Not exactly a self-hosting thing, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this service. Is it worth it? A scam? I don't know. I don't really have the hardware to truly self-host a Lemmy instance (mostly because of storage restrictions), but I'd like to know if this service that seems cheap for what it offers if legit.

I know that this isn't a pure self hosting question, but I nailed .com domain for $1/year and was wondering if it's actually worth doing this. Any insight is appreciated.

Editing to add that I'd love to do pure self-hosting here, but storage is a real issue.

A little background: Through my teens in the 90's I did a lot of the things you may expect. I was a script kiddie on mIRC, made a tank game in Unreal Engine, and did some Quake modding. From 2002-2004 I landed a job doing Java web dev, SQL, and overall database administration because my father's friend needed someone that could do that. I was ok at the job, but not great. Being young, my hobby that turned into a 9-5 made me want to stab my eyes out and I quit.

With that said, I can understand a lot of what's going on, but it doesn't "click" anymore. I spent 20 years as a career machinist, but I physically can't do that anymore. Here's the rub - my twin brother is a brittle diabetic and can't work (lots of other stuff going on as well), and our mother is getting old (father passed this year). The only reasonable way forward that I can see in order to be able to support my brother is trying to get back into development.

When I stopped, subversion was what we used. I'm trying to understand Git, but it's a giant conceptual leap. I guess, what I'd like to hear from you all is a way to jump back in as quickly as possible in such a way that it may be a career.

Thanks

I am by no means a constitutionalist, but Kirk is right here. Go vote, if you're in the US. There has, arguably, never been a more important election in US history.

This video sums a lot of stuff up fairly well.

I'd like to thank everyone. By my count this is my 100th Lemmy specific video edit (excluding some stuff I did on mobile quickly). This has crossed two accounts and nearly a year's worth of a journey.

The plot is ok. The actors feel forced. Spock's makeup is ridiculous. It was cool to see Rand in a promoted position. The idea of a Captain Sulu is cool. There are some nice CGI space scenes (which I think the entire budget went towards). Overall it is very mid, and that is only if you love Trek very much. Despite the names involved, this might have been the hardest to watch "pilot" I've ever seen. I'm sharing this because of the archival aspects in doing so. But, seriously, don't watch this without at least 2 beers and 2 tokes.

Editing to add that we need Alana Sulu as portrayed by that actress. She's great.

Thanks to @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world for the idea!

I think I actually nailed this in one. I hope you all enjoy!

When two of my favorite things get memed together, I tend to put in some effort. Now with audio!

Thanks to @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world for the initial idea/ croossover.
