  • Does that really scale though? The load on a server is not dependent on the number of users, but on the number of communities from other server that the sum of user is subscribing to.

    Which means if you have a server for 100 users, you still need to pay for the 1000s giant communities that those users are subscribing to, as they are being copied over in your server.

    So if you have a few mega server like Lemmy.world, they each pay say 10000£ in hosting a month (number taken out of my hat), which is fine because they have as many users that can contribute to it financially ( via donations, ads etc.). But small servers won’t be able to support that load and will ultimately close.

    That sounds like a design flaw if you ask me but i did not see anyone mentioning it so maybe i’m misunderstanding.






  • I’m not a lemmy dev, I just took a look at their repository

    I believe it’s the regex that detects if something is an image

    A reddit image URL is :

    https://i.redd.it/2obhjz2wb37b1.jpg
    or
    https://preview.redd.it/7s1p7mal707b1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=f741210c6c54fed7c3ed06aaabdb1f0a49fd46cb
    

    in both cases it has “.jpg” (with the dot) in it so it passes the regex. It does not need to finish with it.

    Whereas the image your provided does not have that in it.

    You can instead download the image and post it like this, or similarly take a screenshot.

    I believe that sort of website does this on purpose to make sure they don’t waste server resources on other website that do not drive any ad revenue to them.





  • Thanks, I’ve got that setup in an evening on a machine that wasn’t doing anything, with unraid as an OS.

    It works beautifully and the quality of content and speed (100MB/s always !!!) of the usenet servers are just amazing.

    So landed on OS - Unraid Getting TV Shows - Sonarr (as Docker app) Indexer - NZBGeek Usenet server - Eweka Getter - NZBGet Streaming platform - Plex

    I’ll add Radarr at some point but I just don’t watch that many movies. Might looks into books and scans of mangas though. Thanks anyway.


  • Hard to select them, Shonen: Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood is pure perfection but I’ve watch an episode of one piece every week for the past 15 years of my life so it does have a special place in my heart, despite some obvious pacing issues.

    Funny: Yakitate Japan, an anime about bread baking. Super funny and engaging, sort of like a non-porny food wars mixed with Gintama.

    Recent: I’m currently enjoying “campfire cooking in another world”, and recently finished Yuru Camp, both really good.
