Can you please demonstrate how async workflows and monads resolve this issue?

Wouldn't effect systems still be considered exceptions, but handled differently?

What does Google play do to remediate it?

Couldn't you do that by just joining an existing server?

It would be in his interest to debate again and recoup the loss. With a bit of coaching he can probably bridge the gap a bit (but Harris would likely still come on top). Harris only looked good in comparison, but she was overall still pretty awful.

Even if I disable account registration, I may still be liable if somehow the content ended up on my instance due to federation right? Or is that not a concern?

Is there a still a concern for self hosters of public instances regarding CSAM content? And if so, any guidance on how to mitigate it?

I am very interested in self hosting, but I am worried of its legal repercussions, especially since I am an immigrant in the country where I live and afraid to get in any legal trouble.

What's the benefit? You listed some minor things like ZFS and systemd, but is there a major benefit?

Also, can't you do that with Linux? I use openRC on gentoo.

I've heard BSD people criticize Linux ecosystem as "fractured", and this discourages me from BSD. I see Linux ecosystem as one that grants you choice, and I love that. This criticism gives me the impression that BSD takes that away, that where will be one standard way to do many things. Maybe I am wrong or misunderstood.

Many people will always be obsessed with "engagement", and there's no saving them. They've been under the influence of big tech social media for too long, and it becomes an addiction.

The fediverse is an option to get away from this, but it certainly is not a cure. The only cure is the willingness to help yourself and change.

You know who else is obsessed with engagement? Clickbait authors

So the OS jellyfin runs on is Alpine?

Oh wow that's awesome! With containers or on bare metal?

So many distributions impressed me, but I think gentoo, nixos, Guix and Alpine impressed me most. Maybe Zorin with its beautiful design for newcomers.

If I had to pick one, it may be Alpine. The idea of having a fully usable OS with so little is really impressive. It even has a fully functional build system similar to Arch's ABS (on which the AUR is based)

Gentoo, nixos and Guix are really impressive and make computing a pleasant activity.

Then yes indeed were thinking differently. To me, email has already lost to big tech. The technical possibility of hosting email is there, but you can't even reach most users of the world without a lot of work.

There's several vulnerabilities:

• the fediverse unfortunately remains quite centralized. Most users wanna join the big servers. If it wasn't for the big servers literally driving people away, we would've been even more centralized
• most people have no issue with corporate presence in the fediverse. They're okay with blue sky and okay with threads. In fact, clearly Gargaron is okay with meta and threads.
• big tech already has a federated server that dwarves the rest of the fediverse combined: threads. Yes it's still not quite there yet, but if they complete its federation, they will dominate it.
• gargaron showed he's okay selling out to Meta. What prevents another instance admin? A corporation could easily offer enough money to a handful of instance admins and control all these instances.

In my opinion, the fediverse as it exists today is very vulnerable to domination by big tech. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is it is too small for them to care that much.

If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, big tech will dominate it. If we want to fight big tech, we need to rethink our strategy and the fediverse, because right now, the fediverse is not ready to take it on.

The fediverse will never destroy big tech unfortunately. In their worst case, they will incorporate it and easily dominate.

Is there even a good alternative to Google? DuckDuckGo does not count to me as it is close source

To each their own I guess, databases are ridiculously expensive when managed and I always self host.

A team? For what OP described, all you need is one person

My issue with it arises when data is not interpreted as I expected, like because of weird white space issues for example.
