  • Check your ad-blocker, some blocklists have blocked files.catbox.moe for some reason unknown to me.

  • And replace them with walled-garden devices that don't allow you to do anything besides a restricted set of uses defined by manufactures and right holders.

  • Can't you deploy Docker images to Lambda now? Granted, startup times will probably be slower than native Node.

  • I got the fix yesterday and I was surprised to see Meet suggesting visual effects. But on my computer enabling them makes the video stream's framerate choppy :/

  • Do you have any link to share on this? I'm curious to know how deep GM's implication would be in Andretti's F1 Team.

  • Sounds like "Steam doesn't allow X? We will allow X just to have you because we are so desperate for revenue"

  • I've always used OVH. They are reputable, always been responsive to my questions and have an API to handle many things, including domain names, which is handy for DNS-01 challenges with Caddy and libdns.

  • I'm afraid making your instance private disables federation.

    As for making the web interface private, while it would prevent the average Joe from seeing federated communities, you could still do it through the API, which you have to keep public if you want to use alternative and mobile clients without a VPN.

  • I use n8n, it has node-based workflows with tons of integrations and even the ability to run Javascript for advanced data processing or logic. You can go way further than IFTTT or even Zapier.

    The cloud-hosted version is expensive but it's easy to self-host (self-hosting is free).

  • I know you can do this because of the AWS Favicon Update add-on. My advice would be to take a look at how it does it by downloading the XPI from the versions page and unziping its content.

    Edit: I did so and its mechanism is fairly basic: it's a content script that replaces the favicon's URL in the link tag in the document.

  • This week I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I loved the art direction, the dialogs and the original music.

  • Apple's letter also asked that the bill "focus on requiring manufacturers obligations to provide the documentation tools, and parts to enable the repairs performed by authorized repair channels, as opposed to a broader undefined scope of repairs." Apple also wants repair providers to mention when they're using "non-genuine or used" components.

    The bill, as written, also requires non-authorized repairers to provide written notice of their lack of official vendor approval.

    Elizabeth Chamberlain, director of sustainability at iFixit, told Ars Technica that while disclosing the use of third-party parts is reasonable, she's concerned that it "supports unnecessary fear-mongering around used and third-party parts."

    "I also worry that lumping used and third-party parts together will contribute to further confusion. Apple's 'unable to verify' warnings already blur the line between those categories," she added.

    In short, this bill allows Apple to encourage people to repair their devices at Apple-certified repair shops by marketing them as better as non-certified ones.

  • I wonder if they will ever implement ActivityPub and federate. I know, there's fear of "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish", but still, that would allow privacy-minded people to follow Threads users without giving them such data by using Mastodon, CalcKey and other micro-blogging apps.

  • The magic of the fediverse is that Lemmy posts are already available on Mastodon!

    For example you can see every posts and comments made to this community by opening the @asklemmy@lemmy.ml profile on Mastodon. It works with Lemmy users as well (@covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com).

    From there, you can follow communities and users as well as reply or boost any post or comment!

    It also works the other way around: you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon by mentioning the community (ie. @asklemmy@lemmy.ml). Just keep in mind that the first line will be the title, while the following lines will be the post's body, and that hashtags are rendered as text on Lemmy.

    Edit: my links to mastodon.online were redirecting to the Lemmy instances instead of showing the profiles in Mastodon.

  • Do we want/need to praise and celebrate billionaires? I personally don't care about the birthday of random billionaire X who founded random company Y.

  • DMs on the fediverse (and Lemmy) are posts with a specific visibility that marks them as DMs. They are sent like any other posts, so there's no encryption and instance admins could in theory read them in the database.
