I’ve had great luck with Dreamhost. The cost is fairly minimal, and they don’t force any analytics service on you.

Remember the I Am Rich app?

I did almost all my browsing via BaconReader, so I thankfully didn’t see any of that crap.

17+ years. It had been going downhill for a while, but the disdain for the volunteer mods and cutting BaconReader and the API changes was to much.

Great, instead of one overvalued company, Jeff Bezos will own majority stakes in multiple overvalued companies.

I’d rather see the gas engine as nothing but a glorified generator and have everything run off of electric rather than try to smash together two different drivetrains into some sort of franken-car like they are now.

A permanent ink marker making a big slash across the container for one of your eye’s contacts ahead of time makes things easier to find. Just look for the big line across the container and you know that it’s your left or right eye, and the other isn’t. The important thing is to always do the same eye between orders, so you don’t get used to the line always being the left and all of a sudden it changes to right from one order to another.

I live in the SW US. We could probably provide power for most of the US with all the sun we get here and all the empty space without much of a hassle. The great thing is that it would likely be far less expensive than a good number of the alternatives.

Big brain time - research where the new shoreline will be with sea rise and buy the land all around there. Wait a few years and boom - beachfront property.

Agent Smith was right.

Lemmy.world had to start using CloudFlare because some script kiddies were DDOSing it. Some people were complaining that it encourages centralization, etc.

Personally, I love it. The service you get even at the lowest level of payment ($20/mo) is great. And what you get for free can’t be compared.

It looks like it scans and flags on the outbound (user download of the image), so as long as it sits in front of your instance, it should work just fine.

You’re still responsible for removing the material, complying with any preservation requirements, and any other legal obligations, and notifying CloudFlare that it’s been removed.

It would be ideal if it could block on upload, so the material never makes it to your instance, but that would likely be something else like integration with PhotoDNA or something similar.

I know that people like to dump on Cloudflare, but it’s incredibly easy to enable a built-in CSAM scanner with CloudFlare.

On that note, I’d like to see built-in moderation tools using something like PDQ and TMK+PDQF and a shared hashtable of CSAM and other material that may be outlawed or desirable to filter out in different regions (e.g. terrorist content, Nazi content in Germany, etc.)

As much as I dislike Oracle, they’ve been pretty good stewards of the Java open source project, and haven’t had any issues with anyone else rebadging the JDK, whether it be Zulu, BellSoft, Amazon, Microsoft, SAP, IBM, etc.

If anything, I’d like to see them put their money where their mouth is and hire Linux devs to continue Oracle Linux in an open manner.

Probably going to spin up an open identi.ca instance. It federates well with both lemmy and mastodon and does more. After that I’ll probably whip up a script to automatically follow new accounts and communities to get it all federated into my instance.

XHTML 1.1 is much more elegant than HTML 2

Can you post them? Name and shame.

Maybe have them coalesce based on channel name, but have local mods on each server. It’d be great if you could share moderation between trusted servers or trusted mods on different servers as well (this could be on a per-community or per-server basis).
