  I remember a social media platform where each user had a thread specific ID “curious rabbit/astonished baboon”, and users can discuss anything without any fear. The moment you created a new thread or participate in a new thread, your ID changed. I think it fizzled out eventually, but the concept was interesting.

  Centralization issue. However, it can never be as bad as Reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a habit that prevalent everywhere, even on reddit. Only 20 or even 10 % of people produce content and rest just watch/consume. If we can have that kind of split on lemmy, it would be fine.

  These people have been stealing our pixels for so long. Have you seen how much China has been stealing? There memes are twice as large as ours. But everyone has been crying to me “Sir, but pixies aren’t real.” THEY ARE REAL!. My uncle has seen pixies. He was very smart, the smartest person I know perhaps. So from tomorrow, the pixel tariffs are being launched. Or pixies. I don’t know, doesn’t matter.

  As per the article

  on my own network a whopping 66.6% of all traffic is blocked

  I stated it’s actually 66.6% DNS requests being blocked, not the raw bandwidth utilization. Raw bandwidth savings (by not downloading the non-zero ads) would be much lesser.

  Can’t we be nicer on the internet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. The payload of DNS requests is tiny compared to, say requesting a webpage. So there might not be a huge decrease of bandwidth usage reduction. However, having 66.6% less DNS requests is still a win. The router/gateway doesn’t have to work that hard because of the dropped requests.

  It takes 7+ years to bring a new factory online. more to get all the kinks worked out and at full production

  Not to take away from your point but they also have to

  • product is at par with the previous alternative in terms of quality
  • your supply chain is willing to shift to your new product
  • healthy supply of workers OR
  • good automation in your production line (automation supply should also be sourced from within the country)

  Once you have created this factory (which needs to be subsidized by the government in order to compete with the foreign product), we then apply targeted tarrifs so that people can slowly shift to the homegrown product. Doing all this can takes decades of careful planning.

  Tarrif is not an ON/OFF switch which Trump thinks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Learn Docker even if you have a single app. I do the same with a Minecraft server.

  • No dependency issues
  • All configuration (storage/network/application management) can be done via a single file (compose file)
  • Easy roll-backs possible
  • Maintain multiple versions of the app while keeping them separate
  • Recreate the server on a different server/machine using only the single configuration file
  • Config is standardized so easy to read

  You will save a huge amount of time managing your app.

  PS: I would like to give a shout out to podman as the rootless version of Docker
