- Comment on How are you dealing with the UK's Online Safety Act, that comes into effect this March? 1 day ago:
Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, meta and X are a cesspool without moderation or a thought for the users wellbeing, and deserve tidying up. But it’s going to kill spaces where people can express themselves, and drive UK users underground.
Now would be a good time to start a VPN business targeted to UK users. Actually…

If you’re using cloudflare you can block counties via that.
I’m also in the UK and run an instance - the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing. The stuff that actually mattered hadn’t even been released by OFCOM last time I bothered looking, such as the risk assessment.
I guess we’ll know more when they release the guidance on age verification - that will be what kills most sites off if they insist its required for all social media

I’d always say PopOS for newbies to linux with nvidia cards, although admittedly its been a while since I’ve been on pop so I don’t know if that’s changed

- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 5 weeks ago:
It doesn’t impact you, your viewpoint it entirely irrelevant. Nobody who is disabled will suddenly be euthanised, and the links you provided are summed up as “we want more dignity, fuck everyone else until we get ours” which i don’t respect.
As someone with lived experience of a family member who would’ve benefitted from this bill as I watched them take 3 months to die, forgetting who their own family members where, constantly being given incredibly strong painkillers, spending hours in convulsions as the tumors ate away at their brain, I can confidently say you are the one who should listen to people who this actually impacts, while they’re still able to advocate for themselves.
- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 5 weeks ago:
“this is great, I’d rather die than be disabled”
Except, the bill is about people on end of life pathways having dignity in their deaths, not anyone choosing to just end it because they don’t like their circumstances.
How society treats disabled people is terrible, I agree, but that isn’t what this bill is about
- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 5 weeks ago:
Most people I know (me included) regard this as a good thing. We treat pets better than we treat people.
There are issues with the NHS, sure - but they don’t, and shouldn’t, stop us bringing dignity and choice to people’s deaths.

Epic also tried (somewhat succeeded?) In bringing exclusivity to PC, a practice which should be banned.

I should probably add a clause to the ToS specifically around screen-dwelling monsters and something about forced arbitration. It’s what all the cool companies are doing.

I don’t know much about SimpleX - With a brief search, it wouldn’t have feature parity with the matrix room (uptimekuma doesnt seem to support alerts with simplex for a start) but I’ll have more of a look at it.

Do you convert uploads to webp via Pictrs? That can help to keep the file sizes down :)

- Comment on Anyone know what happened to meanwhileongrad 2 months ago:
Top mod got banned from lemmy.zip, which had the consequence of banning their community.
I’ve had a look and restored it for now.

Yeah its a good shout - its just a bit expensive for what we can afford vs donations. Its not my area of expertise by a long shot, but I’d love to get there. Lemmy already supports this, just a case of getting the infrastructure to do it.

- Comment on Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user? 3 months ago:
There are additional costs that aren’t factored in (although they’re not specifically lemmy, and I pay for them myself rather than use donations) such as a very cheap vps for our status.lemmy.zip page and i got a 3 year deal for an external email provider for less than some email providers wanted a month.
Our server is the same one feddit.uk use (a hetzner auction server) although lemmy.zips I think was a touch more expensive per month. But it’s got a lot of room for growth.

No, not them visiting their own instance for example.
What I think this is made up of is the activities created by users on other instances, i.e. if someone makes a comment on their own instance but we’re federated with it, we get a copy of that activity and that counts towards this traffic.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update September 2024 3 months ago:
I don’t know what’s happening in Hong Kong, but lemmy.world and lemm.ee and some others are hosted in Finland (as is Lemmy.zip now!) because of Hetzner, so that’s where we get most of our traffic from
