What kind of patch cables are you using here?

Requiring accounts with X days or X karma lead to subs where people would literally post just to get upvotes and the creation of bot accounts.

This is awesome! Did you install the censors in the breaker box?

It averages $25 per month - which is hosting 16tb of storage (running 1tb nVME parity and 3x 8tb HDD) to host 5x Virtual Machines and 33x Docker Containers (which includes MariaDB, Postgres, InfluxDB, and Redis containers that receive a good amount of traffic), and a lot of the storage used for media/photo storage/consumption.

With cloud storage, I was hitting $70/month and that was without having all the backups of photos/media that I now have running on the home server.

I run a UPS for my home server and have Telegraf collect metrics, which I then feed into Grafana (via influxdb) to create a dashboard that uses my local kWph pricing to plot daily/monthly/quarterly/annual costs to run the server.

It might not be super helpful for some, but it’s helped me justify hosting applications at home with NAS instead of paying for cloud hosting

Example of the Dashboard:

Spot on. I don’t care if Reddit continues to exist or fades away; my interaction with it stopped with third party apps.
And with Lemmy, I don’t feel any need to engage with Reddit using their mobile site/app.

To each their own, but Lemmy has been far more interesting, even in smaller communities.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.

You must live your whole life buying from only neighboring farms and individual creators, right?

I am curious which farm produced the smartphone and/or computer you’re using to browse this site?

When a vulnerability at this level happens and a patch is created, visibility is exactly what you need.

It is the reason CVE sites exist and why so many organizations have their own (e.g. Atlassian, SalesForce/Tableau )

It is also why those CVE will be on the front page of sites like https://news.ycombinator.com to ensure folks are aware and taking precautions.

Organizations that do not report or highlight such critical vulnerabilities are only hurting their users.

If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public

I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.

Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.

Sure, but then I doubt anyone will be coming after you for patents

Patent laws aside, having a printer big enough to print a vehicle or even parts of a vehicle to assemble would not be cheap.

Then you would have to go through the hoops of getting the vehicle certified as road safe to even drive it on public roads.

So having the machinery to print it, the resources to print it, the know how to assemble it, and the procedures to have it certified as road safe, would be enough of a barrier before folks would be concerned with patents.

First rule of email: don’t use comic sans font.

It is definitely situational; someone coming home frustrated and venting, probably not the time to offer suggestions or counterpoints; but a casual conversation when hanging out, then folks are willing to discuss if something was right or wrong.

I learned this the hard way from my wife over many years…

Yup - tracking and filtering search results; since then I stay away from DDG.

Can anyone share what bucket permissions they used for pict-rs? I am using minio and used the below policy for an access key, but am still getting unauthorized responses

    "Statement": [
        {

                    "*"
                ]
            },
            "Action": [

                "s3:GetObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [

            ]
        }
    ]
}

Glad to see how many folks are against it. Karma would not bring any value to Lemmy.

Honestly - I agreed with the first paragraph of your comment and was going to upvote, but all the edits made me reconsider; this is a place to share our thoughts, not worry about how many people up/down-ticked our comment.

Throw out a thought and forget the “karma”!

Not to argue against any of the points against Spotify, but YT Music (and it’s parent, Google) are much worse; leaving only Apple Music with a much smaller library as a realistic alternative to streaming music.

I do miss the old days of Google Play Music though - it is a shame what Google did to a neat app with a standalone subscription.
