It’s the exact same with 55+ communities and when social security goes up. Sure they can tie it to rent, but the problem is that the landlords will just siphon more out. It’s a very short sighted solution.

The next problem is corporate landlords charging so much for apartments.

It’s out of date, and in desperate need of a rewrite. PHP might have been an okay choice 15 years ago, but no one in their right mind should be using PHP for modern server development. (Yes I’m calling out Pixelfed too). With so many languages and frameworks, that’s probably one of the worst right now.

Then it was proven that they don’t really get modern infrastructure either, as their docker containers depend on stateful code, with combinations of environment variables and php files that need to be stored in volumes, and then plugins which are also stateful - meaning that on new updates they need to go through an “update” process. This is directly opposite of good practice as docker containers should be 100% immutable and be able to run just by using docker run. They also have required volume mounts scattered throughout the OS, it was just never designed with containers in mind.

I can’t recommend nextcloud right now, it’s incredibly brittle and slow.

No, you argued and shot down every idea. Let’s take the bar one, you said:

A. There only to drink. B. Are not comfortable knowing new people and only there with their friends or family. C. Very self focused, that they are uninterested into pursuing other activities

So going into this you had a very negative outlook and ignored that you gave a very narrow view. Obviously you assumed a lot about people and what they thinking, and you shut yourself out before ever saying hello. I know this one to be false because I am someone who loves going to a bar, sitting down at the bar, and starting small talk. Sure if you walk up to a group of people you’re going to get weird looks, but I’ve met some very interesting people while sitting on a barstool and just chatting.

This is just one example. I could go to all of the others too, but the point is is that you have a very negative outlook. I go back to what I said, the first step is to find your own personal joy, what gives you enjoyment. I say it’s not that you’re lonely, it’s that you don’t know yourself. You start by looking inward, and learning who you are.

You already posted this on another thread and I like what they said.

Find something you like doing, then join a local group that does it. Can be anything.

And another said volunteering.

You replied:

Bro, I need a starting point. And I don’t like chess and people at the gym seem to be only there to exercise and leave as soon as possible. I need a effective solution.

The first step is an inward journey, figuring out who you are and what you enjoy/like. First you need to be comfortable with yourself, and then other people will come around.

Your starting point is you. What do you like, what do you enjoy doing, and if you don’t know, well there’s the problem right there. There are 8 billion people on this planet right now, the people are there. If you don’t know what you enjoy, how are you supposed to find enjoyment?

Email to register is a one time step to prevent spamming. Just make a throwaway email somewhere and register. Any instance not doing that is open to spammers

Agree with others, if you try to do a replica it’s going to be very inefficient, and your costs will be high. You’re looking for a backup, then just nightly/weekly you perform your backups. Any blob storage then will do, just work out what pricing works for you. Just plan out how you’d do a restore in case everything came crashing down - from ground up how would you bring your services back online?

I disagree. It’s on the individual to decide what speed they can themselves handle. it’s not a car where you’re going to hurt someone else by plowing into them or into a group of people, on an ebike for the most part you’re only going to hurt yourself. (Yes yes you could hurt someone else by running into them but compared to a car it’s a much different thing). So I disagree, since you are taking on most of the risk yourself then you should be allowed to choose what you are comfortable with. Streets already have speed limits, as long as you’re respecting that then I think it’s enough. Is it safe? I don’t care, that’s on the individual to decide.

If parents are uncomfortable with that then it’s on them to regulate their own children, not force their wishes on everyone else. It’s a freedom issue, and I’m not willing to give up my freedom to choose a bike I want because other people are worried about their kids. The solution is incredibly simple: don’t buy your kids something that they can get hurt on.

I’d be okay with an age rating on there similar to ESRB for parents, but I don’t want restrictions on devices because parents can’t be bothered to research the products they buy for their children. We deserve freedom to buy what we want without having safety padding on everything because other people can’t be bothered to do the basic minimum research.

I didn’t say wattage, I said speed. As a parent you should know that putting your child on anything that has a motor means you need to pay attention. My ebike said right on the box, on the website, and in the store what the speed was. It was no secret how fast it could go. Any parent should be able to know that putting your child on something that goes over 20 mph that it’s dangerous, it’s not rocket science. If they buy a device which moves their child that fast, that is 100% on them. They can take responsibility.

Fine it’s not technically a fork. It just consumes code from SteamOS and puts it onto Fedora. Happy? That wasn’t really the point of my comment, my comment was encouraging the person to try it.

Video games have ratings right on the box, ebikes have top speeds written on them. I put the blame on the parents.

I use Bazzite on my TV, fork of SteamOS, and it’s been a gamechanger. It’s so easy to just have all of my games on the TV, so I think the machine will be a great investment.

This is very close I think to critics and movies. Critics will always be hyper critical of movies because, well, it’s your job. You go in and watch movies all day - you’re going to pick up on small details that most average watchers won’t notice and you will be hyper critical of that.

Similar here, if your job is to play games and review hardware I’m guessing the writer of this thinks more people than not have huge gaming setups, when in reality Valve is right, most have a modest setup. They know they’re not competing with ultra highend, those people are already in the bag. They’re going after the casual people who maybe haven’t updated their PC in 6 years and just want to play some newer games, getting them into the ecosystem. In short, it’s hard to be a critic of a system that wasn’t designed for you in mind. Hell it’s not designed for me either.

HDD enclosure is a fine way to start, as long as you know it has limitations. Eventually you’ll probably need more storage, and it won’t scale. That being said, you can get 26TB hard drives now, it’ll be a while. Just make sure you plan out how to back it up. Remember the rule - if you can’t afford to buy a backup then you can’t afford to do the project. Make sure you have backups in mind.

If you decide to upgrade to a full NAS solution later also remember that during that migration you probably will need to use new hard drives while migrating as your current ones will need to be copied from to the new NAS, meaning you will probably end up with a few redundant drives. Not a huge thing, but there will be no “in-place” upgrade. It all depends on where you want your homelab to go in the future.

I have to imagine it’s easier than starting a coalition to ban things, but I’ve been wrong about that before

Build what you want to see. You’ll find that there is far less hand-holding here on Lemmy and the fediverse. If there is content you want to see, then you need to be willing to help post and show. You’re doing a good job here by posting, but be the change you want to see.

If there is a community you want, help kickstart it by posting regularly and driving discussion, evangelizing it.

As for uncensored, you may have to go to the less-federated servers, as most of the content has been defederated, usually with good reason.

As with everything, parents refuse to do any research and just buy whatever for their children. Next steps will be attempting to ban them.

Yeah honestly people are just antagonistic everywhere I’ve learned. There’s no perfect place. I think Lemmy is better, but there are also jerks everywhere

GCP and Azure both do multi-regional so much better than AWS. I’m always shocked at how region-dependent companies are that I work at. The problem is that multi-regional needs to be a decision from the ground up, from day one. If it’s not it’s so much harder to convert to be multi-regional

Yeah from what I’ve seen its basically “I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas”.

These guys who read about alpha beta sigma crap, are sexist, misogynistic, completely clueless are then shocked that women don’t want to be around them. It requires introspection, which I don’t think many of them have.
