Unsure. Also unsure hat unofficial client you use.

I read this whole thread and didnt find a single person who uses teams inside ferdium like me.

“It’s important to note that any HEIC images will be converted into JPGs when uploaded to SmugMug, and LivePhotos will be converted into still images. “

Only issue is I have had my phone stolen once and dropped into a drain once by a drunk friend. So for me backup of photos is critical (with apple I have never lost photos even after this happened). My photo library is currently 205GB and the other phones in my family are 249gb of data.

So I have the 2tb icloud plan and the apple one plan so it is all shared (currently using 463gb/2.2TB) among my family. 4 people use these 2 subscriptions.

How am I supposed to get a service that auto backs up my photos daily for me, and for 3 other phones unless I use apples offering?

Genuine question. I have not been able to answer this question for over 3 years now. Other services I tried like amazon photo backup expected me to open the app to make photo backups. Makes the service pointless imho.

Same. And I never fucking will. I will learn how to fix it if it kills me.

Actually a good point. He should have just done that.

Hey copilot, what is virus.zip that is on my desktop.

Necromancers hate him! Healer discovers this one weird trick that delays the inevitable.

But why in the shower? Can you not do that out the shower? Unclear why shower is involved.

Oof

I feel like you have missed the points im my previous comments but if you just want to feel safer because in your heart of hearts this instance or that instance just feels safer then go for it.

My advice does not change. Make a backup account on another instance to avoid being burned. If you dont want to, then its now on you.

“i understand that, but think about it - its a random instance from a random stranger on the internet. you don’t know that person, and don’t know if he is actually serious interested in that project of running that instance… or if he will shut it down maybe a few day, weeks or months in the future.”

Have to be honest with you, that is how all yhe instances started including lemmy.world.

“so it feels safer to go to instances who are more “trustworthy” in the longterm security of a stable operation.”

There is no metric by which to know this yet as lemmy is new. Its not like there are 5 servers that are 10 years old and al the rest are just starting up. Just how it is.

I understand the logic but its actually backwards. A small instance like mine is easily paid for totally out my own pocket and requires no outside funding or maintenance because I can do everything. If too few people donate to major instances then the costs starts to run away from the owners. In some ways becoming too large is a problem.

You are correct. A lot of the internet is built on trust. This is no exception. I suggest having an account in more than one instance so that you are not too vested into 1 place.

No its not really as bad as that at all. The disk space is linear in that way but disk space is cheap. All the rest is not taxed heavily by federation. Do the big costs like CPU dont scale up like that.

Would help if users spread out over all the running servers because problem is just a few lemmy servers have all the users. For example the instance I run would be a simple proxy to use for all the content and then would mitigate issues when a big server had problems since just parts of the fediverse would be affected from the users pov.

This is a god damn embarrassment.

You font make any communities and clear the database of cached content thats no longer needed after reasonable amount of time (as its hosted on the other instances the data came from) eg: PGPASSWORD=password psql --dbname=database --username=username --command=“DELETE FROM activity WHERE published < NOW() - INTERVAL ‘7 days’;”

Does stop top month or top year since you dont have data going that far back. Obviously if you keep it then you need more disk space, memory and so on and so on.

Yes but only if you have a lot of users eventually. So your server can serve up hundreds of requests from several different federated servers (eg: maybe some content from beehaw, other content from lemmy.world) instead of 1 server (maybe lemmy.world) having to serve that same content 100 times from all over the place.

If its only you and no other users, then not.

I used this and the developer is very helpful. Works great. Helped me even upgrade to 0.18.0.
