We are all doing better than the "glue yourself to things" people because they're moving things backwards, turning people against climate action, distracting from climate issues.

So you install your own server (apache or nginx or whatever) and also run your own postgresql from the same unmanaged space? And the server software serves both the php app and the database?

Thanks for answering my questions. I've always used managed hosting but it's becoming too limiting and I'm seeking to expand my options.

Do you use unmanaged hosting?

So you're running kbin.pithyphrase.net from your home pc?

I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting.

So what are my other options? And what are you all doing? Are there preferred hosts?

Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That's how I've always done it.

Whoa, I didnt know that guy was involved with reddit. He's the anti-spez.

Are Swartz and Ohanian still around? Are they all trying to cash in?

I can understand wanting to get retirement money out of your long-term project, but we're not obliged to stick around and assist in the degradation of a once-great platform.

Did spez create reddit or did they just hire him?

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

They were hilarious.

Shitposting is what ruined reddit, which would be a great place for serious discussion if it weren't for the shitposting maniacs who just can't let good people enjoy pictures of kittens and assertions of respectable politics without lampooning them with ironic memes and foul language.

If these fledgeling platforms want to compete with reddit then I say delete this sub so we can focus on serious things like Donald Trump and superhero movies.
