- Comment on Am I getting this right? The vibe of different lemmy instances 1 week ago:
I run my own instance that has just two users. I Federate with who I want (including most instances you named). I subscribe to low drama instances like startrek.website and mander.xyz. I subscribe to communities from MOST of the instances you mentioned, but not a single one has drama (for example, no one on the lemmy.ml cybersecurity or selfhosting communities argues about politics… they just post and talk about those things).
I experience almost no drama. Two years ago, it was different, but I left those communities (but not even those instances) and just avoid engaging with those users (and it was honestly only a few very vocal users).
In my daily life, I’m involved with a number of protest and mutual aid organizations and I can tell you, the whole left is full of very vocal “my leftism is better than your leftism” people. But MOST people aren’t actually like that… just the loud ones. If you challenge them in their spaces, not only will you end up on the receiving end, they’ll turn you into one of them (I have been down that road a couple times). Not that they’ll convert your politics, necessarily, but they’ll convert your behavior. They create and feed off drama triangles and “I escalate, you double down, you escalate I double down” feedback loops. This isn’t unique to Lemmy. You can experience the same thing in your local hacker space co-op (ask me how I know).
Historically, leftist political and social discourse has always been like this, for all of history. It’s not something special about Lemmy, it’s in the nature of collective groups of humans interested in free expression, positive social change and social justice. We’re angry, we’re trapped in an abusive relationship with the Right and we all think we have the answers. The Left’s greatest strengths and values (diversity, creativity, expression)are it’s greatest weaknesses. Same is true of the Right (conformity, hierarchy, rigidity).

Sure, but it’s subjective. Like I’m Kantian in my interactions with LLMs for that exact reason. But I don’t expect anyone else to be.
I think the Kantian view can be viewed as “Good advice, but it’s still a personal decision” and we shouldn’t get judgy at people for the choices they make that don’t affect us when we don’t have the full context of their life situation. Especially when it comes to sexuality and kinks. What you do with your p-zombie in the privacy of your own bedroom is actually none of my business at the end of the day.

“I want to pollinate you and cover you in pine cones,” he whispered and she felt her sap run hot with desire. She shivered from more than the cool spring wind on her bark. His needles moved against hers in the breeze, tickling and prickling her deliciously and she could tell his wood was knotted and hard as his sticky sap dripped from it. She craved to feel him against her, branches and bark and overwhelming passion. And then she felt it, the microspores of his grainy discharge, carrying his potent gametophytes, exploded into her, settling among her needles. Her bark tingled with exquisite, syngamic release as her branches quivered in the cool spring wind and deep inside her ovules she felt his gametes fuse with hers. “Yes,” she whispered in the wind, “Take me! Fertilize me! Give me your nuts!”
“You know I’m your half brother,” he whispered as she shuddered in climax. “I don’t care,” she whispered back. “That makes it hotter.”

- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better 5 weeks ago:
I should have said “Post Enterprise.” Discovery lost me mostly during the section 31 season and completely during the time skip season.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better 5 weeks ago:
Somewhere in Season 3 is where I finally completely lost interest. It’s been slowly coming for me for a while. It wasn’t even a conscious decision, I stopped watching mid episode and haven’t cared to start again. I don’t even really remember what was going on (some Gorn related thing). At some point I had pulled out my phone and stopped paying attention.
Apparently, this season seems to be controversial, some people really love it and that’s great. Not here to hate on it or try to take that away from them. But I think post Discovery Trek really isn’t for me and I’m just feeling done.

- Comment on Turn linux server into a router? 2 months ago:
systemd’s networkd has a built-in DHCP server; check option ‘DHCPServer’ and section ‘DHCPServer’ for that (same man page as above).
Is that true in Debian? If so, cool. I did not know that.

I’m happy to answer specific questions as you dig into it. :) Good luck.
- Comment on Turn linux server into a router? 2 months ago:
This is extremely possible and I have done a lot of stuff like it (I set up my first home built Linux firewall over 20 years ago). You do want to get some kind of multiport network card (or multiple network cards… usb -> ethernet adapters can do OK filling in in a pinch). It also gives you a lot of power if you want to do specific stuff with specific connections (sub netting, isolation of specific hosts, etc).
There’s a lot of ways to do it, but the one I’m most familiar with is just to use IP tables.
The very first thing you want to do is open up /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and change the 0 to a 1 to turn on network forwarding.
You want to install bridge-utils and isc-dhcp-server (or some other DHCP server). Google or get help from an LLM to configure them, because they’re powerful and there’s a lot of configs.
Your basic iptables rule is going to be something like
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp1s0 -j MASQUERADE, but again there’s lots of possible IP tables rules so read up on those.
