  • Is there a guide to hosting Lemmy on an ARM64 machine?
  • Thanks, I'll check that out if my from-scratch attempt fails. I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy.

  • Is there a guide to hosting Lemmy on an ARM64 machine?
  • I've just started a new instance on Oracle Cloud given how good the free tier is.

    I'm maxed out on everything free: 4 CPU cores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB storage.

    Do you have any idea what the implications are of changing the block volume performance up from the default balanced to higher performance or UHP? All I can find on pricing is here: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/storage/pricing/

    But it doesn't mention anything about free tier eligibility.

  • Australia issues Elon Musks Twitter with a please explain notice over surge in online hate
  • I don't think they're going to get much by way of a response.

    Maybe this will lead to the government blocking Twitter, probably through something incredibly easy to bypass like DNS.

  • Is there a guide to hosting Lemmy on an ARM64 machine?
  • I might try building from scratch again and running pict-rs in a docker container.

  • Is there a guide to hosting Lemmy on an ARM64 machine?
  • That does sound incredibly good for free.

    Did you have any issues with pict-rs? Is it indeed included within the lemmy-server binary?

  • Can we organize AMAs to help Lemmy/Kbin grow?
  • It's a good idea.

    Do we have a more active AMA community? All I can find is this:

    https://lemmy.world/c/ama

    Of course, for people like mods and developers, you could quite easily reach out directly. The Apollo dev is on Mastodon, the Reddit mods probably responds to reddit DMs.

    As for actual celebrities, you'd have to get their attention somehow. They have publicists whose job it is is to filter out the people who want to talk to them.

  • Is there a guide to hosting Lemmy on an ARM64 machine?

    I'm interested in running Lemmy on an ARM64 host, mostly just for fun and because it's possible.

    I've tried a couple of things without getting it right yet:

    Building from scratch on Ubuntu 20.04 This went quite well but I was unable to get pict-rs working, so there was no image hosting. I followed this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html I had to build imagemagick to get the ARM64 binary, however pict-rs did not run. Is it correct that it's included with the lemmy-server binary or am I understanding how it works wrong?

    Using Docker images I was able to get Lemmy up and running using 0.17.3 ARM64 docker images (unfortunately 0.17.4 images don't exist yet). I set up an nginx reverse proxy on the host and was able to access the instance OK, however there was no connectivity between my instance and external sites. Looking in the logs I saw timeout errors:

    lemmy_1 | LemmyError { message: None, inner: Request error: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out lemmy_1 | lemmy_1 | Caused by: lemmy_1 | 0: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out

    So I was wondering if anybody had a guide out there to hosting Lemmy (preferably 0.17.4) on an ARM64 host, either by building it from scratch or by using Docker images. Or any other method really.

    Uhhhh, What the fuck is happening at /mildlyinteresting???
  • I’m hoping people will leave when their favourite app no longer works on July 1. Maybe some of the app developers will move over to Lemmy.

  • Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
  • I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

  • Game Pass loses another six Xbox games in June, including Road 96
  • Any good ones there? I can't say I've played any of though, although I was interested in checking out Empire of Sin because it was made by John Romero.

  • Having trouble deploying Lemmy? Try my new script! Get up and running in minutes!
  • thanks, it looks good. The biggest plus it that it doesn’t rely on a Debian based system.

  • Is Kbin lemmy? I’m so confused!
  • Your instance becomes aware of the existence of another instance when just one user subscribes to a community there. From then on it will appear in all.

  • Having trouble deploying Lemmy? Try my new script! Get up and running in minutes!
  • Is this easier than the Ansible deployment? That was very straight forward if you’re running a system with apt.

  • Lemmy reached a user base of 150,000
  • You can do this in Lemmy, default the Home Screen to Subscribed. It’s an option for each user, but the instance admin can choose a default. I’m not sure about Kbin.

  • The new Lemmy.world logo

    I can see it's the Lemmy logo with a big LW over the top of it and coloured like the Earth. But it kind of looks like a strange, colourful fly.

    Is this logo here to stay forever? I was quite fond of the simple globe that we had before.
