What are some examples of xkcd 2347? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's possible leftpad was an example Randall was thinking of, but the date of the comic is Aug 17, 2020, more than 4 years after leftpad.

What does your infrastructure look like? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's great! I've got an old HP desktop that a family member discarded that will be the start of mine.

Do you use a single docker-compose.yaml file for an entire machine, or docker-compose files per-app?

What does your infrastructure look like? (lemmy.world)
 

In the What are YOU self-hosting? thread, there are a lot of people here who are self-hosting a huge number of applications, but there's not a lot of discussion of the platform these things run on.

What does your self-hosted infrastructure look like?

Here are some examples of more detailed questions, but I'm sure there are plenty more topics that would be interesting:

  • What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
  • Do you use containers or plain packages?
  • Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
  • How do you handle logs?
  • How about updates?
  • Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
  • Etc.

I'm starting to put together the beginning of my own homelab, and I'll definitely be starting small but I'm interested to hear what other people have done with their setups.

Help Needed: Script for Lemmy in c/[email protected]

Not to mention it will increase your instance's storage requirements far beyond what you use. If you take @lackthought's suggestion to use browse.feddit.de, you'll only be pulling in things that you actually use.

Self-Hosting Lemmy: How easy is it to federate? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm considering running my own Lemmy instance just for myself and maybe a few friends, but before I go to the trouble I want to make sure I don't get into a place where I've put the instance up but no one will federate with me because I'm too small to be worth it and they're overwhelmed by federation requests.

Those of you who've set up an instance, was this a problem? Do the big servers have explicit allowlists, or do they tend to blocklist instead?

Legal considerations of self-hosting Lemmy instance in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That deals with pretty much all your legal issues.

Does it, though? Isn't it possible that I'm federating with an instance that fails to moderate, and as a result I end up with CSAM on my instance?
