Why do so many people use NGINX?
  • Some good answers in here already. It boils down to a couple points for me:

    • Back when I started selfhosting, it was either nginx or apache, and I found nginx better and easier to set up
    • All the nginx knowledge I learned years ago still works just the same as it did back then, so why potentially mess things up by switching if it all still works
    • Basically every project has an example nginx config for reference, that can't be said about other proxies
    • It is easier to find support online for edge cases that might pop up with nginx due to the ubiquity of its use and years of history
  • NYC to Boston in 100 minutes: a high-speed train proposal picks up steam
  • I would love for this map to come to fruition as I live right by one of the stations they have proposed upgrading to a higher speed line. However, I am not holding my breath. Building a whole new HSR line is extraordinarily expensive and time consuming, just look at CA's ongoing project to get a taste. The density of development in the Northeast means it would probably be even more troublesome (even if it makes it more needed). If they can't build the North-South link, then they aren't going to build this any time soon.

  • Experience with IONOS?
  • I didn't have a VPS with them, but long ago I had a couple domains through them. One of them had an issue with the auto-renewal and I never got a notification of any kind, only finding out when they had taken ownership of the domain, advertising it for sale. Then they wanted some way, way higher amount of money for me to buy it back. So, I don't have any domains with them any more.

    This was years and years ago though, so they might be better now.

  • Argentina - Colombia: most undeserved victory ever
  • Conmebol and Concacaf games are full of gamesmanship and this game had remarkably little of it compared to other games from this same Copa. I mean, did you watch Colombia's second half against Uruguay? Every team does it when they can. Also, it is very clear from the shot of Messi's incredibly swollen ankle during extra time that he actually fucked it up. Acting doesn't make your ankle look like that.

  • Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy?
  • I think anime has become one of the more active niche interest communities on lemmy. The most active general anime community is [email protected] (shameless plug).

    In general, myself and some of the other more active posters have been migrating and encouraging other related communities to be located on the ani.social instance. Part of the reason behind that is that it lets users that just really don't want to see any anime content (see this thread) simply block the instance and move on.

    I know all about anime hot takes though. I have previously professed to hating Clannad so much I couldn't watch past the first couple of episodes.

  • Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy?
  • Where the NSFW line is drawn varies depending on the moderator and community. If there are communities that are either not moderated actively enough or draw that line too far to one side for your taste, then don't subscribe or block those communities. Those tools exist there for a reason.

    I would not consider the post you have linked to as NSFW. I also think that the NSFW tag has evolved over time, so perhaps my definition of NSFW just doesn't line up with what today's standard should be. There are plenty of anime characters in very popular shows that have a character design similar to that. There are big billboards of them some places to promote the show. Just because it might be NSFW in your work environment/region, does not mean it is everywhere.

  • Shoko Server not recognizing any anime
  • I use Sonarr, but it does mess up sometimes for shows even when you mark it as an anime to use absolute numbering. It most often happens with older shows that have lots of OVAs that are sometimes listed as episodes and sometimes listed as specials, depending on the database. So, if you are having Sonarr manage your downloads, then it can grab the wrong episode if its database (I think TVDB) and the release (usually using MAL numbering) disagree.

  • Shoko Server not recognizing any anime
  • I don't have a solution for you, but I will be watching this thread. Currently, I use Sonarr for library organization, but it doesn't always work well with anime due to title differences and differences between how seasons/specials are numbered in different databases. So, Shoko was on my radar to try out at some point since it uses anidb.

  • Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers?
  • I used to have my docker updates done automatically. However, as the services I used to run just for myself have started to be used by other people (family, friends), I am less tolerant of having things break. So, instead of something like watchtower, I run diun these days. I have it set up to ping me in a discord channel when a docker update is available. Then, I can actually perform the update when I have time and attention to troubleshoot any issues that may come up.

  • Options for equalizing temperature between the basement and the rest of the house in summer?
  • My house has a similar issue with a lower level that is perpetually much colder than the upper level. The main way we have somewhat alleviated the problem is by opening/closing registers. In the summer, we close all the registers in the lower level, forcing all the cold air from the HVAC into the upper level, then letting it sink down naturally. Our lower level is still cooler, but it isn't as stark a difference. Due to the layout of the stairs linking the two levels, a fan is not terribly effective at exchanging a lot of air between the two on its own.

  • Vermont Republican secretly poured water into colleague’s bag over months
  • As for whether he forgives Morrissey, Carroll said: “I guess I would have to say yes in the spirit of forgiveness, reluctantly. But if I had to be a smartass, I’d say her apology holds about as much water as my canvas bag.”

    Fantastic.

  • [DISC] Kimi wa Yakamashi Tojite yo Kuchi o! - Chapters 43-43.5
  • They really got expressive with Hiiragi's art this chapter. I don't think any of her friends are even really that surprised by the revelation that she likes Taiyou. However, I didn't see Taiyou being arranged a marriage coming. It feels a bit archaic these days, even in manga.

  • Tensei Shitara Dai Nana Ouji Dattanode, Kimamani Majutsu wo Kiwamemasu • I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability - Episode 4 discussion
  • The thread wasn't made for this one because there weren't any comments on the episode 3 thread. Then, a user requested that rikka make a thread for this episode via pm today. I don't know why they haven't then commented in the thread here, but that is why it was just posted today rather than when it aired.

  • [DISC] Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta - Chapter 110 [END]
  • Yep, that was great. I would have loved for this series to continue on, but the ending was satisfying. I would rather the author end it like this than drag something out for the sake of keeping a popular series going. Hopefully we get a couple bonus chapters when the tankoubon come out.

  • [DISC] Kaette Kudasai! Akutsu-san - Chapter 173
  • Alright, I couldn't see this post from ani.social yet, so I duplicated it. The good news is that things are catching up again, but it is still about 8 hours behind world. Here is the comment I had originally made on my post:

    The author definitely knows what they are doing when you see dialog like this...

  • [REVIEW] Toei Animation - Lovely★Complex
  • I haven't seen this one, but the review definitely makes me interested. I am a total sucker for a well-done romance. Back when the show came out (2007) that was absolutely not the case, so I had skipped it. Might have to go back and check it out.

    BTW, I see you crossposted a bunch of different communities. This would also fit right in on [email protected], so feel free to add that one to your list.
