I have matterbridge set-up on a private chatroom with few people between IRC, Discord and Matrix, because some of the ones I chat with don’t really care much about these issues, and are not moving. On matterbridge the delay is significant in some cases and I encounter a few bugs as well. Plus, by having a Discord chatroom in the first place, most people are probably not going to join the other side. We shouldn’t even promote Discord usage.
Can’t we just have an IRC room on somewhere like Libera, please?
Or if we really need images and stuff, a Matrix room would be sufficient. Or an XMPP room…
I hate being forced to use this crap
For security, disabling the root account is important, so be sure to add --no-preserve-root on the end!
Which provider are you on?
I currently use disroot mail. Maybe I’ll just donate and connect my domain and still keep using that provider… Though, having your own domain for emails would be cool. Can use all different addresses for signup on each websites. I wouldn’t have to worry about spams at all that way… (Disroot provides aliases, username+alias@disroot.org for receiving but the + sign causes error on some poorly made sites)
Sweet, seems like lemmy is pretty lightweight on resources overall. Thanks for the reply :)
Haha, that wasn’t really the purpose, I intend to federate and communicate
I’m also quite unfamiliar with lemmy architecture haha. Well unless the instance I’m trying to federate with defederates/bans my instance, I guess I’ll be ok but I don’t know… I’m currently searching for information :)
I see. I think I’ll try finding a cheap second hand laptop and run it as a server. (Technically even includes a UPS lol)
The VPS also seems nice, I’ll look into it. Thanks!
I’m not sure what parent commenter uses exactly but cloudflared / argo tunnel can be used for free though they don’t have some enterprise oriented functions. The daemon running on the server, cloudflared is also open source, available on Gihub.
So the only ports required to open for proper lemmy operation are HTTP/HTTPS ones (80, 443)? Argo tunnel didn’t seem to support a whole lot of protocols (I couldn’t find a way to enable telnet for a BBS for instance) and I was wondering if theres additional port needed for ActivityPub.
I have multiple purposes - while I do trust the folks running instances and my current lemmy.world instance they may close service at any time and I wanted to ensure that I won’t have to move instances, and I’m also considering to run my own E-Mail in my personal domain later so I thought it would be nice to have lemmy and etc (my online presence) connected to my domain. Also yes, I was thinking I might help reduce server costs for others and stuff but that doesn’t seem to be the case…
I’m not English native and I often see Google ads in my language. Many of them are of very low quality and some ads connect to phishing links, weird apps or cover contents. I don’t think Google strictly restrict them…
Though I feel Firefox (and its fork Fennec FDroid) is a lot slower than other browsers based on Chromium like Bromite and Kiwi. I’m using a phone that’s pretty low-end in 2023 standard though. (MSM8974 with 2GB ram running Android 11)
This… While I don’t like how the source code isn’t updated to the public regularly there isn’t anything fishy in Kiwi, we get regular updates and there are some neat features like being able to change the tab switcher UI or use desktop extensions.
Opera was acquired by a chinese consortium back in 2016 or so. IMO opera telemetry isn’t too different from other proprietary browsers like chrome or edge but there were also some controversial decisions on Opera such as not removing a chinese CA cert (wosign?) that was being widely misused etc.
It’s a bit weird. I installed Sync yesterday but I don’t get any ads. I don’t have a system wide ad blocker or anything. Note that I don’t have GApps.
I believe that’s the same as uBO’s cosmetic filters. They’re loaded but not shown…
Pixels get verified boot and bootloader relocking for custom roms like grapheneos as well, so you can be sure your device isn’t compromised even with a privacy respecting custom rom. I guess this is what most people refer to… Oh, and Pixels are probably going to get security patches for the kernel as well as the vendor blobs unlike many other vendors…
