FYI your link is broken and is just leading to the archive home page

Having grown up in the commercial tv era is why I despise ads.

Looks interesting but seems to be getting abandoned unfortunately.

What I enjoy about floccus is that there is no additional app to interact with; you just save book marks as you normally would in any browser and it auto syncs the structure of your bookmarks to other browsers, so it is always easy and familiar to get to.

If you’re looking for a bookmark sync, check out floccus, a FOSS plugin for Firefox and chromium browsers that will sync your bookmarks to a cloud storage and across your browsers.

What kind of patch cables are you using here?

Really hope we see more privacy features like this; I never liked that profiles display so much information publicly without option to disable it.

One of the first should be saved posts- not sure why that was public in the first place.

In your account settings there is an option to show content by bots; unfortunately this only works if that account is marked as a bot. For the bots I have found that are not marked, I’ve just been reporting and blocking them. It took a few days but now I rarely see them anymore

I think you can use the markdown style embed

Requiring accounts with X days or X karma lead to subs where people would literally post just to get upvotes and the creation of bot accounts.

This is awesome! Did you install the censors in the breaker box?

It averages $25 per month - which is hosting 16tb of storage (running 1tb nVME parity and 3x 8tb HDD) to host 5x Virtual Machines and 33x Docker Containers (which includes MariaDB, Postgres, InfluxDB, and Redis containers that receive a good amount of traffic), and a lot of the storage used for media/photo storage/consumption.

With cloud storage, I was hitting $70/month and that was without having all the backups of photos/media that I now have running on the home server.

I run a UPS for my home server and have Telegraf collect metrics, which I then feed into Grafana (via influxdb) to create a dashboard that uses my local kWph pricing to plot daily/monthly/quarterly/annual costs to run the server.

It might not be super helpful for some, but it’s helped me justify hosting applications at home with NAS instead of paying for cloud hosting

Example of the Dashboard:

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.

That is the best part; such confident incompetence coming back to bite them in the ass.

When a vulnerability at this level happens and a patch is created, visibility is exactly what you need.

It is the reason CVE sites exist and why so many organizations have their own (e.g. Atlassian, SalesForce/Tableau )

It is also why those CVE will be on the front page of sites like https://news.ycombinator.com to ensure folks are aware and taking precautions.

Organizations that do not report or highlight such critical vulnerabilities are only hurting their users.

If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public

I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.

Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.

Sounds like you’re really missing the threads experience; why aren’t you there and posting 250 characters at a time?

It would not be that simple, considering they’d be running multiple instances and require more effort to aggregate, deduplicate, and stage that data - vs just having a single clean database for it

It does actually matter, because that is what is happening.

Head over to the gaming@beehaw.org link that you shared as an example and notice that the posts are 3+ days old and all the recent posts are from instances other than beehaw; this clearly shows that Lemmy.world has not been receiving any data from beehaw for some time already.

As for hurting Lemmy and driving people to threads, is a baseless argument; anyone wanting an experience that Threads offers is not coming to Lemmy; they would either already be there or would be coming from Twitter/Mastadon. Lemmy at its core is very far from what Threads/Twitter/Mastadon try to be.
