Atalocke

I think this is pretty cool.

Hey everyone,

I'm Atalocke, the quiet admin and owner of basedcount.com and this Lemmy instance. In regards to the recent incident, I've made the executive decision to change some site rules and update our Terms of Service (TOS).

These changes shouldn't really affect you, or how you use our services. They're more about protecting us from liability. The Based Count team is small, decentralized, and international. It's only a handful of developers all working for free in their spare time. We're no company, or even an official organization. These changes will allow us to better serve you, and expand how we can build communities together.

Our TOS now also encompasses our former rules. We still do not allow any content that is not legal in the United States. And, we're now also requiring all communities to have rules. These can be anything, as long as they do not break site rules or the Terms of Service. This means that if you're running an anarchy community you must create rules specifying that your community follows site rules and the TOS.

If you have any questions or concerns about rules, terms, or if you spot a violation, please feel free to message me anytime. For all other concerns, please contact Nerd02, as he is site manager, and is responsible for day-to-day operations of this instance.

We appreciate you guys, and want to keep this community available for as long as possible. Thank you for your patience the past few days and for persisting through the coming week.

Soon, I'll need to increase the storage capacity of my Lemmy server. I use a Digital Ocean VPS running Debian 11. I don't really need to increase the RAM, CPU, or other core system resources so I planning on adding some block storage to my VPS. My question is: How can I tell Lemmy/Pict-rs to store/retrieve new data here without losing my existing data?

Assume the volume will be positioned on /mnt/vol-1.

Thanks in advance!
