Yeah I read the original announcement. I know it was a team effort. But still, this is your sever and your responsibility.

Could be the instance with the raving tankies that was defederated.

Besides the actual developers of lemmy, none has done more for the lemmiverse than the maintainers of lemmy.word. When the Reddit shitstorm started and other leading servers shut down user registration, you guys held the ship steady and didn’t flinch from the sudden flood of new users. Discovering new bottle-necks in lemmy code, helping to resolve them and deploying hot fixes. All in super fast reaction time. About “lemmy.world shouldn’t be largest server” crap - it’s good for lemmy that one server is the easy entry point to lemmy. This is where the “mainstream” communities could/should be and new users will have an easier landing. Having dedicated servers with their own communities (like start trek, piracy, etc) is great but it’s not mandatory for all communities.

A pleasure to read. Every time. Thank you for this

For app data, Borg as backup/restore software. Backup data is then stored on Hetzner as an offsite backup - super easy and cheap to setup. Also add healthchecks.io to get notified if a backup failed.

Edit: Backup docker compose files and other scripts (without API keys!!!) with git to GitHub.

It’s literally takes 2 clicks to tunnel via a VPN

That sounds like an excellent solution for web based apps, but what about services like Plex or Nextcloud that use their own client side apps?

I’d recommend Debian Linux. It’s free, stable, has all the software you’ll need with long term support, ton of online resources and communities to learn from. You can start with or without UI.

This episode belongs together with the better episodes of TNG. I liked it a lot.

Thank you @USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website for this post. Your Cannon Connections posts on Reddit were a joy to read and I’m happy you are here on Lemmy now.
