I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.

(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).

On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.

Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.

I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.

It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.

I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.

I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*

I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.

Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.

Yeah but I might be .05% native american and then I can get a cool eagle tattoo

If its not, then why is it so popular there?

Everyone’s so keen to be 12% Irish so they can claim they enjoy beer because of their proud Irish heritage, or have 0.5% native american so they can claim a tribe and get tattoos that are deeply spiritual (now), or that 8% Italian which explains why they love pizza. For a country that’s so publicly proud - what with the flags and all - everyone’s certainly keen to find any excuse to pretend to be from somewhere else.

I know literally one Australian who’s done it, and they only did it after living in the US for a couple of years.

One of my family members moved to the US and did it. Really pissed me off that they’d do that but I guess it’s the thing to do there?? They’ve since moved back to AU but got to leave a little bit of themselves (and by genetics, me) behind to be sold to the highest bidder <3

Thanks heaps for that.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn

CB radios often had a “PA” switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood

We used to roll those back in the day. A friend gave my very drunk self a lift home one evening and I used it to give commentary to a group of revellers on the side of the road… who threw a beer bottle at us, and then chased the car which luckily didn’t get stopped at the traffic light nearby.

Good times.

“Shorts” and “Games” are like herpes. No matter how many times you try to get rid of them, they just keep appearing.

I do not want short form video, nor do I want to participate in “gaming” that is just poker machines reskinned as a “game” to take your money.

The “not interested” button, it does nothing!

Tesla and unfulfilled promises… Only slightly less an iconic duo than Tesla bad news and stock price going up.

Fair point about AI-generated comments. What’s your take on how this affects online discussions? Are we losing genuine interactions or gaining new insights?

Why the fuck does Aussie zone block so many instances? You guys okay out there?

I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you’re embarrassed about and wouldn’t be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn’t be doing it.
