Anyone else listening to Hard Fork from NYT?

  • Vergecast

    I'm going to give them a listen. Thanks!

    • In over my head

  • Yes, the VM is Ubuntu 22.04.

    Edit: Replied out of context. Fixed.

    • In over my head

  • Good tip. Thanks!

    • In over my head

  • Now I feel dumb.

    That didn't work earlier.

    I just went to copy the error message I saw before and... it's working.

    Maybe because I switched back to Namecheap's nameserver? Or maybe because I cleared my cache again? Or maybe because I game it some more propagation time?

    Or maybe magic?

    Each potential reason seems equally likely to me.

    Thanks

  • Lemmy Easy Deploy. I didn't know where to find any tutorials for using an Oracle Cloud VM. Did the official have that?

    In over my head

    Today I decided to get an inexpensive custom domain from Namecheap and try self-hosting Lemmy. A few bucks later I was thinking, "Hey, this is going to be cake."

    I'd read some of the warnings about Oracle Cloud free tier, but figured I'd still give it a shot for hosting. I found a simple how-to for quickly getting an Ubuntu instance spun up with Docker and Portainer. A few minutes later I'm thinking, "This is so easy!"

    Then I try to access Portainer using HTTPS and see my first "Your connection is not private," warning. "No worries," I think. "Advanced>Proceed. I'm in."

    So I run Lemmy Easy Deploy. "The lights are green, the trap is clean! Boom. Here we go!"

    Nothing.

    Ports seem to be open on Oracle, but no Lemmy at either 80 or 443.

    "Maybe Lemmy is more particular about SSL certificates and s

    What file-sharing and media organizing software do you wish that existed?

  • readarr

    I thought it was ebooks-only. I didn't realize was for audiobooks also. Thanks!

    • What file-sharing and media organizing software do you wish that existed?

  • Something Overseer-like for requesting audiobooks for Plex.

    • What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?

  • There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

    Right now I'm using Liftoff.

    • Is there a major difference between Lemmy and Beehaw (or other federated instances)?

  • You might want to check out https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy. I stumbled upon it. Beehaw defederated Lemmy.world (info.) This section on defederating may help you understand that if it's unclear.

    Most of us are also new to the Fediverse, but learning every day. Welcome!

    • Wrote a Python script to sync your accounts across instances.

  • I'm getting a TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType' when I do: 

     undefined
        
git clone https://github.com/Ac5000/lemmy_account_sync.git
cd lemmy_account_sync/
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp exampleconfig.ini src/myconfig.ini
nano src/myconfig.ini
python3 src/lemmy_sync.py

    I've confirmed that my [Main Account] and [Account 2] details are correct in myconfig.ini, but beyond that I don't really know what I'm doing.

    Lots of AI news, which suits me.

    While UnderUnderstood feels more like the spiritual successor to Gimlet's Reply All, the co-hosts of Hard Fork (Kevin Roose and Casey Newton) banter in a way that reminds me of P. J. Vogt and Alex Goldman.

    What would cause a large swarm of wasps to fly through a neighborhood?

  • TIL wasps swarm, and now I have a new fear.

    According to this site wasps might swarm if their nest is disturbed, at a change of season, or to establish a new colony (like @[email protected] said.)

    • is there a simple way to determine who is federated with/defederated from who?

  • I've seen this site suggested in posts like this:

    I'm using the spoiler tag because elsewhere I've seen this warning about the site:

    run by people from kiwifarms (a known bad actor on the fediverse).

    I'm unfamiliar with "kiwifarms" but the site currently does has some offensive language at the bottom that's associated with 4chan, so be warned.

    That said, it appears to be the only site currently available to see which instances in the fediverse have blocked/defederated your instance. (The reverse of <instance domain>/instances, which only shows which instances your instance has blocked/defederated.)
