- Comment on Reminder, you can subscribe/comment/like Peertube channels from PieFed 2 days ago:
Why has Lemmy had such problems with this and piefed, the new kid on the block, just makes it work? I’ve been subscribed to the linux experiment since I joined and it simply doesn’t work. The last video I see here is from 2 years ago.

Wich ones did you apply to? Just so that we don’t recommend the same ones you’ve tried…
- Comment on European parliament calls for social media ban on under-16s 4 days ago:
Yes, fight the symptoms by invading everybody’s privacy instead of educating people and legislating against Facebook, reddit, and others.
This is the Christian way: the system isn’t the problem, you are the problem. Addicted to drugs? Weak willed! Fat? Weak willed! Sick? God’s plan, deal with it! Uneducated? WeAkWiLlEd!

Probably the activists didn’t vet access.
- Comment on Firefox is Getting a New AI Browsing Mode 2 weeks ago:
Mozilla needs to die and be reborn under the wing of better management and community drive, because they seem to have been captured by money hungry fucks. They dont give a shit about opensource. It’s just a pipe through which they can get Google money.

Probably LibreWolf.
- Comment on Is there a formalized ban appeal process for the fediverse? Do I just direct message a mod? 2 weeks ago:
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world, @JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world is right. You stumbled onto an extremely hot topic on the fediverse. Blahaj is extremely sensitive to it, that just how the community is.
If they dont want your identity (the current account you are using), just create a new one and use that one to learn their ways and become a good member of their community.
However, and I’m saying this out of completeness not because I actually believe this is what you want, if you just want to debate their points and break their rules knowingly, please don’t. Just accept that they have different preferences than you do. Life is too short to willingly spend time where you aren’t wanted.
- Comment on Another chance for JPEG XL? PDF will support format as 'preferred solution' 2 weeks ago:
Once you mentioned AVIF, I found it “FLIF”, but JPEG-XL is an extension thereof.
- Comment on Another chance for JPEG XL? PDF will support format as 'preferred solution' 2 weeks ago:
Is this the right format? I thought there was an alternative with better compression and it was opensource and without royalties.

The amount of effort people have to go through to get windows 11 on their computers, they might as well just install linux.

- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 5 weeks ago:
We should support wealth taxes. We should be screaming about them to politicians and anybody who will listen non-stop. So what if he earns 96M? If they were taxed adequately, it wouldn’t matter, but it isn’t. He’s going to buy a bunch of assets that won’t be taxed at all and hoard it to make more: that is the bigger problem.
Tax his wealth so that taxing his income won’t matter. That will wipe that grin off his face.

You can test it in a virtual machine like virtualbox or virt-manager. Then you can get a good feel for it.

c stands for community. I didn’t know on which server it is but it’s on lemmyworld !selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yunohost is probably more secure than you figuring everything out yourself. More people have a vested interest in keeping it secure. They have a minimal page on security but they have fail2ban, unattended upgrades,and a secure SSH configuration. If something is discovered, you might be vulnerable but at least there will be knowledgeable people fixing it.
Security is always difficult and nothing is 100% secure. The three letter agencies around the world have been hacked and they are in the business of hacking others. Hackers themselves get hacked on the regular. Using yunohost as a noon probably reduces the chance of you getting hacked.

256 GB of RAM? Wow. And game servers too? If that’s small, them I don’t know what you consider big…
Anyway, proxmox does fit your scenario well. Separating your hosted services into VMs or containers makes a lot of sense. And a few game servers also have installations specific to different distros, so instead of fumbling about with your specific distro, just creating a VM with the distro you need is way easier.
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 1 month ago:
I don’t understand this view either. What’s it to ya? You cant see what the person does anyway. There doesn’t seem to be a point behind it besides control.
Also, it simply is difficult to implement. You have to tell every server “do not show my posts and comments to these accounts”. Other servers can just choose to ignore that. It’s centralized thinking to believe the “feature” will work all the time.

Depends on what you want to do. For a small server, if you want to host multiple things, hosting them straight on the metal without putting a VM in between would be more performant. If your server doesn’t have much RAM and CPU to give, then getting rid of the emulation layer makes sense.
Can you tell me why you want to use proxmox and what for?

Glad you like it! If it’s useful to you, don’t forget to donate or at least say thanks to the contributors once everything is up and running and stable.
Don’t forget backups! Restic is in yunohost and should be useful for that. Yunohost has a guide.

Yunohost should be the software you’re looking for. Install stuff by clicking. Much less terminal stuff

- Comment on Fediverse Report – #131 2 months ago:
Crowdbucks sounds interesting, but is extremely light on details. How does it work? Are all payments going to go through Stripe? Is it going to support GnuTaler? Crypto maybe? Is it to be integrated into things like Mastodon, Peertube, and other fediverse services?
- Comment on Corporate inadequacy has rendered my favorite rediscovered gadget useless 4 months ago:
And somehow there are people out there that think it’s OK for this to happen to games too to then spread misinformation about Stop Killing Games.
- Comment on GitLab abandons federation plans! 4 months ago:
The comparisons you’re making are off base and it feels like you’re mocking something you don’t understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I’d suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec’s intro. It isn’t long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don’t understand.
- Comment on GitLab abandons federation plans! 4 months ago:
Git is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).
Git is, but what about everything else? When you clone a project on gitlab or github, does it come with all the issues, discussions, MRs, and so on?
I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth.
That’s what signed commits are for. Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse. Like now, you made a comment on a post on Fediverse@lemmy.world through your instance lemmy.zip. The same would happen with your comments, pull/merge requests, issue reports, and so on. There’s no need for a “central authority”.
- Comment on Meta Secures Bittersweet Fair Use Victory in AI 'Piracy' Case * TorrentFreak 5 months ago:
“As should now be clear, this ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta’s use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful. It stands only for the proposition that these plaintiffs made the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of the right one,” the ruling reads.
- Comment on PeerTube just reached its final goal for the mobile app fundraiser - 75k € - with a few hours to spare! 5 months ago:
“That’s stupid”. Great argument. “This content doesn’t exist on $platform ergo $platform is stupid”. “Be the change you want to see is stupid because it’s stupid!”.
Can’t wait for the content you’re going to contribute to peertube.

Always ready to complain. All these things need to exist in order to gain traction. You need to have content and multiple ways to view it. Complaining that there’s an additional way to view it is just unnecessary negativity.
If you think there isn’t enough content, be the change you want to see: make it.
