Debian is really easy to install now. It used to be much harder back in the day.

I’m not knowledgeable enough on the software to respond to these claims, but the great thing about open source software is that you can raise these as issue on Github and they can be fixed.

Thanks, I’ll check that out if my from-scratch attempt fails. I’m using nginx as a reverse proxy.

I’ve just started a new instance on Oracle Cloud given how good the free tier is.

I’m maxed out on everything free: 4 CPU cores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB storage.

Do you have any idea what the implications are of changing the block volume performance up from the default balanced to higher performance or UHP? All I can find on pricing is here: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/storage/pricing/

But it doesn’t mention anything about free tier eligibility.

I don’t think they’re going to get much by way of a response.

Maybe this will lead to the government blocking Twitter, probably through something incredibly easy to bypass like DNS.

I might try building from scratch again and running pict-rs in a docker container.

That does sound incredibly good for free.

Did you have any issues with pict-rs? Is it indeed included within the lemmy-server binary?

I thought of trying that, but the lemmy container doesn’t have ping/wget/curl, unless there is a way to test this without those tools.

I’m hoping people will leave when their favourite app no longer works on July 1. Maybe some of the app developers will move over to Lemmy.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

Your instance becomes aware of the existence of another instance when just one user subscribes to a community there. From then on it will appear in all.

I’ll stick with Mastodon. Is it a slight improvement over Musk, though? I guess.

No idea why you’d pre-order this. The sensible route is to get a trial of Game Pass (or a free month doing Microsoft Rewards) and try it out. If you like it, either buy it or continue with your Game Pass subscription.
