“So I was grooming this kid the other day…”

crowd laughs

Classic stuff.

I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.

(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).

On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.

Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.

I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.

It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.

I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.

People who care about the environment should probably be breeding this things on a large scale and releasing them in heavily populated areas.

I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*

It’s cool how everyone is replying with no IMDb or TVDB links. Having to search whatever title is mentioned in a comment and guess at the correct result makes for a truly enjoyable thread.

Upvote: helpful information, handy tips that are those little nuggets of gold you mine comments sections hoping to find, actually witty comments instead of oft-repeated Reddit style puns, people who actually put some effort in to their post. Basically: stuff I’d want to see if I stumbled on this thread from a Google search in the future.

Downvote: comments complaining about downvotes, any reference to “tankie” or any other perceived and dismissive stereotype, users who complain about being picked on especially by mods (and usually back it up with some tinfoil fanfic about how they’ve been tracked by Them), Reddit-isms that were overused there and never worth using here, people who don’t source their “fact” especially when accompanied by a comment like “it’s easy to find this fact”. If it’s that easy, you do it.

I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.

Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.

Yeah but I might be .05% native american and then I can get a cool eagle tattoo

If its not, then why is it so popular there?

Everyone’s so keen to be 12% Irish so they can claim they enjoy beer because of their proud Irish heritage, or have 0.5% native american so they can claim a tribe and get tattoos that are deeply spiritual (now), or that 8% Italian which explains why they love pizza. For a country that’s so publicly proud - what with the flags and all - everyone’s certainly keen to find any excuse to pretend to be from somewhere else.

I know literally one Australian who’s done it, and they only did it after living in the US for a couple of years.

One of my family members moved to the US and did it. Really pissed me off that they’d do that but I guess it’s the thing to do there?? They’ve since moved back to AU but got to leave a little bit of themselves (and by genetics, me) behind to be sold to the highest bidder <3

Thanks heaps for that.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn

CB radios often had a “PA” switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood

We used to roll those back in the day. A friend gave my very drunk self a lift home one evening and I used it to give commentary to a group of revellers on the side of the road… who threw a beer bottle at us, and then chased the car which luckily didn’t get stopped at the traffic light nearby.

Good times.

I deliberately avoided IT as a career because I didn’t want my hobby to be ruined by making it work.

Unfortunately now I’m so buggered after working my normal job that I lack the energy (and time) to code much anyway. And I earn less, probably.

Think I might have played myself.

“Shorts” and “Games” are like herpes. No matter how many times you try to get rid of them, they just keep appearing.

I do not want short form video, nor do I want to participate in “gaming” that is just poker machines reskinned as a “game” to take your money.

The “not interested” button, it does nothing!

In Australia, they are also called guide dogs, for the same reason. And for the same other reason too.

Exactly the same, in fact, since our Guide Dogs was started by a bloke from the OG English crew back in the 50s. Not sure what blind people did before that, just kinda wandered around and hit things with sticks I guess.

zzz… so desperate to make it a racist comment.

Or the fact people from Two Rivers are often identified by their physical look and way they speak, but the TV series starts out with every person from their tiny isolated village being ethnically diverse.

Give this a whirl:
