Could also happen if your ISP uses CGNAT, which put a bunch of users behind a pool of IP addresses. When one bad user got the shared IP addresses into an IP blocklist somewhere, the entire group will now taste what it's like being treated as filthy bots by half of the internet (a.k.a. captcha hell). Ironically, you can escape the captcha hell by using a VPN with "clean" IP reputation.
I'm self-hosting an instance of voyager and it's been great so far. The devs are pushing updates so often, sometimes I have to update it twice in a single days.
You could setup a status monitoring system and then configured it to send out messages for critical alerts. For example, I'm using Vigil to monitor my services and it's configured to send email alerts when something is down and then sms alerts when things are still down for too long (in case I didn't read the email).
This seems to be the easiest solution. Use the provided docker-compose file, then configure traefik to route requests to your lemmy domain to port 8536. How to do that depends on how you currently run traefik as there are multiple ways to configure it. Could be as simple as adding a label to the service named proxy in lemmy's docker-compose file.
In the past few years, a huge proportion of posts that made it to the front page are same stuff reposted over and over again. Maybe it's good to have a fresh start.
Not surprising as the internet archive got into trouble and bad press during pandemic because it allowed unlimited ebook landing. They probably can't afford getting sued anymore by the same publishers.
Unlike regular TVs, this TV has a dedicated screen attached at the bottom that show nothing but ads, so it's not comparable with showing ads in a show. They'll be showing ads at the bottom of the show, constantly, like an ad banner in a website.
The TV cost would probably be paid off in a year with just $1 worth of ads per day. If they earn, say, $5/1000 impressions of ads (which is a bit on the low side for US citizens' eyeballs), they'll just need to show you 200 ads per day to earn $1 just from ad impressions. Assuming the TV is on about 8 hours per day, that's just 1 ads every 2.5 minutes.
They'll probably show more ads than this, and have deals with smart tv app makers to install their apps in the smart tv, and collect and sell customer profile data in the ad market as well, so I think it's not hard to imagine they can profit from the TV, as long as they run the service competently.
Now, all smart TVs come with ads. But you still pay for the TV. All of that changes today. During the signup process we ask questions about you and your household to optimize your ad experience. Brands in turn, pay for the non-intrusive ad on the Smart Screen. That’s how you get Telly free. Plain and simple. It's time you got cut in on the deal.
They do have a point though. Is there any smart TV maker that don't put ads on their TV?
Meh, your TV cost money while this TV is free, have an extra screen (for ads) and have built-in camera and microphone too! All I need to do is to connect it 24/7 to internet. Such a great deal! No one would give free TV to me, except probably my brother, so you could probably say the company is like a big brother to me.
(a) Use the Product as the primary television in Your household;
(b) Keep the Product connected to WiFi and internet; and
(c ) Not use any software on Your WiFi network that with advertising blocking capability.
(d) Not make physical modifications to the Product or attach peripheral devices to the Product not expressly approved by Telly. Any attempt to open the Product’s enclosure will be deemed an unauthorized modification.
If we discover that You are not abiding by the requirements above or have disconnected the Product from an internet connection or WiFi for more than short periods each month, You will no longer be able to use the Service and You must return any Products in your possession to Telly. Failure to return Products to Telly will result in Telly charging the credit card on file. If you do abide by the Terms of Service, your credit card will not be charged.
This time it may actually work though. All they need to do is just showing you constant ads in the extra attached screen based on contents currently shown on the tv as well as your profile data (that you voluntarily submit during registration). They already got your credit card so if you violate their term and causing them to lose advertising money, they'll just charge the tv cost to your CC (or send it to collection if the charge bounce).
Also, internet advertising was not as advanced as today. These days those ads companies can figure out how to make money just by collecting your online and media consumption habits. Something as intrusive as a tv with capability to inspect what displayed on screen will certainly worth a lot of money to the advertisers. And this tv actually have a camera and microphone too! An ideal customer data mining device.
Reddit will mess up again, and when they do, those fresh batch of refugees will find plenty of alternatives to choose from thanks to the current batch of refugees accelerating developments of various Reddit alternatives.
How can Apple got this wrong? Pretty much all meteorological data are sourced from the same set of weather forecasting data produced from running weather simulations on weather agencies supercomputers using satellites and ground observation data. The forecasting models will pretty much produce almost similar results when fed with the same data, which is why weather reports are usually pretty similar even though they're produced by different weather agencies.
Does Apple actually run their own weather simulations here? Probably for their hyper local next-hour weather prediction feature? Or could it be that Apple is using some "AI" for their weather forecasting and the AI conjured some number out of its ass instead of running full physics simulation?
Not just similar, it IS the Sync for Reddit with the Reddit part gutted off. Looking at the version number in the screenshot, the last version of Sync for Reddit was also v23. Which means it's going to be perfect.
