Who you’re trying to invite over?
You don’t. That’s established relationship shit (romantic or otherwise).

Y’all looking for a reason to be mad

That’s an unnecessarily rude response. Even in the baking community, it should be fine to ask what goes into their decision to bake bread, or why they choose to bake bread instead of spending their time baking other things instead. Even if he already made up his mind, it’s fine to be curious about the motivations others.

He didn’t tell you what you can or can’t do, or what you should or shouldn’t do. He didn’t jellyfin is bad or that self hosting in general is bad. He wasn’t rude.

You say it’s an important life lesson to get that it’s ok for other people to have different tastes and priorities, but it’s also healthy to ask people about those tastes and priorities.

I just let each docker stack get its own.
Often different services need different versions or update between versions at different cadences, so I don’t want to deal managing all that.

I walked into that one. Like a spider web.

Who holds a spider like that???

“openclaw” 👀👀👀

The reason people use SaaS is because they have someone to sue when something goes wrong and you lose days of revenue.

Well that leaves me with mixed feelings.

Thread itself doesn’t need Internet connectivity, but thread seems to almost always be paired with matter, which does (during provisioning).

I like that matter provisioning requires verification of their certificate, but I don’t like that certificates can expire or the certificate authority can shut down. Although maybe that’s all taken care of by the DCL? In which case that’d be fine.

Can you explain a bit more about the setup?

Like would just using a VPS with pangolin secure tunnel work? Or does it have to be a vpn for some other reason?

Asking because maybe the question really boils down to the VPS provider with the best data transfer rates

If you’re just starting to build out, what about using thread instead of zigbee or zwave?

Oh get over yourself

Short form is cool because it’s like constrained writing.

Tiktok was pretty great while it was just silly videos.\ But it’s not short form anymore so it’s full of political essays and propaganda.

I kinda hope that loops is more like vine than tiktok or vertical YouTube. But it’ll probably be up to the instance to govern video length.

I hate how so many of the arr apps don’t describe what they do in a way that people who don’t already know can understand.

Even the tutorials and guides are frustratingly vague.

I can’t answer many of the questions here, but I can help a little with two:

If you’re worried about noise, don’t get ironwolf drives. I just did and they’re noisy af. I brought some sound absorbing foam to put around the place where I keep my NAS, because they’re so much louder than I expected.

Don’t open up a port in your network.
Use something like tailscale to connect your devices to your home network, or rent an VPS to run a secure tunnel using pangolin (you’ll need to look into bandwidth limits).

It’s illegal to hire people or refuse to hire people based on political beliefs or affiliation, so you’re not gonna have companies that only employ Trump supporters or employ no Trump supporters. Politics is considered a protected group wrt employment law in the USA and many countries.

But how would it actually work?
It’s not like it’s difficult to gauge employee sentiment about ICE. If your employees are strongly against it, then you simply don’t enter the competition for ICE contracts, or you choose to not renew the contracts when they expire.

Yeah, but at the same time it’s kinda good for people to be able to see the kind of shit they’re posting for themselves.

It is propaganda, but it’s not good propaganda, and that’s what the community fact checking thing is meant to counter, imo.

Even if that was true, which it isn’t, a company should reflect the beliefs of its employees and community.

If it’s an official govt agency I think it makes sense for them to be allowed on communications platforms and to be verified, so that people can see what they’re saying and know that it’s an official statement.

Then people can see the post and make their own judgements about it, knowing it’s an official agency statement.
Having twitter style factcheck for blatant misinformation is also important for this, though.

I think that tech companies taking a stand on what their employees and/or users believe in is a reasonable thing.

Idk what the employees of bluesky believe, but I’m fairly familiar with the bay area tech scene and I think that there is a decent chance that the employees would like to take a stand by not providing services to ICE.

That being said, idk if simply allowing them to have an account is providing services. I think it’s probably better to have govt agencies have verified accounts so people know when things are official statements, even if you disagree with the agency.

this site

This isn’t a site. It’s a collection of sites (instances).
If there is an instance that doesn’t tolerate your kind of speech, then choose another instance that does.

Be aware that two of the largest hardcore left-leaning instances (hexbear, ml) have been widely defederated (instance-blocked), so it’s not fair to say that this only happens to right leaning or centrist ideas.

The beauty (and point) of Lemmy and fediverse is that if you feel like you’re being censored, you can join or make an instance of like-minded people, while still having access to the other area if you want it.
Lemmy is uncensorable, but doesn’t force people to listen to you.
