Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’

  • Neither of those 3 points have anything to do with what I said. This isn't a conversation about you having to tolerate me, it's a conversation about what state actors can do to censor Lemmy. Which is very little, because I can host an instance out of my bedroom and do basically whatever I want.

  • How am I, a non-Amrican citizen, going to lose something that I host out of my bedroom because Amricans got upset over what I said?

    • Is there a mmo equivalent of the fediverse?

  • That's about right. It's also stuck in time, a decade behind SL.

    But they've figured out how to do federated grids, which is cool.

  • That's fair.

    And not that I'm doubting your claim, but this is the first I hear of it; Do you have any sources for SL content being p2p? It would explain why it so regularly breaks.

  • Second Life? Everything is hosted locally and created by the players.

    Did you mean OpenGrid OpenSim? Second Life is not hosted by anyone but Linden Lab.

  • There is a whole network of conservative fediverse instances and you're free to go to them. They also allow CSAM and outward racism, which is why this side of the fediverse doesn't federate with them. Hope that helps :)

  • The misunderstanding seems to be between software and hardware. It is good to reboot Windows and some other operating systems because they accumulate errors and quirks. It is not good to powercycle your hardware, though. It increases wear.

    I'm not on an OS that needs to be rebooted, I count my uptime in months.

    I don't want you to pick up a new anxiety about rebooting your PC, though. Components are built to last, generally speaking. Even if you powercycled your PC 5 times daily you'd most likely upgrade your hardware long before it wears out.

  • To me, the appeal is that my workflow depends less on my computer and more on my ability to connect to a server that handles everything for me. Workstation, laptop or phone? Doesn't matter, just connect to the right IPs and get working. Linux is, of course, the holy grail of interoperability, and I'm all Linux. With a little bit of set up, I can make a lot of things talk to each other seamlessly. SMB on Windows is a nightmare but on Linux if I set up SSH keys then I can just open a file manager and type sftp://

    <hostname>

    and now I'm browsing that machine as if it was a local folder. I can do a lot of work from my genuinely-trash laptop because it's the server that's doing the heavy lifting

    TL;DR -

    My workflow becomes "client agnostic" and I value that a lot

  • Soulseek can work behind NAT, you just can't connect to everyone. It can appear working, but not actually be.

    If you want to be sure, check if your soulseek port is actually open from the outside using something like this https://portchecker.co/

    • Which other disk backup solution do you recommend other than Clonezilla?

    Jump

  • I'm sure there's ways to do it, but I can't do it and it's not something I'm keen to learn given that I've already kind of solved the problem :p

  • I think it’s great you brought up RAID but I believe when Immich or any software mess things up it’s not recoverable right?

    RAID is not a backup, no. It's redundancy. It'll keep your service up and running in the case of a disk failure and allow you to swap in a new disk with no data loss. I don't know how Immich works but I would put it in a container and drop a snapshot anytime I were to update it so if it breaks I can just revert.

    • Which other disk backup solution do you recommend other than Clonezilla?

    Jump

  • I recommend it over a full disk backup because I can automate it. I can't automate full disk backups as I can't run dd reliably from a system that is itself already running.

    It's mostly just to ensure that I have config files and other stuff I've spent years building be available in the case of a total collapse so I don't have to rebuilt from scratch. In the case of containers, those have snapshots. Anytime I'm working on one, I drop a snapshot first so I can revert if it breaks. That's essentially a full disk backup but it's exclusive to containers.

    edit: if your goal is to minimize downtime in case of disk failure, you could just use RAID
