Arch with i3wm

You might want to start scouring for DDLs and start seeding it yourself though you could also just wait. I’ve had torrents sit on 0 seeders for months before someone started seeding again.

Yeah I feel that a vast majority of them would just install the Official™ Reddit app and live with the crap. We’ll see though.

Yeah I use adblock.

If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank

Depending on what kind of content they serve, they usually still make a lot of money.

I have friends who still default to utorrent. Every time I see their desktops with utorrent in the taskbar, I let out an audible WTF and show them the light (qBittorrent).

I don’t remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.

I’m absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren’t planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.

I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.

Anyway, I don’t really care what happens to r/piracy. There’s a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I’m sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.

The last feature I liked from Discord was screensharing. Everything else since has been useless or outright terrible.

I’m torn as well. I find it easier to navigate Lemmy but Kbin’s interface feels much more polished.

As someone who wants to self-host an instance, which would you guys recommend? I’ve been reading through the documentation for both and Lemmy seems easier to install. Does anyone have experience with both? I’m interested to know how well they scale in terms of performance.

I run a game server (Valheim) on mine but since my friends and I haven’t been playing lately, I might repurpose it for something else in the meantime.

Paranoia Agent

I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They’re a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.

They’re generic keys IIRC.

Satoshi Kon. It’s unfortunate his filmography is short but he’s made some of the best Japanese animated films.

Can’t wait! I really loved the last two summer events. I hope this one is just as good!

Link to those who don’t want to deal with the paywall.

Oracle has a tendency to pull the rug and take your VPS away. You can read about it on the forums or on r/oraclecloud. I still have mine but I’ve heard of so many stories about how Oracle will flat out just terminate your instance without warning.

If you want to push through with it, make sure to do regular backups (as everyone should do).
