  I probably think about the fact that dinosaurs probably tasted delicious more than I should.

  In that case, why self-host? A cloud-based solution would accomplish this very easily.

  Idk it doesn’t seem like there are any legal consequences for tech companies anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to set up a decentralized game/chat server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If avoiding downtime is your number one priority and you’re willing to take on a lot of complexity to achieve it, then Kubernetes is probably the way to go. There are various chat platforms that can be distributed, but keeping a game server state synced between nodes isn’t an easy task. There’s a reason most multiplayer games are instanced.

  I do find it a little odd that you’re so concerned about uptime with a casual gaming server, but to each their own.

  Right, that’s more accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not slop, this is political misinformation. Call it what it is.

  Slop is annoying, but it’s just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Managing memes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen this idea floated before a few times, and it’s a thought I’ve had before myself–some sort of self-hosted version of gify. AFAIK nothing exists as of writing, but I’ve seen this idea crop up enough times that maybe there’s a demand for this sort of thing.

  Personally, I just have a well-organized meme folder that I sync between my client devices with syncthing, but something a little more integrated and easier to search might be fun.

  This is probably more due to user data laws rather than ideological opposition, but I’ll take the win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, I don’t know about that either. While scale is their primary purpose, another core tenant of containerization is reproducibility. For example

  1. If you are developing any sort of software, containers are a great way to ensure that the environment of your builds remains consistent.
  2. If you are frequently rebuilding a server/application for any reason, containers provide a good way to ensure everything is configured exactly as it was before, and when used with Git, changes are easy to track. There are also other tools that excel at this (like Ansible).
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you host on more than one machine? Containerization / virtualization begins to shine most brightly when you need to scale / migrate across multiple servers. If you’re only running one server, I definitely see how bare metal is more straight-forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sep 12, 2025 - Self-Host Weekly by Ethan Sholly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plex isn’t perfect, but the open-source aspect of Jellyfin is holding the platform back. Fractured development across its third-party ecosystem prevents any clients from being as functional as apps like Plexamp while also creating hyper-focused support for popular platforms and leaving smaller platforms virtually unsupported.

  This is a strange take. Being open source doesn’t cause unfocused development and platform prioritization issues. Those both happen to proprietary software, especially the latter.

  These are more symptoms of it being a community project rather than developed by a company, but community FOSS projects can also be run very effectively. There are many examples of this.

  A lot of FOSS development is done by the people who use it. So I suspect as more people move away from Plex, a subset of those users will help contribute to the aspects of Jellyfin they care about.

  Jellyfin development is accelerating, while Plex’s enshittification is accelerating. The line is different for everyone, and one by one, I suspect Plex will cross them all.

  There have been so many cases of tech companies being caught lying about what data they collect/sell, the only way to be really sure is to never give them the data in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that if you used AI, you still haven’t done any writing.

  I don’t think you can definitely say that you wouldn’t have done it anyway. That’s speculative based on a theoretical situation.

  It’s possible you might have been moved to write if AI never existed, maybe not. But whatever you do write without AI is actually something you made, good or bad. LLM output isn’t.

  If you already know NFS and it works for you, why change it? As long as you’re keeping it between Linux machines on the LAN, I see nothing wrong with NFS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameVault - The Identity Update⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This project looks interesting, and this update does come with some significant improvements. However, I imagine on Lemmy you’ll find a pretty high percentage of Linux users, who won’t be able to use the client. Something like this with a Linux client that can integrate with Lutris to install games would be really cool.

  People angry that Superman represents kindness

  Do these “people” exist? Is it just one troll, or a significant enough of a population to even give the slightest bit of thought?

  Oh yeah, our house basically gave up on real milk once the alternatives got good. The shelf life alone was a huge driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the perspective that helped me the most with this:

  You don’t have to quit meat (sorry for the pun) cold turkey.

  Even cutting your meat consumption by half can have a significant impact. Start by ordering a vegetarian option instead of meat every once in a while. Experiment and find veggie alternatives you actually like, there are tons of options now. I heard someone refer to this as “microdosing veganism”, and it can really help make the change less exhausting.

  Over time, you might even notice your tastes start to shift and vegan options become actually enjoyable instead of a “sacrifice”.
