Do you think that dating is hard sometimes...?

Hey, it's not your fault.

If you are a guy, and you don't look like Brad Pitt, online dating is depressing. If you happen to look like Brad Pitt, it can still be pretty hard.

That's just how it is structured. People approach online dating looking for short term distractions. Try setting up a profile saying something like 'I am looking for someone who is willing to put in the hardwork through all the arguments and the compromises and adjustments we will need to make a marriage work' and see how much success you have.

You could be doing everything right and you still will end up getting matched with a lot of people who might not be as serious as you might be about it. That's just how online dating works.

A reddit like frontend for lemmy

Reply in thread

Probably because a lot of people who are attracted to lemmy might have loved the freedom and anonymity that old reddit offered them back then and this interface reminds them of that. I for one have fond memories of how reddit was a decade ago and it's been a while since I've seen a social network like that. Everything these days are so facebook like.

I might be wrong but maybe running an nginx instance in front of your lemmy and with the right kinda url redirects, you could probably make this the default interface for kerala.party and have mobile.kerala.party go to a wefwef instance pointed towards your lemmy instance.

So if me and a group of friends install lemmy instances on our pcs, and setup some form of dynamic dns duckdns that will bind our ips to some hostname, then will all of them communicate with eachother and sync the posts as we come online?

I understand how multiple instances work and how I can subscribe to communities across the fediverse from any instance. I also read that it an instance goes offline, it'll sync up with the other instances when it comes back online.

That got me thinking, it this thing works like that, can't I run an instance on my laptop that'll sync up with the rest of the fediverse every time I open it up.

So if a group of people ran their own in their own laptops, would it work, granted, people end up coming online at the same time

Anyone tried NixOS already ?

Still there's the aspect of installing something esoteric or troubleshooting weird behaviour, and it's usually easy to find help for fedora or ubuntu. Arch has a great community too.

How does that work for NixOS?

I wanted to try but then people online were saying it's difficult to install and the docs weren't clear enough. I didn't want to deal with all that work. The declarative aspect is alluring. For now I'm really happy with Fedora to switch.

I switched to Fedora earlier this year. I can see why people are saying Fedora is the new Ubuntu. Shit just works.

FOSS software I really like? I just love the GNOME desktop and Okular reader.
