I’m pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what’s going everywhere on the internet all at once?

The resdit post referred to by the top level comment mentions that winners of very large jackpots turn up dead with alarming frequency.

Also the bigger the jackpot the more people get sued, family kidnapped, harassed, etc. A miserable existence apparently.

Is he wearing pants?

I’m guessing if you have to pay the government, you can get government approval.

By Jupiter’s cock!

They exist here in Australia too. Which is a Commonwealth country with lots of English influenced heritage and culture.

Or when Netgear just randomly picked university of Wisconsin as the NTP server for all it’s cheap routers. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/netgear-sntp/

As a hubspot user this is actually not surprising at all. In fact the only surprise is that they’re not requiring you to buy more Professional seats for the answer.

Enshittification and masturbation.

It feels good to be home

I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.

But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.

However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.

Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?

And how did that work out for them?

Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.

Done.

Now download ebooks from anywhere, import into calibre and sync to your Kindle.

I have the paper white touch screen one.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

Yes this has been a game changer and would’ve been my advice too (but you posted before me).

Using a deluge container with vpn baked in is amazing. And also it makes setup so much easier. Instead of messing with tags and complicated configs I simply run a deluge docker container for each other app. My movies docker compose file starts up radarr and it’s own deluge and jacket etc. My television docker compose file starts up medusa, it’s own deluge, etc.

Provides for maximum flexibility. And put traefik in front of it all… so I go to “movies.mydomain.net” and can use radarr… or “television.mydomain.net” and it goes to medusa. Much more family friendly.

It was the first to throw some real money behind it’s server infrastructure. A month ago most Lemmy instances - even the “big” ones ran on $10 a month 2 vCPU VPSs.

There was another influx early in June when the API changes were announced but before the blackouts even happened.

Most instances with public signups started struggling but Lemmy.world launched and Ruud upgraded the server hardware almost daily to keep up.

Other instances even had to pause signups from time to time but world kept working and so gobbled up most signups on those days.

Once it got to be a top 3 instance and then top 2 and then first it became a self sustaining snowball as a lot of people chose the biggest instance by default.

And before that Slashdot

You need a reverse proxy like nginx or traefik. Your mastodon server is using the web ports. Lemmy also wants to use the same ports. Obviously the can’t both use them.

The solution is to let neither use the ports and set them up on some other ports.

The reverse proxy is then set up as your main “web server”. It will then look at every request coming in and based on the domain name or url requested redirect (or rather forward or proxy) the request to the correct service… mastadon or Lemmy.

I run dozens of services on the same server. And use traefik to sit in front and manage it all.

I mean it pretty much works the same way as Usenet. Independent providers have servers which federate content with each other.

Not that hard of a concept.
