  • All the meta products, reddit, old fashioned forums... plenty of things. Discourse (pah) tik tok. Different but have way more users. I'm genuinely curious how they get so little traffic in this day and age against other methods. And yes, I know I'm asking on Lemmy, but I'm new here, and I still cannot fathom why they are so quiet

  • I downloaded a car. I love my Tisla Model C

  • They caused £7 million pounds damage. Now if someone damaged YOUR property and the police did nothing how would you feel? As the £7 million will now have to be found from tax payers money can you not see why the government is pissed... regardless of the cause this sort of action has consequences.

  • For me and the clients and fwiends I talk to the issue with the fediverse for them is the decentralised nature. Most of them are NOT tech inclined and the suggestion that they would have to choose a server and that choice will influence the experience is a deal breaker - pure and simple. To follow up then if they do join, the sheer lack of numbers baffles them and they quit

  • Point to cloudflare as using tunnels... I have said this already, but this is exactly what is happening

  • Nope.... us Brits are a strange lot. Heck it is why I asked the q to start with because brits ARE so strange

  • Never used to be any issues but recently I've had some real fun trying to get stolen domains back after the details were either wrong or false.... you can do it, but it takes time and a heck of a load of cash

  • After being AMD for years recently went back to nvidia for one reason. nvenc works way better for encoding livestreams and videos than amd

  • So just got back to this... so if it is parked on the bun you need to change the nameservers at cloudflare to actually get the domain to work. Without that step cloudflare can't do much with it. Cloudflare will tell you your own personal cloudflare nameservers, porkbun will have set them to theirs, so firstly find out what the nameservers are set to in cloudflare. Work through this guide

    https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/

    Once cloudflare has the nameservers and they are resolving, which can take 24 hours, you can then route through your tunnel or whatever...

  • Not a fan of Amazon in any way shape or form, but for some purchases here in the UK they are simply miles ahead of other firms. Latest purchase by me, though not paid for by me is 2 x batteries for my wifes mobility scooter. 20% cheaper than anywhere else, took 1 week to arrive (not bad, not the best) but was so easy to order without all the hassle other solutions involve. We have a prime account still as there is some streaming stuff we also like to watch. Still (just) more pros than cons

  • You want to use flexible ssl/tls for starters, doubtful it will work otherwise. Log in to cloudflare, choose domain, then SSL/TLS and see if encryption is set to flexible. See what that gets you, though it can take 15 mins for effects to show up. As long as the server can be reached cloudflare will try and match a certificate so lemmy gets served, as long as the server is set up correctly and the ports etc. are correctly forwarded and open

  • again - no bias but that seems tiny compared to other "things"

  • How are you using Cloudflare, and what are you serving the lemmy instance on? I'm guessing it is due to the ssl mode chosen as said before

  • Pico is kinda like Bludit, but Bludit has plugins. We all know the pros and cons of those but it does save you time if a plugin exists to do something you need, plus it has theme support. So pretty much the same then.... I just have used Bludit thus the recommendation

  • Aye it is.... but 400 users seems really small compared to others

  • I have enjoyed this discussion but some of my UK peers have added that the fediverse in general (like most social media to be fair) when it is new seems to "american" for them. Bluesky suffers from this criticism as well. This puts a lot of UK users off. Heck even threads is described by many as too us focused right now (see the I'm in the UK is anybody else posts on threads)

  • oh and "installation" is just copy the files to where you want a half decent webserver to serve from. Half decent I mean it is much easier with say apache or nginx but possible with others. Had good results with nginx on a pi4b and Bludit for example

  • Not in my experience, jobs are just being lost to AI overall, as in the are simply replaced by AI. Here in the UK had whole departments replaced by AI like copywriters and summarising jobs

  • Because a lot of the jobs are simply going as they have replaced people with AI. Here in the UK I know about 25000 jobs gone this year with businesses I've worked for as they are replaced with AI. Of course, I have about 90% less work this year as well because of AI
