I googled it after reading your comment cause I realized I didn’t actually know what it meant.

There were a few definitions but I’m guessing this is the one the person you’re replying to meant:

“deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).”

Idk why they thought someone calling out Nazis for spending resources on the Holocaust up until the very end meant that people are whitewashing Nazis though.

Aren’t a ton of Lemmy users from Reddit? That being said, I’ve had more positive interactions here than on Reddit, but I haven’t been on Lemmy that long.

Kinda unrelated, but if I restart my computer for whatever reason, will the containers and volumes be wiped out?

Idk, maybe? I’m a docker noob. How hard is it to redeploy a docker container and keep my photos?

Yeah the only thing I’ll need to backup will just be the photos. This machine is just gonna run Ubuntu server so I can try out a bunch of other self hostable services for fun. I’ll take a look into Borg though! Always appreciate any suggestions.

I just googled restic, so does it just create a single encrypted backup file you can upload to backblaze b2 cloud storage? I will definitely look into that.

For now, immich is just another safety net. I’ve got my photos backed up to iCloud photos as well as Google Photos. It’s not a price or privacy thing so much as a just in case Google or Apple decides to shut down my account for whatever reason.

I may skip running two hdd’s in raid 1 though if restic and b2 can restore all my files if the drive fails. Have you done this before? Is it difficult to restore to a backup?

I just downloaded their docker compose file and I see I can specify the absolute location on my machine so I think you’re right. Thanks!

List of top 21? Is Columbus #21?

I haven’t played too many valve games. The only complaint I ever hear about valve is exactly what you said: they don’t release enough. There’s only so many left for dead mods I can play.

Oh ya, I feel that. I casually follow the smash bros scene (mostly ultimate) and sometimes Nintendo confuses me from how hard they try to shut that stuff down. Going after Project M, maybe Slippy, melee, tournaments in general.

I guess they might be wicked greedy. Far from the worst gaming related company I know though. I mean just off the top of my head, I’m still a bit bitter about “Overwatch 2”. Paywalling heroes and calling it fair. Terrible battle pass. And the whole bait and switch with Modern Warfare 2. Promise a two year call of duty then rug pull after they made their sales. And the buggy messes that all those games come wrapped up in. Plus the whole sexual harassment lawsuits, but that’s a whole separate matter.

Maybe I don’t play enough Nintendo, but every time I’ve picked up one of their games, I don’t feel any pressure to spend extra on any microtransactions or pay more to get ahead of other people. I mean, I’m sure there are examples, but looking at other companies I’d say they’re decent by comparison.

ngl, I totally forgot Nintendo existed when I wrote that comment, I feel like they still put in a ton of effort into their games and are mostly still loved too.

Have there been any studios that have been loved, gotten way bigger, and didn’t become wicked greedy?

Oh wow, yeah I missed the headline lol. I wasn’t sure when I read OP’s description if post meant like API post request or like posting a tweet. Turns out maybe neither? But yeah scrolling past a few hundred tweets will go by real fast.

Yeah. Sometimes it feels like it’s just people patting themselves on the back for not using Reddit, which is completely ok, but I’d also like to see other stuff. Like from subreddit I used to subscribe to.

As much as I’d like to see an alternative to YouTube on the fediverse, I can’t see myself using it much unless my favorite content creators move on over there too. And I can’t see them moving.

400 posts a day seems like a lot. Am I missing something here? Is a post a tweet?
