US tech wages are just nuts. In the UK I’m basically maxed out for a non-London based software dev at about £70k ($87k). Meanwhile I have a friend who has managed to land a job with a London based US tech firm on about £120k ($150k) which is massive for here but reading this is still a long way off what is possible.
A few months ago I went on a quest for a DNS server and was dissatisfied with current maintained projects. They were either good at adblocking (Blocky, grimd…) or good at specifying custom DNS (CoreDNS…)....
Mastodon doesn’t just use storage for local image uploads. It pulls, thumbnails and saves images from any incoming posts, including the thumbnails you might see on website links (pulled from the opengraph data most websites implement)
It’s possible to set a pretty short timeout for that data though.
While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.
I enjoy low priced games as much as the next person but I’m inclined to agree. At least a little.
In terms of currency per hour some games are outright bargains when you compare to a cinema trip and yet the triple A’s cost more to produce than your average film.
I recently found a box in storage that contains about 10 Philips Hue bulbs; I had completely forgotten that I used them in the past. At the time, I had them paired to a Hue bridge. The newest is probably at least 6 years old, maybe a bit more....
Yeah, a standard hue remote lets you do it. I can’t remember the exact thing but it’s something as simple as holding the remote next to the bulb with a button pressed when you turn the light on.
Why, when I search for a community my instance is not yet aware of, does it sometimes not bring back any posts in that community? This community is in example of that....
Yeah. I looks like the beehaw thing has resolved itself. I don’t know why it was just them but I have been able to subscibe since yesterday. I’m guessing that this is an issue with the source instance rather than the requesting instance - maybe it’s not sending out an accept activity like it should.
I’m still seeing the lack of content in newly searched communities though. sh.itjust.works/c/plugins for instance just refuses to come back with anything.
I don’t think that’s true. Searching for a community typically brings back a fully populated page. None of the posts have comments or up/down votes, but they’re all there.
I’d say in maybe 20% of cases though it comes back empty.
If you search for a community first time, 20 posts are fetched initially. Only if a least one user on your instance subscribes to the remote community, will the community send updates to your instance.
The point is I’m not getting 20 posts. I get nothing. I can subscribe and then get posts from that point forward as I’d expect.
Yeah, sadly not working on communities that exhibit this issue. This one (!lemmy_admin) is one. I have two posts showing on my instance, this one and another that seems to have been updated recently.
If I search for lemmy.ml/post/6417868 using my instances search I get no results found. The error in the logs is

I looked into Proxmox briefly but then figured that since 99% of my workload was going to be docker containers and I’d need just a single VM for them it made no sense to run it.
So that’s what I did. Ubuntu + Portainer and a shed load of stacks.
