Lemmy does seem to have enough content and user engagement for my needs. I've noticed engagement going up the past month but wasn't sure I was making that up in my head.

I really haven't felt the need to go back to reddit much. But the niche communities could use a lot more users posting and creating new content.

I consider this lazy programming. I've had it happen a few times but luckily it has been rare for me.

Oh that's slimy, hopefully you left a review calling them out for that bs

For me I really like serverless when I'm trying to build a proof of concept or demo for my personal projects. A lot of the services are on the free tier so I've built many APIs with user auth, websockets, and ton of other features for nothing in price.

It depends on what you plan on running and how much RAM each VM would potentially need. I run proxmox on my 11th gen NUC with 64GB of RAM, 8 VMs, 1TB nvme for VMs, and 500GB SSD for OS. I have had no problems for my workloads and have a bit more room for more.

Not sure how the happened haha. Thanks for the call out!

I use this with grapheneOS and it provides a great amount of customizability that I want. I've had no problems with the app at all the the past year I've been using it. I keep all the apps that require Google to function locked away and only use them when I absolutely need them. I no longer worry about apps constantly doing god knows what with my data while I go about my daily life.

I've got a lot of AWS stories as a consultant working with many companies migrating or modernizing in AWS. Not sure what would be most interesting to hear. My big screwups are usually fun to talk about.

In the meantime you can take steps to potentially limit your exposure to PFASs like drinking filtered water using reverse osmosis. Here's a 2020 study on the different types of filtration and their impact on PFAS:
