NUC 8i5, 32GB, 500GB NVMe (host), 8TB SSD (data), Akasa Turing fanless case, running Proxmox:
I also have a Pi 4 running LibreElec for Kodi on the home theater. Nothing fancy yet and it more than meets our current needs. Most maintenance done over SSH.
Would like to eventually get a proper web and email server going (yes, I know).
That's a great post too, thanks for sharing it here. My hope is that folks might still manage to find this info through search engines, even if Lemmy isn't yet as highly indexed as other platforms.
Yep, this is how we've kept ours for over 20 years. Even if you don't use the command line, most graphical file browsers will search through text files without issue.
I was an rxvt/urxvt fan for nearly 20 years, then Alacritty for a while. Nowadays, I just use gnome-terminal and I've been happy with it. Looking forward to trying Prompt though.
5 days later: Prompt is the bee's knees! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a snappy, feature-rich GTK4 terminal, especially if you work with containers.
I have a Paperwhite myself, but from what I've read the Oasis works just as well via USB and is equally compatible with Calibre. The experience is pretty much plug-n-play after the initial setup wizard.
Unfortunately, no. The lemmy.ca site admins did offer my previous theme as a native option in your profile settings, however the stylesheets must be updated so frequently due to Lemmy's early state of development that it was becoming impractical to do this reliably.
Thanks, I assumed it was official due to being made by dessalines. If it's just one of many side projects then I understand the separation.
It will need to be by donation and/or sponsorship, systems for which are currently in place for most of the larger instances.
My hope is to see academia, web hosts, and non-profits involved at some point too. I think the software is just too immature at this early stage to expect much in this regard. Once more advanced safeguards are in place (content filters, admin tools, etc.), it may become more viable from a liability perspective.
The instance admin has ultimate domain over all communities on their instance, regardless of where the mods hail from.
There's a few out there. Here's one: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.ca
Edit: And here's the Lemmy+Kbin platform combined: https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse

If ambient noise is a concern, I'd go with an SSD. If money is tight, an HDD will give you the best value.
My server is in an otherwise quiet home office/sitting room, so I went with an 8TB SSD (870 QVO). Spinning disks make a fair bit of noise just waking up, let alone the actual file operations.
