You should try a brew with roasted pinto beans and do a review for us.

As a temp workaround, add the following css in stylus or stylbot for kbin.social to hide random posts and threads

section.posts.section {
display: none;
}

section.entries.section {
display: none;
}

and my favorite (makes screen wider) -
.kbin-container { max-width: 90%; }

Lemmy self-hosters. What is your image cleanup process?

I'm self-hosting the docker containers and I noticed the pictrs directory is steadily growing because of the cached images. Does anyone know if it gets cleaned up automatically or are hosters running scripts to clean it up after a certain amount of time? The install guides make no mention of it from what I can find.

I though instances only cached the text of submissions? I could see that ballooning to be insane pretty quick if the fediverse really takes off.

Obvious that this is automated and will be going out to all subs. They definitely wouldn't go to bat to keep a piracy sub open, unless they're even dumber than I thought.

maybe things will (should?) get exciting over on /r/piracy

There was a guy calling Ernest (kbin dev) a fascist earlier because his avatar is a screenshot of monty python with a guy holding a gun.

Considering that lemmy.ml deletes ap news or bbc articles for being "orientalism." Up until recently there hasn't been a server for anyone right of Mao.

They've probably gotten more clicks from this thread than they have in their entire existence.

Here's a start. The people who run lemmy.ml and lemmygrad are pro-genocide tankies, that think any critisism of the ccp is orientalism. He's bad enough he was banned from r/socialism

edit: he's also head dev of lemmy

What's your "base" stack of choice?

How do you set up a server? Do you do any automation or do you just open up an SSH session and YOLO? Any containers? Is docker-compose enough for you or are you one of those unicorns who had no issues whatsoever with rootless Podman? Do you use any premade scripts or do you hand craft it all? What distro are you building on top...

I used to do the same, but nowadays I just run everything in docker, within a single lxc container on proxmox. Having to setup mono or similar every time I wanted to setup a game server or even jellyfin was annoying.

just make sure you get something with intel or amd cpu. some very old thin clients used via.

OC Kbin instances seem more isolated from each other than from Lemmy instances

EDIT: Sorry I did not make this clear. I am not presenting this as a techincal problem for admins to solve, but as a community problem. The kbin.social community as the larger instance is not seeking out communities from the smaller instances....

Fedia.io is fully defederated from everything. You shouldn't have any problems with smaller kbin instances that are federating.

Can Lemmy & Kbin interface with eachother?

Hey everyone. I'm new to all this - as are most people I realize - but I've been really enjoying Lemmy so far. I'm subscribed to alternatives here of subreddits I frequented on Reddit and been participating in discussions and engaging with the communities as well. Overall, it's been good!...

arkcom,

If you were the first person to subscribe, only posts made since then will show up. You can make new posts, though.

Your Disneyland post is showing up - https://kbin.social/m/Disneyland/newest

arkcom,

It should federate with all instances. I've heard of a lemmy bug around pending subscriptions, but I don't remember if it was kbin specific.

Also strange, I cannot see mbryson's replies in this thread despite getting notifications and the comment counter going up.

Yubikey is a good option. It supports totp for sites that don't support physical keys.

Can I follow a kbin magazine from Lemmy?

My apologies for the probably stupid question, I’m still trying to get a grip on the interoperability between services in the Fediverse. I have both a kbin and a Lemmy account, still checking which fits me the best. If I’m on one of them, can I follow a magazine when being on Lemmy, or the opposite?...

arkcom,

Searching seems strange, but you can use the full kbin url. If its a magazine lemmy.world already knows about you can just type it direcly after the c/. ie - https://lemmy.world/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social . They are case sensitive unlike lemmy.

These are from 2 different fediverse instances lemmy.ml and beehaw.org, I think. Just like seeing the same thing posted to multiple subreddits.

Raspberry Pi alternatives for headless self hosted applications

Since rpis have been almost impossible to find, I've been looking around for alternatives for some local self hosted services like home assistant. A lot of boards seem to talk about GPU, GPIO pins, etc. But I really just want a single board, fanless (low power), decent CPU and RAM, ethernet....

hp t530 or dell wyse 3040 or 5070 thin clients

There's a new orange pi5 with dual 2.5gb ethernet. Looks pretty nice.

I just re-read the article and it actually says your domain will be owned by squarespace. I hope not.

and your domain will be owned and, after a transition period, managed by Squarespace.
