I’m excited to see what the outcome of SUSE forking RHEL will be.
The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.
From this page:
Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:
CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)
It sounds like that’s just part of the game if you want to be considered “official”.
Maybe it’s just because I’m an American that remembers 9/11 and the anthrax scares that came soon after, but I completely understood the evacuation because of a “mysterious white powder”.
I think it’s OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn’t be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.
Pretty rich coming from the guys who overly moderate players’ private Minecraft servers up to and including banning players for saying a no-no word…
Powerless how? I left lol. I am not generating content for that website anymore which means I have taken something away from them.
You can change the default behavior of the Print Screen key to open the Snipping Tool (what you’re talking about). It’s in Windows settings.
It is pretty convoluted how you subscribe to communities across instances. I figured it out eventually, but I am seeing the question pop up all over the place across lemmy.
This is why Lemmy will never see widespread adoption, which may be a good thing.
If Lemmy can become a place for REAL discussion around hobbies and niche topics like technology (sysadmin, etc.), I would prefer to stay here. Reading the same canned replies over and over on popular Reddit boards gets really old after a while.
The problem is content generation. Without enough people interested in posting to promote discussion, Lemmy will just sink back into obscurity similarly to how Mastodon was fun to talk about, but hard to get people to actually use.
Note that these are just quotes from the disastrous AMA he held last week, not new comments that have been made.
If only we had invented a device that could scroll the web page… Some kind of wheel maybe? It could even go directly on the mouse.
Guess we’ll just have to suffer until then.
