When I say two servers I mean two VMs to get the system to work effectively.

From memory, the admin interface doesn’t get an SSL certificate issued to it. It perpetually stays HTTP. If you don’t set up another server as a reverse proxy, it won’t let you log in due to CORS issues. Add another server as a reverse proxy, and it’ll come good and let you log in.

Hopefully that makes sense?

Hey, thanks for the link/suggestion for Yattee! Never knew something like this existed for iOS.

Music production. And IT in general.

But specifically the music production; started off as “I’ll by FL Studio and muck around with it” to “I need ALL THE VSTs!”. I’ve sunk like $2500 into it in the last two months (which is a hell of a lot of money to me), and I keep buying shit for it.

Am I any good at it? Fuck no. But it’s not stopping me from keeping at it and buying shit I probably don’t need :P

And the IT stuff consists of rack-mount servers and Pi’s. I’ve sunk around $25k into it all over the last 12 years.

I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.

From an Aussie where our Internet is somewhat considered a “public utility” (NBNCo), it’s not the best. I’m paying $130/mo (Aussie bucks) for 250/100 fibre.

Our NTDs are capable of gigabit symmetrical, but thanks to our Lord and Saviour, Rupert Murdoch, it was essentially limited speed wise and the network was built with ridiculous complexity, such as the CVC constraints (Connectivity Virtual Circuit), which means ISPs have to buy additional bandwidth and hope and pray that every user doesn’t max out their connections at the same time.

For example, the POI (Point of Interconnect) I’m connected to has a total of 1.5Gbps with the ISP I’m with. Based on their stats which they make public to customers, I’m guesstimating that there’s approximately ~50 other households in my POI area connected with this ISP. We all have to share that bandwidth otherwise it slows to a crawl.

ETA: I’m purely talking about the FTTP network here, not the other part of the mess that is NBNCo and FTTN/C/B, Fixed Wireless, Satellite & HFC… the NBN is a complete mess.

My disappointment is immeasurable… and my day is ruined.

B365 build here (2020 build).

• i7 9700
• MSI B365M PRO-VDH
• RX 5700 XT 8GB
• 32GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz (Yeah, it’s slowwww but it does what I need it to)
• 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe (boot drive, with TRIM disabled because otherwise it takes 5 minutes to boot)
• 860 QVO 1TB (Bulk Storage for music samples and work files, again with TRIM disabled due to boot times)

I’m going to miss Hackintoshing and (same as you) dual booting when they go full ARM-only. But I’ll probably still rock this build for at least the next 3 years before upgrading to a Mac Studio or a Mac Mini.

macOS on a Hackintosh. It’s stable AF, and I love it. Use it for work and music production. Then I dual boot Windows 10 for games.

Australian here. Yes, I regularly drink water from the tap without boiling it.

The only exception is if Sydney Water issue a “Boil water” alert. That usually only happens after really major flooding though.

I just set up Pixelfed myself. I’ve got it running on a 1GB Linode. Would definitely recommend at least 2GB RAM, because mine is using swap like there’s no tomorrow.

Processor wise, one core seems to be OK. My load averages are 0.11-ish.

I don’t believe that’s possible. At least, not right now. Happy to be corrected though.

I did, yes. It took me a few hours of troubleshooting though, spanned across two days. I’m using Nginx Proxy Manager instead of the Nginx proxy that comes with Lemmy, but it all translates similarly. I also followed this guide on YouTube.

If it’s sitting there saying “pending” for your subscriptions, it may be that the “proxpass /” location ports are off by one. It’ll look like it’s federating properly, but really it isn’t. That was one thing I noticed with the documentation/examples; things were off and not updated. Check my screenshot attached for what I mean. The documentation/example config for the proxy lists the Lemmy-ui port as 1235, but it’s actually 1236.

Hopefully that makes sense. If I can be of any more assistance, let me know!!

Personally… it was an experience to say the least. I went down the Docker path for my instance. I’ve tried to keep away from Docker for ages, but here I am.

I’d recommend using the ansible playbook to get it running, as the docker documentation isn’t very detailed and it gets very confusing; especially for a beginner.
