A few versions ago I upgraded it and some default port configs changed rendering it unusable. Since my upgrades are a docker command, I had to go hunt down the error message. It didn’t take long, but it def broke the setup.

Sad that you’re downvoted for being right.

Java apps can be memory hogs, but anything else can be too. The jvm is exceptionally performant for persistently running apps.

Time to stop using Google

Ubuntu 24.04LTS reporting in!

You might mention the library license of the underlying library, it’s strictly non commercial meaning yours is too.

Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that’s not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different “classes” of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren’t renewing… Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!

There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop “fixed that” for you, but the dirty secret is it’s basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.

If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they’d submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don’t work with Linux.

I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.

Not in any order of magnitude

I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:

Sure, I’ll just travel to places to verify the source every time when I consume news. That’s reasonable!

I wanted to downvote, but then I read it. While I don’t accept the premise entirely, I think the points are very well made and thought out well (even if taken to the extreme).

I couldn’t get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the “no catch all” feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.

I’m over on programming.dev – I really like the idea of servers and thus the sub /c’s being centered around topics of interest. I think there’s going to be a lot of “generic” lemmy servers still, but I sort of liked how “places” sort of picked lemmy.world, for example (though that’s starting to fade with lemmy.world becoming more popular).

This and the rotate phone “loses all context” bugs are frustrating. I’m excited to see these things get fixed soon.
