True.. But are people reviewing open source software and code to make sure they aren't malicious? I'm not. I haven't looked at the Lemmy code once, just saw there was a repo.

I think the bigger issue is what motivates the dev. If it's freeware, then the project probably isn't backed by greed VS passion. In saying that, I paid $3 for an android music app (Symfonium) and it's closed source. I absolutely love it way more than plex Amp and the dev is active. I have no issues with closed source unless development halters.

Thanks!

I looked into nginx for minecraft, but minecraft doesn't use http headers, so I'd have to open minecraft ports on the router. Would this alleviate that? What's the difference between this setup and using something like a cloudflare tunnel? Obviously, there is still some reliance on Cloudflare.

For backup power, you got like a generator for the server, or the whole building?

DAC cables. Essentially copper with the transceiver's on the end. Ideally, your ports are sfp, so you can decide to do fiber or copper. Gives you the most flexibility.

Thanks for the correction!

I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.

Wouldn't other instances have to subscribe to the community to cache the content? Although your instance may federate with others, I thought content wasn't shared between unless one subscribes to the other.

Ah, you know more than me then lol. Keep up the great work, glad to be a supporter!

Thanks for hosting Lemmy.world! Does Lemmy use a database? Until the software gets horizontal scaling capability, could we use a central RDS so the load isn't on the EC2 instance's CPU? Then we can use load balancing between multiple instances that pull from the same DB? Obviously, the db instance is still a limiting factor.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I made a domain on Route 53 recently, but I'm trying to migrate it to NameCheap so I can do DDNS through my Unifi UDM SE as I think I'd need to set up a lambda function to get DDNS working through a script for Route 53. Would rather have it integrated into the router os if possible. Do you have a static IP or are you using DDNS?

Thanks!
