  • Thanks. This is pushing the limits of my current understanding, but unless I'm mistaken, this reads like 'anyone who chooses may hijack part of your domain at any time if you both use cloudflare'. Sounds crazy.

  • It's not that you're wrong. It's more that I don't understand what you're proposing as an alternative. To add to the comments here pointing out that that's how CDNs work: for many designs of website, the CDN essentially is the website, being served from a cache by the provider. Even when this isn't the case, you would normally have a load balancer in front of whatever was serving your website so that if you need to swap out the server for maintenance upgrade, etc. you don't need to tell who your visitors to go to a different address. In that case, your certificate would be attached to load balancer rather than the server behind it.

    If this was a 1990s and I were trying to run my own server on my own hardware in my bedroom, you might have a point, but please explain how you would implement an alternative in any meaningful way today.

  • If you follow the links, you'll see that it's essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:

    CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.

  • Sorry but at this point my money is on the Post Office being incompetent and dishonest. They have form given the ongoing Horizon scandal.

    • This is a newly introduced system
    • There's no evidence it has ever worked correctly
    • I'm not seeing any corroborating evidence, e.g. people being prosecuted for making or selling forged stamps
    • I'm not seeing an explanation offered as to why such forgery is only happening now as opposed to before barcodes were introduced
  • We're now in the second week of an incompatible pre release version on SDF. Other instances have also reported federation problems with this instance. I haven't seen any sort of statement here about the situation or action to fix it. People in glass houses etc...

    I came to Lemmy largely because of the Reddit API switch off and that's effectively what this instance has done...

  • I don't know how 'irreversible' it might be in this particular situation, but I've had to fall back to one of my alt accounts on another instance. I'm not sure how sensible it is to stay on a smaller instance where the admins think it's clever to deploy a pre-release server version to production without notice, testing, or a rollback strategy

  • sdfpubnix @lemmy.sdf.org

    Can we roll back to server 0.18.x please?

  • Blocking over 300 including ALL town/city communities because they are ALWAYS negative BUT Lemmy Connect also lets me filter (hide) on regex for communities and posts. This is invaluable to me- I was going insane trying to keep up with the arms race of cross posts to identical or near identical named communities on endless new instances.

    Posts filter:

    /elon musk/, /heathcliff without heathcliff/, /neuralink/, /furry/

    Communities filter:

    /politics/, /news/, /meme/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/, /moe/, /dank/, /yiff/, /shitty/, /horror/

  • The thing is the VS code handles everything (with extensions). If I want to use pandoc, or CSV to markdown table, python linting, Go,, whatever, there's extensions that can handle all of these equally well and consistently, for example format on save.

    If I want to use jetbrains then the pycharm for python, intelliJ for Java, Goland for golang... Then there's licencing depending on whether I'm using a personal licence or corporate laptop, whether I have to get a licence from my employer etc.

    For me it's not so much that it's so good, but that it works with everything in a consistent and obvious way plus I can install it on any machine I might be using.

  • I'd check that you're actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there's kid3 which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can install kid3-qt which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn't pull an entire desktop environment in if you're using a non-kde environment.

  • It didn't used to be this way, but modern power adaptors are required to implement standby power:

    In the past, standby power was largely a non-issue for users, electricity providers, manufacturers, and government regulators. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, awareness of the issue grew and it became an important consideration for all parties. Up to the middle of the decade, standby power was often several watts or even tens of watts per appliance. By 2010, regulations were in place in most developed countries restricting standby power of devices sold to one watt (and half that from 2013).
