Thank you!

Mechanical engineer here self-hosting my own Lemmy and Pixelfed instances in a Yunohost VM on an old Ubuntu box. It just feels better being my own admin.

I think Yunohost is great. It was easier for me to set up that trying to figure out Docker. I run a few sites including AdGuard Home as well as personal Pixelfed and Lemmy instances with it in a VM on an older Ubuntu box. That said, I’m stuck on Lemmy 0.18.2 without pict-rs because the update script to the latest version available on Yunohost (0.18.3 with pict-rs) is broken. Oh well!

Nuclear is the way!

How are the Dems going to top this?

Is this really still true about images federating in Lemmy? In any case, I think the problem can be avoided by disabling pict-rs.

How messed up are things in the UK if that’s something that makes you feel proud?

The greatest humiliation.

If any country (with exceptions) is behind on nuclear power, then the whole world is behind. Not good!

Yes, but that was in 2002, long after his term in office.

Barak Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate nine months after his inauguration. Subsequently, he used a drone to murder an American citizen, among a litany of other atrocities.

Jellyfin and Yunohost are two projects that have simplified self-hosting and made it accessible for me. I just think more progress can be made in that direction.

and yet, here we are, on lemmy.

As far as I can tell, you are not self-hosting the Divisions by Zero Lemmy instance, so I’m not sure what your point is there. I am actually self-hosting my lemmy.crimedad.work instance with the help of Yunohost.

you also need to remember that this is literally a turn key product, that literally every cloud provider sells

I am unaware of server products that I can just buy, plug in, and get up and running in minutes with my own ActivityPub instances, media storage/streaming, XMPP messaging, and etc. If they really exist, please share links.

There’s certainly value in doing this stuff the hard way, but the goal should be for self-hosting to be as easy as signing up with Google, Facebook, Spotify, etc. There aren’t enough people with the time and curiosity to figure out the current state of self-hosting and make a dent in the three website problem.

Lol I know what you mean. Maybe I am speaking more to the ideal of the home network printer than real life. My experience with them over the last twelve years or so hasn’t been as terrible as yours, but it hasn’t been perfect either.

Hopefully that path is mostly precluded if an open source project like Yunohost is used as a basis.

If self-hosting is going to become commonplace, then it needs to be easier than setting up a network printer. People should be able to just buy a computer (maybe a laptop for integral screen and UPS) preloaded with something like Yunohost, but with a sleek GUI. It has to have good wizards that walk you through everything including setting up a domain and email.

That is not true. I’m working on a hydrogen refueling project right now with a steel, ASME code storage vessel. I asked the manufacturer specifically and they confirmed that hydrogen embrittlement is not a concern and does not affect the lifetime of the vessel.

I’m not so concerned about the carbon footprint of battery manufacturing as I am with the broader externalities associated with the battery lifecycle. This article is a few years old, but it provides a relevant, sobering assessment of the problem. Hydrogen powered vehicles make sense now because they avoid that problem. They’re also a better choice for anyone whose driving needs would outpace overnight charging of a BEV at home (or anyone with a living situation that precludes it). The current policy of exclusively transitioning the fleet to BEVs is at best a kludge for bad energy policy.

I do not think the US or Israel actually have good intentions, but I doubt that the pier has anything to do with off-shore oil or gas exploitation. What purpose would it serve when the oil or gas could be brought to a fully developed port that already exists?

You’re not really describing a problem with hydrogen powered vehicles. You’re describing the problem with the way we’ve been trying to generate power free of greenhouse gas emissions. As long as the policy makers keep myopically insisting that we only do it with certain renewables, it doesn’t matter if battery electric vehicles are actually more efficient or not. So, on balance, the relative inefficiency of a hydrogen powered fleet is more than made up for by avoiding a massive stream of battery waste that everyone seems to be ignoring.
