First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

Second you'll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server's IP.

Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

If that's not comprehensible to you, I'd really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I'd recommend starting a Lemmy instance.

Absolutely, I didn't mean otherwise. It's just a comment that the site seems to accept uh - controversial fundraisers that others won't.

I recognized it because I donated to that Mangione fundraiser.

Depends on your admin. And the admin/mod of the community you're posting on.

If the admin of the instance hosting the community you're posting to (or a mod of said community) removes your comment, it would prevent anyone seeing your comment anywhere.

If another admin removed your comment, it would do nothing for anyone except the users of that admin's instance.

Bans are similar. YOUR admin can ban you which would stop you being able to post anywhere. Other admins can ban you too, but it would only stop your comments/posts appearing to their users, and keep any comments/posts of yours on their communities from being seen by anyone outside your instance.

If for example lemmy.world banned me, a thelemmy.club user, lemmy.world users would not see any future comments from me. If I then commented on a post on !memes@lemmy.world the lemmy.world server would reject my comment and not tell any other instance of it. Users of thelemmy.club would see my comment, but nobody else. My comments/posts on non .world communities would be seen as normal by everyone but .world users.

I thought for sure "1022" was going to be some neo-nazi number. As far as I can tell, it's not.

Unfortunately that site is also the one that held the biggest Mangione fundraiser. It doesn't seem to moderate it's fundraisers beyond the absolute legal minimum.

One can hope

It's still massive without distortion.

That's fair. Thing I didn't like about bread makers is you can't really get a good loaf out of them. It's good for getting a hunk of bread to put some butter on and that's great, but not so great for sandwiches. Top doesn't brown as well

Get some bread pans and some elbow grease.

A stand mixer would be ideal but it's really not so bad to knead bread by hand.

You can buy no OS. Or even no included drive. You'll save on having to pay the Windows license.

If I could make a recommendation for Spanish specifically that helped me - I'll paste a comment I made a few months ago

I highly recommend checking out Dreaming Spanish - it’s a channel/site that teaches Spanish through a method called comprehensible input. Basically, all you do is watch, listen, and read in Spanish totally in Spanish, no translations whatsoever. That sounds intimidating, but the beginner stages they really talk at you like you’re a baby almost. They talk with their hands a lot and use drawings. That’s the most important part, because in the beginning you won’t be able to understand any Spanish or hardly any. But by making it so simple you can basically understand even though you don’t know the words. After a hundred or so hours of this, you can move on to slightly less easy content. And so on and so on until you can understand just regular media in spanish. At that point, your learning will really take off, because you can watch things that you’re actually interested in and that will capture your attention more.

They don’t do any explicit grammar or vocabulary practice. That’s on purpose, the arguments of comprehensible input is that language isn’t learned, it’s acquired. You didn’t learn English by rote memorization, you listened a lot. If you can hear a few words and make the connection to the meaning by watching, and then you hear that word dozens or hundreds of times more - you will have a better understanding of that word than a simple translation flashcard could ever give you. Because words don’t have just one meeting they’re complex and change in different situations. But the best part is through this method you won’t even realize that you’re learning these words. Same goes with grammar, with this method things just kind of sound right. You can use the correct grammar, but you might not necessarily be able to explain why. Just like native speakers.

I’ve personally listened, or watched over a thousand hours of things in Spanish in a bit over a year. And at this point most media is almost as easy to watch as English for me. I also read the full Harry Potter series in Spanish. (It was rough at first, but after I got used to the writing style a lot of the times I’d forget it was in Spanish in the more exciting sections) I need to practice speaking more, I can definitely do it and be understood but it lacks pretty significantly behind my understanding but that is really just a question of how much practice I can get. But once you’ve banked 1k, 1.5k hours the rate at which your speaking will improve is way faster than the process of learning so far.

Check out this this playlist of videos that really explains things in more depth. It has English subtitles you’ll have to turn on. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlpPf-YgbU7GrtxQ9yde-J2tfxJDvReNf

They have a ton of free content, and if you want more you can pay just $8 a month - but honestly if you do a few hours a day after a couple months you’ll be able to just watch some YouTube videos of native speakers and you won’t really need dreaming Spanish anymore. But the site does have a handy hour tracker that you don’t need to pay for at all that I still use to this day.

I’ve tried to learn French, german, and even Spanish before but until this try when I discovered this method, I didn’t really get anywhere. At this point I’m almost comfortable saying that I’m bilingual. And it really doesn’t take that much effort just make it a routine, and once you can get into more advanced and interesting videos just watch things that you’re interested in. When you really get good, you can just watch the TV shows and movies that you already like to watch, but put on the Spanish dub. It’s that easy. I’m not doing anything differently now than I was before I knew Spanish but I’m learning every day because I just do the things I normally did but in spanish!

You can start their Super Beginner (most basic level) here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlpPf-YgbU7GbOHc3siOGQ5KmVSngZucl

But I’d recommend doing it on https://www.dreamingspanish.com/ where it will automatically track your watch time, let you filter by person/accent/level/topic, etc.

The beginning is by far the hardest part. The least interesting videos, the least level of comprehension. It will feel like a chore. Luckily the beginning is where you have the most motivation to push through it.

What language are you trying to learn?

It's probably IN the US. I made a post about one I saw a month ago. https://thelemmy.club/post/24183750

Donate to devs. Donate to your instance. Post. Comment. Be active.

True, good luck breathing

That's cool.

It would still be even cooler if the app makers just packaged them for distros. Or even just Flatpak.

But that's a cool project I'll keep it in mind for my next go with an immutable distro

That's cool and all but it would be even cooler if you could just install and keep it updated through your package manager

Why drill down to "rail worker"

Sick pay isn't mandated by federal law. Only a few states mandate it.

And fun fact only ~10 states require breaks in the work day. No federal law either.

Why don't you just say progressive then seems to sum it up

Hope that I don't start the early spread of New World diseases to indigenous Americans

And I'd be dead by the end of the week
