  Roughly 10 million, I would consider 1/3 he users very significant for a FOSS alternative.

  Shame / embarrassment is an extremely powerful teacher, for better or worse.

  The current theory is that shame evolved in humans as a survival mechanism to keep humans in groups. Shame is our brain’s corrective tool to avoid behavior that would ostracize us from a social group. If an early human were outcast by their tribe, their chances of survival or reproduction plummeted.

  If you’re going to make a lewd ad about finding nuts, having his face stuffed between a man’s legs makes way more sense imo.

  If you’d like to run them on the same Ubuntu VM, I’d recommend deploying them using docker, as that will make avoiding port conflicts much easier as well as keeping each application isolated.

  You should also look into a reverse proxy so you can reroute traffic from your desired subdomain to non-standard ports (otherwise you’ll need to specify ports in the URL which gets wired). I recommend Nginx Proxy Manager which can also run in docker.

  You could spin up another VM for Lemmy if resources get tight and you don’t mind the extra cost.

  For internal desktop drives, I have the WH16NS40. After flashing some open firmware on it, it works perfectly for playing and ripping BRs. Looks like I’ll be picking up a spare in case this one dies.

  The MakeMKV forum has a lot of good tips and instructions on selecting and configuring BluRay drives.

  I’d have no issue with digital media if there was a way to actually own it. Everything is either streaming only or ridden with DRM that can only be played within their app. Blurays, assuming you can decrypt its DRM bs, are the last bastion of media ownership left.

  Just started Celeste. It’s hard because I suck at platformers but I love the music + art so much.
