I’d be too scared to pee standing up…

Macapps and formula1. Macapps so far has only commuted to the 48 hours, although I’d like to see them stay dark longer. Unsure off the top of my head about formula1, although they do have a discord channel that I’ve jumped on, but won’t be the same. Like jumping in the F1 subreddit around race weekends.
I was going to say this. Realistically they probably need multiple servers to allow failing over and rolling updates if we want 24/7 uptime, and that seems well beyond the scope of this right now.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Hope someone either adopts that or just goes to the effort to update their apps. Suspect we’ll hear from a dev or two over the next week or two as they monitor the ongoing situation and make decisions about where they want to go moving forward.
I guess for context for anyone reading this, but after this post it looks like Ruud doubled RAM and CPU to 32 and 8 respectively.
It’s promising, but I miss having Apollo (or similar) as my interface for the service. I very rarely used Reddit via a browser so not having that robust app is a loss. We’ll see if any of the app developers that have been impacted by Reddits API changes look to support the platform.
Started using Mastodon this year and it was conveniently at the time Ivory, Ice Cubes and Mona were all in the process of shipping beta or final releases. It made the whole experience much more seamless. Mastodon benefited from 6 months of prior unrest in the Twitter community and Devs were already transitioning when Twitter pulled the rug out under them. I think Lemmy will be a harder transition in that respect.
Keen to see how it develops but.
Edit: also interested to see how the decentralised nature of it all plays out for this sort of service which focuses on communities. For Mastodon it seems fine to follow people on other services where it’s still a 1:1 interaction. I’m sort of curious to see how things will scale and play out when you have a dozen different Lemmy services all with their own “Apple”, “music”, “tech” communities. Bit concerned things may get spread a bit thin at the conversation level, even accounting for the fact accounts can cross post.
That’d be my go to option probably if I wanted to move off my Pi's. Locally something like a HP EliteDesk 800 G2 (ex business) on deal sites are not much more than a Raspberry Pi, especially the past 24 months where supply of Pis has been hit hard. Those small form factor PC’s probably come with an SSD also which I’d take over an SD card for ruggedness any day, and if you had to buy one and a caddy because you don’t have any spare, the Pi is possibly costing more than the Intel PC at that point. More ports (and more convenient display output if you need it) etc too.
As you say, power consumptions the one thing to keep an eye out for I’d say, but those systems are relatively efficient.
Figured I’d just pass along a quick “hello” as someone that just jumped on tonight. Keen to see how the service develops and grows. Hope Lemmy in general takes off in time! Certainly early days (nabbing my first name as a user name is always a sign of that!), but there’s great potential.
That looks amazing
