YunoHost “packages” are just scripts. In the case of Lemmy, Lemmy_ynh’s install script actually fetches the Lemmy Docker image and extracts the files (including pre-built binaries) from it. And then it writes the config files to use the system Psql instance instead of a containerized version.

FWIW I don’t care how YunoHost installs the apps. Whether it’s fetching and running containers, or building from source, or grabbing binaries. As long as the apps work and the reverse proxy gets wrangled it’s fine with me. Just in this case refusing to run the Docker images directly is, at least momentarily, a problem for updating the app.

Well it is “working” for me. I’m using a YunoHost Lemmy 0.16.7 to type this comment :). But I agree there should be some kind of warning on the project that it’s only really partially working, and very outdated (thanks to the recent flurry in activity and changes).

Mainly though I wish YunoHost would just support Docker idiomatically and install Lemmy “as intended”. Yeah Docker can be a bit of a pain and it uses more resources, but it also has many real advantages like siloing the apps from the host system…

Were you able to migrate your database from an outdated YunoHost installation to a v18 Lemmy running in Docker? I like YunoHost but I’m considering the same move, as this old Lemmy version has a lot of incompatibilities and other issues.

The main blocker, at least so far, was Lemmy is designed mainly to use use Docker containers to version itself and its main dependencies like Postgresql, while YunoHost runs on the bare system. And since YunoHost is still on Debian 11 it only has access to Postgresql 13 while Lemmy now wants 15. This unfortunately is hard to resolve. YunoHost doesn’t want to introduce Docker, and upgrading the entire platform to Debian 12 is slowly happening but it’s a lot of work.

Because what Twitter really needs right now is less engagement.

If they really do shut off API access I’ll go into partial link aggregator withdrawal. My Lemmy instance still isn’t upgraded to the latest versions which are compatible with apps, so I don’t browse on my phone.

Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”

One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.

This is an application of Amdahl’s Law. Which comes up all the time in parallel computing. The more parallel computing power is available, the more the work itself needs to be parallelizable, otherwise you will be leaving computing power on the table.

We’re on the Fediverse now. Our software has way better bugs.

In a way, Crysis. There’s a reason the “But does it run Crysis?” meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.

Yes so many great games shipped on XBLA. It’s how I first played Braid, Limbo, Shadow Complex, and many other indies. There’s still some which are exclusive to the platform, hidden gems like “ilomilo”.

Nice setup. I grew up using classic macs. Powerbooks, Macintoshes, Powermacs. All such beautiful and functional machines (until an Error of Type 2 occurred anyway). I miss that era of being amazed at these wonderful computers, with seemingly new features every year. MIDI. CD-ROM. Netscape!

I think a difference between email and ActivityPub-based social media is there’s arguably less of a need to have federation between any two servers. If you can’t email the government, your sister living abroad, or a client, that’s a big problem. But if you can’t follow a cat pictures account or your friend’s constant stream of baseball rants because the servers don’t federate it’s not quite the same.

If Meta becomes ActivityPub interoperable instances may or may not federate with them. Either way it’s not necessarily going to change my social media experience.

Yeah the Room games are great. I like how intuitively they use the touch controls.

It’s old, but SWAT 4 is still the best tactical shooter ever made IMO.

Mods like Elite Force make the experience even better.

Memes for the whole event, chef.

Having used both, while the market implications of NACS are still unclear it sure is the more ergonomic of the two standards. Those CCS2 DC connectors are just too large and unwieldy.

Hey Stux!

Yeah YunoHost is extremely awesome. I use it to host my Mastodon and Lemmy instances. It’s just a little unfortunate that until Debian 12 is supported, their supported Lemmy version is stuck at 0.16.7. So if you want to set up an Lemmy instance today YunoHost might not be ideal.

Hopefully they can get Debian 12 and latest Lemmy support working without any roadblocks.

Yeeeeeeeehawww!

Probably got your comment in the wrong thread, but that’s just a Lemmy bug. Yeehaw!
