Folks that rent an Airbnb are often wanting more than a boring room (full kitchen, yard, washer/dryer), which is still without a doubt vastly cheaper than any hotel.

Sure there are shitty hosts with ridiculous rules, but those are things you should be researching in advance to paying.

I have stayed at Airbnbs across 4 states and four countries; other than one of them being cancelled due to plumbing issues, we have not had a single problem and each time it was far cheaper (~40%) and had more options than hotels.

Rabbits would be proud!

In your account settings there is an option to show content by bots; unfortunately this only works if that account is marked as a bot. For the bots I have found that are not marked, I’ve just been reporting and blocking them. It took a few days but now I rarely see them anymore

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:

That is the best part; such confident incompetence coming back to bite them in the ass.

Freedom units!

Sounds like you’re really missing the threads experience; why aren’t you there and posting 250 characters at a time?

It would not be that simple, considering they’d be running multiple instances and require more effort to aggregate, deduplicate, and stage that data - vs just having a single clean database for it

It does actually matter, because that is what is happening.

Head over to the gaming@beehaw.org link that you shared as an example and notice that the posts are 3+ days old and all the recent posts are from instances other than beehaw; this clearly shows that Lemmy.world has not been receiving any data from beehaw for some time already.

As for hurting Lemmy and driving people to threads, is a baseless argument; anyone wanting an experience that Threads offers is not coming to Lemmy; they would either already be there or would be coming from Twitter/Mastadon. Lemmy at its core is very far from what Threads/Twitter/Mastadon try to be.

So many folks on here are jumping on and claiming that decentralization is a one way or that people don’t know anything, but have failed to read the specifications themselves.

Servers SHOULD NOT deliver Block Activities to their object.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/

ActivityPub defines the Block activity for client-to-server (C2S) use-cases, but not for server-to-server (S2S) – it recommends that servers SHOULD NOT deliver Block activities to their object.

So as I mentioned before, Lemmy.world should be blocking those servers at the instance level, preventing it from sharing any data to any identified Facebook instances.

Sure this doesn’t stop Facebook from spinning up other instances, but that will improve a lot more effort on their side and will quickly be identified and blocked by the communities, just like all their urls for ads, api, etc. have been for years.

Anyone can do anything; the point is handing it over automatically and neatly into a database and ready for use.

Because we, the users of Lemmy.world, do not want our data handed over to Facebook

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.

Does codium handle updates for the extensions?

This is what training new folks looks like. Even something as simple as a browser; watching someone click into the address bar and hit enter just to refresh the page, hurts my soul.
