Thank you, that SQL command looks like exactly what I'm after! I'm going to give that a shot. I appreciate the help!

I've had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I've been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

My Mom has been running Mint for over a decade now and I rarely have to remote in and help her with anything. If it passes the works for my Mom test, I think it should work for most people.

It was once great, back in the glory days. Gnome 2 and Compiz, baby! It's still OK too, but not my preferred choice.

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants to bind all traffic on port 443 for Lemmy which would break my Mastodon install. Has anyone managed to get Lemmy and Mastodon running on the same box, and if so, can you share any details of your setup?

Except much like your comment, they aren't actually trying to have a good faith discussion.

I'm attempting to get a Lemmy server running on Debian 11 using this documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

The following command fails as a result of some minor version incompatibilities: cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs

Removing --locked seems to work, but it fails compiling later in the process with the following output: Compiling diesel-async v0.1.1 error[E0405]: cannot find trait RowGatWorkaround in module diesel::row --> /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/diesel-async-0.1.1/src/pg/row.rs:16:23 | 16 | impl<'a> diesel::row::RowGatWorkaround<'a, diesel::pg::Pg> for PgRow { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in diesel::row

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0405. error: could not compile diesel-async (lib) due to 2 previous errors error: failed to compile lemmy_server v0.17.4, intermediate artifacts can be found at /usr/bin/

Does anyone know how I can remedy this?

Thanks for the feedback! After days of thinking about it and checking availability it was the best I had come up with so I just went for it. Those urls should work soon if all goes according to plan.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And yes, definitely watch those renewal costs. There are some domains that look like a great deal right now with the introductory deals, like .host, but be ready to pay $85 per year at renewal time!

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

What do you think of fdr8.us? Then I could do some subdomains off of it like lemmy.fdr8.us and mastodon.fdr8.us.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like it but it's taken. I could grab lemmy.co.in. lemmy.in is way better though.

As the title says, I'm ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like "Lemmy.World" and "sh.itjust.works", I really want to come up with something good. Unfortunately after thinking it over for three days now and checking tons of names for availability, I don't feel any closer to deciding on a name. It doesn't help that almost all the dictionary words are sold at premium rates these days, even with a fairly obscure tld. Any name suggestions or techniques for choosing a good name would be appreciated. It probably sounds silly but this part just isn't my strong suit and I'm frustrated that it's holding up the project.

Unfortunately it is currently broken with lemmy.world. For those of us that are already signed in it seems to work ok, but new users will need to use something else at the moment. Connect for Lemmy is a good alternative on Android.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sort of. If I understand correctly something in 18 broke captcha so they can't use it without being swarmed by bots. It will supposedly be repaired with server version 18.1. The Connect app for Lemmy doesn't seem to have an issue with the older server version if people want to give that a try. Jerboa is broken with lemmy.world currently.

Everyone commenting seems to be missing your point. Regardless how people feel about pets and fireworks, people should be aware that the 4th of July revelry can be extremely difficult for some veterans suffering from PTSD. There's one I know personally who was in combat in Iraq and saw really terrible things. You can tell talking to him it deeply effects him to this day. I think of it a lot when I hear illegal fireworks. At least with the official fireworks shows they know when to expect it. The illegal fireworks are just random out of the blue and could easily trigger a PTSD episode. Maybe the guy in the screenshot talking about patriotism should consider that.

This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain't that some shit?

Edit - I've been informed in the comments that the mod message may have been misleading and my post might have actually been removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

I like pickling things. Pickled Red Onions are delicious and easy, and Pickled Green Beans are probably my favorite. Fresh Green Beans can be had by the big bag for about two bucks. Throw in a couple Habanero peppers for spice, maybe $.50 worth of seasoning, $.50 worth of vinegar if you buy it by the gallon, and you have some delicious cheap snacks that are also relatively healthy. The worst ingredients would be salt and sugar, but you can minimize its use to taste when you make them yourself. I guess it's all relative, but to me a few bucks for a quart jar of quality homemade pickles checks all the boxes when it comes to cheap, healthy, and delicious. It does take a bit of prep work though so it's definitely better if you enjoy that type of thing.
