rsync for backups? I guess it depends on what kind of backup

for redundant backups of my data and configs that I still have a live copy of, I use restic, it compresses extremely well

I have used rsync to permanently move something to another drive though

I guess it’s like a CAPTCHA. It doesn’t completely solve the problem the hoster wishes to solve, but it deters a lot of people from trying.

I don’t trust an external third party to manage the coordination server.

Headscale has an issue open for wireguard only exit nodes though, I guess ill wait for that.

I tried self-hosting tailscale with headscale, but you cannot have a wireguard only exit node with headscale–and so I can’t have mullvad as my exit node.

If it turns on with mobile data automatically, that turns off my Mullvad VPN.

The original link ap_id corresponds to the author’s instance.

[email protected] posts to [email protected]. The path the post will take is this:

User -> Author’s instance -> Community’s instance -> Notified to all other instances subscribed, to download from author’s instance.

As for your other point, there is no good universal Lemmy linking thing for posts. communities and users have names that work on any instance, but there’s no similar unique identifier for posts.

FYI, the Photon version you’re running is over a year out of date.

ill delete mine if:

1. it has any form of information that could potentially be used to personally identify me when I realize retroactively

2. i get embarrassed when I try to contribute to a community and get down voted to oblivion

If anything is posted to a lemmy.ml community, this person will repost it to some random lemmy.world or adjacent community

All ~14M users quit the fediverse simultaneously on that one day and changed their mind a day later

In gen z, I see it mostly used as an ironic “this is sad”. It’s like how 😭 is used as a laughing emoji.

example:

“this guy really thinks that was tuff (cool) 🥀”

My residential IP (an inconspicuous Comcast network) gets blocked by this garbage on so many websites. I don’t know why VPNs are less suspicious to sites than my random california ip

Yes, it’s very simple too. You don’t even need to extract anything from a database or do some complicated stuff. As an admin you have free access to all moderation tools no matter where the post is from, including the option to “view votes”.

I cannot listen to lyrical music, it ends up making me mad. I can’t explain it. I just stick to instrumental or game soundtracks to listen to

If you’re an instance admin, for any post, you can just click “view votes” and see everything tied to usernames, even outside your own instance. Moderators can too, but it’s restricted to the communities they moderate.

Irrelevant but its funny how in English “x aren’t shit anymore” can mean it got better or it got worse simultaneously

“are we serious” whenever something negative happens

Not to advertise, but you could try Photon. It’s what Tesseract was forked from wayyy back as me and the tesseract dev’s philosophies split.

It’s more opinionated, and features are carefully organized compared to Tesseract where plenty of shortcuts and links are given (which isn’t bad at all, just targets different preferences).

• Parallel ATA
• Amateur Radio
• Scandinavian defense
• History of tablet computers
  • (i was searching for the oldest ones because my friend was asking for tablet recommendations. im hilarious)
• Magic SysRQ key

LLMs are such an amazing technology, but they are used and understood completely wrong by the corporate world.

People are growing dependent on it which is a problem, but the transformer model is really cool imo.
