Yes, you just access it from an internal address.

An individual instance can be load balanced pretty easily, but that’s on the admin of that instance to implement.

Pfft - everyone knows you need a soul to get online

Don’t worry about Phoenix - they’re always blue

That extra .04 makes all the difference.

That’s what she said

Is it, though?

Month 5: Sound not working again because you read about Pipewire on the Arch wiki

Gender reassignment surgery

After those, the only logical destination is TempleOS

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I.E. Daddy IBM wants more

Having ADHD usually sucks, but at least I don’t ever have to worry about not learning, because it’s my brain’s absolute favorite thing.

Runbox and Proton for email, Nextcloud and Immich for photos.

The dev apparently used the RedReader app to test a “spoofing” method of access for a proof of concept, but they don’t want to use that method either, because it would potentially cause problems for RedReader, which they didn’t want to do:

If we do that, and cause a huge traffic boost under RedReader’s name, it might lose them their exempt status. I’d like to avoid that if I can - there’s no reason to paint a target on RedReader’s back unnecessarily (an independent, non-commercial app), especially since the equivalent can be done with the official app without the same risks.

The real problem for Libreddit instance operators is going to be acquiring an API key. It doesn’t look like it’s an automated process like most other services - you have to fill out a form, which opens a ticket, and wait for someone from Reddit to get back to you.

I run an instance, and I’m not sure I want to go to the trouble. But I’ll wait and see what happens.

At least Fark has a squirrel. A geriatric squirrel, but a squirrel nonetheless.

It looks like the method they’ll be going with for legal reasons is to allow instance operators to use their own API keys. This might be a good solution if you self-host your own private instance (easy with docker on a home network, no domain name required) with low traffic, but the Reddit API change will probably kill the larger public instances with many users, as those will definitely have traffic over the API limits.

If I found out the admin of the Lemmy instance I’m using was hosting it on Oracle I would delete my profile immediately without a second thought.

Agreed. I still feel dirty for taking Google’s side in that ridiculous lawsuit Oracle filled after buying Sun. Only Oracle would try to make money from licensing fees for APIs…wait a minute…has Spez been talking to Elon Musk AND Larry Ellison?

Yes, but you’re not hurting the employer when you don’t tip, you’re hurting the server.

Or they’ll just shut it down with no explanation whatsoever, even if you’ve met all of their weird criteria.

There are two classic blunders. The most famous is “never get involved in a land war in Asia”, but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go into business with Oracle when anything of value is on the line”.
