I just googled something. Don’t remember what I ended up on. Probably some blog post combined with rspamd’s website. It depends on your mailserver anyways.

It’s hard to find anything VLC doesn’t support. Just try it. It’s great on any device.

rspamd is used nowadays. Add sieve filtering to automatically move mails with a 7.0 or higher to a spam-folder. Manually move mails there that haven’t been detected and move mails out of the spam folder that have been falsely detected (personally don’t have any false positives with rspamd).

Then set up bayes learning with rspamd, either when mails are moved between folders or every few hours.

Jellyfin on the PC.

Or using Windows file sharing and running VLC on the TV and tablet.

It’s even in the FAQs of piracy forums. It’s awesome how far Linux gaming has come!

The classic Lucas Arts adventures. Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Grim Fandango.

I’ve been gaming since C64 days. We had the problem of too many games already back then. Hundreds of pirated games on disks and most of them weren’t even good.

The other day I felt the urge to play a new game from the “dead” point & click adventure genre. Filtered my Steam games and even found a relatively recent one with full Steam Deck support that was given away for free.

And I think I can do that with basically any genre.

Great indy titles get released all the time. Emulation gives me the ability to play almost everything from the entire history of gaming. Or just play one of my favourites. I just have to reach out and play. 2023 was an amazing year for gaming. 2025 wasn’t bad either.

Sure, bad games get made as well. But when I feel down I can just stop playing those and play Diarrhea 4 instead.

Come down from your high horse!

I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

Don’t take a gift from a German as remedy.

You can click the eye on top of a feed to switch between seeing and hiding read posts.

I don’t understand why they don’t use the client side filter-variable in Lemmy UI. It has been available for a while now. It solves a whole bunch of problems. Summit implemented it a few versions ago and it works great. I can hide and unhide posts with the push of a button.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s memes community.

Although the amount of bad punctuation and emoticons might shift this into shitpost territory.

I don’t have a 486. I don’t know anyone who has a 486. I wouldn’t know what to do with a 486. I know full well that all versions before 7.1 will be fully usable forever and that someone would fork the kernel if they actually needed to run modern Linux on a 486.

And still this makes me a little bit sad and angry.

Switch and Click had a video about that recently: https://youtu.be/M9qJI2u_be0

I was and still am on HDD. The CPU was upgraded as well. I migrated to a new server.

The main culprit was the database. As far as I’m aware Lemmy is missing some indexes and due to the ORM they used didn’t always have optimised queries. Now with 64 GB RAM the whole database (almost 30 GB) fits in there fixing most of those issues.

The real fix will probably come with Lemmy 1.0. They radically changed the database layout and queries.

Image proxying wasn’t bad for performance. Just storage space. It was growing really really fast. Now that only I am using it to host the pictures I uploaded it is still much too large (24 GB). But its directory structure is so convoluted that I can’t really debug it. My stuff really shouldn’t be taking up more than a few hundred MBs.

I am the only one using this instance. I am subscribed to a hundred communities or so. I am always pretty up to date with my Lemmy versions.

RAM. Maybe 32 would have been enough but 64 cost as much as 32 so that decision was easy.

Same stuff you do on any other instance. Looking at stuff, upvoting, downvoting, posting and commenting.

Control. I’m not beholden to anyone. My server is federating exactly those communities that interest me.

I run an instance just for myself and it was a nightmare on HDD and 16 GB RAM. It was slow as molasses. Supposedly the database layout will be fixed with the 1.0 release that is just around the corner.

Since I upgraded to 64 GB it’s been pretty smooth. Still wild that that is necessary for a single user.

Also, disable image proxying. I have no idea what pict-rs does but it seems to be too much.

You should consider running Piefed instead. It’s not as resource hungry as Lemmy.
