Such low specs should be easily available on the used market well under $100. As to "no bloatware", see if you can find one supported by lineageOS or another alternative system.

I don't think anyone will make any predictions about the next 8 years. Replaceable battery was fairly common at the time they made phones with the specs you are looking for.

A bigger problem will be "no front camera" (almost unheard of), and USB C on a phone with Android 8 or 9, only 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. Most of these will be so old that they come with Micro-USB.

Ja, das ist doch der Punkt. Jerboa 0.0.35 läuft nur mit lemmy 0.18+. Aber feddit.de läuft noch auf 0.17.4.

OP zeigt einen Workaround, wie man 0.0.34 nach dem downgrade wieder zum Laufen bekommt.

I had already read it a few days ago. So far there seems to be no intention to support lemmy. I for one will probably not pay for a reddit app (of any flavour), but, for the few subreddits that have no viable counterpart here (yet), such as r/flying, I will probably occasionally use it in the desktop browser, if mobile browser really remains impossible.

I am still quite happy with my old Sun Fire X2270 M2 with Dual Xeon X5675. Not new, but its 12 physical cores, 88 GB RAM and 4 hotswap SATA drive bays in a 1U rack unit make it quite a decent machine for running a couple of VMs.

I also like my Dell T320 Rackable Tower server. It has room for 8 hotswap 3.5" SAS drives (or 16 2.5"), redundant power supply, and you should be able to get it for under $300. With a Xeon E5-1428L V2, mine is still quite capable and uses between 140 and 160 W (with 8 disks).

Even on my obscure setup (NetBSD nvmm virtual machine running on NetBSD host using zfs) I get decent performance with PostgreSQL, and minimal PHP opcache and redis tuning. One thing is not to use too many php-fpm processes. I host a small private server for family and friends, and usually limit the number of processes to 8. The VM has 8 GB of RAM and 10 CPU cores, but the cores are slow by today's standards.

Very long delays on otherwise decent hardware (i. e. anything newer than 10 years) always smell of DNS problems, if the symptom is a very long wait time with nothing happening, and then a reasonably fast page rendering / UI loading.

I'm quite happy with the performance, although some of the regular tasks seem to consume excessive amounts of "system" CPU time. But response time and preview rendering are all acceptable.

I found that streaming videos from nextcloud doesn't really work well. I don't really know about other services to self-host videos like that, though.

As to filling up the drives so fast, have you considered transcoding it to a smaller format (such as HEVC/H.265) in real time? I know that would require quite some CPU power. Even H.264 is likely to improve on camera native formats, as those often need to encode the videos with embedded/low-power CPUs. Do you need to retain the footage beyond 3 months?

Ich vermisse schon meine Nischen-subreddits, wie r/flying (wieder offen) und r/NetBSD. Meine anderen subscriptions waren eher Sachen, die ab und zu mal "mildly interesting" waren, aber Dinge, auf die ich gut verzichten kann. Zu r/flying sehe ich aber noch keine wirkliche Alternative hier. Es gibt !flying@lemmyfly.org, und ich habe !flying@feddit.de gegründet, aber beide sind noch weit weit von kritischer Masse entfernt.

Ein grundlegendes Problem ist, kleine communities auf anderen Instanzen überhaupt zu finden. Mein sprichwörtlicher Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen bringen würde, wäre, wenn das "Old Reddit"-Interface abgeschaltet wird, und/oder Infinity nicht mehr funktioniert.

I found nextcloud easier to set up than many other services, plus it comes with cloud file storage and other goodies as a bonus.

It is even easy on such obscure platforms as NetBSD in an nvmm-backed qemu virtual machine runnning on a NetBSD host.

(EDIT: well, it wasn't really trivial, the database (PostgreSQL in my case) setup and connection is not necessarily obvious to someone who hasn't done it before, but the fact that it works without real complications on very diverse platforms is a testament to its clean code.)

But that's the whole point: the is no centralised organisation. Which is the reason most of us are here. Duplication is just an unavoidable side-effect.

And it's not as if reddit were immune from that. Lots of similarly named subreddits on the same topic.

So that's not something that is "to be done". (Unless you meant TBH: to be honest.)

Quite like it. Jerboa is usable despite its early development state.

I miss and probably will continue to miss some of the smaller niche communities, which are really only viable on huge servers/networks. Notably /flying and /NetBSD. There probably aren't enough active users to create thriving communities on both reddit and lemmy. Although /r/flying participates in the blackout, I expect most redditors there will stay. I used the site on desktop most of the time, too, and I don't see myself cutting all ties, either.

So, ambivalent, I'd say. I'll see what the mobile app situation will be in a few weeks; Infinity has worked well for me.

I also signed up to Mastodon, mostly to support the digitalcourage.social server, but probably won't be using it a lot. I didn't use Twitter, either, but Reddit. I will probably continue to use /r/flying and /r/synthesizer, as they are so niche that I cannot expect anything comparable here.

I'll have to figure out how to post with Mastodon account on Lemmy.
