I’m a windows and Linux user. I received for free an old 2015 MacBook air. I absolutely love it (after installing brew).

With how infuriating Windows 11 is, I’m slowly starting to understand why people prefer to pay more for a Mac.

Sony phones still have the SD card slot, also no notch, a headphone jack while still being water resistant and the RGB notification led, if you’re interested.

Of course they’re more expensive than an iPhone.

Sony phones are now 4k oled screens, but still have RGB led.

Redmi phones are still sold in the €200 range and while they’re not flagship phones, they’re perfect for everyday use.

Same, I recently upgraded from the Sony Xperia 1 to the 1 IV, it burns my hands at times but love all those features!

It’s not a cheap phone, tho.

Upvote for Frank, he’s such an amazing person!

Nope, the documentation suggests 3 ways for installation: from scratch, docker and ansible.

I tried both from scratch and docker and I’m stuck. Eventually I’ll try the ansible way, but first I have to learn ansible…

I’m far from not disappointed.

What’s on and around line 32 in the config?

{% if lemmy_env_vars is defined and lemmy_env_vars|length > 0 %}

I did the ansible install, other than mail setup, the instructions were easy to follow.

you’re not the first suggesting this. Some guides I’ve found online suggest to use the Ansible files “because they’re less broken”.

At this point I’m wondering if the documentation is bad “on purpose” to prevent too many script kiddies to install their own instance.

Well, it’s a spectrum. I worked with a woman that was spending the whole time in our office laying on the floor during her period because how painful it was. But I’m also married with a woman that doesn’t have any symptoms at all and when asked about she said the only annoyance was having tampons ready.

I interact less on Lemmy compared to Reddit, mostly because people here seem to be very vocal and polarised, so every time I have a notification in Lemmy I start groaning “oh god what did I say this time?”

But still, Lemmy is the cradle of humankind and wisdom, compared to Instagram and Facebook.

Yeah, that’s great.

Oh, my apologies.

I don’t want to argue about that, I personally avoid Docker if I can, but can’t deny it’s a great tool and very powerful for the right use cases.

What I wonder is: to you, in your opinion, those commands are really easier than “apt install transmission”?

That’s a great suggestion! I’ll try this one, thank you!

Problem with that it’s that it has Qt as dependency, therefore it’s a bit of a hassle to run in a headless machine.

But it’s still a very solid option.

if the community we’re in puts rtorrent in C tier because it’s “UNIX only” then you and I have a different meaning of “power users”.

Yes but running a web interface on top of rtorrent is not as easy as transmision.

I switched from rtorrent to Transmission. It’s the only one with a ready-to-use web server so I can add and monitor my torrents remotely.

I would never run a torrent program on my main computer. Not that there’s (more) risks, it just feels wrong to me.

Oh, you mean the phone! Sorry I was thinking about MacOS.

Yep, it’s even faster than Windows 10/11 explorer that sometimes hangs for no apparent reason.
