They took them out of my small town, mostly due to the company (I think it was Bird in our area) not picking them up for weeks on end.

I'm personally glad they're gone, too many douche canoes leaving them in the handicapped parking spots and on the walking trails. Finally had to lodge a complaint with the company when we found a bunch of them in front of the ER at my workplace...not like we have people who have mobility issues going in there or anything.

Yunohost is, to me anyways, a good stepping stone in learning the hosting side of things. You can have something up and running while you learn the rest.

I don't think you should feel bad about it, everyone needs some kind of "training wheels" or "guard rails" when they're first getting in to any hobby.

I think of it in terms of my other hobbies, would I have started off in electronics repair if I had to fix a modern motherboard for my first project? Maybe, but I would have struggled mightily. Instead I started doing simpler circuits and worked my way up while learning theory and technique.

No the one you asked, but I'm running pihole on a lenovo M93 (fedora server) with 8Gb of ram. No kill like overkill, I guess.

The only time any of the cpu cores pops above 1% is when I'm updating the config, and at the moment it is hovering at 293 MB of RAM used according to the free command.

It depends, on standard consumer units, it's just like putting a plastic ice cube tray into the freezer, once it's frozen the ice drops down a chute to break it into individual cubes.

For commercial versions (where more volume is needed), they will build up layers by misting a low temp tray with water. That way it has less mass to bring down to the freezing point at a time.

Right now, AFAIK, the only way would be to put in a request with @ernest in a pm. Since he is the admin of the instance he can set up new moderation, but he's been working his tail off on developing the platform so it could be a while.

Since this is a early beta software most of those types of tools haven't been made yet.

That hasn't been functioning for me, I've had to go to each magazine individually to block them.

If I click the button on the instance it doesn't do anything, I still see the posts in my feed. I've tried on a few of the non-english instances (since I don't know other languages).

The only thing I think you may have gotten mixed up here is that CentOS or other clone distros didn't remove the branding. Red Hat did that themselves in thier repositories that were used in the clones.

If I'm remembering correctly, in the very early days of Centos and the like, that was the deal that Red Hat had struck...you don't use our trademarks/branding and you can have access to all of our source. Most likely so that Red Hat wouldn't get endless support tickets without pay if something went wrong on a clone package.

The rest of this seems pretty spot on.

There's another post about this that has a codeberg issue placed.

Do you have some sort of playlist/media downloading add-on enabled on Firefox? Because that is what the extension listed is for.

I'm using Firefox as well and don't get that, the next thing I would look at is a possible malware infection.

Edit: changed extension to add-on. I've got chrome on the brain at the moment.

If you type https://kbin.social/d/insert domain here then (on kbin) scroll down you should see the same buttons that you see for users and magazines including a block button.

Usually I'll just change the m in the url to d then delete upto the domain name.

I use Opensuse on my stuff too. I do bare metal though, because I'm old and this newfangled docker stuff frightens and confuses me.

Personally, I use a "scratch built" machine to act as a file server/media server. Someone was going to recycle it at the office, so I added some hard drives and put it in a larger case.

It really comes down to two things in my mind: what can you afford and how deep do you want to follow the rabbit hole?

If you want something quick and easy, sure go for the premade. Nothing wrong with that.

If you want to use it as a learning tool, and add other services, then I think a home spun server is the way to go.

Just my 2 cents.
