Yeah, I was also surprised when I read about it on Wikipedia.

Approaching Shadow (1954) by Fan Ho

I think it does not make it less funny, everyone believes it because it’s so in character.

I did it for a year or so, exactly the same thing, I have a bunch of websites and other services like matrix, mastodon, peertube running on that server.

I found out the hard way that Lemmy is really not optimized for single user instances on a small VPS. In the beginning it was OK but the more they optimized for big instances like Lemmy.world and .ml the word it ran with few resources.

In the end it was so bad that it would Hogg all the servers resources and bring the whole server down every couple of hour so that I had to hard reboot it.

The worst part was that this impacted alł my other services and websites which went down with it every couple of hours. I tried to get a beefier server but that only helped until the next update.

In the end I switched to Piefed and couldn’t be happier. It uses a lot less resources as a single user instance so I could downgrade the server again and it’s written in python so I can much easier help working on it, no need to compile anything, etc. And it has a cool template engine which let’s you easily modify how it looks and feels.

The idiot son of an asshole

Oh, really? OK, that makes it definatelly less terrible. I guess I need to update myself about the organization behind it then. Thanks for the correction!

I have a really hard time seeing a difference between X and Bluesky. Both are run by billionaires for their amusement and benefit. Why are people so hopeful about bluesky?

To be fair the USA seems to have the brightest future compared to basically any other country because you guys don’t have this imminent demographic collapse like most other developed countries like Japan, Korea, China, Germany, Italy, etc. And because of your geography and size you are would only be mildly affected by a WW3.

Perhaps it helps to look at other parts of the world and see how comperativelly well you guys have it.

I guess the biggest challenge is to minimize the huge divide between the rich and the poor. Sadly you missed the opportunity to choose Berny Sanders as your leader a couple of times, that would have helped a lot.
