pihole, wireguard, qbittorrent, sonarr/radarr, Jellyfin, syncthing, NFS.

I’ve considered Airsonic but I haven’t found a good client that looks good and doesn’t behave weirdly. I had one launch about 500 threads trying to transcode the same song which ate up my CPU time on my server resulting in a stern e-mailing from my host.

I don’t think this is the purpose of federation. Threads exists and has a huge amount of users.

Meta will ensure that it grows rapidly and defederating them ensures that users looking to join the largest ActivityPub-based social media network will likely go in the direction of Meta’s services.

The way that instances win this battle is to offer better services and a better experience than Threads. We simply don’t have the userbase to kill Threads by defederating with them. When given a choice the average user will default to using Meta’s services… it will take time and interaction with them to convince them to leave.

Infinity is going subscription-only in a coming update. The dev is just eating the costs until then.

I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.

You can also mail them a letter requesting your data and they have to honor it 🤣

It supports YouTube playlists also, so you can just give it a massive playlist and let it go

It’s not a bug. You’re trying to subscribe to a Beehaw community.

What happened is that Beehaw has de-federated Lemmy.world. They’ve essentially banned, from their instance, all users on the lemmy.world instance. This was due to a combination of Beehaw having very heavily moderated communities and the influx of new users onto your (and my) instance.

Some of the new users were trolling the Beehaw communities (including user posting a picture of their penis in a Feminist community) and couldn’t be banned because they could just re-create an account on these two instances as they were running with open sign-ups (Beehaw requires manual approval of user sign-ups).

Because of these things Beehaw’s moderation team de-federated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works until they could work with the two instance owners to come up with a solution. As of last update, they had reached out to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works’ admin staff but had only heard from sh.itjust.works. They said they’re confident in re-federating at some point but have not provided a timeline.

Until then you will not be able to access Beehaw communities or see any posts from Beehaw users until the de-federation has been lifted.

Being privately owned by a person who is a video game enthusiast really helps. Gabe already has ‘fuck you’ money and just wants to make video games and gadgets (and, apparently, deep sea submarines!).

If Valve is ever sold it’ll go the route of every other publicly traded company.

Noticing a lot of suspicious activity coming from there…

It’s been ages since I did IT. If I had a user who wanted to run Linux then I knew that, on average, they were going to cause me a lot less headaches with random user issues so I wouldn’t mind being flexible. Endpoint security will be different, but a lot of network security is handled through network devices that don’t care what the client is.
