This is the way

And English… I’ve heard them use soccer as well on many occasions

Yeah my millennial girlfriend does not talk like that nor do her friends. That’s more juvenile speech and millennials are creeping into late stage adulting at this point and past that nonsense.

Signed… GenX

Holy fuck! Are you twelve? Did Mommy tell you get off the Internet again?

Your biological age doesn’t matter on the Internet. Your only currency is how you communicate. If you communicate like a child, as far as the Internet is concerned, you are a child. If you want to be treated like an adult you need to act/communicate like an adult.

Lol. Truth hurts, I know!

Where did I say anyone was forcing anyone else to use Mastodon (or Twitter et al?)

I don’t use Mastodon or Twitter, never have… because it’s a platform for people with low attention spans and lacking anything interesting to say or form a complex cogent though and discourages intelligent interaction in favor of quick quips and toxic behavior. Mastodon/Twitter is a cancer on the Internet, end of story.

Pages represent web pages, whereas notes represent “a short written work typically less than a single paragraph in length”. In my opinion, using Page was a mistake on Lemmy’s end. Just like Lemmy won’t support Place objects, I’m not sure if any other platform will ever support Page objects, because Pages are much bigger in scope than anything most Fediverse applications ever deal with.

Using note was the mistake. Limiting communication to short quips, like Twitter does, is a fucking travesty. The fact that people routinely and often make multiple tweets to extend what they want to say proves this point. Twitter/X was the worst thing to happen to communication in the internet age by further reducing the attention span and ability of people to concentrate on longer bodies of writing, thereby making people even dumber.

Twitter/Mastodon should not even be a thing, honestly. They are dumb methods of communication for dumb people. You can always post something shorter in a long form system, but you can’t post something longer in a short form system, without making multiple posts. It’s fucking stupid and always has been. The primary reason for the short form, originally 140 char, was because you could text it in one message. This made a bit of sense… just a tiny bit, as it opened up communication where there previously wasn’t any. But as we moved away from that paradigm of 140 char text messages, the idea of a Twitter became more and more stupid, where today, we have Twitter/Mastodon as the bastion of the idiot regime who can’t think past 280 characters.

No, it’s part of the normal partition if you set it up right. You just can’t write to the normal partition or it will overwrite your hidden partition

My favorite is when some dumb ass company asks me to fax something. Like bitch…I haven’t had a land line in over 20 years, much less a fax machine. There is this new thing called email, perhaps you’ve heard of it?

Generally speaking US military time vernacular never uses the word “and” because it’s superfluous and confusing.

The idea is to condense the information into the smallest transmissible unit possible while eliminating any ambiguity.

“Oh six oh five” would be how you say it. The leading “oh” is to disambiguate a transmission dropout or interference with “sixteen.” It adds a checksum bit, if you will.

GitHub Link isn’t working. How could I theoretically use this for my instance?

What part of what I wrote do you not understand? Because it’s painfully clear you are completely mistaken about how Federation works or what it is. I’ve already explained the differences to you, but you don’t seem to be able to grasp them. So where is the failure of communication here? Which parts are you having trouble with?

Decentralization does not mean that one part of the network can’t go down but the network itself will survive it.

What does this sentence even mean. It’s just word salad and looks like you are throwing out buzzwords you’ve heard somewhere but don’t know what they actually mean contextually.

With a centralized network you literally have one server and if it dies all data is lost.

You just described Lemmy.

The fact that you don’t understand that federation != decentralization is the problem. Just because something is federated does not mean it’s decentralized. Decentralized means all data is stored on all nodes and the loss of any one node does not compromise that data. That’s not Lemmy. If your Lemmy server goes down, significant portions of your data go with it, which proportions vary, but you WILL lose data. That’s not decentralized, but everyone agrees Lemmy is federated, yes? Therefore, federation is not decentralization.

The cloudflare tunnel is the reverse proxy in this case. No particular need to run another. Are you using the docker cloudflared to set up the tunnel?

In my case, I use NGINX that connects to the cloudflare side and parse everything out from there, and I haven’t used the cloudflared docker, but I imagine that makes things easier. I set everything up before Cloudflare tunnels were a thing, so I didn’t really want to rejigger everything. If were doing it from scratch, I’d probably go with Cloudflare.

Inb4 the Cloudflare is Bad and is a MITM attack people. Yes, it is, but it’s about opportunity cost. I’m not doing anything I care that Cloudflare sees, so I’m fine using it for simplicity sake, and I imagine they do a better job of security than I do, and I can manage stuff on a well configured dashboard instead of a command line. I’m more interested in blocking people who AREN’T cloudflare from screwing with my shit than I am in keeping Cloudflare out of my business. I use a VPN for things I don’t want to run through Cloudflare (like Torrents).

I have up on Pihole a long time ago because of constant issues. Went with self hosted AdGuard and haven’t had a single issue since.

Federated systems all have a single point it failure, the server. If a server instance disappears a significant portion of your data does as well, especially if it wasn’t federated. User accounts are a good example of this in Lemmy.

Just because a system is federated does not mean it’s decentralized, whereas a decentralized system has no risk of loss of data if a single system goes down. Federation is not that.

You can basically do that with Diaspora
