If you use the barebones one, then you’re actually using Arch 😉

Awesome!

The Danctnix thing I presume, not really Arch in the true sense 😉

But good to hear! Make sure to report the bugs you encounter so they can be fixed!

Nice, we don’t encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

Yes it was, we were working on restoring it. It’s back up now.

You live in a climate that’s not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it’s nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

Does that include all the pictures on there?

It can’t. 60 million odd articles with pictures only taking 20GB? I doubt it. Just the text taking up so few space that I can believe.

I believe just as viable as a Raspberry Pi, but not much more.

Ah awesome. The database horizontal scaling is a solved problem already luckily, especially an enterprise database like PostgreSQL has lots of options there.

as developers we would rather focus on optimizations which will benefit everyone, not only the largest instances.

Oh sure, but being able to horizontally scale shouldn’t hurt small instances 😉 Personally I’d probably host a single-user instance at some point just like I do with Mastodon, so I personally don’t really have a need for horizontal scaling either but it’s good to think of those things.

Is Lemmy made with horizontal scaling (a.k.a. launching more instances and have a load balancer proxy the requests to the various instances) in mind? It could help larger instances like lemmy.ml managing the load better rather than just putting it on a beefier machine.

Unrelated to your question, but honestly is there any reason not to prefer RuneLite? It’s objectively the better client, even if you turn on all the extras it gives you, with the enhanced GPU rendering.

Also I’ll be honest I have no idea what mastodon is.

Mastodon is to Twitter what Lemmy is to Reddit: a decentralized alternative built on the ActivityPub protocol for the fediverse.

But tons of libraries used out there are not in those runtimes, and this scenario still applies to them.

Better to just not use Windows at all at that point tbh. Go join us on the light side and use some Linux distro!

Btw we have a community on Lemmy as well! https://lemmy.ml/c/postmarketos

Meh, I’ll just wait patiently till it’s actually released.

I’m sure it’s nice, but it shouldn’t be forced upon me by some random software project. I don’t use Nix, I don’t have a need for Nix. But if I want to install this project, for some reason I suddenly need to edit my root system to install some package manager I’m never using.

I wish they focused more on passthrough, windows projected in real life (so AR) rather than the black space you now have in the background.

Also, it for some reason uses Nix as it’s build/install system. I’ve read through their issues talking about it and I get their reasoning, but there is no way I’m installing this in my system if I have to use Nix and install it as root…

They should upstream their forked stuff and make it compilable with system dependencies 🤔

I see benefit in both tbh. Connected as a fancy monitor to your more powerful PC at home, a thing on it’s own on the road. Although I suppose I rather see it use my phone as the rendering/computing device and just be another screen for that.

Note it’s Mastodon, not Mastadon.

Can give you some examples? That is definitely not my experience, the few subreddits I visit often only have memes every once and while and they often get removed quickly by the mods redirecting them to dedicated meme subreddits.
