Trust me. This is CHEAP compared to what I had a decade ago.

One Decade ago, I paid 95$ a month for "15 mbit" ADSL. Which- topped out around 8Mbit/s on a GOOD day. (Rain/moisture wrecked hell on the lines around here.)

I don't think you are helping the case here!

You are just adding another reason as to why I shouldn't be hosting lemmy from my personal infrastructure.

The root issue here, when your local police department knocks down your door with guns drawn in the US, after you were anonymously reported to the feds-

They aren't asking questions. If your children don't get a flashbang to the face during the surprise entry into your home, and your dog doesn't get shot, you are doing good.

Here in the US, you goto jail first. You get somebody putting fingers up your ass looking for drugs first. You have to post your own bail.

THEN, when you finally get a court date months later, THEN, you can make your case as to why there was CASM content, hosted at your IP.

It is NOT WORTH THE RISK!

Yea... Comcast is really bad about that. When I had them a decade back, I made sure to being my own hardware.

My ISP has no problem breaking out the fees.

And.... I am indeed, in the US.

So, not seeing the issue here.

Yup. That's basically what I was trying to say.

Yes. Learned to drive with one. Got my license with one.

Sadly, don't own one right now, but, will prob get one in the future again. Every 2nd or 3rd car I have picked up, has had a stick.

I'm from the mid-west USA.

invasive anti-cheat

Eh, I refuse to play any of the games like that. Although, most of the gaming I do, is strictly lan based, where cheating isn't a huge concern.

No military eh?

Guess I won't be eating there.

Also, with very few exceptions... you won't find armed military people walking around in the civilian area.... so, the rule against armed people is illegitimate here.

I'd love to see the same comparison with more real-world use-cases.

Code golf, is mostly pretty simple use-cases, which have been optimized many times over.

When, you build out an application with a user-interface, proper event handling, etc.... c++ is MUCH more verbose then c# for example, and they are ranked pretty close together.

I mean... good chance just about any of them will work on linux, with pretty minimal effort.

I used to play WoW on linux, back in 2008/2009, without issues....

Yup.

Yea....

I'm up to over 140T of storage,

I have a FULLY loaded r730XD, 256G of ram, all drive bays filled. All PCIe LANES used. (ie, lots of bifurcation).

I have a proxmox cluster consisting of it, a few SFFs, and a couple MFFs. 10G connectivity for everything but the micros.

Have a ceph cluster. Have a kubernetes cluster. Have iBGP routing in place, multiple firewalls.

I have a bit of everything here. Its a fun hobby.

Oh, and don't forget, a 20kwh entire home UPS / battery backup, with another 2.4kwh dedicated to the server rack.

Authentik has been fantastic.

Extremely flexible, and customizable. You can tailor the entire workflow.

Also, supports radius, ldap, and a few others. They keep adding new features every month.

Literally any hobby I have seriously messed with.

Although- racecars was never cheap.

My homelab started off pretty cheap. But, at this point, I am quite certain I have a few thousand bucks worth of hardware. Shit- I have two thousand bucks in just HDDs, SSDs/NVMes...

Note, apparently, lemmy will get pretty pissy if pictrs isn't working..... and the "primary" lemmy GUI will straight-up stop working.

Although, https://old.lemmyonline.com/ will still work.

And- I am with you. My pictrs storage, has ended up taking up quite a bit of room.

Yup.

I sent a step further, and commented out the pictrs related configuration from the lemmy.hjson too.

Yup.

So far, mostly everything appears to work still. But, trying to upload an image, just throws an error.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON

I don't see a way to actually "gracefully" disable it, but, this works.

Edit- don't just stop pictrs.

Lemmy gets very pissy... and b reaks.

Yup. Nope.

Pictrs is just completely disabled now. Rather be safe, then sorry.

TeamSpeak ftw
