That makes a lot of sense and where I’m leaning towards as well

While my homeserver still has plenty of resources to spare, I see a lot of them going towards multiple DB containers. It’s nice for “segregating” the containers, but backups are also a pain, gotta plan backups/restores for multiple DBs

Same story with an s3 (well, minio) instance running. Seems like it would make more sense to centralize DB and file operations and having different services talk to them. Then if I ever needed to move them into separate servers, it wouldn’t be as big a move.

Thanks!

I’m anxious. And a furry. OwO (but shyly)

Immich for personal photos and pictures I take

Of course they’re expensive think of how much labor it takes to put them in the damn shells!

That the only resource a person intrinsically has is time, and that everyone’s time is worth the same and invaluable.

The way it was explained to me is that every Lemmy instance is basically a full on “reddit” in that it’s a link aggregator, supports user made communities (ie: subreddits), commenting, etc. You can run Lemmy in private mode and this is exactly how it functions!

On the side of what “federation” is, it’s that all the instances can (theoretically) communicate with each other and share posts and content amongst themselves. So let’s say you make a post on lemmy.world, because my instances “federates” with lemmy.world I am able to see your post and comment on it from my instance. Lemmy.world and my instance periodically update each other with posts our respective users make. Your post lives on Lemmy.world, my comment replying it to lives on mine, and when I post my comment Lemmy.world receives a notice that I’ve done so, which then creates a notice for you that I’ve made the comment blah blah.

The benefit to federation mainly is that it gives a lot of control to users on how the platform functions. Firstly it doesn’t congregate the entire userbase to a single company and/or site. No single instance should remotely be as large as reddit. But because they communicate together, you can approve/deny what instances (as an instance admin) you’re “federating” with. Don’t like the users and moderation policy of another instance? You can “de-federate” with them and block their content from showing up on your instance.

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend applies here I think. Kotick sucks and needs to be gone and I’m glad for that but I don’t think this solution to that is much better long term for gamers and consumers.

I’m a big fan of the saying that “time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time” for that exact reason. If you want to do nothing then do nothing, that’s perfectly okay!

What is sad, though, is that I feel like this is saying you get so tired and burnt out from working just to survive that even when you get time off you don’t get to enjoy it or do things you want because you’re just so burnt out from working.

When I was a kid my mom and I would occasionally take little overnight trips to random towns we’d never been. Just open a map find a place a few hours away and go there and see what’s up. Mind you, this is before the days of the internet and GPS, and when I say a kid I’m like 8 or 9 I think?

Anyways mom opens up the map, says this little town right on the coast looks neat let’s go there, and off we went. The town was neat! Little sea-side fishing village. I don’t remember it super well, but I remember walking on the pier and my mom letting me spend some allowance money on Pogs and a metal slammer. I do remember that slammer, Ricky from Kindergarten, and I FUCKING KNOW YOU TOOK IT.

Anyways we conclude our tour of the pier and start looking for hotels and not a single room is available. There’s several hotels in the town, but they’re all booked up, turns out the little fishing village is busy like one week a year for some annual get together and this is that week. People were kind, calls were made, and a room was found at a local motel on the edge of town.

The carpet was sticky. The carpet was sticky. The tub was covered in some kind of dirt and/or stain that was gross enough for my mom to tell me to just skip showering. We slept, clothed, on top of the blankets and laid down towels to walk on the floor. My mom says she thinks it was an “hourly” motel, when she thinks back on it.

After that any time we took an “adventure” like that she made sure to find a room when we first go to the place rather than the end of the day lol.

Well I’m pretty anxious

I don’t trust those corn field carnival rides either, those things terrify me even more than the submarine, so speak for yourself lol.
