Interesting. And yeah I’m aware of the federation issue, I was gonna use that to my advantage in terms of my plans to slow roll who to federate to to keep my bandwidth and storage allowances under control. I also know there is a script you can set up which will handle the initial contact to federate automatically.
I get it, but the whole point of this is for me to utilize hardware I already have. If I get to a point where it’s not working out I can always go that route but I want to learn on my local machine and I can always switch later.
Not complete randos, but yeah it’ll likely be a very minimal group of people if at all. And I’m not looking forward to modding so I doubt I’ll go the route if having a lot of comms in my instance, but we’ll see what happens.
Well in general I know I’m an idiot, so for the moment I’ll just stick with Lemmy instance feedback cause that’s at least easier for me to address without expensive therapy.
Good to know, I’ll take a look at those. Thanks!
32gb, not unlimited but good enough that I am willing to proceed, then limit bandwidth usage through restrictive federation.
Sure I am, but depending on how much of my free time goes into this we’ll see if it stays that way…
One of my earlier deployment plans had me using Ansible, then a bot aided revision had me remove it since I’m doing a single machine install and a fairly straightforward process. From my understanding I’ll get a better learning experience not using it so I figured that was better.
You sound like my wife.
Good point, that was purely a vanity issue: I have a specific name I want for my instance, and I wanted it to be as short a URL as possible so I was willing to spring for the domain. I’m not saying I’m doing all this just for the pun I have in mind, but I did spend far too long on that step of my deployment plan.
If at some point in the near future you step outside and hear a weird screaming sound echoing around the globe, that’s me.
Good question, mostly just cause I use Lemmy so wanted to stick with what I know more of at this point.
This reminds me of the case study about Target sending ads to people their data analytics model identified as likely being pregnant. The father of a teenager was so angry they send her the ad he raised hell at a local store. Thing is, they were right.
I was thinking evil more in terms of the system that allows people to be rich and lazy in that manner, then they grow as a family over the course of the show until they are definitely good, but still definitely chaotic.
I’d argue it switches over time from lawful evil to chaotic good.
Me too, but I’m slightly scared at the same time…
For the record the domain provider I selected masks my info at no extra charge.
