They used to be “Don’t be evil” now they’re the most evil company, absolutely crazy.

I did that too (swapping out a complex codebase with a simpler new modern one), then I got laid off along with another dev and we got replaced by friends of our boss lmao

Although I do admit it’s nice my new job that I’m starting next week pays me nearly 30% more than my old job did along with a better title to match the level I was performing at my old job lol

Yeah, I’ve heard of people using cron jobs to automatically clean activity older than 3 days.

I’m not sure what can be done about image staking up a lot of space, I imagine that’ll take up a ton of space after a while. Not sure how that could be cleaned up safely.

I wanna look into self-hosting my own Lemmy instance some time. Once I have more time to figure it out with my home network local server w/ public cloud VPS OpenVPN server setup (likely with Docker containers too) I’ll take a look into it. You’re right, it’ll likely be fun and right up my alley too.

Depends on the programming language. In JavaScript, it literally means that like the key or variable does not actually exist. Whereas like in C/C++, writing random bytes to random memory addresses would result in “undefined behaviour” which means basically anything could happen.

Wow, I’ll definitely look into this, thanks! Even if I don’t use it, it still may be useful just reading through it.

Yep, making federation decisions myself is why I want to spin up my own instance at some point, and I have spare computing resources as is already lol

Oof, yeah, requiring someone to use Arch definitely seems like a steep requirement lol

I’d maybe be interested in trying out self-hosting Mastodon at some point too, good to hear that Lemmy was easy to install though. I’m not too worried since I have quite a bit of Linux experience, I figure it probably won’t be too bad to setup whatever social media instances I’m interested in checking out.

As someone who likes having control over their data and especially backups, and someone who normally enjoys self-hosting things, I honestly might do it. I’m not sure if I’d want to host a lemmy instance or kbin instance though, since I know they all federate together anyway. I may also end up waiting until the software is more mature too before looking into it.
