As a Performance Engineer myself, these are the kind of performance improvements I like to see. Those graphs look wonderful. Nice job to all.

Neat! I’ll definitely check this out.
Hi there!
TL;DR: probably have an nginx misconfiguration. Check the nginx logs for errors.
You don’t need to install and run nginx on the host. It has its own container in the docker-compose.yml which gets started up on docker-compose up -d
If both instances of nginx are trying to bind to the same port, one will start and one will fail.
Is the lemmy proxy nginx docker container running? Check with:
docker ps or docker container ls. If the lemmy nginx proxy container isn’t running, try stopping the host instance of nginx (systemctl nginx stop) and restart docker lemmy (docker-compose down, docker-compose up -d), the try to access your site again.
I also work from home. WFH for life! Never going back.
Hell, I went for the longest time resisting the urge to get one, as I have a great gaming laptop (RTX 3070ti,) and eventually caved in. The draw of being able to play anywhere, anytime, plus the hype, is what eventually convinced me. The Steam Deck is pretty amazing, and worth every penny.
I hope it is released soon as well. I'm hoping some of the other open issues are addressed.
Currently there are 15 lemmy-ui bugs open, and 20 lemmy backend bugs open, against 0.18.0.
Upgrading my instance to 0.18.0 has caused a lot of problems. One major issue is the main web UI won't even load (returns a blank page with just text Server error), unless you manually remove the site's image icon via a SQL query in the Postgres database. So, upgrade to 0.18.0 at your own risk.
Also, this is not intended as a criticism to anyone. Just a warning that 0.18.0 is a bit unstable and waiting for 0.18.1+ is a safer option for the larger hosted communities (my opinion).
I think the safest option is to not host from your home network. If you aren’t up to date on security patches, you could potentially expose a lot of data from an insecure server running inside your network.
There are precautions you can take, like isolating any external facing servers from the rest of your network, for example, but I generally recommend using a hosted service instead.
From a real-world perspective, I suspect that the headskirts were originally created to avoid creating a full head prosthetic for guest actors. Once the character of Quark was created, the cost of a reusable full head prosthetic would have been less prohibitive.
Your suspicion is correct. Several behind the scenes videos and past producers have confirmed this as the main reason. Not only cost, but time needed to do the full head makeup.
Oh, good idea! Whatever works for you. I spent several hours yesterday trying all sorts of networking hacks to resolve the issue on my instance. I eventually found a combination that worked for me.
The concern here is we are all solving this issue in slightly different ways on our self hosted instances. Eventually, I hope the lemmy dev team releases 0.18.1 fixing all these issues for good.
Hi there! This sounds like you might just have a typo in your docker-compose.yml file. It might be helpful if you posted your docker-compose.yml contents here (be sure to remove any sensitive information).
Line 26 of my docker-compose.yml file is the volume block/map for letsencrypt. Did you perhaps mix tabs and spaces, or have one too many spaces in your indentations, in your yaml file? That's a no-no...
Personally, I setup my instance using the same guide as you, opting for the docker containers. There were definitely a few pitfalls to deal with.
