Sorry! I really didn’t mean for that to come off as rude as it sounded. I just meant, worst case scenario, if the server ends being a massive pain to manage/fund then you shouldn’t feel obligated to keep it up. I wonder if the lemmy community has something similar to the mastodon admin discord group where you could maybe compare notes with other admins about storage/config issues.

Seems really excessive. The lemmy.zip admin does regular server performance posts and they’re only sitting at ~140gb despite being much larger and image heavy. See HERE

No offense, but it’s not very active here. I don’t think anyone is going to take it personally if you have to pull the plug. The two largest communities can be recreated on a larger server(if they don’t exist already). That’s up to you chief, no judgement here.

My mom bringing home a grocery bag full of dinosaurs toys from a yardsale. I had to be like 4.

We have the same experience then XD

In my experience, the learning curve felt similar to Dwarf Fortress.

For starters, there’s the Guidebook and the Wiki.

You probably also want to keep a Keyboard Reference handy.

This guy has a full run you can watch,(or not, that’s LOOONG)

For me, I think it was just a combination of watching people play and banging my head against it until things start to sort of make sense. Kind of like dwarf fortress lol.

Firefox and Nethack

PopOS

I like to crawl up stairs on all 4s when no-one is home.

The department head was an absolute bag of dicks. This guy was so bad, you would think that he was doing a bit or something. He would use company resources for his side projects and would constantly try and get us to work on one of his dipshit app ideas. He would find any excuse to travel to remote sites so he could cheat on his wife with the local sex workers, and worse, would drag us around with him as his entourage or some shit. He would stand behind us and watch us while we worked. Every few days he would partially read an article espousing some new technology and then give us shit for not using it.

We generally learned to work around his shenanigans and even got pretty successful at self managing and knocking out projects, but after a while he decided to show us all who’s boss and siloed us completely. The whole team left within a month of each other.

On a side note, to this day, the lead dev from that team is my absolute biggest hero. That dude bore the brunt of the dep head’s stupidity, kept us sane, kept us on task, let us vent, managed projects, dealt with customers, and was an all around awesome guy.

Wasn’t even aware that Plex was still around. Swapped to Jellyfin years ago.
