27, he/him. interested in all things tech, music production, and gaming. i write songs your girlfriend would probably listen to.
A fellow alt texter!!! The blind community appreciates you. (I’m not blind, just an ally)
Welcome and enjoy your stay! Feel free to DM for any questions about Lemmy or Federation in general!
I mostly agree with this. Here’s how I use the Fediverse:
I have an account on every instance that I want to browse, while keeping my own personal instance up in the first tab. I browse multiple instances, and when it comes time to comment, I just add the post to my own instance and comment away.
I use all the other accounts as lurker accounts. That way, my identity on Lemmy is consistent but I still get to browse anything I want without worrying about everything federating properly.
Just use a cloudflare tunnel. It’s free and can be used on pretty much any network that sends and receives data.
Refreshing sources will always be permanently engrained in my vision as if I was looking directly into the sun.
The release of the iPhone and iPod touch was such a special time for me. The jailbreaking scene was just getting started and it started my life long fascination with tinkering with technology.
Lemmy community on official Lemmy developer’s instance
I think you’re overthinking this. Twitter used to be a place where I could keep up with my friends. Now, it’s a place filled with many forms of hate. Because of this, I no longer wish to use it, so I left.
I personally have no care in the world for what happens with Twitter. Why should I? It becomes overrun with bigots? So what?
Remaining on a platform filled with hate is an indicator that you’re ok with that. I am not, so I left. end of story.
I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we’ll know who’s bringing what. I’ll start
I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!
I’m kinda in the same boat. Super into tech and computers and know my way around Windows, Mac, and a fair understanding of Debian based Linux… But self hosting still holds many questions to me.
Today, i just discovered that you can use CloudFlare VPN tunneling to basically “convert” a local ISP provided IP directly to a public IP without the need for a dedicated IP. I’m still at work but I’ll probably start tinkering with it once I get home. Would love to host Mastodon and Lemmy at home instead of paying a monthly fee just for some light to moderate social media use.
I also want to run some home automation stuff as well as a few static html websites. I know currently what is possible and the basic understanding of how it works, I just need more time to practice!
Feel free to hit me up in DMs if you have any questions or want to exchange notes. Seems like we’re both in a similar place rn.
Love this channel, love that you guys over here love it as well. Thanks for being cool, beehaw.
Just curious, what feature are they waiting on?
I would say this: If it’s just you accessing your server and nobody else, self-hosting is fine.
When it comes to giving other people access to your server, no matter how close of friends you may be, I would recommend renting a cheap VPS online. The security benefits are just that much better.
It’s a ghost. Always sleep with a vacuum.
From what I can tell, and don’t quote me on this, this doesn’t really matter.
Most of my subs I have on my own instance say subscribe pending but I still get the posts federated. Not sure what the reason is, would love if somebody could chime in.
INFO: Was it charging the whole time?
Been having lots of improvements from this release. Thanks lemmy devs!
This is a common issue that everybody deals with right now on Lemmy, due to federation requests being dropped instead of restarted. Hopefully, future versions of Lemmy will improve this issue.
For now, I find the best way to deal with it is to simply try to not click over to the other instance if you can help it. I just pretend those other comments aren’t there.
Sure, you can copy paste direct links in two tabs, but I don’t think that’s really worth it.
The reason why I can’t recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I’m trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn’t figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they’ve fixed this?
