Most of the hacky ways around it involve retaining ownership of the old domain and leaving it up indefinitely as a pointer to the new location. If your domain is taken from you though there is not much you can do.
Seriously dumb to have used this TLD considering there are a ton of choices these days.
I’m now wondering what happens if the Mali government (or someone else) begins using those domains with their own lemmy instance, potentially with malicious content.
Would the instances they’ve federated with begin ingesting and serving that content automatically? Or would that be blocked due to key mismatch?
Do you realize that boomers are the ones who literally made the Internet?
Not the ones that I work with.
A more perfect analogy would be the truck driver handing the other guy the balaclava and watching him put it on in front of him and then take it off again before he left. Not really much more private.
Spiderman is what got me to purchase a PS4. I’ve rebought almost everything on PC though so I think I learned my lesson this time (still waiting on Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima 😞).

ansible-nas
Wow, yeah this is exactly the sort of roles/playbooks that I’ve been building. I’m definitely using this as a source before starting my own from scratch. Thanks for sharing.
I’m actually doing both right now since I had quite a huge compose file that I haven’t converted to ansible yet. The biggest frustration I have is that there doesn’t seem to be an ansible module that works with compose v2 (the official plugin) which means I’m either stuck on the old version of compose or I have to use shell commands to run stuff like ‘docker compose up -d’.
One nice thing I’ve gained though is for services like Plex. I have an ‘update’ playbook that I use and it will check to see if Plex is actively streaming before updating the container which isn’t something I could do easily with compose.
Hahaha, I’ve been using ChatGPT in the exact same way. It requires a bit of double-checking but it really speeds things up a lot.
I’ve started replacing my docker compose files with pure ansible that is the equivilent of doing docker run. My ansible playbooks look almost exactly like my compose file but they can also create folders, set config files or cycle services when configs are updated.
It’s been a bit of a learning process but it’s replaced a lot what was previously documentation with code instead.
I believe this has more to do with pict-rs than Lemmy (the image handling back end that Lemmy uses). I’m struggling to find specifics on this from my phone right now though.
Gamefreak clearly isn’t interested in evolving their formula very much. Each game is designed to be approachable for young children who are potentially playing Pokemon for the first time. So yeah, there is a lot of hand holding.
I’ve found myself hoping the same thing though, that maybe the franchise would grow up with me, but it doesn’t look like it is going to happen. I expect that we’ll have to mash the A button through the Pokemon catching tutorial until the end of time.
The period of time where they completely ruined the turtle emoji after killing the blobs was the emoji dark ages. At least they finally fixed it.
Yeah it’s likely that I’ll move this eventually. This instance was only setup so I had a test environment to learn AWS.
Currently I’m just running a single user instance on a t2.micro. I’ve definitely locked it up at least twice after subscribing to a big batch of external communities so it’s definitely undersized if were to open it up to more users. I only have one other small service running on that instance though so Lemmy is definitely using the bulk of that capacity at least when it’s got work to do.
Costs are about $11.25 a month for the instance and about $2.50 for block storage (which is oversized now that pict-rs is on S3). I’m guessing that pict-rs s3 costs will be just a few pennies a day unless I start posting a lot on my own instance, probably less than a dollar a month.
Data transfer costs for me are zero though. I’m not using a load balancer or moving things between regions so I don’t expect that to change.
There is a good writeup on how to do the migration here. I went through it myself since I host my tiny Lemmy instance on an AWS EC2 instance. It went pretty smoothly bu obviously larger instances will have to take a longer downtime to perform the migration.
Obviously you should only input account credentials into an app you trust, but shouldn’t a properly designed Lemmy app not store the credentials in plain text at all? (And definitely never send them somewhere else) Authorize the user through the API and then it’s just an authenticated session, no need to store the username/password at all until you sign out.
I suppose if you have fast user switching it might need to store it. Hmmmm.
Pretty funny but if you enter you actual password it will hide it. My pass is ************, which should show up as asterisks for you.
Try it out. Pretty cool security feature honestly.
I’ve been wanting to do this as an experiment. I exported my Reddit history (15,474 comments over the last 12 years) and I wanted to test out making a LLM bot of myself on my own instance.
I’ll probably hate it, but it seems like a good learning experience.
I get that not everything can be free. I’m more than willing to pay for sites and services that have value to me. But companies constantly selling your data, blasting you with advertisements and then having the gall to ask you to pay for the pleasure? It’s blatant rent-seeking.
