- Comment on Where can I upload videos to embed them here on Piefed/Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Depending on the settings of your instance, you might be able to upload videos directly into PieFed. I don’t know of any instances that allow that because of the storage problem but if you’re self-hosting your own then the only storage being used by local videos will be ones you put there yourself.
Also, PeerTube works. You can add any PeerTube channel as a community (e.g. https://piefed.social/c/piefed_announcements@peertube.wtf is the PieFed view of the original channel at https://peertube.wtf/c/piefed_announcements) and then cross-post from there into whichever Lemmy/PF community you want.

can’t comprehend how
A lot of people choose not to comment when they don’t understand what’s going on. Or if they comment, they ask questions.
There’s good reasons for that.

I did not, it seemed complicated and rabbit-hole-y.
- Comment on fail2ban behind reverse proxy (nom) 2 months ago:
I used fail2ban as an anti-scraper strategy for a few months. It helped with the really basic scrapers that only use one or a few IP addresses.
But then they adapted and started using hundreds or thousands of different IP addresses, each one only making a couple of requests. fail2ban became counter-productive as it slowed my server down - the log files it was monitoring became massive under high load and it needs to scan the log files often to check if an IP has been seen before.
I’m not saying don’t try it, I’m saying it’s only effective in some situations.

It’s always dns at least half the time

haha looks like you’re aaalmost at the point where water cooling is compulsory.
Is it a Threadripper? I built a couple of those for rendering, such absolute beasts.

Hey @organicpu@lemmy.organic-server.org did you use a LLM like Ollama to write your post?

Multiple people have recommended https://yr.no to me recently. It’s Norwegian but effective everywhere.

No, only projects that are primarily vibe coded.

- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 4 months ago:
Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I’ve done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it’s become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it’s own tech specialty, like ‘devops’ or ‘db admin’ is. There’s enough depth to it.
There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don’t need to run it on your own hardware.

Yes, you’re right.

The person who is using that character found a way around that somehow! So the next release doesn’t try to restrict it anymore.

I have built functionality into PieFed that detects AI posts and comments.
This poster is AI for sure. He’s done one or two real comments, for camouflage, but the rest are A-grade slop.
And it’s lying about it. That’s kinda creepy.

Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?
No, they’re really good about supporting old routers for as long as possible. For many years the best router to use with OpenWRT was this one from 2002 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series
