You are welcome to share a photo on here that does it better.

Basically, the sorry state of public transit in this country is the result of various policy decisions to further enrich and empower capitalists by depleting public infrastructure, forcing working people to get their own transportation, and baking in racial segregation.

Jellyfin and Yunohost are two projects that have simplified self-hosting and made it accessible for me. I just think more progress can be made in that direction.

and yet, here we are, on lemmy.

As far as I can tell, you are not self-hosting the Divisions by Zero Lemmy instance, so I’m not sure what your point is there. I am actually self-hosting my lemmy.crimedad.work instance with the help of Yunohost.

you also need to remember that this is literally a turn key product, that literally every cloud provider sells

I am unaware of server products that I can just buy, plug in, and get up and running in minutes with my own ActivityPub instances, media storage/streaming, XMPP messaging, and etc. If they really exist, please share links.

There’s certainly value in doing this stuff the hard way, but the goal should be for self-hosting to be as easy as signing up with Google, Facebook, Spotify, etc. There aren’t enough people with the time and curiosity to figure out the current state of self-hosting and make a dent in the three website problem.

Lol I know what you mean. Maybe I am speaking more to the ideal of the home network printer than real life. My experience with them over the last twelve years or so hasn’t been as terrible as yours, but it hasn’t been perfect either.

Nice!

Hopefully that path is mostly precluded if an open source project like Yunohost is used as a basis.

Part of what I like about it is that it’s not pretending to be something else. It looks like a an extremely secure, resilient building, which is exactly what it is, but it still looks good.

I do!

If self-hosting is going to become commonplace, then it needs to be easier than setting up a network printer. People should be able to just buy a computer (maybe a laptop for integral screen and UPS) preloaded with something like Yunohost, but with a sleek GUI. It has to have good wizards that walk you through everything including setting up a domain and email.

There might actually be a case to be made that a jury should only consist of people who have gone through the system.

Unfortunately, I don’t get the reference.

When I was a kid I used to drive by the Pirelli building all the time and dreading that I might have to go to work in a big, beige building like that one day. I never liked buildings like that until somehow it just clicked for me in my late twenties. Now I think brutalism and similar styles are wonderful.

Anyway, maybe I’m just a weirdo, but it was actually surprisingly pleasant in there: clean and calm with friendly, easy going staff. I kind of regret getting excused a little bit.

Thank you for reminding me what those were called!

I wasn’t sure if it counted, but I am a brutalism enjoyer as well.

Lol not yet.

Newark is treating me well so far. We’re on lunch break and I’m having a big open-faced Reuben at Hobby’s right now.

Indeed. I have some first hand experience to back that up.

Jealous of all of you from Of-Course-it-was-Overcast-Last-Night, NJ.
