PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

The one thing snap does that flatpak doesn't is provide CLI applications. But then nix also does that, so snap can go pound salt.

Would you all prefer lemmy as a whole reaches the userbase of reddit, or to remain smaller? in c/meta@lemm.ee

Towards the end a vast number of Reddit users ended up being bots, or used for spam of other kinds of manipulation. And for the rest the majority were karmawhores that didn't drive engagement or provided any constructive content. The federation can be big, but keep Lemmy instances small and keep the content fresh. Promote diversification.

What films that flopped when they came out but you saw in the theater and loved, that are now universally acclaimed or cult classics? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

Dredd and John Carter. In both cases the film was tanked by marketing (or lack thereof).

DIY vs pre-build NAS for home use in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Depends on how you intend to maintain it. I started out with a Synology NAS. When that started to give out the ghost I built own so that I could have better control over the software and hardware. It's now a NAS of Theseus - all the parts (even the OS) have been replaced over time, but it's still the same "unit".

The hardest part was deciding on a case. I started with a small form factor as a preference. Nowadays I just pick what gives me good airflow and ease in replacing parts.
