Nope, not at all.

Behind every successful story, is a lot of failures. (or- really rich parents).

The other admin now “owns” this instance, and hosts it in the EU.

I am just a glorified moderator now.

I’d say, you have a small instance.

I used to host lemmyonline.com, which has somewhere around 50-100 users.

It was upwards of 50-80g of disk space, and it used a pretty good chunk of bandwidth. CPU/Memory requirements were not very high though.

Nope.

Still just feel like a kid, with extra responsibilities, while raising my own kids. Guess sometime around 50 or so i’ll start feeling like an “adult”

Although, at least I call myself a dumbass, after doing something stupid, or wasting money on crap.

It could end up being a shart.

But, it has no network connectivity! That is against God’s will.

(Thus, no telemetry either)

Very interesting os though. Lots of very cool concepts

I saw it through one of the apps which scrapes reddit comments for archival.

Reddit quit making those stats public a while back, sadly

Don’t make the same mistake reddit did, by assuming active users = engagement.

Look at reddit’s stats, active users didn’t drop very drastically when everyone left. However, engagement/comments dropped drastically.

You don’t see porn on the front page of lemmy either, if you used the “subscribed” view, instead of treating “ALL” as if it doesn’t contain everything.

Hence my reaction to these issues. https://lemmyonline.com/post/459013

But… under new management now, in Germany. https://lemmyonline.com/post/587565

HEY LOCAL PD OFFICE,

SOMEONE TRIED TO UPLOAD SOME POTENTIALLY CHILD PORN TO MY LEMMY INSTANCE.

No… I don’t have an IP for who uploaded it.

Sorry, I don’t know where it came from. It just got federated across the fediverse to me.

No… I don’t have the content either, it doesn’t get saved.

Sorry… I guess I really don’t have any details at all for you.

not upload CSAM to for trolling communities. Even novel GenerativeAI CSAM. Users cannot upload CSAM images and never submit a post or comment (making them invisible to admins). The images will be automatically rejected during upload

There wouldn’t be anything to delete, as it would have never been saved with this.

I cannot confirm, nor deny.

But, I will say, once upon a time, before the days of netflix, if you wanted to watch things, you needed to spend a fuckload of money, to watch it on cable, with commercials every 10 minutes… or, you drove to a blockbuster. So, you either did that, or you obtained the movie/tv/etc, via a torrent.

Then, netflix came along, gave you a ton of content, at a reasonable price. And- then, there wasn’t really much of an advantage to obtaining media via other alternative means. So, netflix took over by storm, and piracy went way down.

Then, everyone wanted a piece of the action. So, then Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, HBO+, ESPN+, (And insert 50 other network-specific streaming services) jumped into the fray. Then, they all made exclusive streaming contracts. So, if you watch a handful of things, you would need a handful of streaming service subscriptions.

And- again, the alternative option of piracy, became the better option, as you can watch whatever the f- you want, WHENever you want, without having to pay for 50 different subscriptions every month, just to watch a TV series, which they decide to cancel after the 2nd season.

Do you justify?

If the fucking scumbags didn’t get greedy in the first place, we wouldn’t be in this situation. But, no, everyone wanted an extremely generous piece of the pie, and now everything has went to shit again. Fuck those guys. Isn’t like the actual actors/writers staring in movies gets any of the money anyways.

This shit should be all standardised around [micro|milli|Ø|kilo|tera]

Agree with you there.

joules

But- would instead, suggest using watts instead of joules. In general, its quite well suited to electrical devices.

Have a 1,000w / 1kw device? Its going to draw 1,000wh of energy, or 1kw.

Although, the units are extremely similar. wh/kwh are defined as energy per hour, while a joule, is energy (in watts) per second.

The same exact reason ISPs sell bandwidth in Mb/s, instead of the proper unit.

Quite simply, 500Mbit/s sounds a lot more impressive than 0.5Gbps or 62.5MB/s.

7zip is the way.

Unless, I am working in linux. Then tar+gzip.

Unless, I am doing backups or ZFS. Then, LZO typically, due to speed and minimal overhead.

Funny note- the way we actually get things to near absolute zero, is by shooting it with lasers.

depends.

In the middle of angry-programming? The linkin park will be turned up to 80%. I want to make sure Chester’s screams wakes the dead.

Business as usual? around 20%. Enough to drown out external noises.

I used to have a list, somewhere. But. will, instead summarize it a bit.

External-facing websites (for both myself, and hosted for other clients).

A few discord bots I created, and host.

10-20 containers for home-automation.

10-15 containers for “Media” management.

A handful of containers for document/photo archival / storage / etc.

Containers for managing storage, backups. etc.

Containers for network management (unifi), SMTP, etc.

Containers for monitoring.

Keep in mind, most common “applications” will run at least two containers (one for the app, one for the database), and, occasionally a redis container.

I run services redundantly when possible. Ie- traefik runs as a daemonset, across all of my nodes. As does longhorn storage.

That being said, I’d guess I am only running around 40-60 total applications, but, those 40-60 turns into a couple hundred containers.

There is a current PR, which I think has been merged. That being said, next release will likely contain that functionality.
