The other big thing for knowing I’m in Illinois is seeing gasoline and diesel prices significantly higher than in my state. It’s not just fossil fuels either, charging my EV in Illinois makes it cost more than fueling my wife’s SUV in my state and driving the same trip. The roads aren’t much better either for the higher taxes either.

I have a feeling that the term “national divorce” is gong to become more common over the next year or so.

The Matrix.

I’m still leery after coming over from a TrueNAS app deployment of NC that crashed and I was never able to get back running. Docker AIO has been good so far, but NC is the reason I validate backups.

Anyone banning for downvoting is incredibly petty or thin skinned, just my observation. If it wasn’t for the instance shutting down, it would have made a good post on yptb. Reading other comment threads on this post support the thin skinned theory imho. I just happened to be browsing all when I found the post. Looking at my subs, I wasn’t subscribed to any community there.

I won’t forget the mods of the star trek subreddit banning people for just criticizing Disco and Picard not for being woke or whatever other conservative dog whistles at the time, but for legitimate reasons. That’s the behavior I avoid. I don’t need a mod to protect me from differing opinions. It’s the internet ffs. Then there was the crusade against all the “_trek” subreddits. Claiming harassment to get Reddit to shut them down so that no one with differing opinions about the shows could have a community was absolutely inexcusable. That’s why I avoid your instance like the plague.

It’s also the best part of Lemmy and fediverse on the whole and what we agree on. No one person can control everything.

Better phrasing would be “this experiment within the fediverse”. His phrasing still comes across as the fediverse (as an experiment) being a failure to me. I’ve not seen fediverse used as an adjective before.

It’s the same reason I’m not on .ml and your instance (I saw how they ran things over on reddit) and try to limit interactions on the instances that are notorious for their heavy handed moderation. He can do whatever he wants, but so can I within the limits of the sh.itjust.works instance or even spinning up my own. That’s the reason I think he got butthurt. He got called out for how he ran things in front of the fediverse, didn’t like it, got mad, took his ball and went home and likely banned me and 5 other guys for his bad phrasing at best or his opinion at worst. He’s free to do that and I believe that the fedivdrse is better for it.

This fediverse experiment was a failure.

The whole notion that the fediverse is a failure. Ptz is entitled to his opinion, but he couldn’t be serious that everyone would hold that inflammatory opinion as well. I still stand by my opinion that the fediverse is better off without toxic admins like this.

The post was fine, the premise is wrong about the fediverse. That’s why I downvoted and didn’t interact further.

Yeah, not so nice for just downvoting a post of his though. Fediverse is better off without that kind of toxic behaviour.

ZeroBytes.monster I don’t want a reddit bot in my feed. I wanted a clean break during the reddit 3rd party app backstabbing.

All the more reason why I’m glad to be leaving consoles in my past. I’m done with locked down systems and walled gardens.

Might want to consider switching to jellyfin with all the tracking and feature loss going on with plex

There was a time where your ISP provided access to a Usenet server for free, but they didn’t have all the newsgroups like alt.binaries or even the whole alt hierarchy. Nowadays you gotta pay for access, and you’ll get access to all newsgroups. With the deals going on now, unlimited access is cheaper than most any streaming service.

For people who don’t use a lot/often enough to justify a monthly sub or as a backup if you go over a cap or failover if your main goes down

Depending where you’re at in the US, Huck’s gas stations have them

Data is a proper noun, data is not.

Root beer barrels come to mind. Obviously black licorice has it’s own candy. Usually I see grape flavored fun dip and pop rocks

I’ve been saying this for over a year. The era of free stuff on the internet is coming to a close. Be prepared to pay or self host things you’re used to getting for free. It’s what got me into self hosting.

So long as government meddles in it, yes you are correct.

Do they really though with policies like qualified immunity and civil asset forfeiture?
