I've lived in Escondido now for just two years. So still trying to find the best of everything in the North County. What are your favorite:

*Mexican restaurants / cafes

*Asian restaurants

*Ice cream shops

*Festivals

I especially like the Friday nite car show on Grand Ave, and the Renaissance Faire in Felicity County Park. Definitely looking for more things to do in the area.

edit: lists aren't working for me

Lemmy Instance on Small Private Server? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Excellent post, thanks. It looks like one of the bigger issues is with images, since they're significantly larger than text. I wonder if it's possible to disable image uploads, and just require links.

It did cross my mind if I could have one of my raspberry pis run it. Actually, if it is possible I'd do on an Odroid N2+. Hmm...

I'd like to contribute to the Lemmy community. I've been running my own private Linux servers for more than 25 years for things like email (years ago before all the spam), and as file servers, backup, etc. It's an old, not very powerful computer, running Ubuntu server, in a corner in my house. Is it worth running a Lemmy instance on such a machine? I suppose there'd also be issues of how much data is going in and out, and how that would impact my internet cable usage. Thoughts?

What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I just sub to the most popular one assuming it'll be the one to win out.

How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Not yet. I think Lemmy needs to mature a bit more and get more of the groups I'm interested in.

How do you typically spend your weekends? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Grocery shopping, going to the beach, farmers markets, reading, video games, catching it up on streaming shows, calling my mother, trips to places we haven't been before, etc. Also wife likes me to take her to garage and estate sales.

For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm using Jerboa and I can't figure out how to see the list of my subscribed groups.
