So sad the Affinity suite isn’t on Linux
I am a technical and strategic founder developer experienced in web3, software engineering and building startups over the past 10 years.
I operate at the senior software engineer to CTO level, and am able to develop a company’s “zero to one” product.
So sad the Affinity suite isn’t on Linux
What’s the context here? What happened?
That’s lame. I just run my own instance. I’m based in Perth and the server itself is in Sydney, so nice and fast.
Related note, pictrs is super cool. Its like an OSS imgur backend, but no one really talks much about it or its potential.
Yep, so now its very difficult to run your own mailserver. Extrapolating this to Lemmy, I guess large instances will start autoblocking small instances by default.
What were the federation issues with aussie.zone?
Just the cheapest Digital Ocean instance that is on a 2 core CPU. It helps that its just me on there, so I don’t have to share with anyone… yet.
Eh you’re probably right, Lemmy web UI is actually pretty speedy and functional already
I’m selfhosting Lemmy and its SUPER fast. Just think of it more of a personal caching layer than anything else.
Now that I’m seeing more third party apps popping up, I wonder if there is appetite for a native desktop or mobile app
If you want to be super quiet… an array of Macbook Airs!
Cross compiling is one of the few places that Go shines over Rust
I tried many methods but ended up having to use Ansible. That worked without a hitch.
Sucks I had to spin up a new server for it though but that’s the cost of decentralisation I guess
Consider a NUC or P51, more performant than RPI and super efficient!
If there was an easy solution that balanced decent UX and performance, we’d have it by now!
What’s the alternative? You go full-banana decentralised or mega-site Reddit. I think Lemmy is a nice middle ground
Philosophically I think the reason why things are “the way they are” these days, is because of a big push towards stateless compute.
So persistence is bad in this approach. That includes images, files, configs, secrets.
Thanks a lot, AWS!
Yeah I mostly jumped headfirst into Affinity because it wasn’t subscription based!
