Solid Explorer

Leprechaun in the hood

Thin clients off eBay. I picked up a Dell Wyse with 8gb memory, 4 cores, 16g emmc, and a 256G M.2 SSD for about $40. Includes the case, power supply, power button, etc. Still uses very little power. Install the x86_64 version of dietPi on that and it's been Rock solid running my docker projects.

Also picked up and HP T620 with similar specs. Haven't started using it yet but I expect similar results.

Much better deal than RPi and for most use cases equal or better able to do the job.

This, they could have just said API access now requires premium. I'm sure some people would have been pissed, but not nearly as much as the current situation.

If it was just "Pay $50 per year and continue to use and enjoy any 3PA of your choice", I might have paid rather than jumping ship.

R/intrestingasfuck also changed and no longer enforces any rules at all except Reddit site wide rules.

Think porn is interesting, post it Think John Oliver pics are interesting, post em Interested in videos of static noise, who are the mods to judge

Great for daily mindless scrolling.
Still has a ways to go before it's as useful as reddit was for searching for specific information tho.

TIL 8ton of coke is only worth $660

If you deployed with docker composr you just change the image and hit redeploy. Super simple.

I switched all my donations to cloudflare. Tried out pork bun and did like it but cloudflare is so good. I do hate in principal that they force you to use their dns, but in practice I want to use them for DNS anyhow. Their ZeroTrust tunnel is pretty slick too.

Just configure your outbound SMTP to use sendgrid or some other. SMTP provider. I realized this isn't 100% self housing then, but you could still self host the inbound mail. Self housing outbound SMTP just isn't worth it for most people IMHO due to spam lists.

Is there a way to turn off auto-refresh on the homepage's posts? Sometimes its cool to drink from the firehose, but other times you're trying to read titles of posts and they refresh and scroll off faster than you can keep up with. Would be great to have a auto/manual toggle for refreshing.

Now I'm curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?

Don't pay almost $20 for just a cable, pay $3 for this. it's an enclosure you can put your 2.5in sata drive in to connect it with usb3. I have several, work like a charm https://a.co/d/8Z2VPso

Fair point. I rolled the dice and have been happy with this one, but you're right on both accounts. StarTech is a trusted brand and $20 is pretty affordable.

Hopefully the algorithm will improve over time - compared to the site which shall not be mentioned, I find that Hot or Active tend to show the same articles for days (despite there being plenty of newer content). Top Day works well the first time I log in for the day, but then that gets stale too. On the front page I feel like I need more like a "Top Hour" option ... so I can see what is new without the "drinking from the fire hose" that is "new".

These are the early days, Im not unhappy with where we are, I just hope this remains a work in progress and improves.

Why not switch your registration to cloudflare. They are awesome as long as you want to use their DNS.

Perchance

To not the most popular choices, Boost and Relay were tied for first place in my opinion. (And I tried nearly all the Android apps)

While their devs owe us nothing, I sure hope future lemmy apps can borrow some of their awesomeness.

Interesting you say that. I've had pretty good luck finding equipments of most of my subs (a few more niche ones are missing).

Perhaps check kbin too, I know the exodus split between kbin and Lemmy. Fortunately they can talk to one another now that Kbin reenabled federation.

Sure wish there was an easy way to do this with Lemmy.

I too would like to know the difference between the two.

I run phogiftreg, it works really well overall but feels really dated. Development isn't very active, and I wish it was docker.

Tried it. Looks like it has a lot of promise, but I couldn't view any comments on posts. I realize it's early release but that makes it pretty unusable for now.

Damn now I'm learning about cool subs I never knew about and it's too late.

Nope it's in play store too (at least in US)

Does lol like the prices have gone up a tad, but I just looked and could still pick up a Wyse 5060 with 8gb memory for about 33 USD shipped. Doesn't seem to include power supply or ssd so add about $10usd each for those maybe $55 or so.

Can't say what prices are like in Europe tho.
