I have no problem with "pay what you can". I just hate "you must donate X amount to use this software". If I need to donate, then it is not a donate. It is payment.

yes, those.

For it to be donationware, you must not be able to use it without donating.

You need to pass host header. But if you really want to hide your IP, you need to proxy your outgoing activities too.

Did you just used an AI with sudo? lol 😄

Yes. But you can still do that, there are so many unmoderated communities anyway.

I think you can migrate files while pict-rs running in read-only mode, without downtime. Then changing the S3 url should be enough, I guess? :)

Read-only mode is a v0.5 feature tho.

I can suggest using other cheap alternatives since there are many. I tried Contabo before and it wasn’t a good experience.

90% of Lemmy's storage/bandwidth load comes from the top 100 communities. So communities with lil activity probably wouldn't create much of a burden.

And yes, both instances must register on the site and choose which instances they allow. Either allowing instances explicitly or with some filters.

Maybe. I need to check Kbin API docs.

I guess instances can choose that period if they want to. I will implement it 👍

It is about power. If they have more than 50% of the users, then all other instances should comply with their changes and obey them. If they don’t, then they’ll be blocked by more than half of the users. No instance owner will take this risk.

I’m trying to explain you that you don’t really need to own something to own it. If you have enough power, you have it already.

You can technically create but you can never be sure that your mails will received.

They don’t usurp the service but make it uncomfortable/unstable to you.

Literally this. Right now you can’t create your own mail server because big corpos like Google, Microsoft is going to make you end up in spam folder.

Now, apply this to fediverse.

But I guess due to this problem, this post can't reach to them :/

Rust? eww 🤮. Someone should rewrite it in Java(!)

Thanks 🙏 Even knowing it would be implemented in future is enough :)

I wish I knew Swift so I could help a bit but unfortunately it is kinda bloated to me.

Seeing my PR here made me feel good. 3 months and ~60 commits for only one lil field was too much 😅

It's very nice and reassuring that all the commits are audited subtly though.
