Multiple Firefox windows? I’m not that civilised, I just have 100+ tabs in the one window.

I like to have a 50GB+ swap file. Though Fedora is a bit weird with swap files as by default it’s stored in RAM (Yes, extra space for RAM is stored in RAM. I… admit I don’t understand the detail).

I use a shit load of RAM on Linux. You guys clearly have amateur numbers when it comes to how many applications you have open at once.

It seems the RSA-155 (512 bit) encryption commonly used in the 90s was broken in 1999, no quantum needed (due to it being based on primes).

Though from what I can search up, reddit users from 10 years ago were confident a 128 bit modern algorithm (e.g. AES) would never be able to be brute forced, even by quantum computers.

I dunno, sometimes I wonder if not everyone on the internet is an expert.

But isn’t the point that we just need to stay ahead of it. Surely encryption used in the 90s could be broken by a quantum computer today?

I get how it’s possible, but this is Google. Surely they have decades of experience at keeping a website up no matter what happens!

But how does this happen? Surely Google has the ability to make highly available systems that are resistant to power going out at one of the three locations (as per the article).

Possibly related to the whole mental load thing: https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/05/20/you-shouldve-asked/

When you have two jobs you don’t really want a third.

It’s hard to know overall for Lemmy, but I know that both Lemmy.ca and Lemmy.nz have surveyed their members.

https://lemmy.ca/post/15125231 https://lemmy.nz/post/12001861

Both were around 87% men, where as this selfhosting one is like 96% men.

I would guess it’s explained by society. Women are less likely to be in STEM which seems to almost be a prerequisite for Lemmy and possibly self-hosting, and of those women in STEM, and ( despite what you might think about your own house) there is still a societal expectation of them running the household and doing most of the household chores, even when they work full time. A third job, selfhosting, may be too much.

Damn, and I thought the gender ratio on Lemmy was bad.

It’s really going to depend on what you’re trying to do.

How did you set up your lemmy instance? Did you use the ansible script?

Which part in particular are you having trouble with?

One puzzle piece you may be missing is that you’re going to have two different websites (a photon one and a lemmy-ui one) and they will (I’m assuming) both be on the same server. You’ll need a way to direct traffic to the right place, and that way is a reverse proxy. You might reuse the nginx that Lemmy uses, but I find it’s cleaner to leave Lemmy to do it’s thing and set up another reverse proxy (which might be another nginx or it might not). Some other popular ones are nginx proxy manager, caddy, traefik, haproxy.

Exactly. Not the over a million that it looks like at a glance.

The user count isn’t helpful anyway, active users is a much better measure.

That graph is so misleading. Makes it look like almost all the users disappeared but the Y axis only covers a small range at the top.

It said it was free to download and use but a convenience charge for getting it on Steam.

But like you, I’m also happy with Heroic, and there’s also Lutris.

It’s ok, there isn’t 50 years of world left.

Ah right, I get you. I wonder if they have considered this. Pretty sure their free/demo tier is 100 searches not confined to a time period so presumably the platform could handle that model.

I’m not gonna subscription my heated car seats but search is a service that costs an ongoing amount to provide. The subscription isn’t significant, it’s $5 a month for 300 searches (or $10 for unlimited).

I know we’ve been conditioned to expect search for free, but if we want to get away from the “the user is the product” model then I think it’s a good thing to have a subscription to a service that has ongoing costs to provide.

You’re not the only one. They have a leaderboard and the top 7 results are various Pinterest domains.

You pay instead of seeing ads, so they need the account. Remembers you, though, so you just login once. Plus they have a solution for incognito/private windows too.

I really like it, has some cool features.

It’s 1996 and we have plans for a new telescope game!

2021: finally launches

OK maybe the software industry already operates like NASA.
