Are those normal reminders? I have to use alarms otherwise it doesn’t work.

The Lemmy software seems to only store IPs for login tokens (i.e. on login).

It’s likely many instances store IPs short term in access logs as well.

If you mean running the lemmy software on your own hardware to have your own instance, you don’t need programming skills for that. Self-hosting things is a related but different skillset. There’s a decent learning curve, though.

If you are familiar with self-hosting, you can probably set up a Lemmy instance pretty easily. If you are not, then running a publically federating service is probably not a good starting point. You should be able to search up a beginners guide to self-hosting, or take a look at [email protected]. I think hosting a personal wiki is a good starting point, since it is then a good place to write down everything you’ve learnt!

An iPad isn’t really a good server. You could use an old laptop or pay for a cheap VPS as a starting point. Many people start with a Raspberry Pi.

Well I also know that once I finish the book I’m not going to remember much about it no matter how engaged I was, so that might play into it.

I prefer roll forward over roll back. Hmm, I thought that guy was alive but now the protagonist is doing something with his severed head, oh well I guess something happened to him, good enough for me.

Yeah this isn’t how I’ve used Nextcloud. I let Nextcloud manage the storage on the same server that Nextcloud is installed on. When accessed on the same network the performance of Nextcloud is miles better than the Onedrive website, which I think is a fair way to judge. It is on a decently beefy server though.

Many people had issues with Nextcloud installs because there were extra steps to get the caching and performance tweaking right. The AIO container made this part much easier by handling it for you, but just in general Nextcloud does need a bit of grunt. I think the recommendation if enabling all components is that you have 5GB RAM and 4 CPU minimum (when talking about VPS - I have it installed locally on an old gaming machine, along with other stuff).

If the AIO install is slow, then I’d guess something like the server is not powerful enough, the network is not fast enough, or the network drive access is causing lag.

Where did you read that?

I’d say it’s opinionated. You run it and you can use the provided settings but you don’t get a lot of opportunity to set things up differently.

But it is a lot easier than it used to be to stand up a Nextcloud instance that works without issue.

You can also export and import data and accounts so it’s pretty low risk to just give it a go.

I never had problems before but if you haven’t tried the All In One Install (the officially recommended way to install), then give that a go. You don’t have to worry about caching and databases and things. It all runs on docker.

And just in case, the AIO container creates new docker containers so if you need to provision docker network access for a reverse proxy then make sure you’ve got it on the right container.

Haha this is me. I have that OP urge to take on a new project, with the expectation that I will figure it out along the way. Most of the time I actually do figure it out. But once I’ve “figured it out”, I’m bored and don’t want to finish.

I’ve never seen Lemmy do that. It strips metadata (location, etc) but otherwise doesn’t touch the actual image.

Are you using the default lemmy-ui website?

I dunno, audiobook people talk soooo sloooow.

Well I noticed the article has a picture of a completely different type of hot dog than what I assume they actually banned*. Does that count as a hotdog sausage?

* In New Zealand a “Hot dog” is more similar to what would be called a “Corn dog” in the US. A hot dog sausage in bread would be referred to as an “American hot dog”.

Maybe, but it talks about popular street food in another part of the article so it seems not all food is hand delivered from the government. And a hot dog is “just” a sausage in a bun, I’d think bread and sausages would be reasonably common where food is a problem but maybe I’m wrong.

Yeah that was my line of thinking.

How do people keep up with all these petty laws? If my country banned hotdogs there’s a decent chance I’d miss the announcement and accidentally put a frankfurter in a bun. I could miss it completely and I have internet! How does your average person on North Korea find out about this ban on putting sausages in bread?

NZ Herald is borderline tabloid. They just want the clicks. And then paywall some articles. And I’m pretty sure they were the ones caught using ChatGPT to write articles. I’m in NZ and actively avoid them.

I didn’t realise under 30s knew about it.

I think it just depends on what activates your over anxiousness.

Just like the rest of my code.

You are sure that no one has heard of Homestar Runner on a website of technology savvy early adopters whose age averages in the 30s and 40s?
