Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

The vast majority of the popular accounts are not run by the women on the profile. Most of them pay friends or agencies to manage the page for them, they simply show up to photo shoots every now and then and enjoy the easy money.

UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.

I run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it’s pretty much the same as the SaaS product.

Your title should be “fuck subscriptions, except subscriptions from this site pulled from 1998” since everything in your guide relies on a paid debrid sub.

Hey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if their apps are still screwed up and sending large amounts of junk traffic at me, but at least now it’s going into a void.

Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.

Or quit using his code altogether.

Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.

AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

Maybe don’t allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.

Looks like I’m about to switch fully to YT-DL/Plex for the subscriptions I care about. Should be good until they start embedding ads into the video files anyway.

Apollo going away was the catalyst for me. I will never use Reddit’s garbage website or first-party app.

Plus Lemmy gave me an excuse to host another neat service and still waste the same time I did on Reddit.

I’m just letting mine do whatever it wants, got plenty of local storage. If/when I have storage issues I’ll add an s3 bucket, pretty easy to modify the entrypoint for pictrs to pass s3 connection info in the docker-compose deployment.

I spun up Firefly a few months ago and had about three weeks where I was actively categorizing transactions and reconciling everything and then my ADD kicked in. Really cool tool but I just need something low-maintenance for budget tracking.

From what I’ve seen and read, server to server traffic is less taxing on instances than client to server. So even if your instance is JUST you, it would be your instance talking to everything else so it would have some net benefit on the federation. But it would take a lot of users self-hosting solo instances for this to help in any noticeable way, I’d think.

There is certainly no downside to running a solo instance, if you’re even slightly interested I would say go for it!

I’m interested, but I don’t know Rust and haven’t done frontend work in years. Might be able to do some work around scalability and contribute to a Kubernetes deployment guide (and/or Helm chart).

4vcpu (Ryzen), 8GB RAM, 256gb disk (which will be expanded when it gets to like 60% full). Not too worried about storage unless I get a bunch of image-happy users, text all comes in as json and goes straight to Postgres so it’s not a concern.

I run all my lab servers/services/etc in their own /16 on my home net. Nothing is publicly routed in over my WAN IP- if I want to expose a service, it goes through Nginx Proxy Manager to my local service via a ZeroTier tunnel.

I would strongly encourage you to not expose any of the *arr services (particularly your download node) to your WAN IP. PIA’s desktop app does a pretty good job of forcing a full tunnel with a VPN kill switch, so you never have to worry about your ISP catching onto what you’re doing.

Small instances don’t seem to require anything major, I’m running mine on a VM with 4c/6gb ram/256gb disk with no issues- it’s just a few Docker pods. Just make sure you use a dynamic DNS provider if you’re hosting from home, as valid SSL is required to connect to the federation.
