There are dozens of us!

I just kept it simple

I use mine for my pihole and have been pretty happy. $40 bucks, tiny footprint and power consumption. I have a 3 from 2018. I get where your coming from but gonna need some sauce for your claims.

That’s such a good idea. I may have to look into this. Thank you

If server admins were the ones doing it. Theoretically you could just dump the database and reupload no?

Exact same situation (Instance been about 3 weeks now). I went back to the alien.site once to make a throw away account to update a community where I had a loose end. Besides that I haven’t been back. I had a alien.site account for like 12 years. Basically was my internet. I am loving it here.

I am committed to federated services from here on out. I am personally really liking lemmy… There are some minor annoyances but nothing major. The mobile browsing experiences makes me pretty cozy. With the dark theme it’s not too far from rif. Apps and plugins are coming that will make it that next special thing. Like I couldn’t imagine aliensite without old and res. It’s coming… I’m loving it.

If you want an easy to get into sd… check out easy diffusion. The beta allows for lara models now.

I like windows 11 better than 10. The UI is better (besides the basic start menu all apps thing) but, I’m just about done with microsoft I think… For the same reason I left reddit, I don’t want to be a commodity. With all the telemetry that is undoubtedly being sent from my windows OS (even when disabling everything I can) it makes me uncomfortable (even with my pihole on my network)… Getting more and more comfortable with linux as a daily driver. For years, linux was always just those work computers I’ve dealt with but the more I want to get away from being a product. The more I realize linux is what I need.

Yeah Ansible I had to set the path variable and did the ssh key generation. Other than that my lemmy was up and running in like 10 minutes all automated. You can go back and change the config by rebuilding the yaml. It’s not bad at all.

Ansible is just a playbook deploying the docker setup. ;)

Install wsl for windows Ubuntu default.(can install wsl in PowerShell).

Install Ansible in wsl, create ssh keys to your VPS, follow those instructions.

On my Ubuntu server I did literally nothing but the ssh key generation.

This is a weird one. I have my instance in a database that blocks smtp and all it’s alternative and secure ports. Is there anyway for me to get smtp out of here? Id have to fiddle with Lemmy’s functions. I imagine an API or something. Anyone have experience with this?

Following…

Decentraleyes … Nice! Never seen that one! I always suspected hosted libraries and the such come at a costs (like jQuery etc…).

This is great! Feature request… Can you add this functionality to allow people to sub to these communities easy. It’s what I’m doing in a little javascript that has helped me tremendously!

• Set a homeInstance type variable (ie; https://lemmy.ml) - manually inputted or select from found instances?
• Add a button that links to "homeInstance + “/search/q/!” + community + “@” + site + “/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1"”
  • site is remoteinstance.whatever

That will take someone straight to being able to sub from their instance.

For anyone wanting my javascript that helps with subbing. Check my post here: https://thesimplecorner.org/post/4320

Sad. Ummm, I just figured out how to link gifs…

To link a gif:

I saw this application once in the past doing tech support for customers. It used a proxy or forced dns servers to allow you on to the internet it seemed “safe”. The user was trying to access websites we used for work. That crazy software takes screenshots of your desktop every few minutes. We worked in the healthcare industry… I forwarded it to our security dept and had to file a HIPAA report…

Terrible software. The persons family didn’t trust their own adult kid… I figured it was some form of religious thing.

Confirmed. Investigated that earlier.

Yup, I had the same question and was frustrated I was missing so many comments from instances that were federating. Just leave allowed blank and then block the bad ones unless your really concerned about bad instance actors.
