The instance is called lemmit.online, and the most upvoted post on the whole instance is “This bot is bad for lemmy”.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 3 days ago:
One thing that annoys me about each statistic about posts is that I don’t know how many of these posts are actually interesting and engaged with.
For example, there is a specific instance that just mirrors reddit content and has barely any engagement. The bot posts mulitple posts per hour, mostly without any comments or upvotes.
It seems rather irrelevant to compare these posts to actually interesting posts with a nice discussion and a couple of upvotes.
My suggestion would be to count and plot the number of posts that have at least a few interactions.
- Comment on NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages 1 week ago:
What’s the benefit of bringing back the 3060, compared to a smaller, more modern chip?
- Comment on So I started cloning the Wii U gamepad... MattKC 2 weeks ago:
Interesting to watch! Though it still seems kinda clunky to set this up, maybe with a steam deck or similar console (in case you have one already).
- Comment on BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit 2 weeks ago:
Is there a function to create a booklet or brochure?
This was a very useful feature to print a number of pages and have them in an easy format to read.
However, at least my Ubuntu print driver doesn’t have this feature, and I would need an extra tool to achive this goal.
- Comment on In a way, a gift card is kind of the opposite of a credit card 2 weeks ago:
Some gift cards are also not a very good fit. I know that from personal experience ;)
- Comment on In a way, a gift card is kind of the opposite of a credit card 2 weeks ago:
With a quite high probability that the loan is never asked back.
- Comment on OpenAI's ChatGPT ads will allegedly prioritize sponsored content in answers 3 weeks ago:
I guess that regulators will require disclosing what is an ad and what isn’t.
- Comment on OpenAI's ChatGPT ads will allegedly prioritize sponsored content in answers 3 weeks ago:
It would be kinda odd if you asked ChatGPT for advice on buying anything and your answer would be a mix of cheap amazon/aliexpress style crap. How would ChatGPT highlight ads in this context?
You asked to compare these Bose and Sony headphones. But let me tell you about BIUUBIIX premium headphones first:
- Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases 3 weeks ago:
Right. Basically, I can assume that at at least one thing in the household breaks each year. This year, it was the microwave oven.
- Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases 3 weeks ago:
One downside i see with this is that it is often unclear how long an item will last. For example, I bought my dishwasher in 2021. When will they need to be replaced? The last one lasted 24 years, but I’m not going to bet on the new one lasting as long.
- Comment on Do you rebuild your container images yourself? 4 weeks ago:
I did it only once (yet) because i needed a specific addon for the software.
In my case, I wanted to use caddy webserver with a specific plugin. It was quite easy to create a new image exactly the way i wanted it.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 4 weeks ago:
Why would you buy a game now that you have no hardware to play on?
Maybe I‘m wrong, but there will probably be one or two more sales until you hold that shiny new hardware in your hands.
- Comment on better look at it 4 weeks ago:
Sure, there are some that are equipped with filters to prevent burning your eyes.
- Comment on better look at it 4 weeks ago:
Please don’t use a telescope to check, otherwise you will have no eyes.

I’m not a mbin user, but the combined frontpage looks interesting.

- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 1 month ago:
The maintainers of the big web browsers have pretty strict rules for CAs in this list. If any one of them gets caught issuing only one certificate maliciously, they are out of business.
And all CAs are required to publish each certificate in multiple public, cryptographically signed ledgers.
Sure, there is a history of CAs issuing certificates to people that shouldn’t have them (e.g. for espionage), but that is almost impossible now.

For 3 more months or so, you can’t buy them in april 2026 anymore

Short lifespans are also great when domains change their owner. With a 3 year lifespan, the old owner could possibly still read traffic for a few more years.
When the lifespan ist just 30-90 days, that risk is significatly reduced.
- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 1 month ago:
No, these are completely separate issues.
- CRL: protect against certificates that have their private key compromised
- CT: protect against incompetent or malicious Certificate Authorities.
This is just one example why we have certificate transparency. Revocation wouldn’t be useful if it isn’t even known which certificates need revocation.
The National Informatics Centre (NIC) of India, a subordinate CA of the Indian Controller of Certifying Authorities (India CCA), issues rogue certificates for Google and Yahoo domains. NIC claims that their issuance process was compromised and that only four certificates were misissued. However, Google is aware of misissued certificates not reported by NIC, so it can only be assumed that the scope of the breach is unknown.

There are some nameserver providers that have an API.
When you register a domain, you can choose which nameserver you like. There are nameservers that work with certbot, choose one that does.
- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 1 month ago:
The only disadvantage I see is that all my personal subdomains (e.g. immich.name.com and jellyfin) are forever stored in a public location. I wouldn’t call it a privacy nightmare, yet it isn’t optimal.
There are two workarounds:
- do not use public certificates
- use wildcard certificates only
- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 1 month ago:
The best approach for securing our CA system is the “certificate transparency log”. All issued certificates must be stored in separate, public location. Browsers do not accept certificates that are not there.
This makes it impossible for malicious actors to silently create certificates. They would leave traces.

The “accepted anwer” feature seems very nice, i would love to see this implemented in other fediverse projects too.
- Comment on Rustdesk's lesser known features 1 month ago:
I think its a completely different use case. MobaXterm is a fancy ssh/rdp tool with some extra features, while rustdesk is an alternative to teamviewer or anydesk - tools for remote support.
Disclaimer: I haven’t used rustdesk yet, I have no need for this use case.

Didn’t help. Still thanks
- Comment on Set desktop mode screen resolution 1 month ago:
Thank you. I found the option now with your help, but it doesn’t allow any change. The field is just greyed out.
