Long before Guy Bartkus’ personal war against life ended with him the sole suspect in blowing up a fertility clinic, and himself, there was a fascination with pyrotechnics.

    Anyone want to place bets on how long it is before Elon uses this as an excuse to whisper in Trump’s ear that he needs to classify the Fediverse as a terrorist organization? It’d conveniently shut down competition with Xitter (and other billionaire-owned social media sites) if Mastodon (and Lemmy and PeerTube and Diaspora etc) was shut down for “RaDiCaLiZiNg fErTiLiTy ClInIc BoMbErS” or whatever BS.

      lemmy is not even a blip on anyone’s radar and huge majority of its users still primarily use reddit and twitter.

          It can be a bit expensive, but I’m okay with it if it adds another instance choice for people. Switching over to object storage was an absolute lifesaver.

          I never thought I’d own a “.yachts” domain lmao.

            A single user instance, expensive? I’m using a hosted VPS with 1 vCPU, 2 Go RAM, 20 Go disque, and that seems like plenty. Although admittedly I’m not federated with many communities, and mostly just play around with my instance as a toy (it’s not this instance, ofc).

            Oh sry, I just noticed you do host a few users actually. That’s cool. Do the system requirements ramp up much?

              I have quite a bit of disk space from before I moved over to object storage. I can’t size it down so I just roll with it. 4gb of RAM, 70gb disk, 2 Intel vCPUs, then a bucket for object storage (dirt cheap which is nice). I mostly use it for myself and have it federated with a variety of servers and communities. I’ve been in tech for years and like offering it. I also have a Matrix server too but that’s pretty tiny.

      I would strongly recommend using a Lemmy/fediverse instance that is not hosted in the US.

      For tons of reasons, the fact that it might get shut down by Trump isn’t even in the top five.
