I’m in the same boat, but didn’t jump so yet. I’ve been following paperless for a while now but every time I look at scanners I’m blown away by their prices…

There’s a bug in Lemmy v0.19 and v0.19.1 that relates to federation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4288

Gotta wait until it’s fixed and all instances update.

Based on this thread it’s the deduplication that requires a lot of RAM.

Edit: from my understand the pool shouldn’t become inaccessible tho and only get slow. So there might be another issue.

Edit2: here’s a guide to check whether your system is limited by zfs’ memory consumption: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10251

Then why didn’t you contact the devs or opened a bug report on GitHub?

Additionally this isn’t the community where this needs to be addressed. Either contact the admins or open an issue on GitHub.

Apparently I’m even older, I get news from news sites and not news apps

“World News”

Greek and Roman god names all the way!

For syncing I use Syncthing. It’s open-source as well and syncs two/multiple devices without the need for cloud-storage

Threads will support the same protocol as Lemmy (which is called ActivityHub), meaning Thread-content is accessible in Lemmy (and other services) and the other way around.

By blocking Threads no content from there will arrive here and the other way around.

While that’s true, other instances will eventually also need to find a way to make money. And unless you’re on the Facebook instance you shouldn’t see their ads (unless they inject those ads as posts).

The Facebook crowd can only assimilate us when we switch to their instance. I see a point where new users would prefer a bigger, i.e. Facebookey instance over smaller ones when they don’t know anything about the fediverse.

Playing devil’s advocate a bit here:

Considering that I rate Facebook as evil as Google, would you support “defederating” Google Mail from other mail services?

In my opinion, the fediverse/ActivityHub is just the underlying protocol to enable people to connect to each other just like SMTP and whether I want to contact someone using a service provider that I don’t like is my choice and should not be the choice of my service provider…

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but still: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ (might be slow to load).

Yep, works now! Looks lovely although I miss the up- and downvotes personally…

fyi, I’m getting an 502 error when trying to open the preview…

(Sadly I can’t program, so i can’t help with the actual coding…)
