Major woof if true. u/spez is a true big brain business man.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

About freaking time. I have it as an option but I hate using it. I’ve been looking for alternatives for a while now because I just expect to lose a couple hundred bucks in “processing” for every project I work on.

I've felt this so hard the past few days. I would often post on Reddit and never get noticed or find myself just wading through a sea of garbage. Here, it's a lot less noisy but the interactions I do have are noticeably more genuine and that feels great.

100% this. I ended every day doomscrolling until I got bored or the feed accidentally refreshed and sent me back to the top. Now I'm starting to see how bad that was for me.

They're about 8 years behind the curve though. Just like a client who recently told me they were thinking of getting into NFTs to make some money.

"Alright boys, you heard him. He said the magic word. Let's pack our things and get out of here."

I used to read a lot more, and I do remember this happening, but it happens a lot for me now with podcasts. I'm a big podcast junkie and I will often find myself going down a rabbit hole of thought and realizing I have no idea what they're talking about anymore.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.

I’ve actually had pretty good success with ChatGPT when I go in expecting it to hallucinate a significant chunk of what it spits back at me. I like to think of it as a way to help process my own ideas. If I ask questions with at least a base understanding of the topic, I can then take whatever garbage it gives me and go off and find real solutions. The key is to not trust it whole cloth to give you the right answer, but to give you some nuggets that set you on the right path.

I think I’ve basically turned ChatGPT into my rubber duck.

I never used Apollo (I'm an Android user) but I tried wefwef for the first time today and I'm surprised at how natural it feels. If this is what Apollo was like I'm sad I didn't get a chance to experience it.

Ah SHIT. Thanks, doing it now.

This makes sense to me. I was wondering how many were active, engaged communities and how many were shells or ghost towns.

It blows my mind that Reddit can look at 90% of its communities going dark in some way and think, "yeah, this is fine."

EDIT (AGAIN): Thank you all for the comments on total subs. It's still clearly not 90%, but it still appears to be a significant portion of the active Reddit community. For the interested, check out the comments below for stats. :)

!!!! THAT DID IT.

Thank you so much I would have never gotten to that solution on my own. Works beautifully now.

I'm almost positive that network is already there but I'm definitely going to check the Lemmy-specific logs. I only knew how to check the general server logs when I last looked at it. If I ever get my kid to bed I'll take another look.

If you’re a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents. So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders,” he said.

Someone get this man a hearing aid, because he's gone completely tone deaf.

This is the thing that gets me. I'm fine if Reddit wants to diversify revenue, or ask developers to pay a fair share. But the callous disregard for developers, users, moderators, and communities they built is beyond the pale. I don't know how someone can look at the timeline of events and how Reddit has handled this and think, "this is a company that deserves my money". Huffman's comments in the press alone, leaked or not, make him look like a giant d*uche canoe. The moment my saved posts are transferred out I'm gone.

I think this is where my lack of experience with Docker is showing.

I spun up a DO droplet and installed nginx, Docker CE, and Docker Compose. Then I went through the instructions on the page you linked to and it set it up just fine but when I went to my droplets IP address it wouldn't connect. I had to add a config file that pointed traffic coming into the droplet on port 80 to redirect to the Docker container instead. Am I overcomplicating it?

So looking at this again now, am I taking that whole block and adding it to the container's nginx.conf? If so, does that mean I have to change what port it's currently listening to (because there's already a rule in the file for port 80)?

There's a comment in that server rule that says "this is the port inside docker" and a comment immediately after that says "this is facing the public web", which confuses me.

I thought the same maybe, but I assumed an actual camera because of context (using the camera's manual focus and printing out the photo afterwards). @WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world ? Did I misunderstand?

Disclaimer: I'm not an optician. I do, however, work in advertising and happen to have a number of clients in the lens manufacturing industry. Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.

Short answer is, not really.

Diagnosing vision issues is much more complicated than simply "is it in focus". The shape of the cornea, how your eye physically reacts to light, distance from an object, and disease all have an impact on how you perceive the world around you. That's why you have things like aberrations, glares, near sightedness, far sightedness, and a plurality of other vision problems. When someone is fitted for glasses or contact lenses, a number of parameters (read, dozens) are required get what is considered a proper "fit".

There are some similarities between how a camera lens works and our eyes, but you also have to consider that you're not just looking through the lens itself, you're focusing on a screen that's attached to the lens. So, if you can't focus your eye sight at the distance the screen is at, it doesn't matter what the camera is seeing, because it'll look like garbage to you either way.

I created a gist with my compose file: https://gist.github.com/osiriswrecks/26a875576d3bbcf11923d7715ac15e6e. It should be stripped of all private info. I tried changing the version from 0.17.3 to 0.18.0 and the server returns a gateway error after restarting.

Upgraded to 0.18.5, which now gives me this error:

lemmy-lemmy-ui-1  | API error: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site?auth=AUTH_KEY failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED IP_ADDRESS:8536

Meaning I just wait a bit and retry later?

So...it's working now? I haven't touched anything yet, but I just checked my instance again and it works perfectly fine on desktop now. It always worked through Voyager, so I was able to let people know there was an issue. If it comes back I'll try some of these suggestions to find a more permanent fix.

I seem to be having a lot of lag at the moment, and my post was created twice so I'm just going to delete the other one and start from here...

So I have this set up per the instructions. My instance is on a Digital Ocean instance, and I'm using nginx on the host to point to localhost:1235, but that's about all that conf file is doing. Is there something else I need to do?

No, I didn't have anything there. The docs say everything but the login and password are required, but because I'm using the relay package I don't know what those would be to begin with because I'm not using an external SMTP with an account.

I updated my docker-compose.yml above to the full file. Does that help?

Wait WHAT.

The one meant for the Docker container or the one on the host?

Done. And restarting the lemmy container appears to have helped! Now if I click "forgot password" with my email in the user field it at least shows a "sent a reset email" notification. I don't see an email yet though, either in inbox or spam, and no error logs from what I can tell but I'll keep looking.
