I’m no Nostradamus but I don’t see this happening because the companies that make their revenue on storage would be crying foul. I don’t see any successful pushes to make local storage illegal. Put it this way: I hope I’m right.

Just goes to show Sammy is nothing more than a techbro.

Jitsi for the clear win here!

I’m going to do that tomorrow for my blog site. There’s no way I am letting ChatGPT crawl my shit.

It is very possible to do this! What you need to do is to rent a low-end cloud VPS. Even a 5.00 digital ocean droplet running Ubuntu Linux would do the trick. Then you run an NGINX Proxy Manager reverse proxy with a WireGuard tunnel to the machine that will act as a server for your instance. From there you, you simply set up Let’s Encrypt certificates to use with your intended domain. Even though I am not behind CGNAT, I do this and it works very well.

EDIT: If you intend to do this entirely in open source and need some help, I’ll offer it. I am pretty passionate about open source and helping others out along the way.

He cannot even manage to pay the rent due on the office space. Hardly a shocker that he’s having trouble paying the revenue-sharing bills as well.

The fediverse takes the corporate out of social media!

The fediverse and the surge in open source has made the internet fun again. I haven’t had this much fun with the internet since the mid to late 90s.

Hell yeah!

You’re probably right. But I wanted it documented in case she got blamed she can say, “Read the comments.”

I made it clear in the survey to praise the Adobe Engineer that worked with me today to finally resolve the issue. She was actually the picture of competence and backend knowledge. When my end user hung up, I actually asked her if she lived near me in my state because I was going to recommend her for an engineering position with my agency. I was truly that impressed. The rest of Adobe can get fucked with sandpaper for all I care.

Fuck Adobe with a 20ft light pole! We pay beaucoup dollars for their so-called enterprise support and to say that they suck is to understate things. It took them literally 4 business days to admit that one of our user’s “licensing problem” was a problem on their end. They fixed it and had the nerve to send me a survey. I ripped them a new one on the survey but they likely don’t care.

Quite the opposite @[email protected] . I went to self-hosting everything precisely because I wanted to de-Google and de-cloud. Big Cloud proves over and over again that it lacks the responsibility, accountability, and motivation to take care of my identity. They only care about how they can make me their product.

Ostensibly you subscribed to some technology communities. The fediverse tends to attract a lot of IT professionals and hobbyists of which I am both. We tend to want to keep abreast of the latest technologies and trends.

The documentation is kind of a dog’s breakfast but you could try building it from source. Note that this is not easy and will require a lot of time and patience. I managed to do it on FreeBSD but never could get it working properly. Lemmy would federate but pictures wouldn’t work and I eventually gave up.

My vote is yes but we should have separate communities for different languages or even areas. Web development is going to be different than writing tools for, say, an operating system.

Unfortunately, it a truncate does not purge the media. The media is controlled by pict-rs and it has its own database. I cannot speak to fallout of my own users because my Lemmy instance is strictly my own. I don’t want to get into a situation where I am hosting accounts and have to deal with moderation and abuse. There are a lot of legalities surrounding this and I don’t need the headache.

What table is the culprit? I have a cron job to shut lemmy down at 3:00am every morning and I run a TRUNCATE activity via the psql utility. If I didn’t do that, my database size would swell to 50GB or more.

Ah, I see. I hope some maintenance tools will be forthcoming.

I just took a look at the repository for pict-rs and unfortunately nothing in the official docs about cleaning up images. Did you happen to use a bot to assist you in finding communities? If so this might be the reason. After two weeks of running, my image size is only 2.2mb. I should also ask you what the size of your database is. The activity table can get awfully big and very quickly.
