I concur.

Lemmy isn’t much better in that regard.

Usenet here. 4 paid indexers and the Usenet sub. Still cost less in a year than cable or streaming services cost in a month. Get everything I want and look for easily.

Check your settings for https://jemmy.jeena.net/admin. Is Private instance checked? (Probably shouldn’t be). IS federation enabled checked (It should be) Anything listed in allowed instances? What about blocked instances? Languages should have everything listed, including Undetermined.

Hi Jeena! What instances are on your federation lists for jemmy.jeena.net? What “languages” are selected for the federation/your profile? There’s a few active instances at this time, but does depend on if you’re subscribed to them, and the languages they send (and your instance accepts).

Amazing list, thanks for sharing.

Seconded. Weechat and Gomuks for matrix chat.

An OS can be restored. Backup your data, so /home for sure and maybe any custom configs for /etc, like your wireguard configs. So anything you specifically edited/added for /etc directory.

Always has been…

Btop is pretty. Htop tells me what I want to know. I prefer htop and it’s my goto.

Nothing that can stream directly to YouTube that I know of. But a good free solution for personal low usage is whereby.

Well maybe I joined the wrong room; I’m still in the one above, but there are no channels and no activity. Thanks though, I’ll give it another look. EDIT: Yeah, I left and rejoined and all I see going back for weeks is leave/join messages for other user, no discussion. Weird

I joined the listed Matrix chat for sublinks to discuss and learn more about the platform; but it seems entirely dead. Is there another reasonable platform for discussion and beta testing/installation?

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I feel the same way about Lemmy software, instances, and the Fediverse as a whole. Appreciate your post and efforts.

Can you be more specific. Alternatives for what? One time list or would you want and expect it to be constantly updated? By whom?

This list and many others like it, may be what you’re looking for.

All I’m saying is that aur has more stuff.

Sure, but that does not equate to the premise you made that Arch is easier to use than Debian.

Well it is a hypervisor like ESXI, so same concept. Running one vm would be simple, but yes; overkill. It is not the same level of virtualzation that Virtualbox is. For that, you could look into using Virt-manager if using a Linux based host.

Proxmox will do 90% of everything you need, coming from VMWare/EsXi. It can import and read your existing vmdks.

There’s a lot more going on with restic aside from just that, but yes. So with an rsync of your home dir (for example), it’s reliant on the FS to do compression and deduplication (ZFS,btrs), and/or it will still take up a lot of wasted space. Say you got ransom-wared. It’s okay you have that rsync backup, but oh crap it got ransom-wared to. No more backups to try? Restic gives you snapshots for whatever increment you set and just handles it simply. You can then restore one file from any of the snaphots (history) or every single file. Restoreing 250kb vs 400TB is quite a difference. The benefits of this, are huge even beyond the fire and forget capability.

I mean, rsync handling everything via mirroring and pushed to a ZFS FS, would be sort of the same thing.

Because that serve different purposes. rsync is for moving data around, synchronization of such. It has no concept of point in time restoration, or snapshots (etc) that really define a backup solution. I use restic because its the proper tool for the job.
