Agree on the handpicking yes. Nothing bad in reposting content, but mass posting just drowns communities and doesn’t generate engagement.

No thank you. Just leeching content from reddit will never get Lemmy anywhere.

I blocked all content reposted from Lemmy (there was an instance dedicated to that iirc).

First of all, posts without comments are pointless. Interaction and comments is what grows Lemmy. Second, bot posts are not well received by most here I think.

I can see it useful only as a “reddit backup” of kind, in case the platform goes offline for good and all that is lost.

I would worry for the level of moderation required to filter shitty / ai / bots etc.

Well, that’s true of most internet. Luckly, internet Is not (yet) real life.

I am not american and frankly find American style polemics quite hard to understand. Mind me I have quite a few american good friends, and I lived in the USA for a few years too, nothing against USA itself.

But yes Tolerance is at the base of civil life and that’s true even with intolerant people.

How does the Lemmy creators actually personally benefit from the fact I run my own Lemmy instance?

I do not donate to them, but how is the technology created be them evil if it fits my concept of decentralized web?

Do they get money because I run my instance o use another one not under their control? O doubt it

I am actually using their tech against themselves, so what?

Maybe the fact I am not a native speaker affect how my words are understood.

Actually yes fascist and communist are two ends of the spectrum, I have no idea what tankies means, it seems to be some slang or jargon.

But no, why would using lemmy means people from Lemmy.ml controlling what we read? That’s totally bonkers.

And you seems to be from a non US instance, it might be related to the fact you seems to be the only agreeing with me.

But yes, at the end the concept it the technology should not be judged by the political views of the creator.

I also agree with not supporting it finacially if that money goes where you don’t like.

I really don’t like this dangerous trend of condemning actions of people based on wether we agree with them or disagree with them.

Because this behavior is at the base for intolerance and strong polarization.

First of all, I want to judge your actions for what they are, not for what your political views are. So Lemmy is good and I like that full stop. There will be better alternatives (maybe already are) and I will judge them without agreeing with their creators political views.

Second, I prefer to discuss and interact with people who have different views and political ideas than me, because that’s where I grow my ideas and enforce or dispute them. Enough of the echo chamber where the “algorithm” already places us in every social fucking media.

Kids, it’s by enforcing and supporting even the ideas contrary to yours that you grow up. Yes this is annoying and can cause serious brain engagement, but yeah, that’s how we progress.

Even fascists or communist ideas. Zionist or pro-Palestine, pro gender or anti woke, if we start judging peoples actions only for their ideas we become fascists.

I was also tought that what you do is more significant than what you say. Judge by actions, not words.

So I don’t dislike technology because the guy behind it is a fascist or a communist.

Said so, if anybody thinks that can do a better Lemmy by forking it, go ahead and let me judged by the actions.

I use endurain but mostly to backup my Garmin activities.

It’s nice, lots of development and efforts and very polished.

Love ha.

I suggest to purchase a home assistant gren device as its really well done and super stable. I moved to one of those after hosting ha on many different devices over time, and would not go back.

You also support the project, which is cool.

SAS drives tends to be top quality server stuff… I would keep them until the break then replace with cheaper sata.

Unless you need something less power hungry (SSSs?) or less noisy.

Also keep the hardware raid, why not. You should be able to remove the raid inside its bios and see the four disks individually.

Tried photoprism, then tried immich. Never went back.

Easier installation, easier management, more polished, just better overall

400 bad request?

I worked through three zogbee dongles from Amazon including the sonoff one.

Always had issues with my mesh. Upgrading to the one provided by Nabu guys (the v1) fixed them all and it’s been almost one year rock solid now. No more disconnection or better devices losing it

OpenList?

This, run your own instance.

That’s the point I guess. You don’t like others rules? Set your instance and live by your rules.

I follow the good 9pd 3 2 2 rule. Three backups, in two locations, one is remote.

First copy on an external hard drive that gets mounted only for that, then unmounted.

Second copy still at home, on a disk connected to an OpenWRT access point in the patio.

Third copy on my VPS, so remote.

Each night restic take care of all that.

I never tested copyparty… Thank you for the test… Nice! I am using OpenList at this time, but CC is also nice.

Yes it’s docker… Immich is only deployed via docker.

Indeed its your docker mount points / volumes.

Just use Nginx… It isn’t that difficult, after all.

Or try any one of the “simplified” other proxies out there. I never seen the need for NPM anyway, as it just obfuscate nginx configuration stuff from your eyes.
