I am an american but i think it works like this:

• streets are bike friendly
• more reasonable to just bike everywhere so everyone does
• city may provide free bikes to use
• more demand for bikes, more competition, less expensive bikes
• less bike theft in general as a result
• these aren't $4k+ bespoke bikes
• something something socialized healthcare something something better labor laws something something higher taxes but a better quality of life. Why steal? Be happy.

We don't have these things here. Except for expensive bikes, that's all we have. That's why I got these boltcutters...

You mean the country that owns and has always owned .ml TLD, which states rules you must follow if you want to register a domain with that TLD, which states the penalties which include forfiet of your domain name, surpised people when they did what they said they would do?

This is kind of interesting to see how the public views ownership. There seems to be an assumption that buying xyz.com is akin to buying a utility (we pay for water service to drink and drown or waterboard). This ain't it. A domain name is a registration in a database on servers that need to be constantly online, it had costs, it has governance concerns and technical infrastructure that must be maintained. There isn't a higher power here, no government owns the internet, but some governments do own their own TLDs. This makes it possible to have mali.ml vs visitbeautifulmali420.squarespace.com. It might feel like you have the power to buy fuckmali.ml and put turn it into goatse but mali can nuke your registration if they wanted to. How did these countries get the TLDs? ICANN. But don't think ICANN is going to jump in and break their rules for you.

This sucks but ICANN has a solution.. there are many many TLDs out there now. They all work the same: it's just a name, point it where you go and it works like any .com or .org. or whatever. Fun ones like .zip and .xxx. grab one you like but be sure to read the rules when registering. Some TLDs do NOT allow private registration. Most country based TLDs (ccTLDs) require that you live in that country and provide proof of citizenship.

This has been around since the inception of the internet. There are alternatives to ICANN, but I am not positive you will want to use them because:

• your visitors will need to use these alternatives on all devices or on the router in order to access your site.
• legit domain holders may not have records on these alternate services but malicious actors might. If we change the IP to a malicious actor for apple servers at the DNS level because the TLDs arent using the root-servers.net, anyone using those TLD root servers could easily be hacked.

It's not great, but ICANN starts the chain of trust upon which the internet relies.

It looks like you have two free bikes in front of you. I wonder if they float in the river.

You're undopted.

They wouldn’t need a dongle for phone cases, they could easily make room for a headphone jack, but they don’t as a concious decision for a few reasons:

• “people don’t want or use them” as “the market” has “spoken”. In other words, phone manufacturers removed it, the public didn’t revolt, people bought more wireless headphones and other manufacturers followed suit.
• less lint in your phone I guess. A few more extra phone features, or capacity or battery life. USB-C truly is the future. Why add a feature that most people won’t use instead of features they will use?

I mean there are many MANY reasons why we would want to keep the jack:

• we could actually use the FM receiver that phones are capable of and use the headphone jack as an antenna, as was the case when smart phones started hitting the market.
• batteries die and the wireless headphones have batteries. Really kinda silly to have two products that can do what you need with one wire but they no longer can because there are no magic pixies to send over the air from one to the other.

They were down but aren’t. This is going to happen from time to time for reasons, but most importantly (and this is not an advert or endorsement for centralized services like reddit):

• these instances are run by small teams, maybe even one person per instance. By “run by” I mean the admins who can actually host and support the hosting environment of the instance, not moderators though that’s an important task too.
• At reddit or other for-profit companies, multiple teams of people monitor multiple data centers worth of servers, have 24/7 tech support crew, dashboards, alarms, alerts, escallation proceedures drafted by other teams, people they can escallate problems to including usually a decent sized team at the physical datacenter due to the amount of servers they buy because of what they can afford based off advertising income because the site is popular enough, which is why it’s much more rare to see these services go down.

But so many things can and do fail, including:

• updates (dependencies, breaking updates, “this should just have worked but it didn’t, why?!”)
• server issues (too many memes and now the disk has runeth over)
• one server that gets overloaded or is in a data center that has a network failure, or a hardware failure on the server where the virtual server is hosted
• account got hacked
• 0 day exploit targeted directly at this server
• DoS or DDoS attack
• Admin has a day job that they need to do to keep the lights on at home and at the lemmy instance and has to do their day job work.

Speaking from experience, but not with lemmy in particular.

I don't think you will find one easily, but you can get a small usb-c to 1/8" headphone audio jack (TRRS or TRS) pretty easily. Otherwise maybe check out the jelly phone.. not sure if its out but its tiny and newer but has a headphone jack.

Why is this so hard? UPS tech had been around for a while and I still can't find linux drivers to support the cyberpower one I have.

Which makes sense because god is a made up concept used by the rich and powerful to control peasants.

And by rich, we are talking yuge amounts of money, considering the GOP calls a family making $400k/year "middle class". Middle class isn't rich, we are talking about people who make a lot more than $400k/year.

The only people who benefit from voting red are the super rich who use their money to influence poor dumb dumbs into thinking that they too will be rich one day, despite only making under $100k/year.

They've been wrong for a very long time. They are still waiting for trickle down economic (reaganomics) to work. Its been decades and nothing close to trickle down has ever come to fruition.

Non-americans: trickle down is the idea that when we boost the profit of CEOs that money will "trickle down" to everyone else at the company. A laughable idea that has and will never work.

You need a wifi router. Connect the wan to your network. One mac, wan doesn't know about your devices.

Subscribe to both as see them in your feed? I mean, if you only wanted to see those two you could only subscribe to those two.

What you are specifically asking for can be built into clients for individual users, but isn't something which is going to work like a public multireddit, at least not that I know of, not right now.

Ok, consider matrix which is federated e2e chat. There are a few instances but the "dominant one" is matrix.org, the public test instance setup by the matrix devs. You probably do not want to use this one unless you absolutely have to. The reason being is that the instance is so large that chats take a while to load and sync and there can be some downtime as the servers are overloaded lots.

You can instead run your own little instance with no sign ups, just you, and still chat to everyone on matrix.org as well as the other federated matrix instances. Bonus, when matrix.org goes down, you can still chat with users on your instance and other federated matrix instances instead of waiting for matrix.org, your chosen, "dominant" instance to come back online.

This is a mental trap folks get into. Centralized services suck and are antithetical to the web's design.

Think of these federated instances like email and ask the same question: "which will be the dominant email service? Gmail? Fastmail? Aol? Protonmail?" The answer is you choose the one you want for the reasons you want, and don't sweat it because it will likely communicate across the rest of the internet (unless blocked by spam filters).

Things to consider in an instance:

• do I like the end result of my handle (e.g. rarely@sh.itjust.works vs someone1235@lemmy.ml)?
• does the instances values somewhat align with mine? I mean to say if you consider joining threads as your fediverse instance, you mind find less content or a worse interaction with content in general? If you join a right wing server as a leftist, you might find the only content you can access is content you don't want to see, as other instances have blocked that instance..
• think they will be around for a while? Think again! All of lemmy instances are run by volunteers. If you don't mind instance hopping when one goes down, just pick one. Guessing which instance will have the resources to continue in years time isn't something you're going to get a good feel for years to come. Lemmy content isn't going to easily monetized meaning likely most instances will need to rely on donations in some form to pay the datacenters who literally keep the lights on.

Sure.. this was just said to simplify what is technically possible. Should you? No maybe not, for multiple reasons. Can you, technically? Yes absolutely. I don't know what's the limit but I know that if you have to ask here on lemmy, you might not be anywhere near that limit. Unless you are the go daddy.

Tl;dr: you can add millions of sites to a single IP if you want. Very common in commercial hosting as well.

Sure I guess my point is they fear the truth so much that they invented their own form of the truth.

+1 for nginx, although there has been some concern because nginx is developed by a group of russians though it is open source and appears to still be widely used. If this worries you, look into traefik.

Otherwise does your ProxMox setup run docker containers? If so you can use NginxProxyManager which has a web gui for configuring your virtual hosts.

At a high level what you need is this:

• all domains routed to your host (or home if self hosting) IP.
• that IP needs to have a reverse proxy server like traefik or nginx listening on port 80 and port 443 if you want ssl/tls.
• your app servers which run lemmy, nextcloud, etc can be anywhere on your network where your reverse proxy can access. You'll need to create vhosts for each. The server uses the Host header to determine which IP to reverse proxy to, eithe lemmy.moorefam.net or nextcloud.moorefam.net
• the reverse proxy will get the content from lemmy or nextcloud and serve it via that IP and port.
• ensure your home router is port forwarded on 80 (and 443 if you want ssl/tls) if you want to access these instances from the public internet but beware, you might want to add a firewall in-between if you aren't confident in your router's firewall.

The thing the right fears most is the truth.
