I had to check…

github.com/notepad-plus-plus/…/v7.3.3

O_o

Edit:

Yeah, it was real! Back in 2017.

notepad-plus-plus.org/…/v733-fix-cia-hacking-npp-…

Checking the certificate of DLL makes it harder to hack. Note that once users’ PCs are compromised, the hackers can do anything on the PCs. This solution only prevents from Notepad++ loading a CIA homemade DLL. It doesn’t prevent your original notepad++.exe from being replaced by modified notepad++.exe while the CIA is controlling your PC.

Are all these thousands of lemmy servers useless?

Correct me if I’m wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I’m a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache and the ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network...

I just commented on this in another thread: lemmy.world/comment/76011

TL;DR: The server-to-client interactions on Lemmy are a lot heavier than the server-to-server interactions, so even if you’re just using your own server to interact with communities on other servers, it should still take load off of the servers you would have been using directly.

On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I’d like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.

VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.

I’ve also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon’s too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.

Eventually I’d like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.
