Anything been taken over by the admins and turned back on yet?

I run my own instance and I can reply, make new posts, and even moderate communities on any instance I follow, and that doesn’t block me instance from joining. The only thing I cannot do is create communities on other instances.

So when lemmy.ml went down do to server load I had no idea until i clicked a direct link to it. I could still see my copies of their communities.

It’s more like my account won’t ever be deleted if the sever I signed up on goes away.

It will be interesting to see what happens as large instances grow and how they deal with storage and bandwidth. Any media a user uploads anywhere is hosted on their main instance. Self hosting also puts me in control of my upload media.

Do you plan on allowing other users? If so every image they upload anywhere will be hosted from your instance. You would need a long term plan for continued storage if you do.

If it’s only yourself then not much. You would need space for your uploaded images and the database. Worst case you have to purge communities to free up DB space and re add them. It only tracks communities from the moment you add them. It doesn’t pull the entire history, and associated db size, into your instance.

I can pull the real numbers when I’m not on my phone but my database and maybe 150mb now. You can see all the communities I follow here so get a relative idea: https://lemmy.cablepick.net/communities My instance has been up for 4 days. I should start tracking db size growth to give others an idea of what to expect.

It’s digg v4 all over again.

"I think it’d be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way but that doesn't mean impossible."

Its been a while since I've had any gpu's attached to a windows VM but I think my time pre dates the change. I realized they were not actually doing anything for my given workloads so I sold most of them. The P40 is setup in a VM for tensorflow now and one of these days Ill get the time to go back to that.

What hypervisor are you using?

I use proxmox and run a couple windows VMs for Remote Desktop. I’ve passed through nvidia gpus and even at point had a nvidia grid setup running splitting up a P40 across multiple VMs.

The nvidia gpu’s require several config options to ‘spoof’ a real desktop and prevent the code 43 error but windows still identifies them as virtual machines. I’ve never found a way for trick windows itself into thinking it’s stand alone.

Yeah me too. It’s the only way we can make this work.

I've read that the anti cheat engines will be triggered by a virtual machine. Not sure which games you play but you might have issues if they are online.

Same here. I never really engaged on twitter, this is more my speed.

Glad to hear it’s possible. I’ll give it try next week after things hopefully stabilize but with the looming Reddit shutdown on the 12th I might have to wait a bit longer.

This reminds me of when digg blew it self up and everyone was complaining that Reddit wasn’t like digg. In time something good enough will come along if lemmy isn’t it. In the meantime I’m enjoying myself here.
