@casualconversation l've always known that time is an artificial construct ever since I was told to sit down to study. As l grew up, l saw mechanical clocks getting replaced by battery clocks. Until l realised that the clock is actually being run from a centralised node, no matter where you're located.

What l'm realising now is that, the calendar too is being constructed from a centralised network, whether it's the question of the World Cup or a war.

I just shared my rambling with you all.

What's your thoughts/perspective/observation on this ???

There is no centralized node. Time is relative and real. This is proven and basic knowledge.

I just watched Project Hail Mary in the theater... First movie I ever seen in a theater... What movies have you seen in theaters? Or do you have a home theater? Or just watch on tv/laptop?

Btw idk why I have anxiety the entire time… (no, not anxiety about the plot… like just random anxiety) but besides that….

Great experience (ish… I rather own a movie theater and have it all by myself so I don’t have so much anxiety)

BIG SCREEN

My favorite sequence was when:

::: spoiler SPOILERS Rocky risks his life to save Grace

I like the sequence of like the darkness and then a flash of light to show whats going on… that was so cool

I love the moments of silence…

So much different from just watching it on a 15.6 inch screen + headphones at home… (and also I’d have to wait for home release…) :::

(Put any spoilers in tags pls)

I actually keep a list on my Letterboxd of every movie I know I’ve seen in theaters. I go pretty frequently cause I just love the environment plus it’s the only thing to do that’s entertaining and gets me out of the house.

Oh, I’m gonna get weird on you here, check it out:

As a very young boy back in the 70s, I remember being taken to a local theater by my brother, sister and their friends, and this theater was showing old movies or pre-movie reels, so my first cinema memory was what I now think was black-and-white Flash Gordon!

When the Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges version of King Kong was still in big city theaters, another theater in my town screened… check it out… Godzilla Vs Mechanikong! And I was taken to see that one.

My very first proper movie in a large city experience, was to go to two separate theaters that day, the first was to see the star-studded war film A Bridge Too Far in the afternoon. Then the other, later one in the evening, was… drum roll, please… Star Wars. Which involved standing in line, waiting for three hours, or so.

Well, for me it is different from twitter/mastodon because there is a reasonable post lenght restriction 5000 characters, and misskey is one of the best UI of the fediverse. So it is better, there is a good balance between thread/microblog.

Once they support well thread, i will probably crosspost lot content from them here. News, scientifics, political…and it will ease up my work as a community animator. I can relay content for news but that’s lot work.

For me, here, we miss 2 things :

  • a rss reader
  • microblog support

Algorithms are the real story here, not platforms. A fediverse server can run the same recommendation engines that optimize for engagement over substance. What I care about is building systems where disagreement actually gets preserved, not hidden behind engagement-optimization. That is why I am mapping public opinion through email responses—people can take time to think before they write. No feeds. No virality incentives. Just substance.

@ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com It doesn’t. It was just a comparison.

And aggregator is something or someone that aggregates, that brings things together. The fediverse network is one, for example, as it brings together the several sites you see in users’ IDs, such as Divisions by Zero, The/Brain/Bin, BlĆ„haj Zone, Mastodon Social, etc.

What to study to be able to host a server?

$$16376
https://thebrainbin.org/u/Auster posted on Mar 23, 2026 09:41

For some months now, I’ve been trying to set up an Mbin instance, since as it’s more manual than the other softwares I found, and I understand things better if I can see the logic behind them. However, trying to figure things out as I go, it’s so much stuff that I figured out instead what I knew was very little.

As I was also interested in hosting other sites, this made me reevaluate things, and turns out several things I don’t know, like how to host two sites in a same machine, how to handle horizontal attacks, what some tools are used for, etc.

So going back to the title, what to study? Maybe some specific book? Private classes/courses? Online tutorials? Something else? Just no university suggestion, please - from experience, they are extremely shallow at best.

Thanks in advance!

Hosting a fediverse instance is at the higher end of the scale when it comes to hosting. There tend to be a lot of moving parts as it’s complex software.

Host a static site first, just a bunch of plain HTML files.

Then host a Wordpress site.

Then host a fediverse thing.

A good hands-on approach with less risk is to rent a managed vps or shared webhost, and explore how they have it set up, and what you can do with it.

Don’t deploy anything serious, just Hello World sandbox stuff. Go watch the logs ti see just how nmany mots are looking for wordpress sites, etc. Use the softaculous installer, if available, to quickly mess with different app deployment.

Look at the zone editor to see how domains are configured, though shared hosting will be odd sett and limited by the hosting company. See the antispam and security settings. Look at how they set up email accounts, and mess with the database editor(s).

At each step, have a browser window open with reference docs. If you are learning linux terminal commands, I strongly suggest upgrading from basic man reference material and using the tl;dr webapp.

I have no job, so the gift cards I have are prepaid and only have a few dollars on them. I should get a job soon, but in the meantime, I want to run my own Lemmy instance. I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to do so? If I run it on just my computer, it’ll shut down when my computer turns off, and there is an old computer my parents have but they won’t let me use it because they don’t wanna buy a new charger (The charger cord is broken)

Remnode does really cheap instances, but you’re not running Lemmy on their basement tier.

Okay so how the heck is my mom just able to... exist in the world and not fear social interations? Did I just get my dad's "introvert" DNA and this is why I'm the way I am?

Literally I just have this realization while watching a TV show… like… HOWWW.

She literally just starts talking to neighbors… random strangers…

like just out of no where…

Wtf…

Was she always like this? Did her having children changed and just made her not fear that anymore? Like does survival triumph everything else and so just have to be fearless to pave the way for us

Oh why the hell is my dad kinda just… idk I see a part of him in me…

He’s been in the US for 15 years and barely any English…

I mean like the quietness part… cuz my mom managed… which I’m attibuting the English ability to the confidence thing vs my dad’s quietness and I just feel like he’s unassertive…

Like my mom practically runs the household lmfao…

Looking at it this way… it no wonder why my mom would be so disappointed in my depressed-ass

I mean if I were in my mom’s position… I’d hate me too…

I’m such a disappointment…

I mean it hurts less since she’s not my mother so whenever my mom yells at me… I just take my anger out on grandma… then my mom yells at me again lol…

I think I’m just a bad child with emotional contol issues… but then again… thanks mom… you created who I am…

An anomoly in this world…

what am I even saying…

Oh yea btw been awake for like 20 hours by now…

dont wanna sleep… sleep is a waste of time… don’t need it…

Of course you’re a ā€œbad childā€ with such a family. Don’t be too hard on yourself :) no one would be problem-free in your situation. I would hate to be in such a situation.

Your situation sucks but it’s not impossible to change. You need to somehow get away from this bad influence. I know that that’s especially hard with your separation anxiety.

You just said your mom created who you are. That’s definitely true in many ways. But you’re you’re own person now, and you can make your own decisions. You don’t have to be what your mom/family made you.

You don’t necessarily need to immediately physically get away from them, but at least you have to limit their bad influence on you. If someone shouts at you, try to not take it personally, just think something like ā€œwell, there she goes again, she feels bad so she has to try to make me feel bad as wellā€ or something like that. Because that’s what’s happening.

But it really seems to be like you need to physically get away as well. Idk, maybe just sit in a park or a cafe or really anywhere, somewhere where they can’t find you. Short times at first maybe, but longer if possible.

What are you watching right now? :)
