The „you have to like people“ part took me nearly 20 years to figure out. I hate people in general with possible remedy for people who are nice. I‘m exceptional at managing people, I just dont vibe with them. This leads to absurd situations where everyone is happy, professionally but folks just hate my guts.

So, I now work alone and am happy with it. :)

Thank you very much! This tool is great indeed!

It doesnt sound dumb. Maybe its just not for you.

I play minetest online and some folks I chat with, some I dont. Its a private server so peeps dont bother others.

Big chat servers like on discord bore me because its mostly just trashtalk. Either lemmy or matrix, both are fine.

Hit me up if you wanna discuss it. Have a good one.

I solved it with help. My fail2ban filters were too strict.

I really enjoyed reading your comment. You and share a ton of similarities in views and other things. Feel free to hit me up on matrix (link in profile). Have a good one.

quick fyi: rare cars seem like a pretty easy way to dox someone. Be careful of any data you share online.

i believe you. But its not only about installlation.

Although NC is great for the right usecase. If file storage is the usecase, NC is massive overkill.

Awesome Selfhosted has software for every usecase: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

I‘d say I‘m honest and loyal, not particularly nice. To me nice means diplomatic, charismatic and with low temper.

Yeah, no. Your tone and comment history already tells me enough. Have fun on my block list. Good bye.

From practical example:

I defederated one instance. Before, I saw content of them, now I dont. I dont know if they can see my content but I dont think they do.

Obviously a sample size of one is not evidence but more of a hint at what might happen.

You can always ask the folks on .ml for they make the software.

Great! Glad it worked out for you. The second time I deployed lemmy on a production machine it was markedly easier because I have a known working compose and lemmy.hjson file so thats one part. I think the first install/config took me days of tinkering.

At the moment, I cant see if I‘ll havre the time to ever make a cone click install script but I‘ll think about it.

Good luck with your instance.

Lemmy, although in a very well working state, isnt really deploy ready. The update procedure is a mess, the documentation is less than stellar and accessibility/onboarding for wannabe admins is rough to say the least.

You can find a compose file on github and you will need to make a config file for the instance with your domain and all on it.

A one click install sure is doable but most people who are able to do this quickly are very busy or wont do it for free.

I‘m self employed in IT and host a couple services for people. Small, local business.

My experience so far is that few outside of IT understand why big tech isnt a viable option and even fewer are willing to accept that imperfection when it comes to services that have a proprietary option.

Obviously its pretty early in the game so I guess this will get better and I‘m also not complaining, just stating that peeps need more time and education on this matter.

I‘m attempting to do exactly that for my local community atm. Most people are still reluctant though.

I agree on principle but paying someone would do wonders for the state of self hosting - assuming that the people paid would foward parts to the software devs and help improve the software since they can afford to spend time with the software. Second point is that attempting self hosting only makes sense if someone is actually willing to learn and put time in.

I would not suggest the „average person“ who statistically can only install with „click through“ and extensive description and may require a hotline if things go south to selfhost anything.

Ideally, they should pay a friend or a local small business for hosting for them.

If a person is able to constructively work through bugs and make bug reports and read a lot, yes, they could attempt selfhosting imo. But they should be aware that it is going to be work and its not going to go smooth 100% of the time.

I‘m using searx.be most of the time. Safari wont allow it so I got confronted with ddg being down today. Still only use google if something is unfindable (mostly niche computer stuff).

Okay cool! Did you explain why you only posted the link?

There would be quite a lot of possible places. Maybe hardware? I‘d check if and where you find similar works and post it there.
