Take a deep breath…
If they let everyone upload, the place would likely go to shit really fast. Poor quality uploads, unseeded uploads, uploads that nobody can download because the seeder doesn’t have a decent internet connection, viruses, illegal images, you name it.
So of course there’s a process. It’s up to you to figure it out, so figure it out. The website that I found isn’t loading for me right now, but the last time I was looking at it, it was very easy to find the post explaining how it all works, and I don’t even have an account there.
Just checking. Anyone can create an account, but uoad privileges there require an application. They have some basic requirements like upload speed, ability to leave things seeded after upload, etc.
I don’t know any details because I don’t have an account there. I just read whatever is available in the FAQ.
Did you apply?
“Easy” might just be relevant to your experience. You can follow along with the Ansible instructions, or go your own way with Docker and Docker Compose.
Both methods require a bit of work to get spun up, but it’s not too bad.
I wouldn’t say so. Digital rights, online privacy, etc. apply to everyone, not just people sharing files on the internet.
Interesting choice.
The upgrade went smoothly for me. Be smart with your backups with this one!
Upgrading to postgres 16 was the hardest part. You need to pg_dump the lemmy database, upgrade to postgres 16 (which will complain in the logs that the current data isn’t compatible), delete the database folder (don’t delete the backup file from pg_dump!), then import the backup file into postgres 16.
I had already upgraded pict-rs to version 0.5+ so that was easy.
Then I compared the new lemmy.hjson with what I already had to get the new pict-rs setting for proxied images (turned off for now).
Overall a lot more complex than previous upgrades.
Be smart with your backups with this one!
One more thing to consider if you’re using Debian 12 is it comes with postgres 15, so if you you’re using the bare metal to make backups, you’ll need to install postgres 16 using the instructions here.
Is Pirate Party a nickname or do they actually call themselves that?
Blocking spam is not selfish, no.
Isn’t that good enough?
My setup is exactly the same, actually. I love last.fm and scrobbling, been doing it for 15 years probably.
I was trying to say that Lidarr isn’t a silver bullet. There are lots of ways to discover music, but OP seems happy with Spotify.
Lidarr is not a Spotify replacement. There is no way to play music, just like you can’t play movies in Radarr.
There is no way to discover new artists, it only knows the artists you tell it about.
A week ago someone commented on my 9 year old reddit post.
I was worried that federation was still broken after not seeing any comments on this after 3 hours… But it’s working.
No problems so far on our instance. Thanks for the update and bug fixes.
I got a huge kick out of this. Superb.
Oh gotcha. I’d suppose that if a person is that concerned with Threads, they’re probably invested in the idea of Lemmy such that transferring to another instance is not out of the question. Someone who’s not interested in putting in the effort to transfer probably doesn’t feel strongly either way about Threads. That’s just an assumption on my part, of course.
I haven’t noticed much of a difference in shipping time. If I order something online I’m not depending on it to arrive quickly.
I don’t think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That’s just federation in action. Good stuff.
