I believe the developer is in complete control of the pricing on steam, so it would be the developer being shady

there's an entire wikipedia article for this that makes it super easy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirated\_movie\_release\_types

kbin and lemmy are different softwares, but they are both used for link aggregation and the 2 softwares use a common protocol, so they can talk to each other. So there are kbin servers and lemmy servers, and they are all interconnected.

So now we can take this post as an example:

You are a user on kbin.social

You posted this question on /m/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world - this means the community you posted on is actually hosted on lemmy.world

lemmy.world then tells other instances that its federated with that someone just made a post on /c/nostupidquestions on its instance. what kbin calls magazines are called communities on lemmy, hence the /c/ instead of the /m/.

kbin.social and all the other instances will then also show this post, even though it originally was created on a different instance

How exactly does that prevent spam, vs just using other existing established verification methods like email validation? If the only goal is preventing spam, its overkill, and other web sites who also have to contend with spam don’t use it.

It's trivial to create new accounts and emails to verify those accounts. It is not trivial to get a new phone number since virtual numbers are blocked by the verification process.

Is it just me or does that "comparison" make no sense for this thread. It's mostly comparing vaultwarden to the cloud version of bitwarden, not the self hosted version. It only mentions the self hosted version in passing. It doesn't do anything to help someone choose between vaultwarden and self hosted bitwarden

So a reverse proxy is sort of like a phonebook or directory, it routes outside requests to the appropriate place. So imagine your reverse proxy is a receptionist, someone comes in and says "hey I am looking for plex.mydomain.com" the receptionist would then use the phonebook and say "ok if you are looking for plex.mydomain.com, go to building 192.168.1.10 (the ip), room 9000 (the port)"

Since you are asking about dockerized services, the networking for those can be done in several different ways, but the one thing that really matters is that each service needs to have a unique combination of ip and port, because only 1 service can live at each address. With docker, you could set up multiple services that use the host server's ip, in which case each container will need to be on different ports, or you could have it so each container has its own ip, in which case the port can be anything.

You're ignoring the giant green circle on the sign, which means you yield on green solid, not green arrow. Green arrows give you right of way. If you're in the US and drive, please learn the road signs

I believe in China red/green meaning is reversed for things like this, where red means positive/good and green means negative/bad

MongoDB has a modified version of the AGPL that they call Server Side Public License that might interest you. Specifically the change in section 13:

“Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

By my reading, it closes that loophole you mention by specifically calling out interfaces and APIs as also requiring the source to be available. At the top of the page I linked there is also a PDF showing the removals and additions they made to the AGPL to end up with their SSPL.

microblog is the equivalent of twitter. Mastodon is the main way people engage in the microblog part of the fediverse, but kbin also has features that allow reading/commenting on/creating microblog posts

Look into NUT, Network UPS Tools. It runs in a server/client type of set up. You'd install the server onto the device that has the UPS data connected to it. It then monitors the UPS status and can tell all the clients to shutdown when the UPS is running low.

Neither have sauce in them, they are more akin to a calzone

It sounds like what you need to do at this point is find what IP address your lemmy instance and mastodon instance containers are using on your VPS. you can do "docker inspect containername" and look for the IP address in there. it might be something like 172.16.0.1 for lemmy and 172.17.0.1 for mastodon. then you want to set up your reverse proxy to point lmy.my-domain.tld to 172.16.0.1:80 (or whatever port you set lemmy to use) and then mstdn.my-domain.tld to point to 172.17.0.1:80 (again, port might be different, i dont know what the default port is)

-IF- both of the containers are using the same IP, then you will need to make sure that they are using different ports. if they are on the same ip and same port, whichever container loads 2nd will fail to properly load, because when a port is taken on an IP address, it is reserved and nothing else can try to listen on that port.

Typically you'd have a server running on a device on each UPS, and the clients would be the other devices also plugged into that UPS, so when that UPS is low, everything plugged into it will turn off. If you have another UPS elsewhere in the house, you would have another server installed on a device there so it can monitor that UPS that it is plugged into, and tell the other devices also plugged into that other UPS to shut down. Without knowing the layout you are running though, there's no way to know if NUT is what you need or want.

So in your case it would likely be to plug your server and nas both into the same UPS, and when the server detects the UPS is low battery, it will tell the NAS to shut down. This would also require the switches/router/whatever to also be on a UPS to hold power of course. So then it basically becomes each little cluster of devices that need UPS would also have a switch nearby that is also on the UPS

The thing is, you're not putting a dissertation on one of these signs. You're already supposed to yield on a solid green if you're turning left without a green arrow, that's already the law. This sign is a reminder for the stupid people about something they're already supposed to do, not allow someone who's never driven in their life to learn the laws as they go.

You interact with communities/magazines on other instances from your home instance, so for that lemmy community, you'd go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world or search for it from https://kbin.social/magazines

You didn't keep your 2fa backup codes like they tell you to do?

Yeah, I think it falls squarely into your thing about a new term from open source as its not recognized as being open source by the OSI and probably won't be due to it being too restrictive, but the restrictions close the loopholes, forcing the software to be more free at the same time so it's kind of in a weird spot

Something that helps a little is if you manually go to the domain page (or click on a domain next to a post that shows the domain) you can block it from there. For example if you wanted to block lemmygrad.ml posts, you'd go to https://kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml and block it from there. This doesn't remove posts from the instance that link to other sites, but will at least remove all the text posts

This isn't quite blocking the entire instance, but it blocks any posts that are hosted on the instance. It would not, for example, block a link post to youtube that is posted to lemmy.ml

Other way around! Articles are the reddit/lemmy like content while posts are what go to the microblog and are the mastodon/Twitter like content.

To view only posts from your subscribed magazines, click the hamburger/3 lines icon next to your username on the top right and there is an option for subscribed.

As for how you know where you're about to click to, I believe there is a pr on the code git repo to add instance names to both the user and post so it's more obvious when doing cross instance interactions

And lastly fyi, kbin.social is an instance of the software called kbin

I'm fairly certain hardware based 2fa has been around since the early 90s maybe even earlier. It's not the maturity that's the issue, as I'm fairly certain its significantly older than application based, but that it's extremely inconvenient for the user to have to buy a physical key and keep it safe

What the dough is made out of isn't relevant to it being a noodle or not though, unless you think rice noodles aren't noodles because they aren't made of semolina, eggs, and oil and aren't typically cooked by boiling but rather by soaking in hot water?

A driver that doesn't know the standard road signs and road laws is more dangerous. Stopping in the middle of the road to figure out what a common sign means isn't being careful, it's being a bad driver and making the road more dangerous for everyone else.

Hm yeah seems so, so an article can be read on kbin, lemmy, and mastodon... while a post will be in kbin microblog and mastodon but not lemmy? And the other threads are on lemmy too

I definitely have the federation option on, I've even looked in a different browser just in case the setting was stuck off and was glitched, and the newest sort still only has articles from kbin.social or occasionally a federated magazine but from a kbin.social user. Do you see a lot of posts from other instances in your newset tab?

Looking at newest on kbin.social there are times where its multiple minutes between articles, if federation was working correctly that would rarely happen now, much less constantly since I made this post last night

Yes, on kbin, they are under more -> activity

homeassistant community store has a cloudflared add-on that works great to get it to easily work over cloudflare tunnels

I would also test by connecting to the vpn and trying to go to a service's ip or ping an ip on the network behind the vpn from the browser. I use juice and ovpn on my router as well and it works fine, so its unlikely to be a juice specific problem

Yeah it's definitely played up/edited to be worse but still if you pay attention to who he's yelling at, he only gets mad at people who deserve it... the people who just refuse to listen to his advice or get defensive and lie instead of just owning up to their mistakes or shortcomings or just simply stopped caring. For people who want to change or want to learn to be better, Gordon Ramsey is extremely supportive. There's an episode of Hotel Hell where there was a kid with so much aspiration and love for food that Gordon Ramsey offers to pay to put him through culinary school

The domain page is for the domain the post links to. For example, if you make a post that links to a youtube video, the domain for the post will be youtube.com. Since all text posts created on lemmygrad.ml are hosted on lemmygrad, the domain is lemmygrad.ml. But then if someone posts a youtube video to a lemmygrad community, the domain for that post would be youtube.com, so would not be blocked. That means you would still see that post, even though it was posted to a lemmygrad community.

The post's domain is the little url next to the post's title. Like in this image, you can see the domain for the top post is kbin.social and the bottom post is imgur.com. Even though that bottom post was posted to woodworking@lemmy.ca the domain is imgur, so something like that would not be blocked if you block the instance's domain.

From what I've seen, its because you are the first person to try and search for that community from this instance of kbin. That means this instance of kbin wasn't aware of the existence of that community yet, which is why it 404'd. After you searched for it the first time, this instance became aware of it and started to sync with it, so when you searched it again it showed up and you could subscribe.

Gordon Ramsey. Of course it's played up extra for the US market, but even still, pay attention to who he yells at, it's always people who are too dense to see what he's trying to tell them or chefs with huge egos that aren't deserved. He's much more nice towards amateurs and kids in his shows that feature those type of people instead of restaurant owners and pro chefs. Masterchef for example, he goes easier on the contestants in the beginning as they're all amateur/home chefs, but his standards go up as the season progresses.

Just fyi how a client handles multiple DNS servers might not always be you expect and just depends on how it was implemented. Some clients can just send a DNS request to all DNS servers at once and take whatever responds first, essentially randomizing which DNS server gets used
