I just googled something. Don’t remember what I ended up on. Probably some blog post combined with rspamd’s website. It depends on your mailserver anyways.

It’s hard to find anything VLC doesn’t support. Just try it. It’s great on any device.

rspamd is used nowadays. Add sieve filtering to automatically move mails with a 7.0 or higher to a spam-folder. Manually move mails there that haven’t been detected and move mails out of the spam folder that have been falsely detected (personally don’t have any false positives with rspamd).

Then set up bayes learning with rspamd, either when mails are moved between folders or every few hours.

Jellyfin on the PC.

Or using Windows file sharing and running VLC on the TV and tablet.

It’s even in the FAQs of piracy forums. It’s awesome how far Linux gaming has come!

I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

As an instance admin I wouldn’t even know what I could do. This stuff should be automatic.

But it can happen with posts if their community hasn’t been subscribed to from your server yet. Posts, comments and votes only transfer over from the moment someone on your server subscribed to that community. That’s at least how it works with Lemmy and I imagine it’s similar on kbin.

Well behaved bots should see the origin in the headers and only crawl those.

I regularly encounter images not loading from quock.au. No idea if they’ve got that under control now but that is the most visible issue every instance fights with. Gonna be great when we have a recommended configuration for Lemmy.

That’s what the scaled sort is supposed to solve. It pushes up posts that are popular relative to other posts in their communities. So even if they regularly get 0 upvotes they should still show up.

I use the scaled sort on subscribed together with hiding read posts and marking posts as read when I scroll by. That way I usually see the posts made in smaller communities fairly regularly.

I don’t have a 486. I don’t know anyone who has a 486. I wouldn’t know what to do with a 486. I know full well that all versions before 7.1 will be fully usable forever and that someone would fork the kernel if they actually needed to run modern Linux on a 486.

And still this makes me a little bit sad and angry.

Switch and Click had a video about that recently: https://youtu.be/M9qJI2u_be0

Distribution has almost nothing to do with getting a game to run. I’d concentrate on the game specifics, collect logs, validate the files in Steam, try different Proton versions, check protondb, check if other games work, etc.

I was and still am on HDD. The CPU was upgraded as well. I migrated to a new server.

The main culprit was the database. As far as I’m aware Lemmy is missing some indexes and due to the ORM they used didn’t always have optimised queries. Now with 64 GB RAM the whole database (almost 30 GB) fits in there fixing most of those issues.

The real fix will probably come with Lemmy 1.0. They radically changed the database layout and queries.

Image proxying wasn’t bad for performance. Just storage space. It was growing really really fast. Now that only I am using it to host the pictures I uploaded it is still much too large (24 GB). But its directory structure is so convoluted that I can’t really debug it. My stuff really shouldn’t be taking up more than a few hundred MBs.

I am the only one using this instance. I am subscribed to a hundred communities or so. I am always pretty up to date with my Lemmy versions.

RAM. Maybe 32 would have been enough but 64 cost as much as 32 so that decision was easy.

These feelings are not normal. Your neighbour can’t be responsible. Seek psychiatric help.

Same stuff you do on any other instance. Looking at stuff, upvoting, downvoting, posting and commenting.

Control. I’m not beholden to anyone. My server is federating exactly those communities that interest me.

I run an instance just for myself and it was a nightmare on HDD and 16 GB RAM. It was slow as molasses. Supposedly the database layout will be fixed with the 1.0 release that is just around the corner.

Since I upgraded to 64 GB it’s been pretty smooth. Still wild that that is necessary for a single user.

Also, disable image proxying. I have no idea what pict-rs does but it seems to be too much.

You should consider running Piefed instead. It’s not as resource hungry as Lemmy.

I dunno, the group chat that one journalist was accidentally added to sounded pretty delusional to me, if I recall correctly.
