Try and sell it for parts?

I thought this was single extension publicly named as ShadyPanada

Then why partake in ML?

lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist.

Saying ML is socialist (which it’s not, it’s a tankie instance) is de facto discrediting socialism.

It’s like saying that socialists oppose any criticism of russia and china (authoritarian, imperialist, hyper-capitalist oligarchic countries that have nothing to do with socialism) and socialist only read Russia Today.

Lol, this is the most stereotypical tankie gibberish there is.

Please indulge me, my well educated friend.

Sh.itjust.works is fine if you want to join a mid-sized instance.

I personally find DB0 to be a bit suspect (they tolerate and sometimes enable tankies).

I get the concept of these tools, but why do you need a link/copy of the output? Why is a copy even saved (and is publicly accessible via kindergarten level deduction?)?

Wouldn’t your just paste the processed code back into your local/company code repository/servers?

I got hit by a similar exploit for WinRAR, it was a very sneaky XMR miner that took over mg whole system and would push the CPU to the max or mine XMR.

I was only able to get rid of it via safe made and luck (I was able to find a removal tool via a non-english forum, I suspect they dlacoid targeting US and EU).

This what I was trying to setup when I first started (with Nginx, domain and free tier version of Google Cloud). I wasn’t able to get it all running with Nginx and HTTPS.

I am relatively sophisticated on LAN/local services (been running Raspberry Pi since 2018 or so), I was never able to setup a reverse proxy to get a true self-hosted system (i.e. remote access); got roadblocked by nginx and setting up letsencrypt with reverse proxy support.

In general, true remote access is IMO exponentially more difficult and demanding than getting things running on your local network.

For anyone starting out with self-hosting, I would strongly recommend LAN/local services where you can relatively easily deploy multiple very useful and powerful services (SMB/NAS, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, Qbittorrent-Nox).

I would suggest looking into DietPi, it’s IMO the best RaspberryPi/SBC distribution there is if you want things to just work and not bug you. Very helpful developers and community too. Excellent, user friendly CLI management tools for headless operation.

Getting different perspectives from different circles instead of being migrated to one dominant website culture is a big part of why I haven’t moved to piefed, since it seems like that semi-forced centralization is part of their vision.

Have you used Piefed and its multi-community comment system? I am asking because from using it, I don’t the impression of “being migrated to one dominant website culture”.

That’s fair.

For what it’s worth I used to take a much more middle of the road position, but the last ~10 years have made me re-evaluate my position.

I was indirectly refering to the use of BSD code by Apple and Microsoft.

I prefer copyleft open source (i.g. GPL).

I am not a programmer, so I personally couldn’t care less about the debate around Rust and C (I do use systemd and I think it’s great), but I really dislike the use of the MIT license in Rust based projects.

American technology corporations have proven themselves to be a negative for society (even if most Americans would considering such thinking Haram).

But then you have the question of what do you define as critical mass and which specialized instances to exclude.

Don’t get me wrong, I support your idea and I generally think an instance should always be pre-selected for a new user (with an option to pick your own). Some of it should definitely be based on geo/regional factors.

Threadi is too small for that, if it had 2 million MAUs (50% English / 50 % other langues), what you are proposing would be semi-viable.

Between Lemmy / Piefed / Mbin, we have something like ~50 K MAUs tops.

That preamble is quiet the something.

I would recommend deleting your current posts, writing a brief intro (300 words tops) that also links to a FAQ and the full text of your concept.

It’s impossible to read in its current state.

Don’t know which country you live in but $160 for a 14 TB HDD is a good price. It’s been a while since I lived in North America, but from memory this is a good price for US/Canada.

One general tip for saving space is to get x265/HEVC content, as it tends to be most space efficient on both an absolute and a “quality per GB basis” (some caveats of course, but I digress). That being said you may want to make sure all your clients support x265 (I prefer to simply never have to transcode and have all clients support Xvid/x264/x265 and all major audio formats).
