Federated?

You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.

Where does it say that you need one?

Since both services store your notes as markdown files on your disk, you can just move your files over. When spinning up a docker container, you likely defined a path for your SilverBullet space. If not, try creating a note and see if you can find it on your disk.

Your instance will still exist, and federation should continue as normal if you manage to reclaim the original domain.

If you have to switch to a new one, however, federation will be very awkward. Other instances will essentially treat you as a brand-new instance, and mirrors of old content will be “orphaned” and no longer sync.

People like you are the reason they don’t use Linux.

Keep going like that and you’ll see what the real reason is.

I also want people-owned website to take off, but as of right now there is little incentive for people to host their videos on their own when YouTube does it for free and gets you a huge audience.

For now, I have to choose between participating in the adblocker cat-and-mouse game, or just getting my Turkish “friend” to purchase YT Premium and being done with it.

The memes are annoying because most of the complaints are superficial.

“Look, "b" + "a" + +"a" + "a" outputs "baNaNa"! JavaScript bad!” Yeah, that’s what happens. Just don’t do that thing that obviously doesn’t look right. Don’t use var, just like every modern JavaScript learning resource will tell you. Don’t use == if you don’t intend for type coercing to happen.

If you don’t write bad code on purpose, JavaScript is fine.

You people are arguing that YouTube should be hosting videos without asking for any compensation. You will continue blocking ads no matter how many of them there are.

I hope YouTube just completely paywalls itself so this whining can end already.

If you don’t know the history, why are you so confidently talking about JavaScript being built in 2 weeks?

Agreed. I’m on a family plan and I find that I’m getting my money’s worth, plus saving myself the headache of participating in this cat-and-mouse game.

I’m willing to bet the people who use adblockers and say “fuck Google” in this thread never considered donating to the developers of said adblockers for letting them dodge YouTube’s fee.

I am. It’s just ironic to say “fuck Google” while continuing to depend on Google’s service

Then why are you using Google’s services

It’s because a traditional forum has to be hosted by the project maintainer and then appeal to users enough for them to create an account there.

Compare that to Discord. Most users already have a Discord account and it’s relatively easy to set up a server on there. Plus it happens to be the communication tool for young people.

It makes sense, but it’s sad nonetheless.

My instance dormi.zone has been running for around 3½ weeks now, has a 3-digit amount of users and hosts a community with little more than 1000 subscribers. Here’s how much storage it currently takes up:

• 6.2 GiB postgres
• 4.9 GiB pictrs

In the default Ansible configuration, storage will mostly be accumulated by log files that are automatically generated by Docker and deleted whenever you restart the Docker containers.

Are you planning on donating to instances that don’t purge old data?

After what happened to imgur and gfycat, definitely their own image hosting service.
