We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.

And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I’m somewhat of an admin myself.

The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.

“Curating” makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.

This is important. Many people (and news outlets for that matter) consider Lemmy a product, when it really is very much an on-going early stage development effort.

It’s amazing how well everything works already, but nothing should be considered stable at this point.

What kind of maniac would use a password that’s longer than 60 characters?

I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client’s webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.

Holy hell.

I really hate the fact that every good thing that happens will get fucked up by politics and religion in one way or another.

First of all and I mean this as someone new to the platform and genuinely not aware: What first party sources do you have to support your claims? I honestly don’t care about regurgitated comments and stuff like that.

With that out if the way there’s an obvious problem with that idea: Wether you like whatever political or religous views they truly have or not, they are the people actively developing this platform.

Especially in this time where every instance is creaking under the load of new users and bug reports and feature request are at an all-time high, I wouldn’t try to mess with their donations. Developing this platform is a monumental task for a small team of devs and it seems like donations are already pretty scarce from their latest post.

Sure, over time contributions and PRs will increase, as more people get comfortable with the codebase. Still without the core team development may be seriously crippled for a long time.

It means that you are a bot. For example like Reddit’s automod or all the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings quote bots or also unit converter bots.

And it seems like the first people are already trying to misuse the label.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that what really made me delete my account early (I initially wanted to wait until the 30th to see how things play out) was the ridiculous number of people defending this bullshit and promoting the official Reddit app as the superior option.

Some going as far as saying 3rd party devs are leeches and scammers.

I can only tolerate so much stupidity and ignorance before I bail.

Holy fuck ist das krank.

Owning child porn in Germany is very much illegal and a fast track to jail time.

Pretty sure we are hosted on Hetzner in Germany, which makes this very problematic, especially if the admins of lemmynsfw aren’t able to properly identify illegal content right away and it spreads through the whole network.

You got it wrong unfortunately. We basically interact with a copy of the federated instance, that lives on lemmy.world. Each change or comment we make gets synced with the true instance and vice versa.

Which also means that if a single user causes for example a child porn community (I don’t care if it’s drawn or not, I don’t discriminate between pedos) to be federated, we would now be hosting child porn on Hetzner servers located in Germany and Ruud would be in pretty serious trouble.

The way I see it I think defederation is warranted in this case since it is potentially incriminating niche content. People don’t expect to find porn on YouTube, there’s Pornhub and the likes for that, so why would I want to see porn sprinkled into my regular Lemmy front page? Just create a porn account on lemmynsfw.com.

Also having spent 16 years on Reddit I simply know that there is content that I absolutely don’t want to see, for example, scat and all things rape fetish. I get that there are people into that, but I would feel more comfortable knowing that these instances are opt-in rather than opt-out by default. Especially, because blocking entire instances is tedious for users.

Oh, lastly: I have no idea what the age requirement is on here, but from a legal point: There may be children around here too, and serving (especially unsolicited) porn to children is a huge no-no in pretty much any jurisdiction.

I find Jerboa to be similar enough for the moment, but it still has a long way to go to match Boost in it’s comfort and feature richness.

Not yet, but Ruben will not be able to handle the costs, so it dies with the other ones on the 30th or so.

That’s my biggest concern about the whole federation concept. I took a bit of time before joining this instance and ultimately did, because it seems to have none of the common restrictions (no downvotes or NSFW content for example) and also an admin that already has experience hosting a Mastodon instance.

However, we still all live in this instance. Should the admin ever decide to pull the plug, the accounts are gone.

Yes, the same is obviously true about Reddit, but the 3rd party appocalypse clearly showed one thing: Money can become an issue really quick. Our admin may have the best intentions, but as soon as the community grows to a point where stemming the cost of the server infrastructure isn’t possible anymore, we are in trouble.

And mind you we are running on proper hardware it seems. I’m sure other instances run on leftover hardware in someone’s basement without a proper data center connection.
