Maybe Lemmy with federation disabled and use a nice 3rd party UI as the default interface for it. If you want to link up with similar community hubs, you can set federation to allow list mode and only federate with each other.
I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

“What?! You all wanted electric mail trucks, so here they are!”
(Sadly / Probably)
Anyone else feel like theyre one step from being blind?
More than once, I’ve lost my phone in my other hand. So, yes. lol
Yeah, it’s sunk cost fallacy all the way down. We’re just being harvested because…fuck us I guess.
Nice! Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of it. Planning to eventually replace my custom Snapdrop with Pairdrop since they’ve made quite a few other improvements.
Quickly send files, paste images/text snippets between devices.
I’m using the older Snapdrop (which PD was forked from) with some patches I made to:
It has 100% replaced emailing things to myself or shuffling files to/from Nextcloud. I probably use it to send text (URLs, clipboard contents, etc) to/from my phone as much as I use it for sending files back and forth.
Discovered a couple of them through YouTube and landed on their Patreon pages. One has almost the exact same taste in music as I do and grew up on, but he covers them in Spanish insanely well. Worth a couple dollars a month for sure.
A couple of the (music) artists I follow on Patreon give you access to mp3’s. That’s like…exactly where I want the money to go (the artist) and what I want in return (a file I “own”).
Right, and I’m assuming Threads works on the Mastodon-style user follow paradigm, which means, currently, anyway, Lemmy wouldn’t be able to follow them directly.
But the ad-bot could, in theory, tag a Lemmy community and have that show up on Lemmy (at least, that seems to be how Mastodon content arrives here).
My instance preemptively defederated from Threads, but I’m assuming those ads are going to be served to Threads users via API, right, and not federated out?
Same. My “app” is just the webapp pinned as a PWA. Can’t even tell it’s not an app.
Come to think of it, most of my “apps” are that; very few locally installed, and that’s how I like it.
I run a custom build of Nginx with a few extra modules compiled in:
Some guidance can be found here: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-waf/admin-guide/nginx-plus-modsecurity-waf-owasp-crs/
That guidance is for NginxPlus, but you can compile the dynamic module yourself with the community versions.
I’m only about halfway through it, but the daughter looks like Catherine from Veep which makes her abominable behavior feel very “out of character”.
I’d go further and demand that the team I’m hired for re-write the app completely and not just re-engineer it from the AI slop codebase.
Don’t forget AI is now the term for anything a computer does.
That’s one of my biggest pet peeves when I’m interviewing new hires. They’ll say things like “In my previous position, I wrote bots for [business purpose]”.
Bot? No, you wrote a script. I realize it’s a matter of semantics, lol, but words have meaning.
It really was. I was excited about new tech back then, and what it could do for me.
Now? Everything has to be “smart” and tied to the cloud, pointlessly tied to a subscription, has to harvest data about me, and is generally working against me on all fronts.
At some point between the mid 2000’s and today, I went from a hardcore tech enthusiast to a quasi-Luddite.
Curious if this going to affect google results in Searx. Not sure how it works (scraping page, API, etc)
Literally never, lol, except if I catch an episode of Married…with Children and the Larry Storch School of Acting / Heating and Air Conditioner Repair is mentioned.
Not that, specifically, though it might be indirectly?
I’m basing it off of one of Gyles Brandreth’s yarns where he described how he dealt with abusive constituents when he was a MP.
Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive letter, and they’ve signed your name at the bottom. […]
Whether he came up with that or adapted it from something prior, I don’t know.
That’s way too many bots for people to block. Yes, I’m aware there’s a setting to block all bots, but that’s too all or nothing.
If you insist on going that route, maybe stand up a dedicated instance like one of the other repost instances (and only post to local communities there) so people can just block that instance.
