I could only get it to work with docker and not using ansible, the instructions are pretty good but if you have a specific question I can try and help. I do IT for a living so I guess I filled in some context maybe https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

I started with it locally, but I migrated it to a hosting provider because of their managed services and I’m lazy. I take offsite hourly backups and own the domain so if anything happens I can rebuild it elsewhere.

My assumption is that Americans are probably under constant fire at all times

I like having ownership of my internet experience so I run a lemmy instance and my friend administrates it. It is more fun than using a botted network.

Drugs should be legal, driving recklessly with guns while high should definitely not be legal. I don’t think Americans deserve to die for walking around despite how much I hate their country.

I’m not mad at Joe, I’m mad at the libs who are defending the behavior. The dude drove recklessly while on crack, if anyone else did that they would be a slave in a US supermax for the rest of their life.

I love it how the liberals think “Well Trump did it too!” is some kind of own. America is so comically corrupt it is hard to take their government and the people who support it seriously

Tankie has no definition to liberals so they can’t answer this, it is whatever they feel at the time.

Not by asking non vegans. Vegans are the voice for the voiceless and you’re taking part in a boycott that challenge peoples core beliefs. To be a good vegan is to push back and disturb social cohesion which people do not like. I’m not a vegan to make friends, I’m vegan to do the right thing.

Who knows, they said because of glorifying violence when people were praising John Brown, but really I think Reddit is anti leftist and used quarantining The_Donald as an excuse for “fairness”

Reddit is a captured propaganda tool of the US state department and heavily botted by their political parties.

When the chapotraphouse subreddit was banned I learned about lemmy and hexbear. I lost the password to lemmy.ml u/HamidPayaamAbbasi now I have my own instance.

I’m in my mid 40s and I care about things more and have more experience and context to understand everything. I definitely wouldn’t start smoking, I actually am taking better care of my health now because I don’t want to be sick for the last 30 years of my life like all the boomers. By virtue of posting to lemmy you are statistically likely to live into your 70s so I think your understanding of what old is or how bad you feel when you mistreat yourself is way off.

It is more decentralized than this platform.

The person on a mastodon instance says while commenting on a lemmy instance that I am reading from a different lemmy instance that I own.

I’ve gained a lot in my life learning Urdu and Hindi and encourage more people to learn. They are essentially the same language with different scripts, but unlike Arabic or Chinese they are Indo European languages and are much easier to learn. I grew up speaking farsi so maybe it was easier for me but if you work in IT knowing Hindi is indispensable.

The democrats have won most of the elections in the past 30 years and they are still going more and more right. I don’t think you’re correct in this analysis. Hilary Clinton and Al Gore won the elections and didn’t become president, even discounting that the democrats have been in power for the majority of this century and they have only become more and more right wing.

US Elections are decided when they do redistricting and manipulate the voting districts to ensure the results they want and isn’t a real democracy. The US is run by oligarchs who run their enterprise corporations and the power is concentrated there, not in the government.

Tesla is a military industrial complex company along with SpaceX and StarLink that uses tax dollars to fund their operations and keeps all the profits themselves. They then use the profits from these cars to lobby against public transit.

I also prefer freetube to the containerized web hosted softwares like Invidious because I sit at a personal computer all day.
