Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about?
honestly I don't think it's really a significant issue but if you're worried just use a fs that can repair itself like zfs (not sure if btrfs can do that too but it might)

Server administration and other stuff via XMPP

it's a single comment from a single bot that you can block. it's probably useful for new people, there's always mountains of acronyms in tech

Can someone list the youtube alternatives and maybe even link them if youre feeling super generous?

it's not against tos if that's what you were implying. unlike vanced, they don't distribute a modified YouTube app, just the patches and the patcher.

Trouble moving a container and its data to another server
you're probably right about it being a permissions error but also including some relevant logs would be useful (or just stick all of them on pastebin or something and give us a link). could also be a docker misconfiguration considering it's a different system and I assume they're not identically set up with Ansible or something similar
edit: also id personally use tar because I'm not entirely sure zip files preserve linux permissions
edit again: from 2 seconds of google searches, I think I'm correct about that, so definitely try using tar

Which Android Lemmy apps have mod tools?
Reply in thread
afaik it doesn't support any notifs yet so report notifications will probably be added at the same time as general notification functionality.

Why are 90% of the images WebP format?
Reply in thread
fair but "it" here is pretty vague. my guess is that, in your case, whatever part of "it" that processes the image handles webp files just fine but for some reason the devs made "it" reject file extensions that don't match ".jpeg", ".png", ".whatever_else" for some reason before the file gets handled further.

it depends, people also need money to yk survive so they'll often accept lots of abuse because they don't have much other choice.

Sync for Lemmy pre-registration is now open
Reply in thread
but the devs of these popular reddit apps likely have recycled a tonnn of their reddit app's code into the Lemmy app and and are therefore working with a much more mature codebase that they're also much more comfortable with. for example, I'm loving liftoff but it has so many random bugs that, while not awful, are a bit jarring. and the vast majority of them aren't Lemmy bugs, they're just normal app bugs that haven't been worked out yet. and while I'm sure the liftoff devs are great, it's a new app and will experience growing pains that sync likely won't deal with as much.

best time to make that decision is the present. personally I just transferred over my subscriptions and deleted the account of the previous instance I was on. it didn't take much time.

"alternatively obtained" is funny but yea I completely agree. also makes the project description much less clunky sounding and more descriptive.

[Solved] I want to ditch Nextcloud notes
Reply in thread
yup, this is what I do and it works great. just be careful if you add plugins that store a ton of metadata that changes a lot (or logs) because that can lead to some sync conflicts and you might wanna exclude them. I've just been ignoring the sync conflicts tho and haven't had issues yet so maybe you could do the same

cautionary tale with OwnCube (nextcloud hosting)
Reply in thread
not sure where you are but in the US I see a lot of cheap used laptops being sold online with broken screens for example or messed up keyboard/touchpad, etc. stuff that would make it awful for use as a laptop but almost entirely unimportant for a server use-case (if the kb/touchpad is dead you can just plug in an external during initial setup/troubleshooting). of course you gotta make sure that it wasn't damaged in a way that would matter more. ex: if the kb/touchpad are broken due to water damage I'd be wary of issues with other vital parts

sorry! didn't get a notification for this. but I'm liking lemm.ee because the instance is extremely well run and hasn't had any noticable downtime or performance issues I've noticed with others. the person who runs it seems to really know what they're doing and IIRC they're a Lemmy dev.

What is your ratio? 😅

I doubt you're being serious but I was curious and did the math. transferring 88000 TB over a 1Gbps connection would take 8148 days or over 22 years straight

Trouble moving a container and its data to another server
Reply in thread
I checked out your edit and what's going on is pretty weird. my recommendation (if you don't wanna just use the native import/export feature and give up on DB dumps) is to (on the new server) create a minimal tandoor docker-compose.yml, run it, do minimal setup, see if it works, and if the fresh container works, check the permissions, then just replicate those perms for your other postgres directory that contains data you actually care about. good luck!
