You know I get the cloud saves, and maybe the discord, If they’re buying their own boosts it’s not free.
But without the pay features, it’s just a content management system for storing exes and a little metadata. I have the same thing in every torrent indexer I use.
Building a pay service for people that are pirating software is a losing proposition.
No Linux/Mac client
Source available not open source
$5-8 a month to support cloud saves for your self-hosted product. The only even remotely interesting features are behind the paywall.
Might as well just throw the binaries up on a tiddlywiki and call it a day
Hell no, My downloads folder in my media folder are completely different. I copy everything from downloads to media It gets renamed, possibly resampled. The torrents are left in the original folder to seed unmolested.
Every once in a while I go through my torrent list and just tell the client to destroy the torrent and files for anything that I don’t care to seed anymore. Zero chance of it breaking my actual store.
What should I do next?
Set up peertube in a proxmox, difficulty: My hosting provider doesn’t allow 443 or 80, I have cloudflare working for other things but I think this invades their TOS
Set up immich in a proxmox. Difficulty: I need regular backups off site and it’s going to be pretty large.My wife is a professional photographer.
Set up my Coral TPU with frigate replacing my aging win10 blue iris.
Non SSL behind your ingress proxy is acceptable professionally in most circumstances, assuming your network is properly segmented it’s not really a big deal.
Self-signing and adding the CA is a bit of a pain in the ass and adds another unnecessary layer for failure in a home network.
If it really grinds your gears you could issue yourself a real wild card cert from lets encrypt then at DNS names with that wild card on your local DNS server with internal IPs, but to auto renew it you’re going to have to do some pretty decent DNS work.
To be honest I’ve scrapped most of my reverse proxies for a nice tailscale network. Less moving parts, encrypted end-to-end.
It gets better.
Especially on Lemmy, the only thing it’s really doing is bringing some discoverability but the discoverability isn’t all that bad on Lemmy you have to look around for like 2 minutes to find the communities, okay, well you have to understand that there are like communities on multiple instances, figure out how to switch from local to all, then look around for 2 minutes
After hanging out on Blue sky for a bit I’m pretty sure Mastodon could use a little algorithmic help. The communities on Mastodon are so loosely formed they can be a little hard to find, you end up looking for people with the same taste and follow their followers. It works but nothing ever gets surface to you that you didn’t actually actively look for and it seems to be kind of a mess in a Twitter scenario.
Yup, my foggy brain…
Maybe it’s like playing mosquito tones through speakers at malls. You have to be old enough to live through text-forward websites to put up with a text-forward websites.
Except I know there are some younger people here, I don’t know what it is exactly, It just seems to me that there’s better discussion and more acceptance on sites that have less frills.
I love that neither of us made it a point of which side is right :P
it’s possible to migrate your subs on lemmy
it’s possible to both migrate your subs and make a redirect on mastodon for followers, but the redirect requires the old server to remain in service.
there are on mastodon
I think the distribution is fine as long as we still have nodes with good capacity. Our real issue is everyone demanding to be on the same instance because they’re scared of Federation.
What I’d REALLY like to see is a Federated Resource Locator service, kinda like nameservice for a federated user.
rumba@mastodon.social is 101254684, if I move to rumba@ingrowntownail.es, I want all my followers to do that lookup and still be following me. It’s great to have my settings migrate with me, but it would be bangin’ to have other people linked to me to still follow me.
I’ve already moved at least once and have been very happy it was as easy as it is.
Normal people really don’t like to donate,
I’m on a medium-small instance; if %5 of users donate a dollar a month, the hardware would likely be paid for.
If lemmy.world had %0.01 of users paying, they could probably cover their hardware, storage and network fees.
If you’re not paying the admin’s mortgage, it not that hard to chip in. Unlike the other “options”, no one is getting ad revenue or selling your data, if that’s not worth a cup of cheap coffee a month for 1:20 people they have their priorities in the wrong places. .
want the formerly leftist site to go full maga now.
Reddit and X, sitting in a tree.
Our most precious features is you’ll never have to. If a community turns to shit, they just get defederated. If you can’t find a server that defederates them, you can host it yourself. Your groups will be smaller, and you’ll lose something in the transition, but what you have is what you’ll put up with.
Also helps to not be shit.
Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.
Just stay on the right side of pineapple on pizza.

The real hard part is it’s a partial truth.
The sellers do pay the tariffs, they just don’t talk about what that does to the prices.
The other problem is it cuts both ways, and a number of the idiots will say as long as you’re hurting them too, fine.
And then we have retaliatory tariffs, which also cut both ways.
IMHO, our biggest issue is we’ve been using cheap Chinese products and labor as a crutch instead of increasing wages. They’ve been able to cut down wages because Amazon, Temu and Shein have been providing products WAY WAY under marketable US made prices.
