Reddit is in danger of a death spiral
I wonder who owns the content posted on Lemmy. I haven’t seen it explicitly called out as Creative Commons or any other license.

Self hosting lemmy: does it support subpath URLs?
Reply in thread
+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

Steam Deck is #1 seller on Steam
Before I got a Deck I thought the hype could not be real. It’s over a year later and I still can’t put it down.

Is SteamOS a future default for handhelds?
I at least suspect there will be a community porting some variant of SteamOS to the more popular handhelds.

Plex Amp is now free!!
I’m glad to see there is now a free version of Plex Amp. This is, by far, my favorite way to stream my music library.

Windows vs Steam OS for your deck?
Reply in thread
+1 If you can't clearly state why you need Windows, you'll probably be happier on Steam OS.

Incredibly Lost and frustrated trying to set up self hosted lemmy server
If you aren't attached to Ansible, I suggest using Docker to host Lemmy. I found it's instructions, using Docker Compose, to be quite straight forward.
My other 2 cents is that hosting on Windows isn't worth the hassle and there will be a lot less to debug on Ubuntu if you're already comfortable with it.

Things you wished you knew before setting up your Deck?

In a similar vain, enabling ssh and using that for config or moving files around has saved me a lot of typing.

wtf is nostr?
Nostr gets rid of the notion of servers and admins. At a high level everyone on nostr owns their own account (no central instance). When you want to post something you send your content to a list of relays you choose.
Other people can choose what relays they want to subscribe to.
Relays can block people from subscribing or posting.
Everything is cryptographically secured so there is no way for someone to pretend to be you.
Lemmy is different where the instance admin has complete control. Admins can post as you and users cannot easily migrate to a different server.

Why do people host Lemmy instances and how do they pay for them?

You do need valid TLS and a cert can’t be directly issued on an IP.

Hopefully large instances keep federating with the small, self-hosted ones. I’m not sure how to check but I think really small instances still have the most reach.

I found a major communication problem with public perception of Lemmy. they seem to think a community is tied to a particular instance
Reply in thread
+1 The provider you choose has complete control of your account. You only have access when their server is up. They control updates.
If they don’t have good backups you could lose everything. It may be unpopular but I think most would be wise to pick one of the already established major instances.

Anyone playing TOTK on their Steamdeck?
Were you using yuzuEA?
The other thing that helps is increasing the VRAM to 4GB.

Oracle keeps changing the idle requirements for compute instances
Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)
You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

This is correct. Other servers will not connect with you if you don’t have a valid certificate.
