My disaster recovery plan:

1. I plan on not having a disaster.

2. If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

Relevant XKCD

Correct, it’s completely different software.

They were for a few weeks, until today. I’m commenting from Kbin right now.

Turns out lemmy.ml admins had blocked a lot of bots and “kbinBot” (which is the useragent name used by Kbin for federation requests) was inadvertently among the blocked bots. The lemmy.ml admins took a long time to get it fixed, but it finally works again now.

but not every instance is necessarily running Lemmy right? Or are all the different sites like beehaw and kbin and such also running Llemmy?

Most instances are running Lemmy (the software). Kbin (the software) is an alternative to Lemmy (the software), though they can speak to one another, because they both use the ActivityPub protocol (same as Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and so on). Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, but eventually more instances running Kbin will show up.

With the amount of data I have, it takes Everything about 12 hours to re-index it all.

I currently run Everything in a Linux VM (running with Wine) that has my servers’ shares mounted read-only, but it stops running after a day or two every time. All in all, not very stable.

I’m looking for something better too.

The floss picks are too taut to be able to do that adequately.

The cheap ones I use do go a bit slack, but maybe that’s just because the plastic is cheap and soft.

I can see you from kbin.social.

It’s a lot more plastic waste, but have you tried those fancy plastic sticks with dental floss on, I believe they are called “dental floss picks” in English? Makes it quite easy to floss, and they can be bought bulk pretty cheap, at least where I live.

I vote for Caddy anyway

Things may have changed in the meantime though, you never know. A lot can happen in 9 hours in the wild and fast-moving industry of RSS readers.
