I’ve found the biggest thing isn’t any real resource. My instance runs on a core 2 duo with 4GB of RAM, and I really try to get it to waste memory and barely fill the 4GB.
The thing is your instance will be blasted by all the other instances you subscribe to. If you subscribe to too many big communities you might find you’re locked out during peak times, but it should be just fine as long as you’re not crazy with follows like I am lol
Found the guy who never worked a union job.
Reality doesn’t care whether you care to play or not.
There’s a limited amount of resources, you can’t hire everyone on Earth, you can’t give everyone an unlimited salary. Everything past that you’re making decisions as to who gets what.
And by the way, if you make enough poor decisions eventually everyone loses their jobs.
Its a very true dichotomy.
Hey let’s hire Ashok for this position! He’s really good!
Oops, sorry. Bob Whiteman has been here for 30 years. He’s just good enough not to fire but he has seniority so he gets first dibs on the job.
Hey, let’s give Ashok a raise! He’s really good!
Oops, sorry. Bob Whiteman has been here for 30 years. He’s just good enough not to fire. It he’s been here the longest so he gets paid the most.
The false dichotomy is assuming your choices are a massive adversarial bureaucracy or not making a living wage.
That doesn’t have anything to do with what I said.
Do you want to pay people more because they’re better at their job or do you want to pay people more because they’ve been warming a chair longer than anyone else?
I don’t want to create an echo chamber, so lets make sure that people I disagree with can never talk to anyone who doesn’t agree with them
I’m no big city doctor, but it seems like the people who were strong enough to decide to pack up and leave won.
I don’t think its too bad, but it probably depends a lot on a lot of factors.
Since I first started my hardware got a lot stronger, and nextcloud, php, and mariadb have all improved and so my experience has gotten pretty decent.
Remember though, there’s a ton of biases here, so I could be wrong…
“we only jerk each other off on union hours!”
My experiences with Nextcloud have been on another level in general. Really positive. I use it for a lot of things including notes, and its been really solid.
Nextcloud Notes has become my go-to (Oh look, SJ is advocating for Nextcloud again! How original!)
If Lenovo had better marketing, their decent lower cost phones should be dominating the market totally.
A creepy looking billionaire isn’t totally in charge of ActivityPub and can’t get more power out of politicians by lending favors to them using it.
Friendica is interesting because it’s fundamentally different than a lot of the others. It supports ActivityPub, but also other protocols. The view is fundamentally threaded. It supports groups so some parts of the threadiverse can federate with it in that regard and presumably it could too. It also supports RSS, so you can get content from outside the fediverse.
I liked it, especially with a custom skin I set up. My big problem was that it has a php back-end and I needed something way lighter for my tiny at the time server, so I went with pleroma.
I’m cheap.
So far, Conduit is the only answer for me, since I don’t own any quantum supercomputers.
Steve Jobs died in 2011, the headphone jack disappeared from the iPhone 7 in 2016.
The person who decided a headphone jack is superfluous should be found, tarred, feathered, and left naked and alone deep in the alaskan wilderness covered in pigs blood for the wildlife to enjoy.
Not how the union works. But thanks for trying.
