This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. For a complete list of posts, browse on the original instance.

Yeah that sounds great.

How does one get one of those manuals, tools, and parts according to the law?

mesamunefire ,

Yep just ping time and latency make this a no go for a vast majority of us.

I got stardew working on a local network and playing on the miyoo mini. It was cool for the novelty, but had terrible performance outside a local network. After only a couple of hops it's unplayable and will disconnect.

mesamunefire OP ,

Agreed.

I think that just starting with networking might be the way to go. I mean if someone wants to a market a fedi alternative, they would have a huge advantage on software developers, server hosters, and generally our small communities.

Such a great series full of funny and gut punching moments.

The books are fun to read, but the audiobook blows it out of the water. https://soundbooththeater.com/series/dungeon-crawler-carl/

Id rather get a vehicle/parts that will fail reliably than one that is bolted on everything and you cant repair anything.

mesamunefire ,

You can do the same in mastodon. It's great.

mesamunefire OP ,

Why make money once when you can get people hooked on a subscription and pay many times the value?

Is Craigslist Dying?

I went to Craigslist in my local area for the first time in awhile. I used to like “best of” Craigslist because some of them were great, there still are some, but its just not the same. A community I used to visit had about half the number of posts as I remember, and of jobs and things for sale, I would say roughly half the...

mesamunefire ,

Not where I'm at. Less young people have Facebook so will use other services like Craigslist. Yard sales are also popular.

Blogger Alternative for the Fediverse

[UPDATE] Thank you for your comments but I found that Write Freely was well on paper but not funny to set up (self hosting) and maybe a little dead. I found that https://bearblog.dev met the specifications well. Although it is not integrated into the Fediverse, it is free and respectful of privacy!...

mesamunefire ,

I heard that WordPress has some sort of fediverse plugin, but no idea how far they got.

mesamunefire ,

Awesome job to the team! It's my daily driver.

mesamunefire ,

Give it a shot, even works with steam/PC games https://linuxmint.com/

mesamunefire OP ,

I wonder sometimes if the numbers are wrong. For example a server I host is up quite a bit in user count and posts, but according to the site the numbers are down considerably. It's strange but it's only a less than 20ish users setup. Plus not all federated services act the same.

Some have sub/supersets of the protocol implemented. For example, bookwyrms way of working with posts are wildly different than mastodon and hashtags will work one way and not the other.

I think it ultimately means that number may not be as accurate for a while while all these different servers figure out what it means to be federated.

mesamunefire OP ,

Yeah I love being in a union. It's 👍

mesamunefire ,

One of the best features of lemmy. A bit of transparency is great.

mesamunefire ,

There's been people talking about making a federated version (of LinkedIn), but I havent seen any actual code written.

I think it has potential, but without enough people wanting to hop on, it will be an empty solution.

What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

mesamunefire ,

My pi costs probably around 20 a year lol.

mesamunefire ,

reddit is about the same in my opintion, but I do see a lot more activity on the lemmy side. I think its a combination of:

  1. Less rules around communities. The barrier of entry is much lower here to post, and things dont get auto-removed because of trigger happy mods.
  2. 2% of users post 90% of content. And a lot of them moved over to lemmy.
  3. Servers can be brought into existence and removed at will. This may seem like a bad thing, but what it means is that the best lemmy servers can evolve and be successful in a way reddit cant. Some have different modifications to make them more user friendly, some have excellent uptime, etc...etc...
  4. People from mastodon/misskey/other fediverse instances can comment/post. Even if that is not what a vast majority of us do, it does help the numbers and will continue to help engagement.

Also to @Blaze Do you know if the sats above take into account the generally banned instances of lemmy? I know that a lot of instances earlier this year decided to become de-federated from the general fediverse. Do you happen to know if the website take into account those servers?

mesamunefire ,

Fair enough.

mesamunefire ,

Self hosting piped helps too. Love my little system.

mesamunefire ,

Lemmy instances are designed to be born and die. So it's a good thing in my opinion.

mesamunefire ,

This is great.

mesamunefire OP ,

yes

mesamunefire OP ,

It's all good. It's really crazy and most of the chapters are free on their website.

And the author makes a metric fucknton of updates per month. At one point I thought there might be ghost writers....but the author streams for patreon which is wild. So yeah no funny business.

mesamunefire ,

This is excellent! Thanks. Anyway to self host? I dont want to bog down your system.

mesamunefire ,

Not the op but not now by the sound of it.

mesamunefire ,

It's a fun one once you start following people and looking for recommendations from them.

mesamunefire ,

Makes sense. I wish bookwyrm did recommendations based on other people's recommendations. Or category recommendations maybe?

mesamunefire ,

Thats a good idea, ill give it a try.

mesamunefire ,

Well i tried. Hopefully I get a response?

mesamunefire ,

Same it works well.

mesamunefire OP ,

Its interesting to see what issues his audience was having and some common solutions. Just like any OS, there are some issues but its also interesting to see how people are using Linux.

mesamunefire OP ,

There's a lot of other people that use this instance. And I found it because I looked for a hashtag in tiltube, another peertube instance.

I never had any luck but https://joinpeertube.org/en_US/browse-content does exist.
