There goes the argument of non technical users falling for scams. The tables have turned!

I do wonder if this would be negated by containered applications

Folks that rent an Airbnb are often wanting more than a boring room (full kitchen, yard, washer/dryer), which is still without a doubt vastly cheaper than any hotel.

Sure there are shitty hosts with ridiculous rules, but those are things you should be researching in advance to paying.

I have stayed at Airbnbs across 4 states and four countries; other than one of them being cancelled due to plumbing issues, we have not had a single problem and each time it was far cheaper (~40%) and had more options than hotels.

Rabbits would be proud!

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

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:

Freedom units!

Mandatory for the admin creating weak passwords or writing them on sticky notes.

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.

So many folks on here are jumping on and claiming that decentralization is a one way or that people don’t know anything, but have failed to read the specifications themselves.

Servers SHOULD NOT deliver Block Activities to their object.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/

ActivityPub defines the Block activity for client-to-server (C2S) use-cases, but not for server-to-server (S2S) – it recommends that servers SHOULD NOT deliver Block activities to their object.

So as I mentioned before, Lemmy.world should be blocking those servers at the instance level, preventing it from sharing any data to any identified Facebook instances.

Sure this doesn’t stop Facebook from spinning up other instances, but that will improve a lot more effort on their side and will quickly be identified and blocked by the communities, just like all their urls for ads, api, etc. have been for years.

Anyone can do anything; the point is handing it over automatically and neatly into a database and ready for use.

There are also some method for disabling internet results in the start menu search; I will try to find the method I used tonight and share that.

Because we, the users of Lemmy.world, do not want our data handed over to Facebook

Start11 to bring back the windows 10 start menu is the only reason I am able to keep windows 11 as a daily driver.

I am still lost on how anyone thought the abomination of the windows 11 start menu and the inability to move the start bar to the side or top was a good idea.

Insurance companies are a new level of evil; they fight both the person and the hospitals to pay as little as they can; their practices are in large part what drove hospital billing to be what it is.

Sure, but then I doubt anyone will be coming after you for patents
