I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.

I'm kidding obvs

Belle! Stop saying "I do declare" for your constants! It's not valid syntax!

Not from US, but why do you wanna move out of US?

I'm guessing it's politics. Our "religious conservatives" feel they can force women to have babies against their express desires while limiting birth control, sex education, and free school lunches.

It's a party dominated by rich old white men who can't rule over slaves anymore so they are going after all minorities and women.

This girl I knew had a fake seizure in front of me at a public museum. She had a crush on me, which I already was aware of, but I liked her as a friend. Even so, the flag was pretty red on that friendship.

I have bought two laser printers in fifteen years. I got a Canon to replace the slow Brother MFC. I've lasted years on the toners I bought after the starter toners ran out. Toners never dry out and they don't have the same print quality issues that ink jets have.

Anyone using an ink jet printer for anything other than printing photos onto photo paper is wasting tons and tons of money.

But seriously...

After spending all week installing Lemmy and trying to make it happy, I was losing my mind. I've finally got everything but pics working. I plan on troubleshooting it this weekend.

I'm being sarcastic, kind of. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay a Lemmy fan amidst the painful set up - even with Docker compose and following all of the instructions, I was struggling to self-host it.

I am still a Lemmy fan and I understand that I should do less complaining and more contributing, so I am going to write up my experience getting it running once I get the pictrs stuff working. I love the federation and want to help it thrive.

Probably some blue-haired right wing evangelical that says "tHeReS nO dInOsAuRs iN tHe bIbLe hurr durr"

Funny that you say that: my first problem was of my own making - I was using arm64 hardware and Lemmy doesn't quite support that architecture yet, so I ended up getting a Synology myself this week. It's awaiting disks and then I plan on moving Lemmy to that box.

Thanks for sharing that site - I'll make good use of it once the drives get here.

The instructions worked out, but the troubleshooting steps need to be fleshed out more. Again, probably my issues, like DNS. I learned a lot though.

I got lemmy.fan just a few months ago. I wanted a short, memorable TLD that stood out a little.

This is how my friend fixed her check engine light. Just put the official Car Talk electrical tape over it and problem solved.

Thanks boss, I'll check that out. Appreciate you sharing.

The Lemmy Easy Deploy script available at GitHub supports Arm64 in theory. In practice, some required binary refused to run on my Pi 4 so I think it's still a WIP.

This is great advice, and to the OP, don't feel bad. You're really not an IT person of any caliber until you have experienced when I like to call the "Production Incident Experience", or PIE. IT work is a job with unforseen consequences and hurdles, and we've all run into them at one point or another.

This being a learning experience, do what we've all done and learn from it. Now you can set up logging, whatif, sandbox instance, whatever you have to do.

You're on the road to becoming a good programmer - just learn from your mistakes, do your research on best practices, ask intelligent questions, and in no time at all you'll be writing one of these posts yourself.

I've got the DS923+. It's replacing a very old but very functional QNAP that I've had for years. Alas, QTS or whatever the OS is called is slow and clunky and after using our DS920+ at work I made the decision to get a Synology.

This is correct.

This must be Disney's fault. The TRANSportation is to blame because it has the word trans in it.

Thanks for sharing this!

I hadn't heard of a few of these and they sound really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!

Happy to mod.

I dunno, not being able to turn off the sound is a deal breaker for me.

I am running it in a VM now, using Linux and Docker.
