A handful of examples shown and then a public vote for defederation seems wild and loose to me.

The collateral damage from this is a mix of unwanted drama (see this post) and a whole bunch of users cut off from another that did nothing wrong.

Lemmy is still young and small. These spats only hurt it’s community and image.

Yeah and no. When I moved from Reddit, which I also browsed on /r/all it would be an ever ending stream of content.

When moving to Lemmy the amount of content was much less, even more so in 2023. It’s been getting better and better since then.

It was a shock at first and my immediate reaction was of disappointment. However it quickly became apparent how addicted I was to the phone, and not having the content and an absolute refusal to go back to Reddit, meant I started living.

Lemmy has been an absolute plus to my life. I am grateful.

Browsing “all” I can get through “top 12 hours” in about 30 minutes.

Something that wasn’t posted here yet but I just got told about: https://fluxer.app/

A chat platform that answers to you, not investors. It’s ad-free, open source, community-funded, and never sells your data or nags you with upgrade pop-ups.

Over time, we’d love to explore optional monetisation tools that help creators and communities earn, with a small, transparent fee that keeps the app sustainable.

The original version of this has Lemmy on there. Why replace with piefed? Could have added instead of replaced.

Thanks for the explanation. And thanks for the article. I learnt something today.

I apologise for other users downvoting this post, seems petty.

Cloudflare have a large international network. Perhaps some users could access sites when coming from another region

I was looking at this yesterday. If you actually go and look at the results for your domain, it’s likely that it will only show you the subscription free details and none of the recent ones

I was disappointed gitea changed their default theme from green to blue.

And they actually removed the green theme altogether so it was a forced change.

Is gitea not stable?

Alternatively, keep your Synology, upgrade it and use this script to remove the restrictions.

comparing seafile to rsync reminds me the old “Space Pen” folk tale.

Your phrasing of the question implies poor understanding.

Your phrasing of the answer implies poor understanding. The question was why bare metal vs containers/VMs.

The reasons for dropping Spotify are obvious, however pretext of this guide is that Spotify doesn’t give enough back to artists. So the solution is to pirate it? I mean yeah sure, but don’t kid yourself with the pretext.

How about a guide on ripping owned CDs?

Yes and yes.

However I don’t use these solutions for mobiles. I use standard wireguard for that

There are loads of alternatives now so it’s a good time to have a look.

I’ve setup netmaker at home, and netbird at work They are both good solutions.

I think if I had to redo home I would swap to netbird. Both of these are fully self hosted.

Neither are as easy to setup as tailscale, but once you get over that hurdle it’s fine.

I hear you. I worked for an msp where some customers would refuse to invest in backup solutions and we either declined to renew their contract or they suffered an event and we were then setting up backups.

I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner. I knew I had good backups at home so the plan was to blow away OVH and restore from backup to Hetzner. This was the mistake.

Mid migration I get an alert from the raid system that a drive has failed and had been marked as offline. I had a spare disk ready, as I planned for this type of event. So I swapped the disk. Mistake number 2.

I pulled the wrong disk. The Adaptec card shit a brick, kicked the whole array out. Couldn’t bring it back together. I was too poor to afford recovery. This was my lesson.

Now I only use ZFS or MDRAID, and have multiple copies of data at all times.

I’m lucky enough to run a business that needs a datacenter presence. So most my home-lab (including Lemmy) is actually hosted on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd in the DC. I can then use the small rack I have at home as off-site backups and some local services.

I treat the entirety of /var/lib/docker as expendable. When creating containers, I make sure any persistent data is mounted from a directory made just to host the persistent data. It means docker compose down --rmi all --volumes isn’t destructive.

When a container needs a database, I make sure to add an extra read-only user. And all databases have their container and persistent volume directory named so scripts can identify them.

The backup strategy is then to backup all non-database persistent directories and dump all SQL databases, including permissions and user accounts. This gets run 4 times a day and the backup target is an NFS share elsewhere.

This is on top of daily backuppc backups of critical folders, automated Proxmox snapshots for docker hosts every 20 minutes, daily VM backups via Proxmox Backup Server and replication to another PBS at home.

I also try and use S3 where possible (seafile and lemmy are the 2 main uses) which is hosted in a container on a Synology RS2423RP+. Synology HyperBackup then performs a backup overnight to the Synology RS822+ I have at home.

Years ago I fucked up, didn’t have backups, and lost all the photos of my sons early years. Backups are super important.

How is blocking scrapers easy?

This instance receives 500+ IPs with differing user agents all connecting at once but keeping within rate limits by distribution of bots.

The only way I know it’s a scraper is if they do something dumb like using “google.com” as the referrer for every request or by eyeballing the logs and noticing multiple entries from the same /12.
