Not all clients work without Internet though.

Or perhaps, the pro version for free, due to the sub we're in? Mobilism

Install as "English (World)" and all adverts and additional software is missed, as it doesn't know your region, therefore doesn't know what to serve.

If you need the Windows Store, you can change the region post install, and it'll remain clean and the store will then populate.

DietPi (based on Debian). Incredibly lightweight. Easy menu system for installing apps easily which it then maintains and updates for you, or you can easily install Docker if you prefer that (or both). Contains a backup system if you want to use that too.

It's too old to help with transcoding, I'm afraid, so probably won't aid your server in any way.

Wireguard needs kernel access so needs to run privileged.

It's likely designed to only use it, so you're probably SOOL. Try reinstalling the apk: https://m.apkpure.com/samsung-gallery/com.sec.android.gallery3d

Personally, I use JuiceSSH, but only because I SSH into different boxes and I can also telnet to localhost when need be..

I was reading that Lemmy.World has to restart its Lemmy instance every 30 minutes, else it runs out of RAM and falls on it's arse.... And a single instance won't use all the CPU threads correctly, so that have to run a few on the same server and load-balance them.

Let's hope those bugs can get ironed out!

I love how small the updates are - 1.5mb! And the whole app is just 26mb. Kudos!

True, but it's up to Tom if he wishes to be transparent about costs and/or donations received or not.

As I used to run a large server for a large community forum a few years ago - admin'ing something like this can sometimes be a very thankless task, and users will be sympathetic if you're out of pocket (and only some will help) but as soon as they see you made a tiny bit of profit one month, they forget the fact that actually, you're about £1k down at the moment, as this extra £62.32 I've made this mornth can go against that... ;-) Not to mention the free time given up to actually maintain and look after a busy server. So I'd totally understand if he didn't want others telling him what he might be doing wrong with his costs, etc. "Oh, well, you could save £4.20 if you moved the whole service to this little unknown company ... etc." :)

I'm also hoping as the code for Lemmy matures, it becomes less memory-hungry and more CPU-friendly. The more help they get on Github to make it truly scalable, the better.

Time will tell! I'm just thankful for what we have now.

 

Truly loving this instance, and UK servers are clearly helping with speed for both the website version and API calls from Connect for Lemmy.

Thanks @tom@feddit.uk - your work is greatly appreciated (buy him a coffee!) and I truly hope Lemmy takes off as the new MANY front pages of the Internet. 🙂
