There were still bugs. You just learned how to deal with them or work around them.

I’ve also been a subscriber for the last 4 years or so and seeing all of this is making me wonder if I’m subscribed to the same Spotify they are. I’ve had none of these issues.

Same. I’ve seen multiple people say this here and I’ve yet to experience it. Makes me wonder if the particular podcasters they’re listening to have opted in to some sort of ad revenue thing from Spotify.

All this talk of state-sponsored/subsidized news/media gives me the wiggins, at least as someone who lives in the US. I’m sure people smarter than myself could come up with a bullet proof system to prevent abuse, but really, I would have little faith it would stand the test of time. I feel like any protections you put in place would be eroded eventually. All it takes is one “emergency” or “disaster”. Maybe I’m wrong. It just feels so 1984ish.

There’s a joke in there somewhere. I just can’t put my finger on it.

What the fuck is in the water over at the Reddit HQ, lead?

Noooooooooooooooo!!!

That can change, and already has begun. What made Reddit special was exactly what we’re doing now, discussion. All it’s going to take is for fediverse content to be searchable (if it’s not already searchable) and it’s game over for Reddit.

And it was so valuable and useful because we, the former redditors, made it that way. They’re ruining the hard (and free) work people did over those 15 years to make it useful. The good thing is it’s been shown to be entirely replaceable, and made better by taking control out of corporate hands.

The special (and valuable) thing about Reddit was its passionate users. Take that away and what’s left?

Writing this from Memmy right now. Can’t recommend it enough.

Sorry for the late reply. Using ZFS and replicating the VM first makes it really quick. Less than 5 minutes of downtime.

I’m using one on iOS called Memmy to type this. You get it via Testflight. So far it’s been near perfect.

I did the same a few months ago and was extremely nervous. I have a 4 node cluster running 30 VMs in production. After migrating the VMS off of one node I quickly realized what a pleasure it was to do it. No muss no fuss. Migrated the VMs back and continued on with the other 3.
