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
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 have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!
BUT THE MARKET SHARE!!!
Watching every platform ruin itself to become a facsimile of every other platform is deeply infuriating and exhausting
I fucking hate shorts so much. I completely blocked them:

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
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
And it had the added benefit of making it look like my cat just polished off an entire pie all by himself when he’s done eating.
This is the real life pro tip
I get to be that guy! I’m so excited!
In power strips, the lights are (in the overwhelming majority of cases) actually a neon bulb! They’re cheaper for that specific purpose because they can be powered directly off of the mains power with a single resistor.
Your point is entirely valid and I bear the same cross, this is just a fun fact you can use to impress colleagues, strangers, and potential lovers, dazzling them with your deep esoteric knowledge of and passion for illuminators in power strips.
If what you need to accomplish can be achieved via shell commands, it would be hard to beat OliveTin for this use case.
Once again, prisoners are forced to do the necessary work for no compensation.
I solved that for myself by making genre folders and just tossing books in them haphazardly as I download them.
I gave Calibre a brief shot and was immediately put off by how big and clunky it was. I’m sure it would have been perfect if I gave it more of a shot and spent time tweaking.
Kavita has been my solution for the last probably 7 months and I’m loving it. I don’t need anything outside of “put book in place” and then “Open Kavita, see book” and it has been perfect for that. It’s essentially plex but with books in terms of how using and maintaining it has been.
