Is Railway Hosting what people are using for hosting Lemmy instances?

I’m surprised how few options there are out there. I tried looking using the keywords “hub”," “dock”, and even " duplicator" but couldn’t find anything. Hopefully you don’t need to resort to getting a USB hub then just using USB adapters

I feel like it’s the occasional unpredictability that people are scared of. Whether it’s people being unable to tell if something was created by ChatGPT, if it’s pulling false sources, or people finding ways around set limitations and filters.

I am a bit confused about how this doesn’t effect Fedora Linux but does effect AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, EuroLinux, and Oracle Unbreakable Linux.

Thanks for the response. I was more referring to that specific example. The article talked about Microsoft dealing with word processors and linked that Wikipedia page.

Interesting article, thanks for posting. I’ve used a few Matrix servers that use bridges to Discord and I’ve noticed a similar effect where they’ll occasionally go down for extended periods of time. As nice as the idea is to use Element over Discord it’s a lot easier to stick to the mainstream where people are and technical issues are at a minimum.

I’ll admit this part did go a bit over my head.

What Google did to XMPP was not new. In fact, in 1998, Microsoft engineer Vinod Vallopllil explicitly wrote a text titled “Blunting OSS attacks” where he suggested to “de-commoditize protocols & applications […]. By extending these protocols and developing new protocols, we can deny OSS project’s entry into the market.”

Microsoft put that theory in practice with the release of Windows 2000 which offered support for the Kerberos security protocol. But that protocol was extended. The specifications of those extensions could be freely downloaded but required to accept a license which forbid you to implement those extensions. As soon as you clicked “OK”, you could not work on any open source version of Kerberos. The goal was explicitly to kill any competing networking project such as Samba.

One of the reasons I stopped using Spotify was the rather regular UI changes

how does Lemmy deal with deletion? Because the content gets mirrored between servers I see deletion as problematic, but would at least the biggest federation respect the users request?

I’ve seen a few posts elsewhere (outside of Lemmy) saying that Lemmy has privacy concerns in that moderators can see deleted posts, comments, and posted media. It’s apparently not actually deleted and remains on the server.

It seems like this depends on the instance and even then I don’t know how true what I read is

• Aegis Authenticator
• Antenna Pod
• Unciv
• Shelter

You could look into flashing a different firmware like DD-Wrt or Fresh Tomato. I use my second router to connect everything at my desk

Ahead of the Tuesday post, more than 300 subreddits had committed to staying dark indefinitely, SpicyThunder335 said. The list included some hugely popular subreddits, like r/aww (more than 34 million subscribers), r/music (more than 32 million subscribers), and r/videos (more than 26 million subscribers). Even r/nba committed to an indefinite timeframe at arguably the most important time of the NBA season. But SpicyThunder335 invited moderators to share pledges to keep the protests going, and the commitments are rolling in.

A surprising amount of big names there. I figured it would be more obscure/niche subreddits like /r/TaylorSwift, /r/SpaghettiWesterns, or something like that
