For context, Im used to working in MVC with .net core for webdev, which has everything all nicely contained within VS for better or worse. I believe Lemmy uses react.js and rust from a cursory glance, but im not quite sure what exactly is best. Im also curious what db software it would use

Im also curious on how a testing environment would work for this. I imagine youd have to host your own instance to test any changes to have access to data, but theres a lot here that honestly I dont know much about.

Is there any posts or documentation anywhere that would be a good guide to getting started on this sort of thing? I doubt development is going to be as seamless as developing in Visual Studio where everything is all from the same company, but Id imagine that there are particular ides that work better with the types of tools that manage this

Idea: Scrape all the posts from a subreddit as they're being made, and "archive" them on a lemmy instance, making it very clear it's being rehosted, and linking back to the original. It would probably have to be a "closed" lemmy instance specifically for this purpose. The tool would run for multiple subreddits, allowing Lemmy users to still be updated about and discuss any potential content that gets left behind.

Thoughts? It's probably iffy copyright-wise, but I think I can square my conscience with it.

I was looking into hover, namecheap, and google domains.
This is the first time I'm looking into this so ELI5.

Is any one better than the others?
Would I find issues with different DNS set in my pi-hole?

First off, I'm totally new here (Reddit refugee).

But I guess we will see an endless September after July 1st.

How can we (I?) create an "onboarding" server? or in my case: a lemmy server for (people interested in) programmimg.

Let's say I have some (pick one

or all):

• digital ocean droplet (vps)
• herzner vps
• k8s cluster
• ...you get the point

How do I get my foo.bar Lemmy server running?

• is there a docker-compose.yml or helm chart to get the services running on my droplet/cluster?
• how do i connect my server to other lemmy servers in the fediverse?
• are moderation tools available, or do i have to build them on my own? (are there existing repos i can join, to prevent reinventing the wheel)
• is there documentation available for that? If not: on what repo can I make pull requests for improving the docs? (i like writing my documentation in markdown + "material for mkdocs" that generates the github/gitlab/whatever pages)

thanks in advance :thumbs-up:

I really like the part where she talks about randomly remembering things looking like magic. I'm 15 odd years into my career now and large part of my debugging approach is that same kind of "randomly remember something relevant" magic that I can't teach the junior engineers I work with.

Github sometimes returns a 500, but after reloading it often works

ok, venting time.

VMware workstation has 3 network types and of them only NAT supports ipv6.

VMware 17 can only have one NAT network at a time.

the one ipv6 address that doesn’t randomly drop is the link local address.

but certain traffic like http doesn’t transmit over that network.

but I might have found a janky workaround.

if I change the subnet range in the virtual network editor it refreshes all of the IPs through DHCP.
