Foreigners driving around isn’t that uncommon, especially in Europe…

Sure it’s possible that if stopped you may get hassled more than usual, made to wait while the officer asks the station what to do but there’s no real risk of anything more than that.

No it’s pretty general. Check out the following international treaties:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Convention_on_Road_Traffic

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Traffic

As a benefit of these treaties, if I so chose (and were rich) I could even ship my car to Europe and just drive it around (up to 6 months) without really doing anything! It doesn’t need to meet most any of the EU car rules either.

Now if I tried to permanently import it, I’d have to make modifications like light colors and such to make it legal.

But really for visitors the rules are pretty lax. You need an international driving permit which is really just a translated license.

With the Geneva convention on Road Traffic they must recognize it, at least for visitors. However you are probably right if OP tried to move there and get a local license, they’d need to retest.

It’s not toooooo hard. But you will need a good little bit to get the feel for it.

And I don’t know how hilly Romania is but the first time your stall out on an incline you will feel embarrassed and likely honked at. And it will be all the harder to recover cause now you’re stressed about it.

First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

Second you’ll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server’s IP.

Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

If that’s not comprehensible to you, I’d really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I’d recommend starting a Lemmy instance.

It’s probably IN the US. I made a post about one I saw a month ago. https://thelemmy.club/post/24183750

Hope that I don’t start the early spread of New World diseases to indigenous Americans

And I’d be dead by the end of the week

I mean that’s a valid way of tea drinking.

Well for some items it’s definitely easy. Laptop for example just say it’s your laptop. No box or receipt you brought it with you. But it has to be like 1. And it’s still illegal.

Yes. But only one or two things at a time. It’s illegal but like you said if you just say you had it when you entered Canada you’ll probably get away with it.

If you come over with 100 laptops in your trunk you will almost certainly be forced to pay import duties on them.

Basically if you’re trying to save some money personally yes it’s possible. Under a certain dollar amount you can usually even do it legally as long as you don’t intend to sell it. But if you’re planning on making a business out of doing this and selling it in the US cheap then you’re gonna get caught

Hopefully not here

I do occasionally turn it on when there’s waves of spam sign ups.

You can compile iOS apps other ways… But IIRC to publish them on the app store you’re supposed to use XCode

You can be moderator of a remote community

removed documentation

1.0 is planned to release later this year with new features. They’re testing it right now on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/ (though it seems to be down at the moment)

The details I can see right now are mostly technical but I’m sure we’ll get a prettier list of features as release gets closer.

Thanks for the the hard work

Wait why do people want escape there???

I like the backspace there like Colemak has. I can do Fn-Backspace(capslock) to activate Caps Lock but that’s something I added to my Keyboard separately.

You can typically replace the battery inside the UPS (and should every few years). Looking at $40-50USD for “official” replacements, less for questionable third party ones.

Because as a headless server it’s likely to sit hidden for a long time. This and the always being plugged in is not good for lithium-ion batteries. If/when it starts ballooning will you notice? It’s a fire risk.

UPSes use typically lead-acid batteries like a car.
