Do you still write notes with pen and paper? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That's true and it's worrying!

for the shopping list I have a similar hot key and after saving the list, it will be automatically send to my android (over local network, not over the internet, sharing it with dozens of companies) and I can open it with SimpleTask having it sorted by the shelves how they appear in the supermarket to not run like a psychopath back and forth.

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why someone should waste time to find their smartphone, power it on, input the pin for the sim, unlock the screen, find the right app in the app jungle, open it, find the "new note" option, which is hidden in a sub menu instead of using a short cut on your keyboard to bring up a terminal, which opens Vim and automatically saves the file as a note with the correct file name.

Full source code control, nothing included that you don’t ask for,... It still doesn't mean it is sustainable if it's about the invested/wasted energy.

I still don't understand how exactly Guix works, but it looks like it's like flatpak or other virtualization software, which has redundant software in it's containers and keep huge junks of software to update something (much bigger than updating single binaries), which costs a lot of energy to transfer over the internet.

I tried to follow a presentation about Guix, but I am more confused than before. It looks like people can't explain in simple word what Guix is or what makes it special.

Oh and can be productively used on a system powered exclusively by a $5 solar panel.

Okay, this part is really interesting, because it's pretty hard to power even a raspberry pi 4 with such a small solar panel. Which hardware do you use with it?

Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Thanks a lot.

I will only link to a fediverse post in the end of a blog article like "Here is the official comment section", because I want to keep my blog as static as possible.

Can you show me the link, I am curious on how this look like?

What exactly do you mean by that? Is Guix sustainable?

Because Pleroma is pretty similar to Mastodon, I don't think it will be good, because both use a time line and important stuff could go to the void if it was posted to the wrong time or it just goes down between a lot of content.

I switched from Wordpress to a static website generator (Pelican), because it was bloaty and something broke like after every update.

The first time I've seen kbin, it looked like the old unstructured and cluttered version of reddit and the old version only was a unusable mess or only if you like being distracted by all the stuff, which is going on around the content you're there for.

Every time someone says IIRC in a topic about communication, I think they recommend to use IRC :D

Lemmy and EU laws - could this be a problem? (lemmy.ml)

With lemmy it is possible to upload any image to the lemmy server (including archive websites), while writing a post without even posting.

This could be used to upload pornographic, right winged or other illegal content and use it or share it on other platforms, even if the content is on your lemmy instance.

In Germany advocates even use archive.org as an evidence that you had illegal content on your website, including the exact date.

This could be very expensive for everyone who is managing a lemmy instance.

Another problem with the upload is, that a lot of images can be uploaded, without even using them in a post, just filling up the server with garbage data. Attackers could use this to automatically fill up the web space and provoke a crash.

Who is the owner of uploaded and shared images and posts? If a lemmy post gets shared, a copy of the image will be created. If the image doesn't have a share-alike licence, the owner of the instance could get in trouble.

I am not an advocate! Those are just things I thought about, which could cause trouble if I would have a lemmy instance.

How much resources does Lemmy need? (lemmy.ml)
 

I will rent a v-server today with those specs: 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB disk space

I think it's enough to run normal websites and even a game server, but I have no experience with the Fediverse.

Is this enough to run a few fediverse instances, like Lemmy and Mastodon or even others?

How much resources does Lemmy need in particular?

Thank you for your help.

Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)? (lemmy.ml)
 

I am looking for a fediverse solution for a blog and I tried it with writefreely, but it has some disadvantages I can't live with.

The most important one is, that it should be possible to communicate with people within the fediverse. People should be able to comment on every article with a fediverse account, like it is already possible between Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube and others. But comments aren't a thing with writefreely and this is sad.

After using Lemmy for a few days I just thought if it is possible to use it as a blog and ask on lemmys github if it is possible to restrict a group so only one person could post new articles, but all others can comment. And the answer is yes!

But would it be possible to use it as a blog?

Imagine I would have a group called "utopify.org - Research & Development" and would post current progress about a blog series and you can only comment on it. Would it be possible and would it be something you want to see on Lemmy or would this just be an abuse of the software.

If all of this is just a no-go, are there other ways in the fediverse to have a blog article, which can be shared on the fediverse and be commented on?

I want to find the most sustainable operating system, because computers nowadays waste a lot of energy, because of data collection and data processing. Avoiding unnecessary processes and using resources in a mindful way could reduce the CO2 output on the whole world.

This discussion grew very fast and I put all links to other platforms in the end of the blog article.
