Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)

You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

I use Steam + Proton in an LXC so I can share the graphics card among several other containers. It works quite well with streaming once I got it set up.

I was going to recommend Logseq as well. I use the git plug-in on laptops and Working Copy (git on iOS) and some automations to sync it on mobile.

I also have around 3GB used for pictrs and I’m not really sure the best way to see what all content is in there.

+1 The provider you choose has complete control of your account. You only have access when their server is up. They control updates.

If they don’t have good backups you could lose everything. It may be unpopular but I think most would be wise to pick one of the already established major instances.

I find debuggers are used a lot more on confusing legacy code.

Lately, monitoring tools such as OpenTelemetry have replaced a lot of my use of profilers.

It’s not just you, I see 404: couldnt_find_community.

If you aren’t attached to Ansible, I suggest using Docker to host Lemmy. I found it’s instructions, using Docker Compose, to be quite straight forward.

My other 2 cents is that hosting on Windows isn’t worth the hassle and there will be a lot less to debug on Ubuntu if you’re already comfortable with it.

+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

I’ve been trying to debug this as well so it’s not just you.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for this.

I started with my self-hosted Mastodon instance but quickly realized that just added noise. Self-hosting Lemmy was pretty simple and now I run both.

The resource needs for a small Lemmy instance are quite low and practically nothing compared to my Mastodon instance.

It’s not the cheapest but I use a DigitalOcean instance to do what you are describing. I’ve been burned by VPS hosts and I’ve enjoyed the complete lack of drama or downtime with DigitalOcean.

For port forwarding I’m using Private Internet Access and gluetun. I don’t really recommend Private Internet Access and, like you, I’m interested in a better solution. It’d be nice if I could use ProtonVPN’s port forwarding but it looks like that only works if you use their app.

Hopefully large instances keep federating with the small, self-hosted ones. I’m not sure how to check but I think really small instances still have the most reach.
