I would use it. Anything to not have to use public transportation or fly in an airplane ever again.

I was primarily interested in r/soapmaking, r/instantpot and r/breadmachines. Also some true crime ones - I’ve joined the ones I could find here but there’s hardly anyone in them.

Yes totally. I originally used Reddit because I was subscribed to some super-niche hobby communities. I never doom-scrolled the front page or anything. These communities don’t yet exist in Lemmy yet so I’m kind of hanging around to see what happens. And yes, everything is negative. But to be fair, I didn’t sign up expecting to read uplifting stories and people (or bots) are just posting clickbait garbage that the internet is already awash in anyways.

I prefer more discussion forum type communities rather than link aggregators. I just need to keep looking for what I like and subscribing to those so I can filter out the crap.

ya think?

It was okay. I don’t mean this as a ‘review’, but I saw it a couple of months ago and I don’t really remember what the point of it was. The most interesting thing to me was the dude that played the husband was Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Some of the humour was pretty cringe to be honest. I’m also a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, so that’s how I was coerced into watching it in the first place.

I’m not up to speed on the environmental impact of cotton farming, but it would be pretty cool if this technology could be applied to stuff like the oil palm, which only grows in tropical areas.

Someone please make it stop.

TikTok and its ilk should come with those warnings like you get with cigarettes and alcohol. “May cause lowering of IQ and inhibit the development of critical thinking skills.”

Great, now it will be even easier to post endlessly about it.

My kid’s school here in the UK banned them, but the kids all take them in anyways and the teachers don’t care.

I had banned YouTube in the house, but then the school started assigning homework to watch YouTube videos.

The dependence of our infrastructure on private social media companies is shocking and needs to be stopped immediately.

Yep same here, although for me it’s bread machine and instant pot.

The instant pot is hardly ‘doomed’. Despite its popularity it’s still kind of niche. Tired of things being measured by whether or not they are an internet sensation.

I used to do all this, but then I gave up and started paying for NextDNS. It’s like having your own Piholes in the cloud. It’s like £18/year and is way more reliable than self hosting, especially for something as crucial as DNS for your home. It also has excellent parental controls if you need that, multiple profiles, good logging and analytics and a decent looking privacy policy.

Sure, it’s not as fun as self-hosting but it’s better then getting shouted at every time someone’s app stops working because of some glitch in your setup.

I’m currently trying to get Lemmy working on Azure Container Apps and Azure Postgres Flexible Server. I’ve got it all deployed, but I’m having some issues with the reverse proxy.

Regarding the ‘best’ choice - well it depends on what you mean by ‘best’. AKS will be the most flexible and ACI will probably be the simplest (if it will even work for Lemmy - I haven’t looked at ACI in years). Container Apps will probably be somewhere in the middle. Container Apps is just an abstraction over Kubernetes, so in theory you should get the scalability and flexibility of k8s without the overhead of managing a cluster.

I got Lemmy up and running on my home Rapberry Pi microk8s cluster pretty easily, so it will work fine on AKS for sure.

I’m looking at Container Apps just as a pet project because I’ve been waiting for a product like this for years. Kubernetes is awesome, but has always been too complicated for the average software developer to use. It needs a layer of abstraction and that’s what Container Apps is. So anyways I figured running Lemmy on it would be a good way to test drive it.

As I said though, I’ve run into some issues and am almost at the point where I was going to ask for help. If anyone’s interested, I can post links to my Github repos with my Terraform code and all that.

Yep. If it’s a video it gets a hard pass from me. They can get their ‘views’ from someone else.

I mean through the Jerboa app though. What you’re suggesting is through the web UI right?
