I’ve been looking at this, we use Docker Desktop for local development on M1 Macs. Is there a reason to switch? Does it have a lower memory footprint?

Thank you, yeah I will talk to support next week. I like to ask questions like this in public so that it could potentially help someone else out in the future

Yeah they are trying to avoid public facing apis, that’s the major issue here. I don’t think it’s possible. I can get a definitive answer from AWS support.

I appreciate the advice! I’m thinking too that VPN will probably be the way to go.

Can you elaborate? What would it be polling?

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking too and I tried to convey that to the team. However they are still trying to move forward. The only I believe it’s possible is with public endpoints or a VPN. I appreciate the response!

I love and hate the idea of having a single ID on the internet, it’s interesting to think about.

Curious, what are you looking for in the ip info of a site?

I believe once a post or comment is federated it will continue to stay even if the instance it came from is no longer in service. instances are not “streaming” the data to each other, they send copies and store it in their own dbs. So this comment right here will have a bunch copies out there on other instances.

What kind of space is wasted? Genuinely curious. I only really use it on my iPhone. On desktop is the comments area too narrow?

I love it so much that I started contributing to the project on GitHub

I would join, I love them/him

Ooo never heard of Guix, just did a little research on it. I am looking to switch to a declarative distro as well. I seem to have the same tendency of breaking shit when playing around with different packages and running different projects locally. I have been looking at NixOS, have you heard of it and if so, why did you choose GUIX over it?

Also shoutout to Logseq, love this app. Open Source and privacy focused. https://logseq.com/

Yeah I dabbled in rust very very lightly lol But the front end is written in inferno which is very similar to react which I’m very comfortable with. All I can say is don’t fear another language! Or don’t let it be a blocker, it may take some time to figure out but if you keep at it day after day you will be amazed how it will eventually makes sense.

The rust backend, Postgres Db and UI are all available as docker images. The rust “lemmy” repo has a docker compose file (if you are familiar with the concept) allowing you to spin up the whole stack locally pretty easily if you already have docker installed.
