3G generally refers to the 3rd generation of cellular communication (the frequencies and ways a phone communicates with cell phone towers). Phones can’t really be updated between them, the modems in them are made to support what they support and thats it.

3G is being shutdown gradually world wide to make room for better 5G speed and coverage. 5G is the newest generation of cell communication.

3G networks debut in 2001 and 2002. 5G networks started being deployed in 2019.

I’m glad lemmy’s fetching seems to be better: once a community is on your instance its there and you get everything except stuff from servers you’ve defederated with.

https://fba.ryona.agency/ is one website that can help, top search box searches for instances that have defederated from the one you entered, the bottom one lists the instances the one you entered defederated from.

It only shows full instance level defederation, not blocked communities though

I recommend avoiding political communities in general. too many extremists on either side of the political spectrum.

it looks like the blur nsfw toggle is finally in upstream lemmy. hopefully it’l be in 0.19.

btc is bitcoin yes. coinbase is one of the bigger exchanges so that’s fine

if you live in the USA crypto makes your taxes more complicated; the IRS wants to know when you buy and sell it and how much you got it for just like traditional investments.

In the meantime, if you want both reddit like and twitter like functionality, checkout kbin. Kbin federates with both lemmy and mastodon and has both magazines (their version of communities) and microblogging (like twitter/mastodon)

thats what their site says, at least when ran through google translate

first I’ve heard of it, but I’m skeptical of their claim to deliver security fixes faster than firefox.

I’m generally fine with it besides aggressive spawn camping

not in a shooter, but one of my favorite past times is chilling out camping a route between places with friends and “guild” mates in an mmo and just chatting and drinking while we wait for someone to stumble in. Sometimes people bring enough friends or heavy equipment to make it a fight. Its chill.

mind replying to the OP since most of us are on instances hes (likely accidentally) blocked?

By setting an allow list hes blocked every other instance not in his list

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html

Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to. BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances. Open: Federate with all potential instances.

Federation is enabled by default. You can add allowed and blocked instances, by adding a comma-delimited list in your instance admin panel. IE to only federate with these instances, add: enterprise.lemmy.ml,lemmy.ml to the allowed instances section.

all you need to do is refresh the page after the error message appears and you’re golden, no big deal

in some ways: they now sanitize input so things like the xss attack a while ago is much much harder.

will it solve the ddos attacks they’re experiencing? nope.

What would you do with that much storage?

sure, but there’s so many ddos attacks and other scans and probes its nearly required to put something in front of the server

It can be easy to be nose-blind to your own smell, trust me its easy to stink enough to be offensive to others but not notice yourself.

They’re doing you a favor by letting you know. Just take the extra moment and put some on in the morning. Just don’t overdo it and douse yourself in body spray; too much body spray is nasty too.

0.18.3 is bringing in more sanitization, probably got missed.

I poked them and they’re working on a fix

Update: fix is in and should be in the next rc. It does work ( built my personal backend from source)

if no one on your home instance was subscribed to the community, it wont get posts or comments. the first time someone on an instance searches the community it seems to just get a few of the old posts but it doesnt get their comments; if you or someone else on your instance subscribes then the instance will get new posts and new comments

it runs fine if you don’t cross-compile and build it on the pi itself ( or emulate an arm system using qemu or similar)
