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).

This is great advice, and to the OP, don’t feel bad. You’re really not an IT person of any caliber until you have experienced when I like to call the “Production Incident Experience”, or PIE. IT work is a job with unforseen consequences and hurdles, and we’ve all run into them at one point or another.

This being a learning experience, do what we’ve all done and learn from it. Now you can set up logging, whatif, sandbox instance, whatever you have to do.

You’re on the road to becoming a good programmer - just learn from your mistakes, do your research on best practices, ask intelligent questions, and in no time at all you’ll be writing one of these posts yourself.

This is how my friend fixed her check engine light. Just put the official Car Talk electrical tape over it and problem solved.

Hello fellow midwesterner?

This is correct.

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.

.fan.

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.
