One Week by Barenaked Ladies is a mindfuck, as is REMs It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).

Do you have eave troughs there by chance?

I’ve got the DS923+. It’s replacing a very old but very functional QNAP that I’ve had for years. Alas, QTS or whatever the OS is called is slow and clunky and after using our DS920+ at work I made the decision to get a Synology.

Thanks boss, I’ll check that out. Appreciate you sharing.

Funny that you say that: my first problem was of my own making - I was using arm64 hardware and Lemmy doesn’t quite support that architecture yet, so I ended up getting a Synology myself this week. It’s awaiting disks and then I plan on moving Lemmy to that box.

Thanks for sharing that site - I’ll make good use of it once the drives get here.

The instructions worked out, but the troubleshooting steps need to be fleshed out more. Again, probably my issues, like DNS. I learned a lot though.

But seriously…

After spending all week installing Lemmy and trying to make it happy, I was losing my mind. I’ve finally got everything but pics working. I plan on troubleshooting it this weekend.

I’m being sarcastic, kind of. I wasn’t sure if I was going to stay a Lemmy fan amidst the painful set up - even with Docker compose and following all of the instructions, I was struggling to self-host it.

I am still a Lemmy fan and I understand that I should do less complaining and more contributing, so I am going to write up my experience getting it running once I get the pictrs stuff working. I love the federation and want to help it thrive.
