Windows: "We dropped support for that thing you bought brand new 5 years ago"

Linux: "We are considering dropping support for something that has existed for longer than you had"

Forget about Reddit. The shittier it gets, the better for us. It will also help keep aggressive haters out of Lemmy by accumulating them outside.

"typo"

It is very unlikely that someone is gonna bother creating malware for Linux unless it's a targeted attack

This is so good!. Haven't even updated yet, and I already see a lot more posts from lemmy.ml on my instance, and no more "Subscribe Pending"

You can't read documentation if there is no documentation

GitHub and GitLab are both public US companies, they are gonna happily comply with any DMCA request they receive

you can also accomplish that by turning off city's electrical grid

those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL

Standard RHEL server subscription costs 800$/year, a ridiculous price for an individual to pay (yeah I know it's called Enterprise Linux, but still)

those who want to repackage it for their own profit

Funny considering that AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a non-profit

The developer subscription provides no-cost RHEL to developers and enables usage for up to 16 systems, again, at no-cost

Until RedHat decides to pull the rug, just like it already did with CentOS

Also:

The first thing to understand is that you cannot renew your no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription for individuals after the first year. Unlike a paid subscription, the no-cost edition for developers is limited to one year.

So, what's a developer to do? Fortunately, that's easy: You can just register again. Yes, it's that simple. Once your developer subscription expires, simply re-register and get a new, no-cost subscription. Note that you must wait until your current subscription expires before you can renew it.

Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way

Yeah, I think setting up build and distribution infrastructure is not adding any value

so they can’t bork their system

not tech savy people: you underestimate my power

The check $LEMMY_HOSTNAME == http* will give a false positive if (for whatever reason) the domain name starts with http

If they would go as far as to defederate with your specific instance, you should seriously reconsider whether their instance or their community actually have any value to you

This license grants individuals the freedom to review, modify, and utilize the code for personal, academic, scientific, research, and development purposes. However, for commercial use, consent from the Any Association is required.

Here, it isn't open source.

It doesn't make a lot of sense for LetsEncrypt to spend time adding support for such certs, since both a domain name and a cert from another CA are cheaper than buying an IPv4 block

if I develop some special software for dentists or whatever, and I open source it, all I get is that someone else builds the code and distributes it for free so I can’t easily sell it anymore.

Are there a lot of industries that would accept a piece of software that comes without techical support and/or liability?

Going through suggested lists I can count the instances that have the reason "spam" on my fingers, doesn't seem to be actually useful (or intended to be) against spam

certificates can only be obtained for domain names

That is not true, nothing prevents it on the technical side, and even some trusted CAs sell them under certain conditions

Then we need enough communities and users outside of big player instances. The power is in our own hands.

Also, if they still do implement whitelists and make an application process more than just asking nicely, refer to my previous comment.

Inaccurate, this error fits on one screen

So basically centralized cenzorship for decentralized Fediverse?

I think it comes down to moderation activity being more public on Lemmy in general, since AFAIK on reddit removed threads are brought down whenever possible and do not have a link to the user

I would recommend Porkbun, been using it for almost 1.5 years after I had to migrate from Namecheap. Wouldn't really recommend the latter

what if there's a nipple, and cum is still on its way in the air?

I switched from GNOME 3 a long time ago, and emulating GNOME's workflow would be the last thing I would want

This comment is posted through my personal private instance :)

BitTorrent v1 does not hash the files, it hashes chunks (pieces), and they can span multiple files

I think it was in UCEPROTECT-Level2 or UCEPROTECT-Level3 a couple of times, but it wasn't an issue because these are a subnet and ASN level blacklists that offer paid "whitelisting", so no sane person uses these abominations anyway. My emails can sometimes end up in a Spam folder for whatever reason, but I don't recall ever having them completely bounced.

You can self-host GitHub too, but a license for GitHub Enterprise Server costs a lot of money

That is likely because you instance hasn't pulled the information about the community.

For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.

A series of VPSes running AlmaLinux, I have a relatively big Ansible playbook to setup everything after the server goes online. The idea is that I can at any time scrape the server off, install an OS, put in all the persistent data (Docker volumes and /srv partition with all the heavy data), and run a playbok.

Docker Compose for services, last time I checked Podman, podman-compose didn't work properly, and learning a new orchestration tool would take an unjustifiable amount of time.

I try to avoid shell scripts as much as possible because they are hard to write in such a way so that they handle all possible scenarios, they are difficult to debug, and they can make a mess when not done properly. Premade scripts are usually the big offenders here, and they are I nice way to leave you without a single clue how the stuff they set up works.

I don't have a selfhosting addiction.

Defederating just for the sake of defederating is, of course, something extraordinary. But having a reason to defederate != having legitimate reason to defederate. After all, instance admins are not almighty gods with infallible moral compasses, they are just humans.

Acquiring knowledge about the product takes time. Upstream has a better position just by being the one to create it and having all the knowledge about the product immediately, not after some time. Someone who decides to rebuild that would either have to fully maintain their own fork (and open source their work as well if the upstream has copyleft license), or upstream their changes, since reapplying bug fixes and new features requested by clients on top of the original codebase will take more and more time with each upstream change. Upstream can also restrict the use of their trademark, which would add a burden of marketing to downstreams as well.

Could also just buy a cheap VPS and just use that for just the Lemmy instance so I wouldn’t need a VPN

You can rent a VPS and host VPN on it

The file looks fine on my computer

You gotta be a software engineer 😂

• email - postfix, dovecot, roundcube (mostly unused), rspamd
• vpn - firezone for managing wireguard, v2ray
• web analytics - offen
• password manager - vaultwarden
• status monitor - uptime-kuma
• cloud - nextcloud
• music streaming - navidrome
• seedbox - qbittorrent with vuetorrent webui
• media streaming - jellyfin
• docker container registry
• firefox sync server
• lemmy instance

Their clunky and unpleasant Ui, but mainly this

It’s just not something you want to deal with because you’ll spend hours dealing with blacklists, spam, government requests and other BS.

What should I do to get all these? Am I hosting my mail server in a wrong way?
