But was $application.old_final the one to rollback to, or $application.old-final2?!

Sure, grandpa/grandma, time for your medicine.

Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There’s something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.

Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn’t as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn’t monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they’re just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they’re just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy’s prolific posters. o7

Thank heavens for your unhealthy posting habits, we need to clone you Stamets

Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

Clicking on a post in the post feed makes it show up overlayed on top of the feed similar to alexandrite’s system instead of sending you to a new page. (hitting the name of the post when in this preview state will send you to the actual page)

This is by far my favorite Alexandrite feature, and the main reason I use it over the alternatives. Thanks for including it!

Agreed. I think it dilutes user engagement, because people will leave comments on these bot threads, never to be seen by anybody else.

I went ahead and blocked it and spend time on HN along with Lemmy instead. HN discussions on those posts are always so much livelier than those sad, but interesting copycat posts.

I’m very confused by this post. Maybe it’s because I’m using a client (Sync), but I was able to select my default post and sort for my homepage, so my instance owners had no say in it. I rarely ever go to my Local or Subscribed feeds because I have a very healthy blocked instance/user/keywords list, so I like to spend time on Everything since other feeds don’t have enough content to fit my needs.

Seems to work well enough, I don’t see my instance taking over my feed at all.

I have fond memories of whiling away many hours discovering fascinating new sites on del.icio.us. A fediverse reinterpretation sounds interesting!

I like the enthusiasm expressed in the blog post, and agree that groups coming to Mastodon might be a really good thing for the fediverse and open-source in general.

I’m a bit concerned about “the twitter effect”, where cynicism and toxicity are rewarded by the algorithm. This is perhaps less of a problem on the fediverse, since there’s no corporate interests fanning the flames, but I’ve definitely seen similar dynamics play out on Lemmy as well. Tribal dynamics and echo chambers create some really toxic behavioral patterns.

In any case, I hope r/rust devs can contribute to the fediverse, and Lemmy’s codebase and community to make it the kind of place we’ve all desperately needed for so long!

Yes, but Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Agreed. Terminal is the shite. Makes working in WSL Ubuntu really rewarding.

Interesting. Seems like it might be worth it for me to look into Ansible and perhaps even Proxmox on the new SFFPC I’m building as a media center for stability/reliability.

Thanks!

So in addition to docker containers, you use separate VMs for isolation? Or are you just referring to the docker containers themselves?

I have separate docker containers for different apps too, but no virtualization beyond that.

Noob question. What kind of apps are you (or other self-hosters) running in VMs? With containerized apps, it seems like VMs would be largely unnecessary, unless you need some particular device to be virtualized? Or am I misunderstanding?

That looks amazing! Unfortunately I think I might have limited my options by using a 3.5in HDD as the primary storage for my media server :/ looks like I’ll probably have to go one size bigger in terms of form factor.

The HC2 supports a full-sized 3.5in HDD.

Oh, I’d assumed the NUCs would fit a 3.5in HDD, I guess that rules them out.

Since my home server is a media server, it’s primary drive is an 8TB HDD :)
