Got it, thats very interesting. I already understood the redness of the shadow but had no idea how much more complex it is and that picture of earth eclipsing the sun makes it way more clearer.

Thank you very much, I would upvote you 10 times if I could.

So like the umbra has a “bright” edge compared to its center?

I think that was my mistake, I was thinking of the transition between the penumbra and umbra had a straigt edge when viewed from earth.

thanks

I knew about what causses the moon to appear red but I never really thought about sunsets/rises beyond “its the atmosphere refracting light”. That was a very nice explanation about them. Thanks.

I think it does. Thanks.

So in other words; That side of the moon is closer to the edge of earths shadow. Correct?

I get that, but if the moon is completely behind the umbra of earths shadow why is that it looks brighter on one side/edge?

Examples:

Not my pictures btw. I took them from r/astrophotography

Sorry, thats not my question. I misstyped solar instead of lunar so I take the blame.

But I agree that its quite amazing how perspective wroks between the sun, earth, and the moon. Earth is also the right size tho block out the sun the same way when viewed from the moon. Would be hard to believe if we werent experiencing it tbh.

Boris Katloaff?

I’ll look into the export thing but I think i will move to your instance regardless.

Im mostly a lurker and dont know how to code so the only way I think I can cooperate is by helping cover the costs of the server even if its just a symbolic ammount (im mostly poor too) Anyways, if theres something else I can do in the future I will. Thanks again.

Nice! Perhaps having a flair for long time users who frecuently post to the instance and have shown their compromise to its ideals and ethos. It wouldnt be abuse-proof but I think it would be fair since not everyone can donate and they (ppl making and sharing “content”) are what make a social network worth using.

I have 2 questions. Is it possible to migrate an account from fedia.io (mbin, i think) to db0 (lemmy)? and; How can someone without a bank account nor credit/debit cards donate to the instance?

Best of lucks and thank you.

Good to know, thanks.

Will look into square space, thanks.

Agreed. But stability and reliability would be a priority for this so like emuspawn said “cost of doing business” :c

Will look into it. Thanks!

That seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

So don’t take this as rude I know this is literally not what you asked, but…

No no no, this is the exact reason I asked. I honestly thought selfhosting would be better and easier once its all set up. Thank you very much.

As far as I know the website is not an indispensable part of the business but its not a static page either. Its gonna be like a landing page to (hype up the business), some catalogue pages to show their products, and a page with contact info (maybe also an “about us” page. Its mainly to look more professional and to have a bit of an internet presence. What would you recommend for that? Either selfhosted or commercial solution.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I dont think website uptime is a vital issue since it is basically just advertising, catalogue, and then links to their emails and phone numbers but it wont handle any type of sales or orders and I think its the only part that they can realistically self-host. Im aware of the static IP and bandwith issues, still, we have to look into the costs of that.

For the rest, Im looking into comercial options right now. Whats your opinion on proton for e-mail? (If you have any)

Thanks, I’ve looked into proton, seems like a good option for mail. Digitalocean I dont really understand it but it seems more oriented towards software developement. No?

I had thought about redundancy and backups but I wasnt aware of how much it would require. Thanks!

Thanks. Will look into those, they seem like a promising alternative.
