You either have

• Easy to use
• Will eventually lose support
• May remain unpatched

or

• Require more maintenance
• You can run the OS of your choice
• It’s your responsibility to ensure it remains patched

I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.

I’m running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).

There’s a bit of a learning curve, which is the price I was willing to accept.

Every instance have their own ToS, each of them with their own threshold of tolerance with having to deal with potential piracy inquiry on their server.

You may want to have a dead man’s switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there’s the possibility that a forensic team could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can’t afford to lose), but it’s still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.

The stuff I have locally is mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.

Age-gate

Leaving a shopping cart in a parking space instead of bringing it back to the cart shelter.

I’m sure they’ll treat their prisoners according to UK’s laws.

I have the following, which I didn’t make myself

DontF-withPaste

javascript:forceBrowserDefault=(e=>{e.stopImmediatePropagation();return true;});['copy','cut','paste'].forEach(e=>document.addEventListener(e,forceBrowserDefault,true));

Purpose: Restore the ability to paste stuff anywhere, some websites will do this in their password field

kill-sticky

(avascript:(function(){document.querySelectorAll("body *").forEach(function(node){if(["fixed","sticky"].includes(getComputedStyle(node).position)){node.parentNode.removeChild(node)}});document.querySelectorAll("html *").forEach(function(node){var s=getComputedStyle(node);if("hidden"===s["overflow"]){node.style["overflow"]="visible"}if("hidden"===s["overflow-x"]){node.style["overflow-x"]="visible"}if("hidden"===s["overflow-y"]){node.style["overflow-y"]="visible"}});var htmlNode=document.querySelector("html");htmlNode.style["overflow"]="visible";htmlNode.style["overflow-x"]="visible";htmlNode.style["overflow-y"]="visible"})();

Purpose: Un-stick anything that remain static when you scroll, ex: website header

They believe that by attacking perceived woes (immigration, social safety nets, women’s rights, and the education system) that all will magivally become better for the average citizen.

They’re addicted to the fallacy of the American Dream™ to the point that they don’t see the larger picture, and again the oligarchy strengten its grip on a divided population, consequences be damned.

If God told you to bomb a country, then you have a serious mental illness.

Astroturfing doesn’t translate well IRL.

They don’t need anyone else to embolden Hamas, their complete disregard for the civilian lives does that by itself.

It’s outrageous that

• You’re not respecting your trade neighbor’s sovereignty.
• You’re using drugs as a pretext for tariffs, at least be honest.
• You’re asking us to enforce who gets in your country from our border, that’s your job.
• You’re not respecting your women’s bodily autonomy.
• You’re making light of your own Constitution, the Judiciary branch, etc

Partially, just because there is the ability to bridge it (ex: https://fed.brid.gy/), but I expect them to pull the rug at some point.

That’s because “Bot account” is enabled in your account’s settings.

If they make you feel happy, don’t listen to them. You may even get good enough to a point where you could make a decent living out of it, if not then you still learned something that could end up being useful when combined with something else.

You still need to actively moderate the instance no matter what, but having registration applications makes it easier to weed out most of the bad stuff. It also stops a cross-instance spammers who makes multiple accounts with the same name from posting until they get approved (which I check when the application form is somewhat generic).

Until they reach an agreement like in Canada.

1. Good point
2. The average Lemmy user isn’t even aware of the modlog. The UX could be improved by including the removal reason right under the post/comment.
