- Comment on Consideration to Defederate Hexbear 1 year ago:
Maybe we shouldn’t defederate because a user has an app preference and a feature preference that don’t match up?
If an app doesn’t have a feature you like, try an app that has a feature you like. There’s lots to choose from. In fact, there’s the web interface itself, and the ability to write your own scripts, too.

You can block instances too. That’s why I said block instances. Are you having a hard time reading?
- Comment on Consideration to Defederate Hexbear 1 year ago:
You can block any instance you like. Super easy to do so. Just click block instance and it’s like you didn’t even need to post this!
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
Lemmy admins need to do whatever it is they can to handle CSAM if and when it arises. Users need to be understanding in this because as I’ve argued in other threads, CSAM itself poses a threat to the instance itself, as it poses a threat to the admins if they cannot clean up the material in a timely manner.
This is going to likely get weird for a bit, including but not limited to:
- instances going offline temporarily
- communities going offline temporarily
- image uploads being turned off
- sign ups being disabled
- applications and approval processes for sign ups
- ip or geoip limiting (not sure if this feature currently exists in lemmy, I suspect it doesn’t but this is merely a guess)
- totally SFW images being flagged as CSAM. Not advocating against use of ML / CV approaches, but historically they aren’t 100% and have gotten legit users incorrectly flagged. Example
I just want folks to know that major sites like reddit and facebook usually have (not very well) paid teams of people who’s sole job is to remove this material. Lemmy has overworked volunteers. Please have patience, and if you feel like arguing about why any of the methods I mentioned above are BS or have any questions reply to this message.
I’m not an admin, but I’m planning on being one and I’m sort of getting a feel for how the community responds to this sort of action. We don’t get to see it a lot in major social media sites because they aren’t as transparent (or as understaffed) as lemmy instances are.

A hot air gun will fix that for you. Of course fixing it on the printer is better.

Notice how it says “home gas” on the side? That’s because this stores a gas, possibly propane. This isn’t a generator by itself. Where are these hooked up to?

Matrix is so complicated! It’s one of those high barrier to entey federated systems. No one on lemmy would even be able to comprehend federation.
Might as well just give all your data to china to be on the safe side.

- Comment on So why is .ml TLD going back to Mali taking everyone by surprise? 1 year ago:
You mean the country that owns and has always owned .ml TLD, which states rules you must follow if you want to register a domain with that TLD, which states the penalties which include forfiet of your domain name, surpised people when they did what they said they would do?
This is kind of interesting to see how the public views ownership. There seems to be an assumption that buying xyz.com is akin to buying a utility (we pay for water service to drink and drown or waterboard). This ain’t it. A domain name is a registration in a database on servers that need to be constantly online, it had costs, it has governance concerns and technical infrastructure that must be maintained. There isn’t a higher power here, no government owns the internet, but some governments do own their own TLDs. This makes it possible to have mali.ml vs visitbeautifulmali420.squarespace.com. It might feel like you have the power to buy fuckmali.ml and put turn it into goatse but mali can nuke your registration if they wanted to. How did these countries get the TLDs? ICANN. But don’t think ICANN is going to jump in and break their rules for you.
This sucks but ICANN has a solution… there are many many TLDs out there now. They all work the same: it’s just a name, point it where you go and it works like any .com or .org. or whatever. Fun ones like .zip and .xxx. grab one you like but be sure to read the rules when registering. Some TLDs do NOT allow private registration. Most country based TLDs (ccTLDs) require that you live in that country and provide proof of citizenship.
This has been around since the inception of the internet. There are alternatives to ICANN, but I am not positive you will want to use them because:
- your visitors will need to use these alternatives on all devices or on the router in order to access your site.
- legit domain holders may not have records on these alternate services but malicious actors might. If we change the IP to a malicious actor for apple servers at the DNS level because the TLDs arent using the root-servers.net, anyone using those TLD root servers could easily be hacked.
It’s not great, but ICANN starts the chain of trust upon which the internet relies.

- Comment on Help with Port Forwarding (I think) 1 year ago:
Sure… this was just said to simplify what is technically possible. Should you? No maybe not, for multiple reasons. Can you, technically? Yes absolutely. I don’t know what’s the limit but I know that if you have to ask here on lemmy, you might not be anywhere near that limit. Unless you are the go daddy.
- Comment on Help with Port Forwarding (I think) 1 year ago:
Tl;dr: you can add millions of sites to a single IP if you want. Very common in commercial hosting as well.
- Comment on Help with Port Forwarding (I think) 1 year ago:
+1 for nginx, although there has been some concern because nginx is developed by a group of russians though it is open source and appears to still be widely used. If this worries you, look into traefik.
Otherwise does your ProxMox setup run docker containers? If so you can use NginxProxyManager which has a web gui for configuring your virtual hosts.
At a high level what you need is this:
- all domains routed to your host (or home if self hosting) IP.
- that IP needs to have a reverse proxy server like traefik or nginx listening on port 80 and port 443 if you want ssl/tls.
- your app servers which run lemmy, nextcloud, etc can be anywhere on your network where your reverse proxy can access. You’ll need to create vhosts for each. The server uses the Host header to determine which IP to reverse proxy to, eithe lemmy.moorefam.net or nextcloud.moorefam.net
- the reverse proxy will get the content from lemmy or nextcloud and serve it via that IP and port.
- ensure your home router is port forwarded on 80 (and 443 if you want ssl/tls) if you want to access these instances from the public internet but beware, you might want to add a firewall in-between if you aren’t confident in your router’s firewall.
