  • I need a new hobby, I'm going to set up my own Lemmy instance. Am I an idiot?

    Jump

  • So I'm discovering, heh. I got the instance up in a relatively short period of time, I'm spending far more time on email, domain, logging, backups, decisions, etc. I know I could just be a barebones "who cares about any of that" instance since it's largely gonna be my own personal playground, but where's the fun of that?

  • For the record the domain provider I selected masks my info at no extra charge.

  • Huh. I hadn't really thought too much about having to block that kind of traffic, I'll add that to the list to think about.

  • 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.

  • Yeah that's a future line item if I make it far enough, heh. It's under the "who to federate with" bullet point.

  • 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.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • If Happy Meals were availabe in The Federation, what toy would be included?

  • That different show is more Star Trek than several Star Trek shows.

  • At my local Mexican restaurant they had this sitting at the front to advertise it for St Patrick's Day. When I asked what it was the guy said "Um... it's green."

    Jump

  • I like how the green is slowly seeping into the lemon. Also I'm amused they went to the trouble to make a green drink... then didn't use a lime?
