If my fingers prune I’m going to die or something

It seems to work, but it keeps throwing pictrs related errors, so it’s not really built for it

It barely works on my old version of lemmy, probably fixed now then. It would be nice if there was a was to turn that off and only use pictrs only for locally uploaded images. Since I’m the only person here caching isn’t too important.
I wonder if I could shut pictrs down and only use an external image hosting for images?

Lemmy sometimes caches remote content in pict-rs. It’s a bit broken so you usually don’t see it, but it does do it occasional

Related, What about a personal instance only I use? I can choose what communities I want but I can’t control what is posted on those communities. Someone could post something illegal to a beehaw community (and have) and the mods remove it, but does the deletion of images and posts federate? In know matrix keeps copies of every deleted file in a room on all homeservers, what about lemmy?

maybe something selfhosted? there’s no shortage of servers in the community

it’s not official, also the mod here seems to be inactive. but it’s the biggest homelab lemmy I could find on https://browse.feddit.de/
I don’t know where all the people from r/homelab have gone. some other subreddit that have closed have flooded into lemmy but r/homelab doesn’t seem to have done that.

I hate reddit. But it feels like the library of Alexandria burning down (yea I know). All those google search results and educational subreddits that are shutting down forever, and because they are too small reddit won’t force open them again.
A lot are in the pushshift archive, but that cuts of at 2022. Also, it doesn’t include a lot of the smaller subreddits.
I have had my PC running 24/7 with multiple VPNs to avoid rate limits downloading as much as I can before the API dies, but with some blackouts moving forward a day I have already missed a few.
Like many others, I would often add “reddit” to the end of my searches to get better results, half the websites on web searches now are either AI generated, copies or are completely AD ridden websites that ask you to turn off your AD blocker.
