  Ouch… I am happy you were able to share such a defining moment of happiness with your kiddo.

  this game. One of his most recent meltdowns

  I try to help my kids understand it’s a game for fun. If you’re no longer having fun, you stop playing.

  When the suggestion is to pirate it, so spotify doesn’t get any money I don’t see how your follow-up comment matters. In either case of piracy, OR using spotify, the artist still doesn’t make money. Problem is that piracy comes with a lot more hoops and headaches.

  Of course, buying the artist CD or songs directly is much preferable to either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  at least Spotify won’t make any money from it.

  And the artists still won’t. So given in either case, the artist don’t make squat; using Spotify is easier. So, use spotify.

  Beehaw isn’t the only instance of Lemmy, nor the only instance in the Fediverse. Sure, the feature being added to Lemmy now, won’t benefit Beehaw. But it would still benefit others. Refusing to work on the features that Beehaw wants out of spite, will definitely hurt other instances too.

  Not my circus, not my monkeys

  That query by itself in a vacuum is fine. Combined with many other triggers on the DB, and then federating that out before actually deleting from the local DB… well that is what creates all sorts of headaches.

  where there’s a tree of people you’ve invited And that is how you get singular point of view echo chamber.

  And so enshrined is that final nail in the enshitiffication coffin that was Reddit. I give it 3mo before Spez _leaves Reddit to focus on _.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all actually host?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do recommend it. It’s easy to setup and does everything you need in a documentation knowledge base. I used to use confluence before their enshitification; WikiJS is much nicer for my use case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all actually host?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s more… ><

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do y'all actually host?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I self host whatever I can within reason. Like I don’t host my own email, used to though! Currently I have the following services on Proxmox:

  • Nginx reverse proxy
  • Authelia
  • Technitium
  • Paperless
  • FreePBX
  • Immich
  • LibreNMS
  • Gitea
  • WikiJS
  • Ntfy
  • Vaultwarden
  • Kasm
  • Portainer
  • Matter most

  And a few smattering of others that I spin up as needed or for testing things.
