used it to create an animated birthday card. end result was quite good and lots quicker than coding it all manually. it's better at basic css and javascript for layout and effects than I would be.
well, I'd venture that most people in this sub are running locally, which is quite doable. But even on a cloud instance there isn't a lot of compute involved. The instances listed here for under USD 20/year would be fine: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/186441/from-14-95-yr-openvz-7-2-ipv4-solusvm-lax-nyj-jax-raid-10-ssd#latest
no you need a domain - if you already have one you can use a subdomain, e.g. lemmy.mydomain.com - then you deploy a server, point the (sub)domain to it, then install and configure lemmy. Then, if you're so inclined, you can create communities on that instance that federated systems can participate in. The content is hosted on your instance but the subscribers are logging in mostly though other instances.
For any well-known software, ChatGPT -- although it pains me to admit it it -- is surprisingly good at providing reasonably clear installation and setup instructions.
Meaning you'll see what meta wants you to see. Sounds like same shit, different platform.
WaPo: Twitter has false users designed to undermine the political process by spreading manufactured outrage!!! We're shocked! Shocked! There's gambling going on in here!
thanks - yes, I suspected it was. Lemmy is what it is - and agree the question is difficult to answer concisely. Understanding that interpretation of "good" vs "bad" codebases is subjective, there are plenty of production systems that are unambiguously "not good". The great thing about lemmy isn't the UI, it's the threading and reddit-like communities built on the ActivityPub foundation. It's the right foundation.
No the answer is that it is written in a modern language, is in its infancy and needs a lot of work to be really great, but it's based on a certified protocol ActivityPub, that Mastodon and other "fediverse" systems use. It's going to be really great, eventually.
Go for it. the specs on the laptop are good enough to run plenty of stuff as a server. As long as the drive can be mounted you should be good. Your backups should be somewhere else.
Very nice! Thanks. Now all we need is hookers and blackjack!
Looks like #4 on this site: https://greatist.com/eat/cayenne-habanero-poblano-serrano-know-your-chile-peppers#basque-fryer the damage to the leaves looks like snails. If you put a ring of crinkly tinfoil at the base of the plant it might deter them.
