Monkey With A Shell

The way the maga crowd hates Disney lately for being ‘woke’ pissing them off might encourage pushing a rule like this through.

You call it a fallacy, but to propose that covering your eyes and ears makes the problem go away is hardly a solution.

My issue is not the removal of bad content from the community, but the enforcement of it at a software level.

Much like any other software in the fedi system there can be seen as three levels of the community:

1: The global fedi where instances communicate across to each other, or in the case of problem instances, don’t and they’re cut off.

2: The local instance (or pod as they’re called in this case) with a few to many thousand users each where local rules are enforced by community admins.

3: The individual where you have the choice to follow certain people/groups or not and block those you see as problems.

Now those three layers make for a pretty potent filtration system in themselves making the baked in decisions by the software author fairly redundant at best, but that’s not the end point. Say someone for whatever reason had a reason to store an archive of propaganda for studies, and they mean to share that with colleges in some project. They may set up a private pod or a few in a small collective to accomplish the goal. Forcing that filter at the software level makes it impossible to do in that way.

So there’s already a nazi filter around the system in the form of this multi step sieve for banning these things, doing so at the software level though puts a censors button in the hands of a single person or small group of people who then exercise control over even niche cases where private collections are affected.

Indeed, the way to combat bad media is to dispute it with good media, not hide it away and pretend it doesn’t exist.

Somewhat harder to do in the context of music like the app in question, but still not wrong. I keep copies of some old wartime propaganda cartoons around just for the ability to put context when talking about past events, despite them being pretty tasteless by modern standards.

Right, but for them to do so requires a level of monitoring what you use and open piece of software for, which is unacceptable to me. If you had an old style mp3 player that refused to play certain songs it would be seen as broken at best. If that selection of songs got updated at the discretion of some third party you start walking into ministry of truth territory.

This is different from something like YouTube or whatever hosted service refusing to platform content, this would cross into directly controlling personal consumption by forced removal. We call it bad when people start banning books, but it’s ok so long as it’s our person selecting the bans?

The existence of Mien Kamph in a library’s collection doesn’t make the librarian a Nazi, and it doesn’t force the content onto the public.

Yeah, I don’t even know how you would do that but if a platform I’m hosting and managing tries to tell me what content is or isn’t permissable it’s going in the bin.

Don’t need some big brother crap on my system controlling what I do with my hardware.

Indeed they do use 11x but it’s still a possibility to cause issues. It’s entirely possible to manage a fleet of IPs across a net but it takes a solid plan organization plan. My company is big on the acquiring companies game where IP overlaps are a perpetual challenge when merging sites in and you need a mess of snat/dnat conversions to keep routing from getting in a knot.

While handy on a personal net, on a larger corporate net this isn’t practical and even adds a security risk. By having servers request leases you run the chance that someone gets into a segment, funds the ARP association for an IP/MAC combo and can take over a server’s spot simply by spoofing their own MAC to match at the time of lease renewal.

In the post above about setting a static address in two spots that in itself isn’t required either. So long as there are no duplicates you would just set the static address on the end device, then the network will sort it out with ARP ‘who has’ requests in local segments, or routing in the case of distinct subnets.

Edit: the duplicate I suppose could be referring to putting names into a DNS registry, in which case yes you would need that double entry, or just reference things by IP if the environment is small enough for it to be practical.

I’ve used plenty of them with no problems for years. Just so long as you have redundancy in place like a good RAID setup there’s little risk of losing anything.

Did you happen to unplug the external drive when it was moved? Could wonder if the device ID got changed and the server can’t find the old location for the library any longer.

Internet culture is a leaky thing. A major chunk of meme and comic formats where born in 4chan and they’ve been adopted virtually everywhere on the web despite coming from a place that takes a certain level of self hate to stomach for any length of time. Lemmy is functionally a clone of reddit right down to the logo similarity. Trying to claim that somehow it’s a different unique corner of the web and exercise in futility.

This needs a theydidthemath comm to post to. 🙂

Jammie Rasset got tagged for $1.9M for sharing 24 songs, so if we extend the per instance to this case I’m pretty sure Meta owes more money than has existed in human history…

It’s plenty possible. An address can be broken down like this.

Protocol (https://) subdomain (lemmy.) domain (socdojo) top-level-domain/TLD (com) path (/some/file/name/here)

https://lemmy.socdojo.com/some/file/name/here

You will typically register a domain name at whatever TLD you like (historically they where meant to be .com for commerce, .gov for government, etc but that’s only really enforced for certain types like gov or org) and then you create subdomain from that to point to whatever services you put on the domain.

So you can have whatever you want on the same domain. There are some considerations where you might not want them attached, domain categorization services get a bit imprecise a lot of times and you might get caught up in some security filtering as a result.

Email specifically is a whole new dragon to tame, with things like spam and IP reputation lists, dmarc, dkim, SPF records and a bunch of other things. So be aware that it’s probably one of the hardest services to do entirely on your own.

Generally yes, but it can be useful as a learning thing. A lot of my homelab use is for purposes of practicing with different techs in a setting where if it melts down it’s just your stuff. At work they tend to take offense of you break prod.

I’ve used MinIO as the object store on both Lemmy and Mastodon, and in retrospect I wonder why. Unless you have clustered servers and a lot of data to move it’s really just adding complexity for the sake of complexity. I find that the bigger gains come from things like creating bonded network channels and sorting out a good balance in the disk layout to keep your I/O in check.

Have at least 10,000 installs and 250 reviews

That seems problematic, in order to be considered for this ‘verified’ that’s supposed to make you more credible you have to have first marketed yourself extensively enough to get a not insignificant amount of installs and reviews first.

Quite welcome, I’m sure the great worker’s uprising will come one day and we shall all be forced to use the glorious app known as WeChat.

You’re trying too hard man, after about 2 rounds it became obvious that China way =good, 'Murica way=bad and that’s the bottom line.

Said I can, not that I do. Not that I should expect the .ml CCP shills to understand anything outside of the tankie sphere.

I can literally go on the calendar, add a location which will interface with the maps app, which can give me reviews, menus, directions, etc. Add people from my contacts, who use any type of email and cal they like (not limited to WhatsApp users) and have an email sent off with an ICS file to add to their calendar of choice. Provide a drive attachment in the same calendar invite if there was something to discuss with this meetup…

Feeding all my info to a Chinese app isn’t going to somehow improve that. My larger interest is in breaking up the aggregation of data by a single entity.
