Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know it existed.

I screencapped this because I can’t trust the internet to have it when I want to come back and laugh at it again.

I know enough to be dangerous. I know enough to follow faqs but dumb enough to not backup like I should.

So I’d be running my server on bare metal and have a couple services going and sooner or later, shit would get borked. Shit that was miles past my competence to fix. Sometimes I’d set up a DB wrong, or break it, or an update would screw it up, and then it would all fall apart and I’m there cursing and wiping and starting all over.

Docker fixes that completely. It’s not perfect, but it has drastically lowered my time working on my server.

My server used to be a hobby that I loved dumping hours into. Now, I just want shit to work.

Absolutely.

I used to use a self hosted nitter for FreshRSS too. I gave up completely. I pruned all the Xitter feeds and looked for other sources.

FreshRSS is great. Container is easy to run.

For years, I had an unstable unraid server. I was fixing it every couple of days after a lockup. I had decided that unraid sucked. When it was up for a week I celebrated. Every one of my dockers was a suspect. I learned to hate all of them.

Then I shitcanned the next cloud docker.

Been up for months without a hiccup.

They just implemented search and you have to opt in. There’s a value system in place that may change over time (many things do!), but that ain’t happening any time soon. It took a huge push to even allow search.

That’s right, there is no single vision. That’s why there’s so many different front ends. I currently pay $5/month to 4 different ones cause I like where they’re going. Which do you support?

So obviously we’re talking about it and you want one and there isn’t one. Why do you think that is? Do you think that maybe projects and protocols “speak” direction by the implementation? Do you think that the fact there’s a bunch of front ends and apps for Lemmy and Mastodon and all the rest and NONE of them have this feature might be a clue that the fediverse is trying to tell you something?

No, I mean, I guess “the fediverse” didn’t come right out and say it to me, but I guess I can read between the lines.

But I’m super excited to see your investment in what you want! Post back here with what you come up with.

Then you should make that!

An algo requires analyzing user data, which is exactly what the fediverse doesn’t want. There are front ends that surface popular Mastodon posts, but that’s about it and that’s how they like it.

Same here. Gave up and went fastmail. Love em.

We moved from Houston to Seattle and we adore all the seasons here. Spring comes just as the winter feels like its dragging on. First the daffodils, then the tulips, then cherry blossoms explode! Then its summer and camping every weekend and Rainier and North Cascades and just go go go the entire time. Then fall comes and I fall over from exhaustion. Its time to put in the order for tea for the winter and catch up on all the shows we missed and all the board games we haven’t been playing and just relaxing. Just when I’m tiring of the cold and the wet, the first daffodils pop up and we do it all over again.

Been with Fastmail for a year. Love their integration with 1password. Nobody gets my real email address. Even my 6th grader knows how to obfuscate email now. Too easy.

You’re right. I got that wrong. I thought it was the same people. Good call.

I’ve used Digical for awhile and like it. Paid version is $5, goes on sale for cheaper sometimes.
