Yeah that's usually what I do on a computer. But I didn't have easy access to a computer, so I manage my server from my phone. So ssh is usually easier lol

Agreed. Really annoying.
I love Dockge. Have also replaced Portainer with it.
But I hate that I can't just restart a single container easily with it. It's a small enough issue since most of the time I need to restart the entire compose file because of dependencies, but still.
I've tried, but I wasn't able to get it working. I'll look into it again though, cuz I'd love to do it all through NPM.

I agree, very beginner friendly. But also, it's what most people are gonna need.
I actually started with Traefik because I didn't know any better, and I kinda wanna go back to be honest because with Traefik I was able to configure a Minecraft server, without having to expose the port. But not with NGINX Proxy Manager.l, since it only does http and shit. But I REALLY like being able to do everything via a webUI since I only have a phone to manage my server .
So, I find myself stuck between functionality and ease of use. :(
I hope I'm able to properly communicate my thoughts to you! Haha
Alright, so to start, it reads sort of like a tv show, in the way that every chapter we get a shift in perspective and what character we are following. It shifts between 2 narratives. Sort of like every chapter is a different episode. Perhaps I just don't read enough, but this constant back and forth seemed a little odd to me in a written medium? Including the prologue, we get 3 different character POVs.
As for the pacing, it isn't slow, but it isn't fast either. I'd say it's well-paced, but each POV seems to have a slightly different speed, where a chapter for one character could be just a typical day, the chapter for the next character could span a few weeks. This doesn't interrupt the story much at all, and it really seems to only serve to enhance the readers immersion in this world and how fast or slow things move in space and "The Belt" as it's called in the series.
Speaking of the world, so far, it has been built and established pretty wonderfully. 114 pages into the first book of the series, and the writer never seems to shoehorn in exposition into the narrative, but rather it's, usually, a tasteful cutaway to a flashback of sorts that explains perhaps who they're talking to/about, or what event happened to kick off a chain reaction and why, etc.
I have encountered 1 misspelling so far earlier in the book, and it's probably just me, but it's stuck with me since.
In terms of its actual writing and language used, the author uses basic, everyday language, with a few "$5" words sprinkled in that can sometimes cause confusion, although that could just be due to my limited personal dictionary. Overall, it doesn't detract from the story, especially if you're willing to take a moment to look up a word or 2 every couple chapters.
In terms of "sci-fi"-ness, so far everything the entire series has taken place either in the empty vacuum of space, or smaller stations scattered throughout the solar system. The way the author describes some everyday actions and activities, and their difficulty or impossibility in the altered gravity of space and/or space stations really sucks me into the universe as it makes me believe that even though these people are humans, they're living an entirely different existence, with different rules.
I said a lot, especially for only being 114 pages into the first book, but it has sucked me back into reading, and I commend it for that.
Also, a few articles I've seen scattered across the internet when searching for other books in the series have called it "the greatest sci-fi series of the decade" for whatever that's worth to you.
Oh, and they also have a "major" tv show based on the books.
Hope this comment answers a few questions for you :)
I don't know if I'd call it a slump. I liked reading, but just don't read much.
But I recently picked up James S. A. Corey's first book in "The Expanse" universe, Leviathan Wakes, and I'm having troubling putting it down!
I just started "Leviathan Wakes", the first novel in The Expanse universe. According to Google I'm about 25% through, and I'm loving it!
I'm not much of a reader, but I just can't seem to put this down !
You know what, yeah, completely fair.
If you don't mind me asking, what apps are, in your opinion, as good as Sync? (Removing the ads, and payment and shit out of the debate).
I've used Thunder, Jerboa, Connect, LiftOff, and maybe another that I can't recall. Last time I used each of them, they were nowhere near the level of Polish that Sync has. That being said, it has been a while because once the Sync alpha launched, I exclusively used Sync for browsing and Connect for posting. They might have changed and been updated, etc.
Couldn't agree more!
(I hope I don't come off as attacking you! I'm kinda just using your comment to piggyback and make my own haha)
It's closed source, as was his reddit version, so idk what anyone expected there. He also never said it was ever going to be open source. But I completely understand anyone who isn't willing to let go of their FOSS. FOSS is good for a reason! :)
I do understand the mindset that it goes against the fediverse, but I happen to disagree. In other threads, there's been discussion about how they are actively paying donations, patreons, paypal, etc to help fund their favorite instance or whatever else. That needs to happen to offset the cost. Especially if it is the instance owners hobby, and not full time job.
Well, what if we want a nice experience while using Lemmy? Sure, there's plenty of apps, but what if someone was able to dedicate their entire working hours to that app? To make it as good as possible? Well, then they'd need to make money somehow, right? Or they'd have to get a different job, and do the app as a hobby. This hurts the app, and then it just becomes another run of the middle Lemmy client.
I understand why people are upset. Lemmy is free. The fediverse is free. (Most of) the apps are free. But someone is paying for all of this, whether we realize it or not.

Oh most def.
I guess I'm complaining that it isn't already there, but honestly I love Dockge. Won't be going back to Portainer. Pretty much since the beginning I've been using compose files, and it always bugged me how Portainer handled them.
Dockge is what I've always wanted, tbh. Just some QoL stuff here and there, but I'm very happy with it :)
