I use FBReader everyday. When you say that it’s netblocked, what do you mean? I’ve been able to use it in airplane mode with no issues. I’m using v3.7.6.

In Massachusetts I think it generally is listed on the receipt.

Everything I’ve seen has indicated US inflation rates dropping steadily since 2022. What inflation are you seeing?

I’ve had this issue before. My limited understanding is that your home server fetches copies of communities somebody on your server is subbed to. But if you’re the first person, it can take it a few hours to federate (took mine a day.)

I understand those concerns, but I’m not sure if this really improved the security of mastodon, an inherently very insecure software, and it definitely deprived us of a useful tool. Defederation works at stopping spam, but I don’t think it really helps much when it comes to preventing people from seeing things you post. It stops a single server, but bad actors can just migrate to a new one, or spin up a new hostname.

I hated the backlash the bridgy dev received. His project was genuinely useful, helped to solve one of people’s most common criticisms of the fediverse. And after he was browbeat into giving it up, everything still got hoovered up by bots and fed into AI models anyway.

I think Debian unstable works great on laptops, and it’s hard to beat for stability.

This might be a stupid question, but I’m only so-so at wireguard. Do you experience that kind of loss using WG at home, on wifi, between your phone and server?

I hate this comparison. I’ve seen it so many times in the last four years or so, but I feel like it always adds more confusion. I don’t think most people know how email servers work. I run a server and have messed with Postfix, and I don’t have a good grasp on it myself. I’m not sure how to improve it but there has to be something better than that.

What is a king to a god?

“One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

I feel like this option is honestly worse for most people. You have the new security problem of having to transfer the file everywhere, but now the huge inconvenience of potentially losing it or not having it on a new device.

I do not believe either mastodon or lemmy federate your email address at all. Only the server you join has that information. You might have to worry if you have signed up to an uncrupulous instance. That instance admin could sell your email, I guess. They would have access to any email you gave them, so changing it would probably not help. I think the problem is a little overstated, honestly.

I wish there was a “log in from other instance” button, but I don’t know how you’d implement that.
