I started on 20, went to 40 and I've been here ever since. I get a bit of a lull at about 6pm, but it's not so bad.

During the shortages a while ago I managed to get prescribed some 50 and it was just a bit too much. I like a coffee or 2 in the morning and 40 works well with that for me. Any higher and it would buzz a bit.

I have the occasional break, usually when I forget to get my repeat. generally 3 days of aching and complete lack of concentration, then when I take it again I'll have a very very productive and late night.

Find what you're comfortable with, It sounds like you already have!

I once bent down to pick up a huge pile of laundry and fell asleep on top of it. Woke up a couple of hours later and got into bed for the night.

Searx NG worked well for me. I currently have Matrix running on another, set up with the ansible docker repo. Actually trying to set lemmy up on another.

I converted to pay as you go so they would open up the smtp ports so I could use postmoogle with Matrix but i still only use the always free shapes and still havent incurred a charge in roughly 6 months

I've been using the nextcloud RSS reader for a while now. Not the most feature rich, but it does the job for me.

I'm currently hitting an issue of lets encrypt failing to authenticate using the .well-known. The domain in the hosts file is lemmy.domain.com though I have a feeling this may have to be the FQDN. the base domain is currently being used by matrix to serve antoher .well-known so it looks like I'll have to add another page there somewhere.

I'm just going through it now. I'll keep you posted

I'm giving it a go at the moment. Have you looked at the ansible playbook available at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible ?
