The federation is community owned (which is why you see so many communists here).

Lemmy itself is not a single instance, it’s merely the technical development of the platform itself.

You are a user of the sh.itjust.works domain, who is owned by a real person.

There are bad Lemmy instances you don’t want to be part of, and the owner of sh.itjust.works has blocked that instance, you’ll never even know it was there.

There is no single author of a list of instances which are defederared, but many instances simply piggyback off the blocklist another instance uses (lemmy.world for example).

I jest.

A lot of people compare the fediverse to email domains. bob@outlook.com can talk to sally@gmail.com - no issues.

Imagine if there was an email service made by Jeffrey Epstein, for him and his buddies; LolitaMail.

It should go without saying every email service should block all LolitaMail communications.

That’s what defederating is.

It’s like federating, but not.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

BARGAIN!

Wow, so blessed to be the be the ‘board game guy’. I sure do love being dependable and perceived as not valuing my time.

This general attitude towards giving up when something becomes unfamiliar is wild to me, because in any discipline they’re even slightly good at, they’d take a minor hurdle as a learning experience, plus they have you to walk them through it, so it really isn’t a big deal.

This was made abundantly clear when I installed the Jellyseerr app (basically just a webapp) on my Dad’s phone, logged in for him and walked him through this process:

• Use the search bar
• Select the show
• Select the season you want
• Click request

“That’s too complicated I’ll just ask you when I want to watch something”

I sent him a Signal message in a new group called “Jellyfin guide”. It should be easy to find since I’m his only Signal contact.

Just follow the guide.

A week later, “hey can you download this for me?”

I made this exact post on Github lol.

The takeaway is this: Sonarr/Radarr v5 will solve this by setting the airtime, and restricting torrent grabs before that. There may also be a manual offset override (hours).

I still think the easier solution is to set the indexer to manually choose what qualifies as a dangerous file type.

I’m not even sharing files, I’m sharing mp3’s and some zips. Duh.

Where’s the option for “what’s a database?”

Sometimes mommy drops on her knees and let’s the denial of service attack happen, as dozens of clients simultaneously POST small binary blobs all over her modest server rack.

Oh boy, I sure do love the colloquialization of language and how those who were raised on a monostatic definition get upset about their favourite words becoming dynamic.

“Yeah, sure, I see no problems with that. Alternatively, I could just boost your characters to max level if you would like?”

IMO, look into the linuxserver.io fork of NGINX, called SWAG.

It comes preloaded with a bunch of fantastic addons for security.

Quite easy to get set up, if you’ve got an idea about how it works.

Love OpenWRT!

As a networking noob I spent more than a week configuring it to get it right, including needing to SSH into it because I flashed the wrong firmware (do not get NA and EU confused, the difference is enough to flat line your modem).

But in the end, I eliminated my bufferbloat with SQM; a feature the stock device lacked. I also set up a USB to act as expanded storage to install more software.

Exactly. If I want to see Australian porn, I’m not going to the aussie.zone instance.

Damn, it must be the Mandela Effect. My previous world-line had instance blocking.

Exactly.

I would like to see these categories in a cascaded list. For example, if there was a list for location-based communities, I could block “cities” and “countries” but leave and “continents” active.

This way I can still see news about “Europe”, but not the communities of languages I don’t speak.

I like that idea, but at the moment, Lemmy needs engagement with up-and-coming communities, so I want to boost content I think is good, not just from communities I’m explicitly interested in.

Also it’s a good way to find new communities.
