  • Too much centralization of the Lemmy network happened. A big default choice instance, some others that are medium sized, and several hundreds of tiny instances nobody cares about.

    It does make more sense to have a community for an interest too, rather than an entire instance devoted to one area.

    I guess it works for porn instances but haven’t seen it work for any others. Porn is good for having alt accounts.








  • It’s actually annoying. In aws world, only aws solutions are even mentioned. I notified only after certification that there are many valid use cases for not using Ami’s for example. Aws pretty much recommends making a new ami for every little change you make on servers, and if you have a fleet of hundreds of servers and want to change a small config on them, that means building and replacing hundreds of Ami’s.

    Compare that to ansible that can quickly and in parallell make the change everywhere in seconds.

    The immutable infrastructure thing sounds really good in theory but has flaws in practice. The benefits are there but at a big time/money/complexity cost.
