VPS and piracy

  • Not just your instance. Every instance Federated with it that got a copy of your post is part of the chain of evidence. Don't plan crimes in the fediverse for heaven sakes.

    VPS and piracy

  • Given that the Fediverse is wide open, unencrypted, and your instance owner is no more immune to getting a subpoena from law enforcement than anyone else ... one might think twice about asking questions of the form "if I commit a crime can they find me" here. Even if your VPS can't detect it, you just left a paper trail here by asking how to commit a crime. :) Bad plan.

    Your Fediverse instance owner might consider deleting your post and perhaps your account to keep them from being the subject of such a subpoena in the future.

    Intel Exiting the PC Business as it Stops Investment in the Intel NUC

  • Breaking the industry out of the ATX motherboard rut was a great thing. Glad they did it.

    A "non-toxic social network" is just a fancy way of saying censorship

  • If one's politics are rooted in hate, then you'll certainly think you're being oppressed if politeness is enforced. That's a problem with one's politics, not with the enforcers. :)

    "God saw how corrupt Reddit had become and said to the Lemmy devs, I am going to bring floodwaters upon them to destroy all life. Make thee an ark and bring into it all relevant subreddits."

  • And then He said, "wait, Lemmy is developed by Tankies, whose beliefs are counter to Me. Let there be a Plan B." And kbin was born. And it was good.

    What "third generation" Trek is worth watching?

  • Give it a couple of episodes (like everything Trek). I was initially unimpressed with the first episode, but then rewatched it and a few more and were hooked. And I second the suggestions to watch Strange New Worlds and deprioritize Discovery and Picard.

    What country do you recommend for visiting?

  • Depends on what you're looking for and what languages you speak.

    Beautiful scenery: Sweden, Switzerland, Canada

    Japan and Korea are both lovely and fun. Only speaking English is a challenge but not insurmountable. I got around and had fun in both.

    (Source: me, US based, travelled internationally a lot for business.)

    Was the lemmyverse/threadiverse aware that Mastodon has been convulsed for the past 2 days?

  • There's nothing wrong with talking. What a silly controversy.

    Signs of the Reddit Migration Numbers - Top 20 Fastest Growing Servers on the Fediverse

  • Mastodon is to Twitter as kbin is to Reddit. Mastodon: a feed of posts from people and/or hashtags you subscribed to. kbin: a set of rooms (magazines) that you subscribed to. So kbin is more like a bunch of smaller bulletin boards / forums, while Mastodon is a linear time ordered list of posts from people/things you like.
