  • You could say the same thing about quite a few people in the States, you know.

  • You can still like the project as a concept and not like the people in charge. Regardless, this is a good piece of media people should review when considering using the OS.

  • Does that classify him at the back of the running cars? Or does that throw him behind everyone, including DNFs?

  • Average usage for me hovers around 180-200W. I'm running the following:

    • unRAID server with a Ryzen 5 5600G proc, 3 SSD/2 HDD.
    • QNAP TS-251+
    • Proxmox server running an i5-4460, 2 SSD/1 HDD
    • UDM Base
    • Unifi 8port gig switch with 3 ports providing about 12W POE, give or take.
    • ISP provided modem

    Given all it does for me, I'm ok with the tradeoff.

  • I think that's been pretty obvious form the start. It was clearly priced at a premium upon being announced, and their initial production was cut from ~1mil units to just south of 400k. They know they won't have many buyers for this first gen product and are pricing/producing as such.

  • Not a bad idea! The attack vector issue they mention in the PR comments is valid, though. Not displaying those errors gives an attacker no confirmation that a user whose account they're trying to attack exists, if they're trying known used passwords. But good on you doing what you can to contribute to the project!

  • Yup. S76 drew a pretty clear line in the sand when they went all in on Flatpak. I'm glad some derivatives have the backbone to not back Canonical's decision making.

  • For anyone who might know:

    So if I'm understanding this right, the bot account you create for this is the one subscribing to every community, so it's known to the local system, right? As long as I'm not mixing up my main account and my bot account, there should be no observable change on my own account?

    How is storage affected on this? If the bot account is subscribing to a number of communities across the fediverse, all that remote content is going to take up quite a bit of space, no?

    And will 2FA be supported at any point?

  • I fall firmly in the Ubuntu/derivative camp for the most part. My laptop is on Pop, some of my virtual servers are on Ubuntu. Only exception is UnRAID, which is technically Slackware.

  • That is a lot of data collection...

  • Shouldn't be a problem if users are promoted, and it's an option in system, not opt out.

  • Nope. Closest thing I do to crypto is purchase satoshis to fund value for value in Podcasting 2.0, and that one time I bought doge in the dip that it never really rose from, but that's it.

  • I assume so, yeah. That pins on Meta's moderation doing its job. I'm talking the other direction, though - Threads/Meta scraping your data from your Mastodon account.

  • Console, no. But somehow my parents convinced me to give away my copy of Pokémon Blue to one of my cousins. One of the dumbest things I've done, even if It wasn't entirely my fault.

  • Bear in mind that this blocks you from seeing Threads posts on your profile. Unless you private your profile, this changes nothing as far as what they're able to see/pull from your account. Their official documentation states that the block only prevents users from seeing or retrieving content from those servers. You'd probably have to be performing some DNS-level filtering on incoming requests or web firewalling from the host level to prevent their incoming requests.
