Option 2 seems like the optimal idea, on paper, if Option 1 isn’t feasible, but Option 3 doesn’t really bother me, if there’s trouble with Option 2’s implementation. I don’t consider privacy at an IP-tracking level really that much of a concern. This is a social media platform, my privacy is my anonymity.
It sounds like maybe Lemmy itself coupd use some enhancement with regard to how and when it decides to proxy, and what it does when proxying fails. If we can get a better experience by swapping to Option 3, until such enhancements are maybe made in the future, that sounds fair to me.

The issue last year was with someone, or many someones, uploading CSAM (child sexual abuse material, I.E. child porn). Like, SPAMMING it out to a bunch of Lemmy servers, which then federated it out across the whole network, in REALLY high volume. Obviously, no one wants to see that, but the legal concern is liability. For some servers, depending on where they’re hosted, that means they can be held responsible for “hosting” the content, once it’s been federated to them.

I’ll wager “no” to your question. That sounds like something the Lemmy codebase itself would have to implement, not smething that’s just configurable.

Let’s assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.

Fullmetal Alchemist (both of them). The two main characters are basically the only teenagers, and only one of them looks it.

- Comment on shapez 2 is a big hit with over 150,000 copies sold in less than a week 2 months ago:
They took the genre and distilled it down to the purest gameplay-focused form that they could. And for an Early Access title, it could absolutely be a full release today. No bugs, no performance issues, nothing feels missing or incomplete, except maybe a few minor QoL bits. The success is deserved.

It sure sounds like you would like it. I will say that for me, everything about the game is fantastic, except for the combat, which is kinda terrible. Especially the boss fights. Feels to me like they’re trying to mimic a souls-like style, but really really overshot on difficulty.
Basically, I say go for it, but don’t hesitate to drop the difficulty settings, if you’re like me.
Also, get yourself a physical notepad.
Also, also, don’t feel bad about having to look up some stuff for the really late/post-game puzzles. One thing they toom WELL from Dark Souls is the idea of puzzles that are really made to be solved by the collective wisdom of the community, not just you.
Also, also, also, don’t disregard the language puzzle, completely. I did, and when I looked it up later, I wish I hadn’t I wish I’d at least have given it a shot, for myself.
Good luck!

friendly reminder that the game developer himself said this game ‘needed no female players’" and claimed “some things are made only for men”
I anticipate this game dying in a hot fire.

- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 5 months ago:
Agreed, my wife and I had that conversation recently, as it happens. Though, for some things, there are other benefits. Herbs is the best example, even the fresh, packaged herbs that you can buy at a grocery will be noticeably not-as-good as something that you picked fresh in the backyard 2 minutes ago. Dill, basil, thyme, mint, what have you. I’ve found the same to be true of things like bell peppers and jalapenos.

- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 6 months ago:
Main difference there being that switching cities means probably switching ISPs. You can absolutely carry over your IP address when you move between the same provider, if that’s part of your service plan, and that may well happen with some ISPs even without it being part of your plan. There just isn’t really much of a need for people to carry a static IP, except for some businesses, and I’d say the main reason is that people don’t visit websites by memorizing and typing in an IP. They do memorize and type in phone numbers.
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 6 months ago:
They do, it’s called an IP address.
Phones get numbers assigned to them by a cell service provider, in order to communicate on their network, which is basically the exact process for computers and IP addresses.
If you’re asking about the equivalent of like a SIM card, in the computer/internet world, that’s handled at higher layers, by digital certificates. And again, the process is almost exactly the same, except they don’t (usually) get put on physical chips.

- Comment on Women Who Code: Influential tech network shuts down unexpectedly 6 months ago:
The most recent annual report, for 2022, showed the charity made almost $4m that year, while its expenses were just under $4.2m.
A $200k budget shortfall with $4m revenue is not a “we’re insolvent” situation, it’s a “we need to cut $200k worth of events and other expenses” situation. I wonder what the full story is here?
- Comment on Legend of Zelda 7 months ago:
Gotta be Breath of the Wild, for me. Taken together with Tears of the Kingdom, the series’ storytelling and immersion has never been better, I think, and as a game, Breath of the Wild was the tighter, more-satisfying experience, overall.
