Wow, this summary is scathing

I’ve gotta hop as well; I’m trying to find the biggest/most mainstream instance that hasn’t blocked or defederated from the piracy communities. Will have to check this list and find one when I get a chance.

Cloudflare DDos protection isn’t a silver bullet; the attacks are distributed and come from shifting source IPs, and are sophisticated in that they exploit resource intensive queries specifically designed to overload a Lemmy instance. If lemmy.world were to pivot to some other instance, who’s to say the culprits wouldn’t just resume their efforts pointed at the new location? There are theories these may be carried out by the recently-defederated fringe hate communities

Ooh sweet thnx 4 the tip - will try this later! I was trying via the web dashboard which I’m pretty sure requires a subscription

That doesn’t surprise me since it was apparently released straight to DVD. Still might watch it with friends after a few brewskis MST3000-style

Interesting I never knew of “American Psycho 2”. I might have to give it a watch just for the lulz since it has Mila Kunis and Shatner in it.

I’m running netdata on each of my servers and it has every feature I need. If u choose netdata, make sure not to install the nightly builds since they get updated all the time and sometimes break features. One annoying thing with netdata is you have to pay a subscription for the option to disable individual alert types. I have a nearly full hard drive and there’s an alert for that which won’t go away. Same thing for temporary inbound packet drops which seems to happen everytime one particular Plex user forcibly transcodes content (they’re old and remote and won’t change their Plex client settings 😡). Each error they send you an email.

Same! Lemmy reminds me a lot of Reddit when I originally joined in June of 2011

What are you running for your firewall? I’ve been curious about self hosting a Lemmy instance (currently have a few services like Plex, Minecraft, pihole, etc) but do worry about security

I use PiVPN (wireguard protocol) on the same pi I use for pihole exactly like this. Port isn’t forwarded, but I can split tunnel DNS for adblocking on the go and still ssh to my other server

Humans have always been highly intelligent, they were just limited by the tools of their times. And yes much of their knowledge and innovation wasn’t preserved to be built off of.

For anyone (such as myself) whose use-case for Twitter is just for following specific people, if those influencers aren’t using Threads or Mastodon then there isn’t a competitor who can replace that service. I only use Twitter for a few select people and that’s it. I’m on Mastodon just posting into the void which is fun but doesn’t replace Twitter for me (yet)

Ellen Pao, yup. F her and f spez

I’ve always been partial to the Gordon Ramsay turn of phrase “You fucking donkey.” A little less serious. :)

☝️this guy right here, personal FBI agent! He basically admitted to pirating the JFK movie with Kevin Costner!! 💀

Thnx for the reply. I will watch my wording moving forward. I am a bit surprised as I am a leftie myself and didn’t consider referring to my fellow lefties as “the Left” was inflammatory. But no worries, thnx again!

Right, so it’d be better to instead say RBJ was an incredibly stubborn and shortsighted nincompoop whose bad decision-making doomed an entire generation and undid her personal legacy in the blink of an eye
