Give NixOS a shot. It’s got a learning curve that may be difficult if you’ve never read code, but it’s my preferred immutable setup.

It even has more packages than Arch.

Here’s the video that got me onto it:

I mean the NVIDIA stock price speaks for itself, I think Jensen is onto something

I’m really enjoying Otterwiki. Everything is saved as markdown, attachments are next to the markdown files in a folder, and version control is integrated with a git repo. Everything lives in a directory and the application runs from a docker container.

It’s the perfect amount of simplicity and is really just a UI on top of fully portable standard tech.

Then you missed where they dropped an opportunity to show a new screwdriver variant coming to LLTStore.com 🤦

Thank you for this, I don’t normally use twitter but I read some people saying the Threadreader app wasn’t up to date with all the comments.

This situation sucks and was something I would have been willing to see through. But after reading the thread from Madison this morning I’ve decided to cancel my Floatplane subscription. While the accusations she makes are currently accusations, they’re pretty damning and worth taking seriously in case they are more than allegations. I await LMG’s response to her thread, as I feel that will be the deciding factor in whether or not I continue to consume and support anything LMG does going forward.

I wrote a few scripts to automate this entire process for me:

If you’re able and willing to self-host, I’ve developed a pretty great system that automates my entire process. The app I’m using on mobile is also available on iOS

I completely gave up torrents for Usenet, also using the -arr’s to get content for Plex. I completely saturate my bandwidth with Usenet downloads and I’ve never once received an ISP letter, and I’ve been entirely without a VPN.

As someone who completely gave up torrenting for usenet, what made you decide against usenet?

To elaborate further from the other comment, it’s a person running a copy of the Lemmy software on their server. I for example am running mine (and seeing this thread) from https://zemmy.cc. Thanks to Federation all of our different servers are able to talk to each other so we can have a shared experience rather than everyone being on one centralized instance managed by one set of administrators (like reddit is).

This provides resilience to the network. If reddit goes down, reddit is down. If lemmy.world goes down, you can still access the content of every community that isn’t on lemmy.world, and if other servers were subscribed to the content on a community from lemmy.world you could still see the content from before the server went offline (and it will resync once it’s back up).

If we put all of our eggs into a single basket, we have a single point of failure. If all of the major communities go to lemmy.world then lemmy.world is that single point of failure. Doing that is effectively just recreating the same issues we had with reddit but with extra steps. By spreading larger communities across servers we ensure that the outage (or permanent closure) of a single instance doesn’t take down half the active communities with it.

My friends instance, crystals.rest, is hosted on a $5/mo Linode with 1GB of RAM

Putting all of the large communities on a single instance is just reddit with more steps. It’s good that one of the larger Lemmy communities is not also on the largest Lemmy instance. Lemmy.world suffers a lot of outages (in part because it’s so centralized), meanwhile this community remains available.

I welcome any alternatives to the current situation, but unfortunately that’s where we are right now.

The only solution would be a massive effort that requires decades of engineering hours and a few million dollars.

Firefox is actually a bit faster and lighter than Chrome these days. Worth checking out it or it’s forks over Chrome

Lesser of two evils

but if you need me to leave, I can. I get that a lot.

I don’t think OP is suggesting this. It’s simply a reminder to those who have the privilege of having extra income that contributing to the core devs improves the experience for everyone, regardless of their individual ability to contribute.

I’m personally happy to donate if it means everyone gets to continue enjoying the growth of the platform, as the real value of the threadiverse is user activity.

Unfortunately no, but any client that supports the subsonic api will work

Navidrome natively supports scrobbling. I also scrobble from Clementine on my desktop.

I’m downloading individual tracks much more than I’m downloading entire albums.

You say that as though there’s some kind of crystal ball we can all look into and see all of the obstacles that will need to be cleared and prepare accordingly. That’s not how scaling web services works, especially distributed ones that are built on a relatively new protocol.
