UK here. Most people I work with will have Signal or Telegram. However my kids and the parents groups and schools all use WhatsApp.
None of them could get their friends to switch from WhatsApp. Nobody gives a shit at all about Meta and their dodgy data practices. Convenience is king. “aLL mY frIEnDs aRE oN WHatSaPp!”
They will literally be excluded if they don’t use it.
Super-frustrating and makes me feel pretty helpless tbh.
I was primarily interested in r/soapmaking, r/instantpot and r/breadmachines. Also some true crime ones - I’ve joined the ones I could find here but there’s hardly anyone in them.
Yes totally. I originally used Reddit because I was subscribed to some super-niche hobby communities. I never doom-scrolled the front page or anything. These communities don’t yet exist in Lemmy yet so I’m kind of hanging around to see what happens. And yes, everything is negative. But to be fair, I didn’t sign up expecting to read uplifting stories and people (or bots) are just posting clickbait garbage that the internet is already awash in anyways.
I prefer more discussion forum type communities rather than link aggregators. I just need to keep looking for what I like and subscribing to those so I can filter out the crap.
Dealt with by simply rinsing it afterwards
It was okay. I don’t mean this as a ‘review’, but I saw it a couple of months ago and I don’t really remember what the point of it was. The most interesting thing to me was the dude that played the husband was Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Some of the humour was pretty cringe to be honest. I’m also a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, so that’s how I was coerced into watching it in the first place.
I’m not up to speed on the environmental impact of cotton farming, but it would be pretty cool if this technology could be applied to stuff like the oil palm, which only grows in tropical areas.
I’ve never tried it but I like the idea of it. I’ve been having a protein shake instead of breakfast for years, so this isn’t much of a departure.
If I were to try it, it would be the lower carb versions like the black edition, and also without sweeteners.
The only lingering doubt I have is that it’s arguably ultra-processed (and this applies to my protein shake as well). Even if the individual ingredients aren’t bad, have our bodies evolved to ingest food like this without long term side effects? I guess time will tell.
There are 2 reverse proxies involved. One is Nginx which is used to front both the Lemmy UI and the Lemmy backend. That’s what the ‘proxy’ container in the docker compose file is for. It seems to be a required component of the application stack as different request types to the same host FQDN are sent to different backends (‘upstreams’ in network speak). You could use Caddy here instead if you wanted, which is the point of this page: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/caddy.html. However, that config doesn’t work for the latest version of Caddy (you’ll get an error about stuff being outside of the site block).
The other one (could either be Nginx again or Caddy or anything else you want instead) is to front the whole thing and provide TLS termination using Letsencrypt. This bit is explained here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html#reverse-proxy--webserver
I am not telling you to quit I’m not telling you to know more. I was merely suggesting that the devs put out the minimal required documentation for an experienced admin to get it up and running, while also suggesting a way to not waste money.
Sorry it came out wrong.
Do you have a local device you can try all this on first so you’re not wasting money?
I agree the guides aren’t great, but they assume you have some experience doing this stuff.
Nevermind that, is there a way to block any post with ‘AI’ in the title?
Kind of. Father has turned into a religious right Trump supporting nutjob. COVID is bs, vaccine ‘changed your DNA’, etc. He’s 80 now, and the sad part is he used to be a science teacher.
And then he got leukemia. Because of his BS rhetoric, my mother and brother who live with him couldn’t visit him in the hospital because they all refused to get the vaccine. My brother almost lost his job over it.
Anyways get this: my dad got COVID while he was in the middle of chemo with zero white blood cell count, and recovered in like 3 days! And … is in remission from leukemia and has stopped chemo.
So I mean he’s really damned lucky, but this all just reinforces his view that COVID was nothing and he made the right choice. Meanwhile he spams my inbox with alt right bullshit all day. The fact I live in a different country and only see him once a year keeps things cordial I think.
I used to do all this, but then I gave up and started paying for NextDNS. It’s like having your own Piholes in the cloud. It’s like £18/year and is way more reliable than self hosting, especially for something as crucial as DNS for your home. It also has excellent parental controls if you need that, multiple profiles, good logging and analytics and a decent looking privacy policy.
Sure, it’s not as fun as self-hosting but it’s better then getting shouted at every time someone’s app stops working because of some glitch in your setup.
I’m currently trying to get Lemmy working on Azure Container Apps and Azure Postgres Flexible Server. I’ve got it all deployed, but I’m having some issues with the reverse proxy.
Regarding the ‘best’ choice - well it depends on what you mean by ‘best’. AKS will be the most flexible and ACI will probably be the simplest (if it will even work for Lemmy - I haven’t looked at ACI in years). Container Apps will probably be somewhere in the middle. Container Apps is just an abstraction over Kubernetes, so in theory you should get the scalability and flexibility of k8s without the overhead of managing a cluster.
I got Lemmy up and running on my home Rapberry Pi microk8s cluster pretty easily, so it will work fine on AKS for sure.
I’m looking at Container Apps just as a pet project because I’ve been waiting for a product like this for years. Kubernetes is awesome, but has always been too complicated for the average software developer to use. It needs a layer of abstraction and that’s what Container Apps is. So anyways I figured running Lemmy on it would be a good way to test drive it.
As I said though, I’ve run into some issues and am almost at the point where I was going to ask for help. If anyone’s interested, I can post links to my Github repos with my Terraform code and all that.
If you make the bread yourself (i.e. with a breadmaker) it’s dirt cheap. I buy flour and yeast in bulk and it costs bugger all per loaf.
You could maybe argue bread isn’t healthy because it’s technically a processed food (flour, carbs, etc.), but as others have pointed out moderation is key.
I would use it. Anything to not have to use public transportation or fly in an airplane ever again.
