Had no idea, thank you!

Do Lemmy and PieFed support transferring subscriptions?
- Comment on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps thanks to the DMA’s crackdown on Big Tech. 2 weeks ago:
I doubt it. Most likely complying without complying. Then they dont put their monopoly in jeopardy. If people found out they could use any other app to communicate with WhatsApp users, then WhatsApp would have to actually compete on features and not “use it because everybody else does”.
Being able to check off the box of interoperability without actually interoperating with a competitor is just a trick in my eyes. I hope the EU commission sees it that way too. Given how they want to placate the US though and the concessions they have been making, I won’t hold my breath.
- Comment on WhatsApp will become interoperable with other messaging apps thanks to the DMA’s crackdown on Big Tech. 2 weeks ago:
It won’t be interoperable with anything people use, making it only theoretically interoperable. Wake me up once I can use it with Jami or Matrix.
- Comment on Reminder, you can subscribe/comment/like Peertube channels from PieFed 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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!
- Comment on The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal 4 weeks ago:
Probably the activists didn’t vet access.
- Comment on Firefox is Getting a New AI Browsing Mode 4 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.
- Comment on Firefox is Getting a New AI Browsing Mode 4 weeks ago:
Probably LibreWolf.
- Comment on Is there a formalized ban appeal process for the fediverse? Do I just direct message a mod? 5 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' 5 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' 5 weeks ago:
Is this the right format? I thought there was an alternative with better compression and it was opensource and without royalties.
- Comment on Popular Windows 11 requirements bypass app Flyoobe 2.0 is out with big UI overhaul 5 weeks ago:
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 1 month 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. 2 months 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.
- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 2 months ago:
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 3 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?

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! 5 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.
