If someone else makes the key to your house, they can make themselves a copy of the key to your house without you noticing.
Someday i will be able to send emails and not have people think i am an illiterate moron but not today.
You know you can copy and paste your emails into ChatGPT right?
The ELI5 is actually within the article. If you want to encrypt your mail so nobody else can read it, you have to use what ProtonMail is using or it breaks.

Nice case, can you tell us which one it is, please?
If I would use a Raspi as a desktop, I'd install Arch Linux ARM or Armbian on it, however Raspberry Pi OS is probably also a good choice.
Thank you for your efforts to keep the community positive and the site running.
Please take care of yourself and watch out that you don't burn out. The one thing which is worse for a community than a stressed admin/mod is a burnt out one.
Your post sounds like (I am not a qualified professional, this is not a diagnosis!) you're currently in stage 3 (of 12, so 25% of the way to the end) of burnout, symptoms being Negligence of one's own needs (social contacts, rest and relaxation are no longer as important as before. One has the feeling that one cannot take time for this).
If that's really the case, try to hear your own needs and take a step back once you feel it's too much.
You could create a post on [email protected], we'll probably see it. If we don't reply within a day, just ping me directly on here or Matrix (linked in profile). I can't promise anything though as I'm not the only one deciding on this, but as a non-default theme we can most likely integrate it after your tweaks.
no time to explain a lot right now, but I created an organisation on my personal Gitea where we'll probably make the configs public: https://code.tilde.fun/beehaw
most of the issues are nginx config (amount of workers, ulimits, open files, rate limits) and having to restart lemmy because it's overwhelmed and OOMs.
don't think the technical/backend admin team would scale well at the moment, but moderation is probably a huge time sink where you can help more efficiently right now. alyaza already posted the application form for moderators.
well, about that… it catches fire about once an hour and it's been interesting to try to automate problem resolution with scripts and clever rate limits. More on our uptime/SLA plans here: 📢 Buzzworthy SLA Announcement 🐝 (in !support by me)
The UX could be a bit clearer, overall
Feel free to add suggestions to the devs' Issue tracker on Github (after searching for duplicates). Could take them a while to respond since they're very busy bees preparing the next big Lemmy release right now.
Unfortunately you can’t; it would need to be implemented by the owner of the instance to make it selectable there
If you manage to create a polished theme we can have a look at integrating it. It's not that hard technically: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html

I wouldn’t want to have two tiers of people on Beehaw.
a small badge on their profile is probably cool and doesn't hurt a lot. On the R-site you got access to a special community once you got R-gold, so maybe that's an interesting option aswell.
ah, ye olde Beehaw switcheroo (:
Good analogy. Let's just hope this doesn't become a site of heartbroken sad people.
That's what I mean. There are [email protected] and [email protected] communities and a megathread on Beehaw, which should be way enough to talk about reddit, in my opinion. We should instead focus on creating content which isn't reddit. I know it's hard to part, and people are new, that's why I created this thread to create awareness.
probably people open three threads about the same thing because they don't know how to use the search function. That must be it. I will write a manual for this. /s
Why are you so obsessed with growth? Is it not OK if people discover the Fediverse without it being swarmed by new users? Is it the "number goes up" phenomenon?
I imagine this site isn’t running on a $200 Intel NUC with a desk fan tied to it.
Mid tier digitalocean droplet for 96€/month, will get more servers soon-ish after we checked the code improvements and horizontal scaling within the next weeks. No point in throwing money at a problem when you don't know in which direction you should throw (:
📢 Buzzworthy SLA Announcement 🐝
Howdy, Beeple! We’ve got some important updates to share about the reliability of our platform. We know how crucial it is for our site to be up and running when you need it most, so we want to keep you in the loop about our uptime goals.
Let’s keep it simple: uptime means the amount of time our site is available for you to enjoy. We’re buzzing with excitement to let you know that we’re committed to achieving a monthly uptime of 90% or more. That means our hive will be accessible to you at least 27 days a month.
Now, we don’t want to get your hopes up too high, so we won’t make any wild promises. In fact, our admin team estimates an even better uptime than 90%, but let’s be realistic and not sting ourselves with overpromising. Our mid-term goal within the next weeks is to reach a promise-able uptime of 95% — like having a beehive humming smoothly!
Currently we’re not planning on expanding the server capacity any more, since we’re waiting for some specific improvements within the Lemmy code and want to scale horizontally (multiple servers) more so than vertically (bigger server).
But that’s not all, folks! Our long-term goal is to achieve an uptime of over 99%, so you can count on our site being as reliable as a well-organized colony. We’re on a mission to create a buzzing social media experience for you, one that keeps you connected without any pesky interruptions.
Please be patient as we work our wings off to improve the stability and performance of our site. Your support means the world to us, and we’re committed to making our platform as reliable as a worker bee.
Thank you for being part of our busy bee community! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help you navigate through the hive and keep the honey flowing!
With warm buzzes, Your Beehaw Hive Administrators
You mean, like Discord? There's decentralisation which works (Fediverse) and decentralisation which doesn't (gated/closed off communities like Discord).
