Arch with i3wm

Yeah I feel that a vast majority of them would just install the Official™ Reddit app and live with the crap. We’ll see though.

Yeah I use adblock.

If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank

Depending on what kind of content they serve, they usually still make a lot of money.

I don’t remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.

I’m absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren’t planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.

I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.

Anyway, I don’t really care what happens to r/piracy. There’s a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I’m sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.

The last feature I liked from Discord was screensharing. Everything else since has been useless or outright terrible.

I’m torn as well. I find it easier to navigate Lemmy but Kbin’s interface feels much more polished.

As someone who wants to self-host an instance, which would you guys recommend? I’ve been reading through the documentation for both and Lemmy seems easier to install. Does anyone have experience with both? I’m interested to know how well they scale in terms of performance.

Interesting. I just searched some topics related to a paper I’m working on and found some good resources which I haven’t seen on Google yet. Really interesting.

They do a $100 test charge IIRC when upgrading to their PAYG (pay-as-you-go) tier. They also don’t like virtual/prepaid CCs.

Mine is about a year old as well. I’m also curious to know what triggers these bans. I also noticed people bringing up Minecraft servers on r/oraclecloud. I personally have a Valheim server running for months but I haven’t had any issues.

I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They’re a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.

They’re generic keys IIRC.

Debian + nginx + docker (compose).

That’s usually enough for me. I have all my docker compose files in their respective containers in the home directory like ~/red-discordbot/docker-compose.yml.

The only headache I’ve dealt with are permissions because I have to run docker as root and it makes a lot of messy permissions in the home directories. I’ve been trying rootless docker earlier and it’s been great so far.

edit: I also use rclone for backups.

Link to those who don’t want to deal with the paywall.

Honestly, if you’re someone making gaming videos, it’s hard to find an audience in other platforms.

Just wanted to add that you also get two free AMD64 servers (1C/1GB). Been using mine for a year now but I do agree - don’t use it for anything personal or critical. Make backups!

I don’t know if it counts but I’ve been using pandoc for the entirety of my college life so far which includes creating presentations and writing papers. For collaboration with other students, we would usually use Google Docs. It’s pretty much the standard nowadays.

Here’s a video about it.

If you don’t know what osu! is, it’s a really popular rhythm game where you click circles to the beat or rhythm of a song.

“lazer” is their new open source client they’ve been developing for several years now.

Oracle has a tendency to pull the rug and take your VPS away. You can read about it on the forums or on r/oraclecloud. I still have mine but I’ve heard of so many stories about how Oracle will flat out just terminate your instance without warning.

If you want to push through with it, make sure to do regular backups (as everyone should do).

Mass Effect series. Especially ME3 with the DLC’s. I think it was the Citadel DLC that I enjoyed the most. The game was really emotional at times.
