Be careful, that’s an AI generated review. Definitely try to find other human reviews before you buy it.

If you go through that user’s other reviews, while they are very funny, they’re also very AI generated. Tons of contrivances and the classic “and honestly?”
They were almost all posted on April 13th, and they all drop the “brand name” of the product in just really unnatural ways. This is 1,000% a bot.

Ah I see. I’ve gotten into some back and forth with the maintainer of Caddy about these build inconsistencies and lack of versioning, and he responded by locking issues on me… twice.
After that communication, I resigned to just keep things as they are because upstream is not willing to make the experience better for use cases like these.
He is impossible to work with, but Caddy is just really good :/

What issue did you have? If I can handle it for the user automatically, I can add a best effort attempt to avoid it.

Hi!
The project is still active! I just haven’t needed to develop any updates because it’s currently stable, and the upstream Docker compose template, which is a reference for my project, hasn’t changed in 9 months:
- Comment on YSK if you browse Lemmy on desktop, the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher script makes browsing between instances significantly less annoying 2 months ago:
Just being open source is not enough to solve this problem. You would need a record of your “home instance” stored somewhere that Lemmy would always have access to it. You can’t use browser storage or cookies, because that’s restricted in browsers on a per-domain basis. The browser extension has its own storage so it doesn’t have this restriction.
I can’t think of an architectural solution to this problem without a browser extension.
The closest alternative that could be upstreamed is what Mastodon does, which is prompt the user to enter their home instance every time they try to interact with something while not logged in. An upstream solution can never be fully automatic like a browser extension, but this may be “close enough.”
- Comment on FOSDEM 2025 - MapTCHA, the open source CAPTCHA that improves OpenStreetMap 4 months ago:
They explain it in the video. They already use algorithms to detect if things are buildings or not.
But if their algorithm can’t make a determination or is uncertain below a certain threshold, they send it to Maptcha to get a bulk human opinion.

They’ve been on some kind of emulation crusade then, because it looks like they just killed Ryujinx:
