Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

Nuclear power is green energy.

It’s a brewery in Southern California. No wait, it’s a small rock.

(Serious answer, it’s a unit of measurement equal to 14 pounds.)

$3.33/month? I too would like to know who your VPS provider is.

This made me realize why I found this whole question so confusing. I write code professionally, but don’t really do open-source professionally or personally. There’s just very little reason for two people to be writing code in the same file in the same week in my job. If it does happen, it still doesn’t usually come close enough to cause a conflict. The rare case I find myself resolving merge conflicts is usually because I have some super old stash that I decide I actually want to apply months later.

I wish we could leave cynical takes like this back on Reddit. They don’t add anything of value to the conversation.

For Lemmy in particular I would suggest joining the Matrix chat. There’s quite a lot of activity related to working out and reporting issues that happens there.

This only proves that you can’t unilaterally migrate a subreddit. That instance currently has ~250 users. I don’t know how active the subs it represents were, but surely they had at least an order of magnitude more active users than that?

Even with in-video ads, those must be paid based on historical (or actual?) view counts right? No matter how big you are, there’s no way you’re going to maintain view counts when switching away from YouTube.

I think GP is saying the the total income from Premium doesn’t cover the cost of running all of Youtube, not that a single premium subscription doesn’t cover that one user’s costs, which it obviously does (or the people running YouTube are truly idiots).

I would suggest joining us on the Lemmy matrix space, particularly the “Lemmy Instance Admin” channel. It’s much easier to help in semi-real time.

Yeah, after I got my lemmy and matrix servers up and running I started looking at doing mail myself… The rabbit hole just kept getting deeper and darker, and MTAs seems to have stopped evolving in the 90s so I gave up. Email for my lemmy instance is now handled by Google. I’ve always used on of the big players (currently Outlook because I got a good username when they opened up the outlook.com domain) for my personal email.

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it’s worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

It’s quite the opposite at this point. Reddit isn’t really in control anymore. Rather, something drastic would have to happen to Lemmy to cause me to leave. Reddit is no longer the default choice.
