I don’t think Fedi forum was her job, but maybe it is?

I strongly disagree with it generally being dumb to (unanonymously) raise your voice on a topic that might cause you problems in the future. It’s a consideration of priorities and going “this is my name and I stand up for xy” (maybe by a coworker even) is usually more impactful than some anon accounts or persona. Of course it might impact your career or whatever, but for some people it’s worth the potential consequences.

I too use (semi) anonymous accounts for different things, but I don’t go “neutral” at work or anywhere really. Most political organizations won’t work with only anons (Anonymous is an exception). Saying using your real name for “controversial” politics stuff is dumb? Hard no.

Also, which topics are controversial and which aren’t is always subject to change. Maybe she lives somewhere where transphobic positions will help her? She’s rightfully gone from this position and I wish transphobia would be a unacceptable everywhere but it isn’t and she might find other people/orgs/position where it’s a benefit even.

Good to know, thanks!

Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?

I didn’t forget a word, maybe a comma - in the given context, the meaning is “Would you keep your opinion for yourself if it’s something you care about?” as the post I replied to suggested exactly that.

Would you if it’s something you care about and want to be vocal about? I’d rather know that she’s full of shit and now out of the whole thing than supporting someone who spews against trans people on a secret identity.

Interesting writeup, thanks! I thought maybe dropping connections with those user agents would be the best but idk. My sites have not been targeted yet fortunately.

To expose your stuff to the outside internet, you need to actively set port forward in your internet router, you won’t do that by accident.

Ouch!

Did autotune touch the interfaces?

Nice! Hosting your own Fedi stuff feels great.

I’m using the Hetzner nameservers, it’s not exactly DynDNS but they have a DNS API and I just have a cronjob set up that checks every five minutes if the IP is still correct and updates otherwise.

If an instance decides to not federate with another one they don’t see each other anymore. You can’t subscribe to their communities and vice versa, you don’t see their users posts in third instance communities. From your perspective it stops existing.

It’s sometimes necessary e.g. if an instance doesn’t do moderation by itself and hoards of trolls are coming from one instance spamming in many communities so you don’t have to ban each of their trolls. It can also be a tool if moderation goals differ too strongly from each other, and some instances have decided to defederate from lemmy.ml and more vocal tankie instances like lemmygrad and hexbear.

Because they made this thing and Fediverse is per se open. If you question whether they belong, I wonder why you are posting on .ml?

You didn’t post which community you posted that into so it’s a but hard to evaluate how legitimate the removal is.

Don’t worry, I didn’t :)

Mastodon where you can’t use the letter “e”: https://www.vice.com/en/article/its-like-tweeting-but-you-cant-use-the-letter-e/ ( oulipo.social )

Oh wow, I didn’t notice the date! Apparently the edit put it up in my feed - probably because this instance wasn’t there when the post was created.

It’s there, some apps and show the link very prominent if there’s some text as well. Do you see the preview?

Yes, but that’s a supported way to install Proxmox.

You have some options that aren’t in the installer e.g. full disk encryption

Your CPU should be perfectly capable of that. I ran Proxmox with some VMs and containers on an i5-2400 with 16GB RAM just fine.

You could run on bare Debian as well but virtualization will give you more flexibility. If you get a Zigbee Dongle or the like, you can pass it through to the VM Home Assistant is running in.

I don’t know MergeFS but usually the recommendation is ZFS.

Cool thread idea! TOR has already been mentioned, a relay seems to be save to run in most of the world.

This thread recently popped up and had some other nice ideas: https://lemmy.ca/post/40649656
