This is what I use Foreman and Katello for. Package mirror with x versions synced automatically with all my machines subscribed. Or it would be, if I ever got around to actually setting the damn thing up. I have a debian package repo and a few things subscribed, but I’d like to add more.

I think your best bet in this case is google drive. Most people have a google account, and if they don’t, I believe it’s possible to set it up in a way that it will let them upload anyway. I don’t think you’re getting out of the account requirement, outside of you setting up an anonymous ftp server in a vps or something.

OPNsense for the win! It’s so powerful, I love it.

Except, what it produces is very similar or identical to some copyrighted works, licensed under the LGPL, like in this case. You don’t have to copy a whole program to plagiarize someone

I think this largely boils down to the time scales required. A person copying your work has a minimum amount of time it takes them to do that, even when it’s just copy and paste. An LLM can copy thousands of different developer’s code, for instance, and completely launder the license. That’s not ok. Why would we allow machines to commit fraud when we don’t allow people to?

Lemmy by default will federate with all instances if you don’t put instances in the “Allowed Instances” section. I’ve found, it’s easier to federatte with all instances and ban the ones you don’t want. Otherwise, you effectively use a whitelist to federate.

I also use Jeroba, as it’s in the FDroid repos. I’ll look into those others you mentioned, but I’m quite happy with Jeroba so far.

If you think they’re not capable of if not already engaged in PSYOPS, I’d suggest you look deeper into targeted advertising and who is paying for it.

There’s also podman-compose, which I’ve been using. It’s not quite feature complete, but it’s pretty close.

Saving this for later, thank you very much for the detailed writeup. I might look into this for my main machine to partition the vpn tasks from the non-vpn tasks

You can also use reader clients - I use LiFeRea on linux, it’s in the app repository as liferea. It;s free

I’m liking it so far, the communities I’ve federated with are mostly chill and quite a bit of fun. That being said, there’s dark parts of the fediverse too. I plan on keeping my instance around for a while, but so far it’s just me and a friend or two, but maybe that’s a good thing?

I deleted my 10 year and 5 year old accounts. I didn’t purge my posts and comments, as I doubt they’re truly deleted from the database and I wanted to leave that content for people who aren’t reddit. I’ve moved to the fediverse, andi think I’m here to stay.

“People never quit emacs. They just die at some point”

Too late, I’ve invested too much time, money, and effort into setting up my own Lemmy instance so I can share the love of open source and federated projects with others. What happens if lemmy.ml is overloaded? Go somewhere else and set up an account, and you can reduce the load on their servers.

RSS readers are legitimately the bomb. There are a couple of open source ones in the linux repos, I use LiFeRea, although it’s interface is a little dated. If you set it up right, you only consume the content you want to.
