I got a mini pc (e.g. a NUC). I did this after the price for rasps went sky high. Check out used NUCs, you can get a lot of power for the price.

I backup Proxmox VMs and templates onto my NAS, and from there into the cloud. If you don’t want the cloud maybe auto backup to an external drive and keep it somewhere safe (out of range of a possible disaster to your home)
I went with a Synology and have been very happy with it. Easy to use, very nice GUI, yet quite powerful with the features provided.
From there I moved on to NUC. I used to host several things through Docker on the Synology but I’m now moving many of those things to the NUC.
I have a 5g home internet backup connection. My primary internet is fiber, so my thinking if there is a cut somewhere it could also affect cable, so I use over the air as my backup.
Way to go! It’s hard sticking with it when you are vacationing.
He should have been. Especially after the photos of Abu Ghraib came out. But it is the U.S. so he payed no penalties.
Ugh, what a mess. Thought about this for a while today and three thoughts started circulating in my head:
Hire an actual lawyer and get firm legal advice on this issue. I think this would fall to the admins, not the devs. Maybe an admin who wanted could volunteer to contact a lawyer? We could do a gofundme for one-time consultation legal fees.
Stop using pictrs completely and instead use links to a third party such as Imgur or whatever. They’re in this business and I’m sure already have dealt with it and have a solution. Yes it sucks that Imgur (or whatever third party) could delete our legitimate images at any time, but IMHO it’s worth it to avoid this headache. At any rate it offloads the liability from an admin. Of course, IANAL and this is a question we would want to ask a lawyer about.
Needing a GPU increases the expenses for an admin significantly. It will start to not be worth it for quite a few to keep their instance running.
Thanks for bringing up this point. This is obviously a nuanced issue that is going to need a well-thought-out solution.
I was thinking the same thing. Stop storing the images and offload to Imgur or whatever. They likely already have a solution for this issue. Show images inline instead of a link. Looks the same, no liability.
Saying that, this is tremendously cool. I was given pause though by another poster on the thread mentioning the legality of using this in the U.S.
LMAO. So, so true and I have no problem with it. Self-hosted seems to be one of the most active communities on Lemmy. I learn a lot and y’all all seem cool.
Gotta ban something (/s)
Yeah, it happens pretty frequently actually. Right now it is Executive + Senate vs House.
It means deadlock but not total deadlock. Just more compromise.
Now if it is Executive + House vs Senate as in your question, that has some new conflicts. The Senate confirms judicial appointments, so often in this situation the president’s nominees have a very hard time getting confirmed.
Besides the CPU how was the other resource usage on your VPS? Like memory, storage, etc
I don’t like the “attention token” nonsense—I turn that off—but I love Brave and its search engine. It is cool to have a search engine return results that are actually different than other SE’s and have those results be very good.
In fact, I find its results to often be better than the big search engines because results aren’t overtuned for SEO
Christie was one of the first to drop out of the 2016 primary race in support of Trump. He’s also responsible for essentially ending Rubio’s campaign right in the middle of a debate.
His early Trump support will always define him to me. With that said I’m glad he is actually speaking truth now.
Sounds like a jerk. Hey if she wants to be a a manager maybe she could be transferred to a different store… 🤞
If you have private 1-1 conversations with your boss that might be a good time to bring this up.
Good article. I would imagine one large stressor for admins is “how am I supposed to pay for this?” With instances needing to upgrade because of the huge influx of users.
The article suggests a non-profit for mental health support for admins and moderators. While I like the idea, I think we can go further—a non profit to help pay for running instances and paying admin and developer salaries. The names mentioned in the article would make sense for something like this (for instance, Mozilla. Also, how about the EFF?)
Could they be doing the upgrade to .18.3 and ran into problems? A bunch of other instances upgraded today.
Nice workaround!
This is very interesting. What date will show up in Lemmy for the post? The current date/time or the original?
Are there advantages to this over self hosting Vaultwarden?
