UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

Maybe don’t allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.

A few people have posted scripts in here and self hosted to automatically sub your instance to tons of remote communities. Text content from any indexed sub will be stored in your Postgres DB, but Pict-rs just caches remote images briefly.

Uhh… if your script is subbing to 24k remote communities, those will continue to grow from then on, unless you start purging communities at some point. After one user subscribes to a community, all new content gets indexed and stored on your instance. Pict-rs can cache images short term (and eventually clear them out), but Postgres will start growing very quickly and never slow down until it fills up disks.

The lawsuit does not involve Germany in the slightest

I’ve had access to 4 for several weeks and it’s not really much better. Maybe I’m just asking too much of it though.

Strongly disagree about gpt being excellent for code, it’s extremely confident about the wrong answer most of the time. I’ve found it to be mildly useful as a Stack Overflow alternative (for asking general questions and having it point me in some direction) but it’s code outputs are garbage.

These instructions won’t work in anyone’s unraid box, even if they compile compose from source. Not sure why people think posting random chatGPT’d instructions is remotely useful.

Article suggests you simply get blocked from watching additional videos. But there’s no info on how that works- is it account based? IP based? Can I wipe my YouTube cookies to bypass a block?

Lol. Guess it’s time to add the rest of my subbed channels to YT-DL and ditch their shitty ad-filled site entirely.

Apollo going away was the catalyst for me. I will never use Reddit’s garbage website or first-party app.

Plus Lemmy gave me an excuse to host another neat service and still waste the same time I did on Reddit.

I use Deemix/Deemon to track hundreds of artists and automatically grab new releases in FLAC from Deezer. It’s slightly manual compared to my *arr stack with its Discord bot, but just a quick copy/paste from Discord/etc into a command.

Personally I have a Deezer Hi-Fi sub to get the flac’s, not sure if their API is still wide open for MP3s or not. It used to be open for anything without a paid account.

I tend to spend way too much on electronics. Constant PC upgrades, new disks for my NAS, better monitors, etc. I do at least allocate a monthly budget for this, but go over it sometimes…

Food delivery is another high category for me, and I’ve been trying to cut back, but it’s soooooo convenient.

I use Internetbs.net, sometimes Name.com if they have a particular TLD way cheaper.

I’m just letting mine do whatever it wants, got plenty of local storage. If/when I have storage issues I’ll add an s3 bucket, pretty easy to modify the entrypoint for pictrs to pass s3 connection info in the docker-compose deployment.

I’ve got a baremetal server with OVH running VMware, so it’s just a VM that I manage. I’m paying more for it than I’d like, but it’s running far more than just Lemmy. If I wind up ditching it in the future, it’s just a quick vMotion off to another machine + DNS updates.

Here’s a current output of my storage about a week into hosting the instance. It’s growing slower than I expected, and I do have plans to move volumes/pictrs up to an s3 bucket whenever I start running low on local storage.

[jon@lemmy lemmy]# du -sh volumes/*
2.5G    volumes/pictrs
2.2G    volumes/postgres

I would recommend locking down SSH on your Lemmy server, I have mine restricted to allow logins from VPN only. Otherwise you’ll get probed 24/7 with a public server.

Do you need access control? If not, a simple Apache/Nginx directory listing is nice and easy, just drop your files in your webroot and you’re set. h5ai is a nice addition if you go that route.

If you need access control (or at least some sort of obfuscated URLs), Nextcloud is a good option. Pretty easy to get up and running, and there’s a ton of plugins available.

Got a Veeam community instance running on each of my VMware nodes, backing up 9-10 VMs each.

Using Cloudberry for my desktop, laptop and a couple Windows VMs.

Borg for non-VMware Linux servers/VMs, including my WSL instances, game/AI baremetal rig, and some Proxmox VMs I’ve got hosted with a friend.

Each backup agent dumps its backups into a share on my nas, which then has a cron task to do weekly uploads to GDrive. I also manually do a monthly copy to an HDD and store it off-site with a friend.

I’ve got most of the channels I sub to tracked by yt-dl so it all gets pulled to my nas. If Youtube starts forcing ads I’ll just put some effort into getting things categorized properly into Plex and ditch their site.
