People like self-promotion and the chance of getting millions of views for your latest post. The Fediverse is like a nerdy book club in comparison (which is why I'm here).
The current default installation, especially if using Ansible, doesn't use any commercial image hosting services. You need to go out of the golden path to do so.
Even using an S3-compatible host is not in the default path: the files are stored to the server file system. So, yeah, maybe this is the reason. And of course, giving your content to a commercial entity is something people in the fediverse doesn't like that much. Wasn't the idea to get rid of these entities that can just be bought by a billionaire asshole and suddenly killing your community.
Somehow I stopped watching movies a few years ago, which kind of annoys me but we can't find time that much for a long movie. Of course binge watching TV series is another thing...
For me, the three rewatchables were:
Stanley Kubrick: Barry Lyndon - If you're into cinematography and ultra techy perfection, this is the movie. And the main character is such an asshole.
Celine Sciamma: Portrait of a Lady on Fire - This beautiful piece hits hard. Celine has an eye for women, and the story how the ladies take care of their own business since the beginning of time is really captivating.
Pedro Almodóvar: All About My Mother - A queer classic. I really like the old Almodóvar telenovelas on acid, but this mid-career masterpiece has everything: the cinematography, the crazy characters and the melodrama.
It gets more expensive if you strart a successful meme community with lots of data. Some big Mastodon servers already store gigabytes per hour. Even with Cloudflare the expenses can soon get pretty high.
But yes, everything else with Lemmy is just a few euros a month.
No no, they do not care about us. They have an audience of 1B people who care about branding and self-promotion. Here you have 12M people who are very critical what you do and hate advertisement.
Vaikka itse olen ollut erittain rehellinen ja suorapuheinen kannabiksen kaytosta (kaytan edelleen, asun maassa jossa se on dekriminalisoitua, ikaa melkein 40v), en suosittele valttamatta tarjoamaan kenellekaan mahdollisuutta kayttaa tata tietoa sinua vastaan. Olen itse toissa alalla jossa kannabiksen poltolla ei ole mitaan valia, mutta monella alalla tammoiset puheet voivat esimerkiksi maksaa tyopaikan.
Teet toki itse oman ratkaisusi, mutta kehoittaisin aina pieneen varovaisuuteen varsinkin tassa nykyisessa suomalaisessa poliittisessa ilmapiirissa.
If you're an admin, you can set slur words as a regex in the settings. For example, I've set certain fruit computers as slur words, so I just see redacted in place of these words. And you can't post messages with these words from my instance.
Learn a dynamic lazy functional programming language first and then start building a flake without much help or documentation because that's what you should be doing and the default installation doesn't use that mechanism. The docs you find will assume you understand category theory already.
About few years later you are a god and there is no way you're going to use anything else ever again.
There's two shops here in Berlin that sell guanciale, and pecorino romano is quite easy to find too. It took me a few years to perfect my carbonara, but I can make it quite good nowadays.
If you go into any restaurant and order carbonara here, you get cream and bacon. Oh, oh, and the last time I was in the US, I had to see the Olive Garden with my own eyes. I got some trolly pictures there, take a look at their idea of what carbonara is:
Took me a while to understand where the name carbonara comes from. In Italy it means the coal miner. So you put enough black pepper to it that they look like a little coal pieces sprinkled around the pasta. Delicious.
What I like about Lemmy is how it's UI and backend are completely separate. I've seen others already asking for old.reddit type of an interface, so it is just a matter of time now...
I've been using Plex and Plexamp for ages. I have about two terabytes of flacs in my NAS, and Plexamp seamlessly encodes it to 128 kbps Opus when listening on a mobile network, or streams the flac as-is if on Wi-Fi. It has a good recommendation engine and a very nice UI. Worth the money, if you ask me.
For a good task manager, btop is really good.
