Great! Thank you!

Thank you very much for the info! Maybe I’ll give it a shot again.

I’d also suggest Immich, but with a warning. On their GitHub page, they state:

Did anyone actually use this over a longer period of time, including updates, etc.? How did it work for you?

I also know how to use keywords, etc. And maybe I went a bit overboard when I said Brave Search sucks. It doesn’t suck, but with Kagi, I don’t feel like a product any more and the search results make sense again, like with Google a couple years ago. Most free search engines just don’t work that good any more.

If you would’ve told me 2 years ago that I’ll be paying for a search engine in the future… Well, I would’ve thought that you’re crazy. But here I am now.

Look at https://kagi.com/faq .

They basically query other search engines and APIs in a privatized manner and they use their own indexes as well. I used Google, Ecosia, StartPage, DDG, a self-hosted SearXNG instance and then Brave. I liked DDG and I kinda liked Brave Search, as well. But in comparison to Kagi, they’re all not that good in my opinion.

The image search of Kagi is especially what blows me away. It just shows relevant results for my queries and I’m satisfied.

I used it before and unfortunately, it sucks in comparison to Kagi.

That’s why I use Kagi. It’s a paid search engine and the results are actually really good.

I think …

If I remember correctly …

I don’t want to fact check what I said right now, because I’m in the bathtub. I’m just talking from the top of my head.

I probably had this in my head, so nothing major.

Questions:

I think, the default docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson state that the PostgreSQL password and the pictrs API key have to match? If I remember correctly, they both have something like {{ postgres_password }} as default. I found that weird, but I also didn’t question it.

What do you do if one service requires PostgreSQL 15 and another service requires an older version or something like that? Again, if I remember correctly, Lemmy devs recently downgraded PostgreSQL in the default setup for some reason.

I don’t want to fact check what I said right now, because I’m in the bathtub. I’m just talking from the top of my head.

Don’t get me wrong, I use a similar setup for my homelab, because I hate spinning up several instances of entire database servers just to get a service running. But I’d be lying if I claimed that I never ran into issues with that setup.

Did you look at the logs? If you’re running through docker compose, that’d be docker compose logs --follow container-name.

Thank you, I saw that yesterday when looking through GitHub and added it to my list of things I wanted to try out. Thanks for your effort! ❤️

There are several scripts working like that. I use lcs (lemmy community seeder). I’m going to switch to something else or make my own, because lcs doesn’t handle it well if an instance is overloaded or not available.

My instance uses a seeder script that’ll do exactly that, but automated. It’ll check the most popular communities on the most popular servers and use an account to subscribe to them.

Boom, /all feed populated.

Oh, it was just a couple days ago and I’m not 100% sure if it was that instance. I faintly remember something about a hated episode or entire series? I’m not sure. I’m not a trekkie. I just remember that it gave off powermod vibes to me and I saw that a couple times. Didn’t spend any more attention to that, though, because I live by the standard live and let live. As long as nobody on my instance reports anything, I’m not going to act in most cases.

For amd64, Lemmy dev Dessalines pushes images to his Docker Hub repo usually right after a new version comes out.

Since they don’t release arm64 builds anymore, I build them regularly and push them to my repo, which can be found here.

I’m not sure what to think about that instance. I saw some weird stuff in the mod protocol recently, if I remember correctly… Like some drama going on, etc.

Hey, guys. Same thing here. Come on over, if you want. Let’s spread the load!

We’re also hosting privacy-respecting frontends for popular services, as well as Lemmy front-ends.

Anyone else got underutilized Lemmy instances?

I’m glad to read that!

As a dad, I think about this fact so much.

I still feel just like a kid with no clue about everything, but I still have to do stuff, because I’m responsible for my own kids now.

I have a VM at OVH that’s a couple years old by now. I pay only a couple € for it each month. On that I run Mailcow and it works just fine.
