I overwrote then deleted all of my comments a few weeks ago—they were all back in their original form last week. I’ve since run the process again and already old comments are starting to reappear

In England we drink straight from the tap. I live in London which has incredibly hard water so it’s not the nicest tasting and it will leave white residue on the glass but it’s not bad for you.

Not at all. I find it useful for certain tasks, but I’m a huge introvert and spending a long period of time with someone physically exhausts me to the point where I can’t muster coherent speech or thought. Depending on the depth of thinking required too, it’s often better for me to do that individually then bring my findings to someone else to validate.

But I’ve already regarded it

He chose to ignore safety ratings for things like the porthole glass. He’s the one lacking class, playing with lives for money.

This rescue effort will cost far more than a regular rescue—a washed to sea boat, or someone overboard. This company charges huge amounts and is wilfully ignorant when it comes to safety and regulation. They, and anyone who agreed to their terms have to shoulder the blame for this.

It’s quite scary to see the volume of support for him under every YouTube video or Twitter post damning him. I convince myself it’s a bot army rather than actual support for him so that I can sleep at night.

Thanks for the great reply—I’ll take a look at your deployment script to see if that fits my needs. I only plan to use the instance for me and a handful of friends. Like you say, data retention is probably my biggest concern so I’ll look at the most sensible way to budget for that in Azure. Are there any numbers available from the major Lemmy instances? Consideration for retention policies seem like a bit of an oversight—I might do some reading to see what the plan is here.

Yeah, you’re right a full three nodes might be outside of my budget. As @[email protected] says I need to account for disk space more than CPU too, so that might be where my money’s best spent.

Me too—I was saddened when r/CitiesSkylines didn’t take part in the blackout. A community for a game that became as successful as it is in part due to the hard work of unpaid third-party developers should have been at the forefront of the protests

I found this really useful for locating equivalent communities in Lemmy. Hope you find it useful too.
