  • Those who don't use dashboards, how are you managing your services?

    Jump 
  •  
        
docker stats

    With that command, I get all the stats I need, no dashboard required.

  • I'm sure it will. A company is behind it.

  • It's better to wait for a stable product than to release it early with full of bugs

  • I switched to Linux and now, I'm in the mildlysoothing category

  • American evangelicals. Do not put all Christians in the same basket. I'm Orthodox Christian and I absolutely hate what he is saying.

  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

  • emergency remote access

  • Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?

  • Think of Reddit as Cyberpunk or Mirror's Edge: a world controlled by corporations instead of governments. A corporation only seeks its own interests and those of its shareholders. In that world, you're nothing. There's no transparency, and you don't have any rights.

    Lemmy instances on the other hand are run by the community and funded by donations. As such, the interests of the group as a whole prevail; they are not the interests of shareholders. To maintain cohesion, transparency is necessary, hence the modlog. Without transparency, cohesion and community cannot be maintained.

    Reddit and Lemmy are two completely different worlds.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn't bother to find out what database it uses...

  • Creepy companies don't ask for your consent.

    Jump

  • Linux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It's nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.

    These are nonprofit projects that don't seek to monetize from you because you're not the product.

  • Is there a Fediverse version of Onlyfans?

    Jump

  • OnlyFans' purpose is to make money from your actions. The Fediverse is the antithesis of that. It's run by donations, not corporations. Therefore, it will not exist.

  • Creepy companies don't ask for your consent.

    Jump

  • The only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you'll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.

  • How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?

    Jump

  • We cannot forget that 3dfx went under when they bought STB to manufacture their own video cards instead of letting their board partners do it.

  • How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?

    Jump

  • 3dfx had market dominance in 90s but then basically committed suicide.

    Very true. They committed suicide when they bought STB so that they could manufacture their own video cards. They didn't just focus on chip R&D, they needed to manufacture and market their own video cards instead of letting board partners do it.

  • What are you all playing lately?

    Jump

  • Currently replaying Borderlands 3 and playing Horizon Forbidden West.

  • I agree. It's ChatGPT style, I hate it.
