I have a couple of thoughts.

1. I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream 'culture' I can stand, and frequntly more.

2. I think it's a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y'know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It's not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It's more answering the question, 'What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?'

I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.

Will it still be possible to purchase a VPS in another country and pay with Monero or something? This seems like insane over reach, are theu going to make it illegal for americans to do business with international IAAS providers?

But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?

I try to keep an eye out for repetitive tasks that might make good projects. I just started a python script that's going to download all my google photos so i can free up my cloud storage.

I think communities run by people who wish to mod them arbitrarily should be allowed to exist.

That his initial view of his powers implications was flawed is central to his character. His entire moral philosophy is predicated on his feelings of guilt and regret for his selfish actions resulting in Uncle Bens death.

What do you use for hosting? I'm looking for a good host and highly budget conscious.

What makes hosting with PHP cheaper than with python?

Lately ive been getting a lot of new music from rateyourmusic.com . I look up an album i like, find some themed lists featuring it that aound interesting (a lot of the lists are like "things i listened to this year", i ignore those), and will hop from list to list as i see interesting looking albums.

Same, i thought it was about having a manic episode or something

I'm glad I didn't pay for this. It looks fun but the performance is terrible it's literally freezing right now as I'm trying to quit. It eats up almost all of my CPU. I don't have a high-end gaming rig (any more), but i was able to get better performance out of the outer worlds.

I wonder if it would work if you spoofed your user agent.

I wouldnt be surprised if this was suicide by cop. But its still indicative of a structural problem that such a thing is possible.

This reminds me of the old human psychology trick: try not to think of a pink elephant.

Excuse me i think you mean ctrl+c:w

Its a technics DD. I think its a mk 2 or 3 model. When its off its consistently off. Like it still locks into a speed its just the wrong speed.

I think its an electrical issue and im too afraid to take it apart while it still works sometimes. I probably couldnt fix anyway

I still havent found anything can match the experience of finding music from online discussions or list hopping on RYM.

I never stopped either, but i buy vinyl..slowed down since my turntable only spins at 33.3 in special occasions when the spirits shine upon it.
