9 year creator as well, and I was legitimately sad when I pressed that delete account button. Before running the automated removal scripts I read through each one of my posts and comments and that brought back a lot of interesting memories of a different younger me. I archived what I could and got rid of the rest.

Yes I use third party apps but it's the whole response from /u/spez and Reddit that really made me call it quits. They're clearly catering for the Tiktok generation and not users who genuinely want to post original content and build good communities.

You didn't just push it to main, you also pushed confidential code to the public repo!

It's not on the Magazine page but you currently can access your list of subscribed magazines from the settings.

Hah I can't unsee it now after you pointed it out. It's very obvious if you rotate the image.

Ah I found it on Hetzner, looks like it's the i9-13900 with those specs for 100E. That's certainly an interesting choice architecturally with the 16 e-cores and the consumer grade platform.

Great! There likely will be a new influx of users at the end of the month when the API finally goes down.

Just curious but what hardware specs is Kbin currently running on (the 100E machine)? In the past Ernest used a 64GB/16vCPU dedicated VM and he had lots of trouble with performance.

You definitely could, though you might be violating your ISP's TOS (unless you're on a business line as most residential plans disallow hosting) and you'll likely be legally liable for the things the other person does with your connection. Home lines are also oversubscribed very heavily and you probably won't be able to handle Kbin.social levels of traffic.

Meanwhile if you're just planning to have a small instance there already are people home hosting Lemmy with Cloudflare; I've thought of that myself but don't really have the need for that at the moment.

The boost also apparently sends the post out to your subscribers, whereas the upvote does not.

The pinnacle would probably be a dedicated Ampere server or workstation.

AFAIK Kbin runs on a single server currently. That's why they're looking at scaling it out to multiple machines.

How would you compare it to Matrix? I use Matrix and have never tried XMPP.

If it's more of a party than a concert then seriously don't go for your own safety. You'll be either woozy or in pain (or both) and you won't enjoy it.

Now if it's like a traditional seated concert, that's probably fine as long as you have someone with you. I would not recommend going out on your own a day after the surgery.

Kbeanauts!

The way Reddit works is that the first commenter with a decent response gets all the karma, so yeah people rush it. It's good practice for writing under a tight time constraint though as you go through the entire cycle of planning to draft to editing in only 30 minutes - 2 hours.

You get better with time and you'll be surprised as to how quickly you can improve after doing dozens of them. Here's my WP archive for reference, the oldest responses at the end of the "archive 1" pdf (from 8 years ago) I laugh at today but the skills I learned there carry over to the recent ones.

There already is a https://kbin.social/m/WritingPrompts, but there isn't much content.

Yeah personally I'm not a fan and I would rather follow a well-written guide than spend even more time auditing such a script (which would be even more difficult if you're not experienced with Proxmox). For maintenance's sake it's also risky getting your service set up like this as you don't know how the script set things up and it's harder to fix things if they go wrong.

I've never used a colo before; my rack servers live happily in my basement. If you google say "1U network colo <city name>" you'll find many providers.

Check out a local colo. It's much cheaper than renting bare-metal hosts as you provide the hardware, and they have proper security, redundant power, and dedicated fiber.

I would definitely defederate if they advertise all over the place, like how I would ban them from my subreddit if they go and spam it. But if their staff stay on their own server (again think of it like being an official subreddit) to run an official forum I would be happy to federate with them so I can ask for technical support etc.
