I have Rust experience and will consider helping out. I've been wanting to help out Lemmy recently anyway.

My favorite part of Rust is that if it compiles and passes the borrow checker. Like you said, it's almost guaranteed to work like you expect it to. Exceptions being potential panics and logic errors.

Awesome! Thanks for the response. I'd love a post sometime on hosting Lemmy. I'd find it very interesting and useful!

I've got a 'NAS' setup on my desktop computer/server. I use it for almost everything. It runs VMs and games and self-hosted servers, etc, etc. It is Arch Linux but does it all. Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/QBittorrent.

24 TB of HDD in raid 10.

I haven't found a good reason to keep a separate computer/server. It pretty much just always complicates the setup. If I need more separation, a VM is usually a better answer in most cases as far as I can see.

Thanks for working through these issues and improving performance of the website! Very appreciated. I've been tempted recently to create my own Lemmy instance, was this a problem with an nginx configuration option? How much does Beehaw deviate from a standard Lemmy deployment?

Feel free to answer vaguely if you don't feel comfortable with giving away the details : )

I mean the site was literally named 'Reddit', for "Read it", referring to news that people read and could discuss. So I think that is a pretty good guess as to what its goal was at the start.

I think often times discussion in those large subreddits are centered around megathreads that are pinned for a certain period of time. This allows people coming in for discussions to see them immediately on top and everyone else can post memes with tv show/manga/movie spoilers.

Question for you. How do you search for torrents on I2P? I know postman has their web interface but do you use any other tools for finding hash IDs, etc?

Qbittorrent has a search function but no python add-on exists for searching I2P as far as I know.

Yup, I'm going to guess Pegasus and Celestia combined.

Turn off mixed mode and also fiddle with DHT. I'm not sure if DHT will bypass i2p in some cases but it's worth a shot.

I'm personally very skeptical of all these rarbg clones.

You gotta look at the peer lists in qbittorrent. You'll know if its i2p because you won't see regular IPs but instead i2p addresses which are much longer.

I used to run OSMC and had Kodi and everything on there but honestly it was more trouble than it was worth. Kodi and it's piracy addons are pretty buggy in most cases and fail to work reliably for very long. Since then I've switched back to using Plex but soon I may have to switch again to Jellyfin.

Just as an FYI I started used Jerboa yesterday and it is working well now but it was very hard to find where to login at first. Most of the UI is disabled without logging in but I couldn't find out where to do that for like 10 minutes of searching the UI. I can see that being a pain point for new users.

People definitely need Lemmy now more than ever. Reddit is going public. It's only matter of time before they ban porn outright and stifle more communities and discussion. I'm very much looking forward to more Lemmy instances and communities.

Is it possible to donate Cryptocurrency? I'd love to give XMR (Monero) so I don't have to reveal any details about myself, etc.

Hi Hi. Thanks for approving me so fast mod team! Like many others I'm a reddit refuge. I can't stand what the modern internet is becoming with the likes of these massive social media companies and their monetization practices. So my hope is to find a bunch of cool and friendly people on here who can chit chat freely. Thanks agan!
