I open 443 and 80 on my router and forward it to a reverse proxy.
I have a couple of service that are exposed but most of them make sense only when I'm home so I whitelist private IP address on my reverse proxy.
If you do.your basic security such as updating your servers and services and not having dumb password, you shouldn't be afraid. Think about it, all of the services that you use is exposed on the internet. I did work for big company and they don't do much more than what you would probably do, except maybe having some automated monitoring that flag weird stuff. But hey, aside from bots, I don't think Russian hackers are interested in your stuff. Stay low profile with your exposed things and it's gonna be alright. Make sure you backup.
In my opinion, the problem is that for the past 50 years, we spent all our time to build beautiful subburbs and parking lots.
The city has not expanded as much as it should have been and now, we reap the consequences of unsustainable cities.
Subburbs exists because the city generate a lot of wealth and yet, for some reason, we keep building big box store, big parking lots and single family houses.
I don't think the solution is to build more or raise the minimum wage. The solution is to make the city denser and probably bulldoze the fuck out of the subburbs to actually make cities that have a high value per acres.
The hard part is the network. Everything is different with different ISP.
The DNS is another challenge, you need to buy your 'internet real estate' and have it work correctly if your IP change.
Security is another challenge but I think it's easier to notice unusual traffic from your basement server than from a mega-tech-bro-corporation. There's probably some easy software that could do that.
I would love to do this but I'm afraid of exposing my home IP to the world of spammer and what not.
Did you selfhost on a cloud provider or did you do it from your home ? How crazy does the security need to be around Lemmy instance ? I really feel like it's a beacon of come hack me if you can!
Why make a drama about it ? If you got some sources, provide them. Everyone benefits.
If its that easy, just say how to get them.
This kind of attitude just drive people away with their question. I wasn't aware either that Musk was a public transit hater. If there's no nice article documenting Musk behavior, so be it, we shall google but if someone has something, it's easier to digest information like this than googling things.
Chill the fuck out and let the people ask their question and if you can, provide the answer or shut the fuck up.
Men can have an opinion on the matter. We are talking about potential children here so if course everyone will have an opinion.
Saying Men shouldn't have an opinion on this matter only proved that you shouldn't have an opinion.
Having a vagina is not a prerequisite to have an opinion on abortion.
In any case, the best argument I can think of about abortion is that the fetus seem to have a consciousness at around 24 weeks. Consciousness is what we care to protect. In my opinion, at 24 weeks, a fetus is a person worth of protection.
I think it's about keeping the userbase on ActivityPub as much as possible. When meta will start doing ActivityPub and probably change it, everyone will need to follow because Meta will own all the userbase and "subreddit".
At some point, they will decide to drop ActivityPub because it's not good enough for what they want to do. Just like what Google did to XMPP. And maybe Google was right about XMPP, I don't know.
Another reason is what you are saying, a personnal battle against Meta and big corp.
At the end of the day, will anything the fediverse Admin do will matter ? Only time will tell I guess.
One key difference with HTTP is just like TCP. Everyone uses it so it's much harder to just change it and fuck everyone else. ActivityPub is an easier target for this strategy.
You can't expect someone not ride a car if they need one for survival.
The same is true for the fast-food industry: a lot of people dont cook anymore and just go to McDonald's. Hell, a lot of people don't even make their coffee in the morning anymore.
If we want to get back on track, make a law that reflect this otherwise, fuck off.
I get what you're saying. I'm not sure if it's something that is fixable giving that we participate in a public forum. Maybe the federation isn't a great idea after all, or maybe we overthink it. I don't know.
They will know the user but not the person in real life.
Even if you know that my user is more conservative on some points or more liberal on others, how can you use that for nefarious action ? Unless you know where I live and who I am, the data is useless.
People need to be aware that sharing your personal information on the internet is never a good idea.
It seems that what you would like is something like 4chan, where the post will get deleted if it's not popular. But even that, there is no way to prevent data harvesting.
If it's public, then it is public. There is nothing you can do about it. Encryption wouldn't solve anything either because you want this data to be read by everyone so you cannot really encrypt it.
The fediverse is kind of the same as a public room where anyone can come in and just listen, take note, see who is talking and respond in the same way.
This is the point of social media. If you don't want to participate in it because of privacy, then don't and just lurk (or listen) like most people do.
By definition, if it's on the internet, it's pretty much there forever. People need to be careful on what they share on the public space, in the same way you would when talking to a big crowd. You are not talking with your friends here, you are talking to the world. If you are any privacy, you just cannot have it here. That's impossible.
For some people it's offensive, for others it's not. At this point, it is subjective. If everyone thinks it's offensive, then it is otherwise, it depends on each individual.
I don't think it's that controversial.
I'm not arguing anything, I'm talking about that specific meme, not about hate speech in general. I'm not sure what you are trying to say either :/
What I'm saying is that there is a fine line between funny and hateful. For some people this kind of meme is funny, for others, it's hateful.
To me, that's funny. I understand that some people can take this seriously and come to think that what the meme is saying is actually happening which may bring more harm than good.
