Sure I’ll take the bait: You realize you’re posting to a platform largely hosted on Linux machines likely from a Linux-based or UNIX-based mobile device. 🥴

I use Alpine Linux for server-based stuff because it’s so light and the packages are kept up-to-date.
I’d say this comes down to your experience with Docker (or whatever you use to containerize).
Generally speaking updates are as easy as pulling the updated image, but if something goes wrong you should know how to run commands inside the container, access the database, etc. Containerization can be painful if you don’t work with it everyday, but at the same time it brings so many advantages and it’s not hard to learn.
because then you'll never learn
As a web developer I’m interested if there’s something I can do to block it. I’ve already done an interest-cohort()
hack and another that stops Instagram in-app JavaScript from being injected.
I’d love to get a collection of these “hacks” packaged in a Ruby gem.
Edit: I should’ve read this before commenting, I see that you have to fill out that form but list every variation of http
/https
and submit every domain/subdomain. Easy for me to do, but for a large website? Yikes
That seems to be the consensus but what keeps me from picking it up quickly is it always looks very low-level (I’ve been in Ruby land for far too long 😆)
I’ve looked at Piefed and I kind of actually wish it were compiled. I come from the Ruby on Rails world and while I love Ruby (and Hanami too!) I’m just tired of interpreted languages (and Python always feels clunky coming from Ruby).
I wish I had the free time to learn Rust or Go, but I would be ecstatic to find a Crystal-based Lemmy server. Maybe when I’m 80 I’ll have the free time to work on that.
Lol, whatever 😂
Sometimes I want to learn, sometimes I just need to get something done. Why not be able to do both?
If you’re thinking specifically of torrents, then a seedbox or torrents are probably more your speed. I forgot which community I was in for a second.
As far as large files go, I feel you. I have a NAS at home that I share with friends but my residential internet upload speed is slow. What I’ve ended up doing is opening a Storj account and mirroring the NAS to it. Not sure if this is relevant (at all).
Maybe someone else can comment here, but there’s got to be some dead simple web interface you could host where you copy/paste a URL and it downloads it… maybe just wget
or curl
from the host instance?
I can chill with that
