I love it when they come in with screenshots of them using the vote button incorrectly.

They also seemingly like spreading incorrect information too which is telling :eyes_roll: and I thought I'd give their account a skim since their comment smelt funny

The video itself is a set of instructions, and when a video player interprets those instructions there is a window of opportunity.

Nothing to do with "video players" and pulling shit out of their arse is hilarious

Ya know reading my comment again, something else I might advise is getting to know Docker if you haven't already.

However I find it shrewd to run anything networking related such as Pihole / TS / Zerotier / Adguard whatever is to run them raw dawg instead of in docker containers. Many recommended but I can't.

I've totally and others have too fugged up their network and not just with them in a docker containers. It's really sometimes very very opaque as to why things don't work.

Immich and stuff like that is great in docker containers, but networking? No thank u!

Yup!

Things you should be aware of thou are a Rpi3 and below only have a 100Mbps ethernet port, whereas a Pi4 and above have gigabit ports so if you're gonna be doing anything network related it might be better for you. A Pi5 again has one but then isn't as powerful GPU wise (sounds weird I know) and no good for transcoding things unlike the Pi4.

And saying that, I have two dinky Pi Zero's with DVB HAT's on them to give me my own HD Homerun TV tuners that I can access anywhere via Tailscale. They don't require much processing power and only operate over WiFi 2.4GhZ, but they work good.

If you want something to play with self hosting? Immich is a good start as the docs are as good as Tailscale's. A Pihole is often a good start to understanding your network better and allows installation via a simple curl command. Have fun!

I've just checked 5hrs worth and some users are gonna get themselves snagged by screenshotting these dickbutts. Whether that's by their ISP or whatever, and it seems might be wise to hunker down and ask active community members for moar reports?

Main thing is thou did you manage to get your openssh-server working on Android yet instead of using the client? I made that fugg up first time.

That'd be dependent on your works IT policy and I can hear the resounding NO from my IT dept here at home :/

However if they're fairly lax, you could install it on anything from a Pi to a spare laptop.

Besides like I say it's now saving me money, I've also got the bonus of having off site backup storage at a family member's now since I gave them an old Pi4 of mine, setup the arrrr stack/Jellyfin/Jellyseerr etc and they love me so much now because of that, I don't think they'd even notice they're secretly part of my 3.2.1 backup solution (since they also get my remote IT support + their adblocker on their phone via Tailscale anywhere) ;)

Nah they're connecting to their home network via a Tailscale exit node which basically runs all your ~~requests~~ traffic through your device/router at home/ external server, P2P encrypted.

And if it's got an adblocker on that network you soon notice if it's not connected since all the ads come flooding in.

I too third Tailscale, since it is literally now saving me money because work has give us pretty darn fast WiFi albeit with a nanny filter which the above exit node breaks you out of so I now don't pay for as much data on my cellular plan.

By your logic

When people use that word they usually have their own logic burnt into their brain. But, bide with me here please.

I don't really see any "logic" whatsoever moving/ consolidating/closing an existing community (with inactive accounts as mods) outside of the Instance admins closing it from a community request. Those users might have a preference to use another Instance, for instance, because of hosting laws etc (I dunno).

Maybe they don't like lemdro.id perhaps for its hosting company or whatever, maybe they just wanna use their own Instance but subscribe to that community?

Consolidation should really only happen in my own opinion if the community themselves + the Instance admins are asking for it and I can't see that yet.

Yeah but this is not answering my question.

If we have multiple communities across the fediverse that can report, cross post, and federate isn't that the better solution rather than silo'ing things to one Instance / set of mods?

Lemmy is order of magnitudes smaller than Reddit

Yeah, that's kinda my point too. When the Digg > reddit migration happened I didn't promote my community at all. Still growing, even though spez has come in and yoinked it.

If c/Xiaomi, or c/Android, or c/Google in the fediverse becomes larger in the other instance it's still beneficial to have all of them since if one goes down, the other serves the fediverse an alternative right?

Again I'm not sure the admins of LW actaully want to migrate any community and I'm also not really sure why, it's needed. Can't these things live in harmony?

One of the best things I ever did was intentionally not promote my first community I ever made since I knew it was asking for it in doing so, and rather left it to grow by itself.

Which it is (albeit on fucking reddit)

Yeah I kinda get ya, but still don't agree with competing solely on numbers and feel it could lop off someone's feed without them wanting/realising it.

And like u/empty. I've worked with fellow mods over on reddit who, to this day if you looked at their profile you'd think they were a dead account.

But then, if you check the modlogs it's like yikes, this guy does 95.66% of the grind. All Praise the u/empty evil mod that shall not be named. 😘

Huh. We can't have both?

Maybe I've got the idea of the fediverse wrong here but those mods can report stuff on our instance and, vice versa?

Modding them up to close down the other community was something that the admins of lemmy.world and c/Android weren't too happy about last time I checked.
