“Easy” might just be relevant to your experience. You can follow along with the Ansible instructions, or go your own way with Docker and Docker Compose.

Both methods require a bit of work to get spun up, but it’s not too bad.

Linux ISO is slang for pirated content. They were clearly joking. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Linux+ISO

A “joke” often references material that is related, but not the same.

I think they were joking.

The upgrade went smoothly for me. Be smart with your backups with this one!

Upgrading to postgres 16 was the hardest part. You need to pg_dump the lemmy database, upgrade to postgres 16 (which will complain in the logs that the current data isn’t compatible), delete the database folder (don’t delete the backup file from pg_dump!), then import the backup file into postgres 16.

I had already upgraded pict-rs to version 0.5+ so that was easy.

Then I compared the new lemmy.hjson with what I already had to get the new pict-rs setting for proxied images (turned off for now).

Overall a lot more complex than previous upgrades.

Be smart with your backups with this one!

One more thing to consider if you’re using Debian 12 is it comes with postgres 15, so if you you’re using the bare metal to make backups, you’ll need to install postgres 16 using the instructions here.

I’d say SSD or anything else non-spinning is a waste of money for most people’s needs. There are fringe cases, of course, like people who are editing gigantic video files or whatever.

I have a bunch of WD HDD’s that I shucked a while ago, they’ve been running non-stop for over 5 years last time I checked and I haven’t had any problems. That being said, I think Toshiba is usually considered “better”.

Either way, you shouldn’t rely on the reliability of any drive, SSD, HDD, or otherwise. If you have a backup then your worries go out the window and you can live life in peace!

Blocking spam is not selfish, no.

There’s a big lack of a decent RC airplane simulator on Linux. One that you can plug a transmitter in via USB or Bluetooth and go from there. Real flight is the king but it’s Windows only.

Your comment got me thinking… Is this a big deal, or even a small deal?

I think it’s a deal of some proportion. If someone is trying out Linux for the first time and stumbles across how Flatpaks work and starts exploring Flathub, maybe their initial impression will be good enough to consider switching. If something appears to be polished, then maybe it is.

Isn’t that good enough?

No, it opens without delay.

I’m not familiar with the concept. Would Folding@Home be considered a Beowulf Cluster?

How is the disk formated? NTFS?

A week ago someone commented on my 9 year old reddit post.

I was worried that federation was still broken after not seeing any comments on this after 3 hours… But it’s working.

No problems so far on our instance. Thanks for the update and bug fixes.

Oh gotcha. I’d suppose that if a person is that concerned with Threads, they’re probably invested in the idea of Lemmy such that transferring to another instance is not out of the question. Someone who’s not interested in putting in the effort to transfer probably doesn’t feel strongly either way about Threads. That’s just an assumption on my part, of course.

I don’t think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That’s just federation in action. Good stuff.

Will you use it for other stuff or just virtualization? Proxmox is designed for virtualization. It’s based on Debian and has a web GUI.
