what is happening with this "manual community bridging"? honest question

same but worse, I also need to visit the toilet and now can't. yes I'm a grown man, why?

did you check it in the trash? maybe yougrabbed it accidentally along with something on the table. or if it's a micro sd,maybe you have own blown it away and it's near the desk, on the floor

honestly a few years ago I didn't agree with it, but now things are enshittifying so much that it really seems to be the better option now. it'll unfortunately bar even those from using their phones who would use it for other things than mindless scrolling, using ai chatbots and playing microtransaction and ad filled games, but for the whole class and the whole generation it would be better in the end.

Opening a port doesn't mean you are opening your whole home network just the specific services you want.

until a new high severity vulnerability gets discovered and some bot exploits it on your server, taking it over. and you won't even know. if they were a bit smart, you won't notice it ever either.

but there's more! its not only the reverse proxy that can be exploited! over the past few years, jellyfin has patched a dozen vulnerabilities, some of which allowed execution of arbitrary system commands. one of the maintainers have expressed that nobody should be running those old versions anymore, because they are not safe even only on the LAN. and this was just jellyfin.

the whole point of privacy extensions is that it replaces the MAC with a random something. the address is totally unrelated to the MAC

your day becomes so bad that it overflows and wraps around

also, put a space before history so the useless searches don't end up in the history

if that's true, I assume it is because they don't know about the security consequences, nor about more secure ways. and for 99% that is the worst solution, because they won't tighten security with a read only filesystem, DMZ and whatnot, worse, they won't be patching their systems on schedule, but maybe in a year.

99% users should not expose any public services other than wireguard or something based on it. on a VPS the risk my be lower, but on a home network, hell no!

ok, not booming in that sense. but in comparison to what would I expect from the circumstances

I don't know, but for reddit you may try one of the redlib instances, and gothub for github. I don't think discord has such frontends

https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

https://codeberg.org/gothub/gothub

all of these run the database in a separate container, not inside the app container. the latter would be hard to fix, but the first is just that way to make documentation easier, to be able to give you a single compose file that is also functional in itself. none of them use their own builds of the database server (though lemmy with its postgres variant may be a bit of an outlier), so they are relatively easy to configure for an existing db server.

all I do in cases like this is look up the database initialization command (in the docker compose file), run that in my primary postgres container, create a new docker network and attach it to the postgres stack and the new app's stack (stack: the container composition defindd by the docker compose file). and then I tell the app container, usually through envvars or command line parameters embedded in the compose file, that the database server is at xy hostname, and docker's internal DNS server will know that for xy hostname it should return the IP address of the container that is named xy, through the appropriate docker network. and also the user and pass for connection. from then, from the app's point of view, my database server in that other container is just like a dedicated physical postgres machine you put on the network with its own cable going to a switch.

unless very special circumstances, where the app needs a custom build of postgres, they can share a single instance just fine. but in that case you would have to run 2 postgres instances even without docker, or migrate to the modified postgres, which is an option with docker too.

I have very rarely ran into such issues. can you give an example of something that works like that? it sounds to be very half-assed by the developer. only pihole comes to mind right now (except for the db part, because I think it uses sqlite)

edit: I now see your examples

It's not like it's so hard to rebuild a container for the occasional services that needs it. but it's still much better than needing to do it with every single service

most people want computers to be unnoticable and boring. I agree, we need more boring tech

professional UI designers don't seem to agree. they always feel the urge to come up with the next worst design

If you press it down before the relevant stage of the boot process is running there might not actually run any code to even detect the key press.

I think I have seen it work on several machines, but stopped doing it because often it does not

or about an operating system, LOL! oh nevermind that it's been uploading all your personal documents and pictures to a questionable cloud storage service without your given informed consent, for years, or that it recently started screenshotting the everydays of millions if not billions of users (among them businesses dealing with your data), to scrape together as much information as they possibly can

What's the business case for AI?

printing money by deception. oh and also votes, probably.

fuck discord. this is the only thing I want to add to the other 2 responses

and mind me, matrix wouldn't be that much better in that regard. better, but still bad, because it's a bad format for this.

but without the kinda
