that are widely used to transfer information.

You’re an employee, actors are (generally) independent contractors so the comparison breaks down. Most people who don’t understand the situation have been making this comparison.

The closer analogy for you would be if you, as an independent engineer, created a library that Oracle licensed instead of bought. Something they are bundling into their latest database server.

Should you, as a developer, take less per unit because Oracle starts selling through a new channel? Say the Windows app store instead of through their website directly?

I mean, it’s ok if you feel like that’s ok but I don’t think most people would agree with you when they really understand what’s going on.

The unions gave the studios a sweetheart deal in the infancy of streaming so that it wouldn’t smother in the crib. Now that it’s profitable, don’t the artists and writers deserve the same level of compensation for streaming as they get through other channels? Not more, just the same.

Yeah, I don’t even know if piracy is the right word for it when you take Copyright within it’s proper historical context.

Copyright existed as a bargain: the force of law protects your work for an exclusive period, and once that period is over, the work becomes part of the Public Domain for all to enjoy. It was originally set at 14 years with an optional one-time 14 year renewal.

Most of the games we’re talking about should be Public Domain by now. Like most everything in America today, the rich have managed to shift the balance significantly in their favor.

Windows 10 LTSC (for me) generally has uptime that is the equivalent of any Linux box. I’ve been using it to host Plex for several years - before hardware transcoding support in Linuxv was really up to snuff.

LTSC is what Windows should be. It’s a shame Microsoft doesn’t make it available (legally) to normal consumers.

Yes.

And to some of the child replies, I think there’s a question of scale that often gets overlooked. In all these discussions, there seems to be two different groups commingling: ones who just need 1-2 simultaneous streams, and ones who are doing true whole-house-plus systems.

I’m serving subtitles-enabled streams to (mostly) Roku clients - who need the server to burn in the subtitle track for some insane reason. It’s nothing for my Plexbox to be serving 6 simultaneous streams. A 4790K would definitely not cut it for me.

Honestly, don’t bother with a dGPU and get a 12th or 13th gen Intel Core chip with QSV. Intel quietly tuned it up to the point where it’s faster than nVidia’s NVENC engine even in the latest gen plus you don’t have mess around with the uncap streams hack and you’re transcoding through system RAM not dGPU RAM, so far less likely that your stream limit will be artificially constrained by memory limitations.

To answer the question you asked though, the nVidia NVENC is the best solution on a dGPU. It’s performance is largely the same across the same board generation, with one exception in the GTX 10X0 series. The absolute cheapest card you can lay your hands on that has an NVENC engine is the 1050TI.

The caveat is the 1070 and 1080 have two NVENC engines. It will double max number of streams in theory, however in reality you’re memory bound on those cards and it’s more like a 33% bump.

Good note, thanks. Just made the change.

Here we go:

Example files

Any place you see <something>, you need to change it to fit and omit the <>. If something <matches> in two differet places <matches> like this, make sure they match when you’re done as well. Specifically, the postgres user and password in the lemmy docker file and the lemmy.hjson.

Finally, in Google drive the files end in .txt so you can view them. You’ll need to correct the file names when you download them if you intend to use them. You should have two docker-compose.yml, one in each of the two directories you create, and one lemmy.hjson.

From a fresh CLI Debian 11 install:

su
/sbin/usermod -aG sudo <user>
groups <user>
apt-get install sudo
cd /opt
mkdir npm
cd npm
(copy or create docker-compose.yml)
apt-get install docker-compose
docker-compose up -d
cd /opt
mkdir lemmy
cd lemmy
(copy or create docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson)
mkdir -p volumes/pictrs
chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs
docker-compose up -d
docker ps (verify containers are all running, grab ip address for lemmy container)
Configure port forwarding in npm for your lemmy container (npm should be accessible at debian_ip_address:81)
Remember to do the custom paths from the various guides. The lemmy port in this guide is 1234.

Please note I am not addressing federation or SSL or true hosting yet. I haven’t got that far yet. But if you can get the damn thing running, the last mile shouldn’t be too bad.

So I wanted to make a top-level post: I’ve got a set of example files, and instructions, that will work 100% of the time on Debian. What do you guys think would be the best way to share them? A post here and the files shared on Google Drive? GitHub? Definitely open to suggestions, but I don’t want anyone to struggle with it as hard as I have.

This worked for me, with one note:

<dbuser> and <dbpassword> need to be lemmy and password if you’re using the stock lemmy.hjson file, or the lemmy_lemmy_1 container will get stuck in a reboot loop. There’s no define in the stock file in githubusercontent currently for those, so you have to add them by hand.

For security, you have to change these.

I did. I could never get ansible to work when I was setting up the same machine. If you know how to set the inventory file up for that, I’m all ears.
