Nah, you can often move around games on external drives from computer to computer just fine and they'll typically work.

For my instance, I already have an MXRoute account that I use for my personal email, so I just set up an account on there and pointed Lemmy at that. I've been down the road of self-hosting email, and it is a dreadful experience.

Granted, that was with full inboxes and POP3, just hosting the send part might not be so bad. But then you have to contend with possibly being on spam lists, and those are hard to get yourself removed from. If you have some cash to let someone else deal with that headache for you, I fully encourage taking that route.

If you have more than one thing and you need to concentrate on them more, try something like timeboxing. Basically, schedule out your day, and steel yourself to follow that schedule. Today, you might play video games for an hour, then for the next 2 hours, you dedicate that time to video editing/creation. The goal is, you never spend more time than you've boxed on the one thing, and you don't distract yourself during that time with other activities, because you've set this time aside for whatever you're doing.

You're not entirely alone, I swap between games/projects/interests on a bi-daily or weekly basis unless something keeps me anchored. It's very unproductive.

Sorry for the confusion, but Moe isn't my last name, just the jamie part. I also own jamie.tools and jamie.today.

I'm on jamie.moe, I like to collect domain names that are just my name.

Any VPS provider worth their salt will have corporate clients with data far more valuable than a random person's vacation photos. So they probably don't want anything to do with that data unless it brings them legal trouble. Plus, not knowing can help shield them from all sorts of liabilities.

Admins who do play ball with Facebook could get pressured by other admins out of doing so. Great, you've taken Facebook's money, but now half the fediverse just shuttered themselves off from you.

It could be federation buckling under the added weight of the new users from the sudden mass Reddit migration. The instances don't seem to be defederated, and those lists are public as said above.

But federation failures from sudden increased load could explain it.

Edit: federated -> defederated, darn autocorrect

I'd been waiting to buy one for some time. I pre-ordered on release, but my turn came around the day I was moving, so the move took up enough that I wasn't willing to drop more.

But hey, a sale that lets me pick one up, plus a dock, for less than the price normally? I'm in.

Did they cause the French Revolution, too?

Possible, but I don't see it happening. Postgres provides functionality that MySQL/MariaDB don't, so if a lot of that functionality is used, the primary devs probably aren't going to want to take on the extra overhead of maintaining and testing it. In those cases, it would require additional rewriting on the Lemmy side to make it work seemlessly. A fork could likely do it, though.
