The admin https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/db0 from the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance possibly made a solution that uses a chain of trust system between instances to whitelist each other and build larger whitelists to contain the spam/bot problem. Instead of constantly blacklisting. For admins and mods maybe take a look at their blog post explaining it in more detail. https://dbzer0.com/blog/overseer-a-fediverse-chain-of-trust/

He makes some other cool stuff as well https://neal.fun/

First account on fediverse was here. Glad I did. I like that the admin had contributed to the fediverse. Perfect place for me I've been downloading since limewire, BitTorrent, rapidshare and megaupload. meganova was a cool tracker, ddlvalley, oneddl, corebay, funkysouls, piratebay of course. Piracy and sites other sites like this and communities like thls helped me develop skills, how to host your own services to break away from algorithms, how to set up things like websites, pi-hole, like docker, networking, VPNs, I learned how to take care of privacy online. And I am able to share that knowledge with friends and family. As long as this lemmy stays a place where knowledge and information can be shared to others this will be a nice harbor for this semi old pirate 🦜 Don't defederate too quickly from places that might have different opinions. Most of the users here are tech savvy enough to filter their own feeds. I don't want to end up in an echo chamber. That what's Instagram and Facebook etc. is for. Oh I have a question, where we get some stats? Like how many users or new posts? What is the size, in GB? Whats the traffic? How many images?

I have repaired a lot of laptops in the past. The repairability depends on the price and the brand. But most of them are repairable. The issue is often first finding the part number and the correct part on the right website. With some luck the manufacturer has a manual available for finding part numbers and repair steps. But most of the time YouTube is where you end up. What I mean is, with other laptops the repair success depends on more variables. The framework laptops stand out because of the ease of the repair process and the success rate of the repairs. Finding the right part number and part online and the guide to actually repair the laptop and the actual replacing is also easy the parts are designed to be easily replaced. It is also possible to send them the broken part back for recycling, how they to that I haven't looked into yet. The i/o is nice the fact that you can change and decide later to add more ports For the average user this is not the big sell feature. It's the fact that you can save money and still have your device, have minimal downtime. I compared laptops of the same specs or very close to. The added price is between 100 and 200 euros. You'll be happy you spent that extra when your laptop eventually had a hardware malfunction. Or can use an upgrade.

I hear you. For what it's worth it is mentioned in the end of the blog post, the project is open source, people can run their own overseer API and create less strict or more strict whitelists, instances can also be registered to multiple chains. Don't mistake my enthousiasm for self run open social media platforms for trying to promote a single tool as the the be-all and end-all solution. Under the swiss cheese security model/idea, this could be another tool in the toolbox to curb the annoyance to a point where spam or bots become less effective. Edit: *The be-all and end-all *not be and end all solution

Thank you all for giving honest advice, I will stick with what I have, Gluetun and Windscribe.

Movies this week and a bit.

• The Holdovers, beautiful Christmas movie with just the right amount of Christmas theme. Not too much.

• The Mole, from Mats Brügger. Impressive real life undercover story to uncover the criminal deals of the north Korean regime.

• Dumb money, absurd to see the story in a movie. I remember the events while it happens the gme 💎 ✋ craze. Nonetheless fun movie.

Tv:

• I finally started watching peaky blinders.

• Law man bass reeves. They spend a good amount on this show it's looks nice. The acting of the main char is good. Sometimes others miss the beat. Unnecessary soundtracks where silence would serve the scenes better.

• Bookie, easy to watch, light, funny. good actors.

Oh no, I should book an appointment, again, where is they referral letter...I stashed it somewhere after I missed my first appointment 1.5 years ago by showing up at the wrong hospital department...fuck

I’ve never heard of The Mole, probably need to find it.

Also, Is Law Man Bass Reeves part of the Yellowstone series? I dare not to touch that Taylor Sheridan-verse, too many spinoffs, not sure if it’s worth the time investment.

I dont know if it is part of the yellowstone series. According to this website it is not, https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a45805998/lawmen-bass-reeves-yellowstone-1883/

Weird got a message saying I needed root I'm switched to libretube for now, it's good

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/db0 from lemmy.dbzer0.com just made a blog about a new tool he created to use a chain of trust between instances to whitelist instances in an effort to prevent spam maybe contact them about it? https://dbzer0.com/blog/overseer-a-fediverse-chain-of-trust/

True, I had a separate client for private tracker torrents it worked well no angry e-mails. However some torrents like non english movies/shows are not on the private tracker I have, and are very short-lived on public trackers, if you have any recommendations where I can apply let me know.

Does this require your phone to be rooted?

Yes 95% of the time, original English audio track with subtitles and then local language. Except for the french versions, if I remember correctly those only had french dub as audiotrack. Could be wrong though we never bought/had those. When my parents were still in charge of tv time they put on the original version even if the original audio was something other than English and turned on local language subtitles. To practice other languages.

What a shitshow.

Update from in the post from u/CardboardElite

Edit: Entire mod team received a 7-day suspension. I still cannot login on my account.

Edit2: Admins seem to be saying this was done to prevent subs spamming sexually explicit content. On r/MildlyInteresting we did NOT do this or intend to do this, as was clear in the update that the admins manually removed:

To be clear - this does NOT mean we are allowing pornographic, sexually explicit or illegal content. Our existing rules will still apply. We are simply embracing our proud history of user-curated lewd fruit and vegetable content. This history includes, but is not limited to, photos of oddly-shaped produce, landscape features reminiscent of genitalia, or other quirky sights that might cause one to raise an eyebrow. https://i.imgur.com/DwXEb8K.png

Edit3: The entire r/MildlyInteresting team has been unsuspended and reinstated.

ModMail from a different admin (not ModCoC) explains that we were apparently "swept up in actions" that they were taking against "communities that were encouraging sexually explicit content". Situation remains really unclear, and the fact we were a mistake does not excuse r/interestingasfuck being targeted or any of the other 5 subs.

Edit4: Please be aware that NSFW content on Reddit is opt-in. Nobody who did not manually opt-in to see "adult content" was exposed to it through r/interestingasfuck and other subs. We might have been a mistake, but that doesn't excuse the others.
