Technically correct. :)

Kind of how foss in general works as well. If you contribute anything, you‘re technically making the app.

My first instinct was „meh“ but this reads like a great guide for non tech users to grasp the fedi.

The „maya“ convo strongly reminded me of green hell.

Otherwise it looks cool. The synced wolves need some work I guess. I wishlisted it. Good luck!

Btw. What engine?

Yeah, awesome if threads make it easy to go from free to corporate without a hussle /s

The „you have to like people“ part took me nearly 20 years to figure out. I hate people in general with possible remedy for people who are nice. I‘m exceptional at managing people, I just dont vibe with them. This leads to absurd situations where everyone is happy, professionally but folks just hate my guts.

So, I now work alone and am happy with it. :)

Exactly my point. I tried installing it and it was great fun but under no circumstances is that “beginner ready”.

Thank you very much! This tool is great indeed!

Hi there, whoever suggested linux for your switch played a mean joke on you. Granted, arch works well if you know what you‘re doing, apparently. But no way it is a good starting distro.

I‘m not sure how eldenring works on linux but most games run without problems.

One little caveat is this: you need to understand that windows is a billion dollar product while linux is mostly community driven. It costs nothing, except many people donating their time. So I‘d suggest adopting a „its insane that hobbyists are able to build something like this“ view. Otherwise you‘ll get frustrated and will end up im privacy invasive windows territory again.

If you want a more gaming ready distro, try pop os or bazzite. Good luck

It doesnt sound dumb. Maybe its just not for you.

I play minetest online and some folks I chat with, some I dont. Its a private server so peeps dont bother others.

Big chat servers like on discord bore me because its mostly just trashtalk. Either lemmy or matrix, both are fine.

Hit me up if you wanna discuss it. Have a good one.

I solved it with help. My fail2ban filters were too strict.

I really enjoyed reading your comment. You and share a ton of similarities in views and other things. Feel free to hit me up on matrix (link in profile). Have a good one.

Thanks for commenting on this. It‘s cool to have more peeps share their experiences.

On the lemmy part I‘m partly with you. Lemmy itself is not the issue. It is what it does with postgres. I have multiple postgres instances, one for each service. The lemmy postgres is insane while the mastodon postgres is easy on the cpu.

quick fyi: rare cars seem like a pretty easy way to dox someone. Be careful of any data you share online.

i believe you. But its not only about installlation.

Although NC is great for the right usecase. If file storage is the usecase, NC is massive overkill.

Awesome Selfhosted has software for every usecase: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to answer my comment. You folks are doing incredible work and I wanted to say thanks! :)

Sadly, I‘m not a database expert, otherwise I would help. So donations are the only form I can help with at this point.

From other comments I read, the database seems to be the issue, not lemmy. Is uses postgres and that uses the resources. Lemmy itself is no problem.

Lemmy is heavier on the cpu than for example mastodon or matrix are but a lot less on the harddrive. Its insane. I use matrix the most, then lemmy, then mastodon. Still, mastodon sucks hdd like crazy, matrix as well. Only lemmy is easy on the hdd.

Of course I‘m running private instances. You can never know why public instances go bonkers. Maybe someone is abusing it for other things.

Anyway, lemmy does have some moderation tools but I agree. They need work. You have to know a lot about linux, databases and have to figure out a lot of stuff if you have problems with lemmy. Thats not okay.

But as always with foss. If you run a public instance, you should accept donations and if they dont cover the costs so you can pay someone to make a fork for you that has what you need, you might be doing something wrong.

Not annoying at all.

I‘m running a public instance on two threads and I think 2 gb of ram. A private instance shared with other services on 6 threads and 8 gb of ram. Make of that what you want. :)

I would probably rent a vps which you could extend if needed but start small. With 2 threads and 4 gb of ram at least.

Anecdotal evidence: I run two instances, a private and a public one. Neither uses a lot of resources.

But I get the database thing. Its spiking every couple minutes and a lot every hour. It’s not a big deal if you have 2 threads at least but I can see how it doesnt work for everyone in every scenario.

I‘m glad alternatives exist and I‘m much more positive on AP alternatives than protocol exiles.
