I think using container instead of VM should be better for maximizing resource utilization in a raspberry pi. Instead of partitioning your tiny 8gb RAM into 3-4 VMs with even tinier RAM each, you can run a dozen of containers and probably still have some free RAM.

Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.

At least for Lemmy, you can "force" it to sync a particular post or comment by pasting the url into your instance's search bar.

I always look for excuses to get more servers, so if you ask me, I'd say yes, get that new server. There's no such thing as having too much servers since there are so many things I want to self-host.

I also regularly tear down my servers and see how fast I can set it up again. Keep my deployment scripts up to date.

It has happened before with the .ly domains about a year before the US invasion of Libya. Tech companies were scrambling to find a solution back then. Presumably they struck a backroom deal with the Syrian government.

  • A company somehow secured a contract with Mali government to manage .ml TLD
  • Said company then offer free .ml domain registration, with a catch (the domain is not actually yours). They also sell the domain and if you pay for it, the domain will be really yours contractually.
  • The contract between the company and Mali government came to an end, and the control of .ml TLD has been transferred back to Mali government
  • Mali government decided they want all those free domains back and did just that. Those domains will likely available for sale again later on.
  • why Lemmy.ml is not affected? I'm not sure. Does Lemmy.ml use the free domain service, or actually paid for the domain? Or does it survive simply because it has absurdly long TTL on it's DNS entries?

photopea.com is actually pretty great, much easier to use than gimp with similar (or even better) feature set.

Heck, I haven't been able to get a comment deleted in ALL instances so far. Instances that don't directly federate with my instance doesn't seem to process deletion reliably.

Interestingly, edits seem to propagate more reliably. So if you want to make sure your comment deleted, just edit it to replace the content before actually deleting them.

Storing time series data in ram so you can instantly generate pretty graph of various metrics is all the rage right now. The longer you want to keep the the data, the bigger the ram requirements. You might be wondering, why not storing the data on SSD? The answer is the bosses love pretty charts that loads INSTANTLY. The fact the the metrics database uses 200GB of RAM is not their concern.

You can enable it from settings -> remote control in SmartTube app. Also, if you're using YouTube revanced, the cast button might be hidden because it was not functional. You can re-enable the cast button on YouTube revanced from revanced settings.

When casting a video, you'll have to open the SmartTube app in your Android TV first because it's not automatically launched when you hit the cast button in YouTube revanced. If it's in the background or not yet running, the video won't play.

Even worse, the free .ml domain is not actually yours when you get it for free, but actually owned by the company that previously managed the .ml domain. I suspect Mali government has reclaimed all those free domain registrations now that the contract with the company has been expired. The .ml domains that still up was probably paid domain and Mali government are probably still honoring the contract.

The problem is with the federation. Other instances will try to federate with the old domain and won't recognize the new domain. Simply changing your domain will not update federation in other instances. AFAIK work is still underway to allow migrating to a new domain and allow other instance to recognize the domain change.
