Note that proxmox also supports containers (LXCs), they are just different from Docker containers.

LXCs are closer to VMs than Docker containers are, but they are still different. One big difference: Docker containers are stateless/immutable, while LXCs are not. I prefer the mutability ;)

Proxmox is often recommended because it makes administering things easy (never used k8s, but I heard it makes it rather hard because it’s built for scale) when you use LXCs (though you can still use docker, I have a VM for docker-only apps), incremental backups with deduplication thanks to PBS, still efficient backups otherwise, everything with a nice web interface, but with nice command line tools available.

I checked, the !lemmy bang is not in use ;)

Yes, but it’s not as easy as appending “lemmy”. Here, the content is spread over a wide number of URLs, and unlike reddit, they don’t rank super high in the results.

But thanks to federation, search engines should eventually pick up most content, even when concentrating on just a few big instances. I’m guessing that eventually, you’ll be able to do a search with site:lemmy.ml and get most results (as with that many users, chances are high any other post has been copied via federation). Until then, you might need a more widespread search, I created a lens for kagi (paid search engine), that searches the biggest instances: kbin.social, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org, sh.itjust.works, lemm.ee, programming.dev

The result is this:

That does not work with site:lemmy.ml and would instead require site:lemmy.world on google.

Caveat: Duplicate content detection might really throw things off. Normally, if two sites have the same content, but different URLs and no canonical html reference, then one will be detected as spam (or should be), I’m not sure how search engine indexing will be affected by this in the future.

I did not mean to imply they are not. This was simple the single biggest outpouring of toxicity I had seen, so far. I have a very low opinion of humanity, so it’s not as if I expect any one group to be better.

then de-federated after having essentially all users.

Thing is, they always had all the users.

I was around for this as a user. I had (and still have them) people in my Jabber friend list (obviously all computer science students), then google came (and later Facebook), and I could add a few more and stop using Google/FB messengers. Then they defederated, and I lost literally none of the people I had before, because no-one who wanted to use Jabber stopped using it, no one who was temporarily federated cared about anything but using Google/Facebook messengers.

there is no negativity on the fediverse yet

Hard disagree. The toxicity and personal attacks just from beehaw defederating two instances was already insane. And there are many smaller instances of negativity on Lemmy. I’m assuming there’s even more on Mastodon, but I have no interest in microblogging, so that’s just a guess.

So far my instance is doing okay, we got upgraded to 18 a few hours ago, but we also have under 2k users.

Ah, didn’t know about sublime being cross platform.

But between EmEditor for text, the opposite end of speed (jetbrain IDEs) for coding, and vs code when I just want to look at a single file, I’m pretty okay ;)

Oh and I realized my other comment was ambiguous, EE was faster than UE for huge files.

Not sublime, as I never touch anything apple, and can’t remember if startup is different, but UltraEdit was one of the ones I compared it to for opening larger files (not sure any others can handle 200gb files well, but it’s already faster for 1 GB)

The fastest, and most responsive GUI app I know, is my text editor of choice: EmEditor. (Expensive, windows only, don’t even look at it unless you really need a super fast editor and/or open multi GB text files, syntax highlighting is a joke compared to what you might be used to), written in C++ and … assembly.

I hope it also comes to their real IDEs, I use the all product pack already

his response is priceless!

YW, I actually maintain the NG version, though I mostly just fixed some issues that arose because the original was unmaintained. At some point, I want to look into improving search-performance, but who knows when that will be :D

Uh. So after going through my list, it seems I use a lot. Don’t want to remove any of those, though :D

• Augmented Steam (Steam enhancement)
• Better History NG (History page like Vivaldi instead of the useless default Firefox history)
• BetterTTV (Twitch enhancement)
• Buster Captcha Solver (because Captchas are a cancer and bots are better at solving them, than humans)
• Bypass Paywalls Clean
• Clickbait Remover for YouTube (randomizes YT thumbnails and normalizes titles)
• Copy Me That (Recipe scraper)
• Facebook Container & Multi-Account Container (The reason Firefox is the best Browser currently in existence)
• Firefox translations (local-only website translation)
• Language Tool (Grammarly alternative, less shady privacy policy, selfhostable)
• hn-friends (tagging people on HackerNews)
• Kagi Search (helper to easier use kagi even in private mode)
• KeePassXC-Browser (helper to connect the browser to the KeePassXC password manager)
• Nitter Redirect: Redirect twitter links to a customizable Nitter URL
• Reddit Enhancement Suite
• OctoLinker & Refined Github (Github enhancements)
• Refined Hacker News (HN enhancements)
• reveddit real-time (Notifications about shadowbanning/deletion and mod deletions)
• Stylus (Scripts to overwrite website styles)
• Tabliss (better new tab page)
• Toggle Animated Gif (easy button to enable gifs only when I want to, I hate animations)
• uBlock Origin & uMatrix (ad and third-party blocking)
• Video DownloadHelper
• Violentmonkey (run userscripts, like Tampermonkey but OSS and with no tracking)
• Vue.js devtools
• Consent-O-Matic (declines tracking consent, unlike “I don’t care about tracking/cookies”

Ah, I guess I forgot that docker-containers are all the rage :D For work, I develop in C# on bare metal.

Uh, what? How do people do stuff without debuggers? :D

I only use a profiler when I have performance issues, but I use the debugger constantly.

edit:

what enables you to use them?

Uh, I set a breakpoint and run the app? Or I hit an exception, which also stops execution at that point?

As I said, it’s a Chinese company, most people not on lemmygrad are suspicious of Chinese software ;)

My favourite unique feature is container tabs on FF ;) Second is probably uBlock Origin CNAME uncloaking.

Tab tiling seems nice, but the few times I need something like that, I’m happy to replicate it by tiling multiple windows.

Personally, I don’t care much, all Chromium browsers are Chromium browsers and toxic.

From the article, it seems like the same. But I have no idea, I never used big subs.

Opera is Chinese nowadays, former opera devs made Vivaldi.

Updated to say that MildlyInteresting mods are back.

Still unmoderated subs:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/TIHI/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/self/

As I said, “for single-user”

Sieht jetzt irgendwie nicht kleiner aus. Spart nur ein klein wenig was, weil weniger Informationen angezeigt werden.

Do you have a screenshot?

11 years, sync for lemmy would be amazin, I’d easily pay again.

Not like RIF, more modern space wasting with the ‘card’ approach.

Dear gods, no. It has and always had a great compact view:

So much, that the actual sub is lost on how they are going to stand out …

Heh, I had the opposite, my comment was accidentally deleted by a mod, but the restore command never reached my server. So now it’s deleted for me (and I can’t see replies to it), but lives on in the original instance :D

Anything put on the internet is forever.

If only. Alas, it’s more “Expect anything put on the internet to be forever”, I already spent a significant amount of time looking for treasures from the earl 2000s, and even from something as recent as 2009, without any luck. I’ve also uploaded songs to YouTube that for all I know have no other sources left, neither illegal nor legal.

I still do the same I’ve been doing since before Bitwarden existed: Use KeePass[XC] and OOB sync (I use nextcloud) my database file (The android client actually uses WebDAV and a local cache). For single-user password-management, I find the simplicity vastly superior.

But that is tangential. It is not some kind of intrinsic thing you make it out to be. That’s my whole point.

Essentially, you want to spread this state of things, I want people to know there are currently bugs and problems because this software is in a pretty early state, not Alpha anymore, but not very far along the beta state.

I wish I could continue, but my comment got deleted as duplicate post, which it was not. Not sure what the mods are doing here.

Huh, either deleted comments being restored does not federate, or my instance is having issues.

Replying to this post here (which I can’t see on my instance, as my source comment was deleted but not restored):

Yes, that’s what I mean. That defederation is not some kind of par-for-the-course thing, but a last resort because tools are lacking. Which goes counter to what this post is about, that one should expect such a thing.

Hah, I was worried after reading your selfhost post, this thread is also relieving to me ;)

Allowlist instead of denylist? That’s supposed to exist.

It’s more about being public and after getting traction going private. Being private from the start is a completely different thing.

Not that I think beehaw does that, they were clear it’s temporary because of a lack of proper modding/admin tools.

The other option is to completely ignore federation, and just create an account on every instance because that’s the only way to not lose the communities there.

I think you’ll find a lot of people disagree that this is how it should work.

I don’t understand, I don’t know more than the prices they list which are pretty clear?

Just make sure you use the rsync flag made for stuff like R2, otherwise the API calls become expensive.

I run proxmox backup server on a pi4, and it uses rsync to sync everything to Backblaze R2, costs me pennies per month, Backblaze only charges me every few months :D

Edit: In a funny bit of synchronicity, 8 minutes after writing this comment I got a notification from my bank:

Why so much for images? I thought Lemmy hotlinked those?

I watch two streams, one cooking stream, and one foodtruck stream. The cooking stream has a slightly younger average age of probably mid to late 20, streamers are 40ish. The foodtruck has employees and customers mostly in their early 20s, average chat age is probably around 30 to mid 30s (our oldest mod is in his 50s, another has 3 more years). It’s always fascinating how wildly different the normal twitch demographics are :D
