E2E encryption: Should big tech be able to read people's messages?
  • It's not even a question (outside of clickbait bs by news agencies)

  • New Lemmy instance not federating
  • lemmy.world is probably overloaded.

    On my instance, everything from them floods through all at once, filling my first couple of pages with hours or even days worth of stuff, then I'll get nothing from them for a while again.

  • If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware
  • I mean, maybe it's because I'm not overly paranoid or live in the US, but this doesn't seem like a big deal at all.

    As for the "drama" of them telling someone they can unfollow, it's true. It's again, not a big deal.

    This screams people trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

  • Search Engine Privacy
  • I ended up just hosting my own Searxng instance. Seems a lot easier to control and not be dependent on how someone else has theirs set up.

  • what is the best privacy distro?
  • What's wrong with Ubuntu?

  • Well well 🤨
  • My favorite part is when it finally becomes somewhat less overloaded, and my instance gets flooded with a bunch of posts from there filling the entirety of my front page, and the second page...

  • Is there a way to block facebook, instagram, etc on Seaxng?

    I tried searching for a local place, and all I got for the first two pages are instagram and facebook pages. It wasn't until the third page I got past all that crap to get to the actual website for the location. I even tried search "PlaceName City Website" and still got all that crap instead.

    Is there any way to block it on my personal searxng instance? Sorry if it's obvious.

    Mysterious loud "explosion" sound heard in North Canterbury
  • I'm guessing the latter.

    Or a farmer playing with using explosives to remove a trunk.

  • if I selfhost, does that take any load of Lemmy?
  • That's great news! Hopefully it releases soonish.

  • if I selfhost, does that take any load of Lemmy?
  • Not only annoyingly slow, but I tend to get a massive influx of posts from one community all at once. It fills my entire page with that single community. It's been my biggest annoyance so far.

  • all my filament hides in the cabinet!
  • That's awesome, now I just have to figure out how to convince my wife to let me do it.

  • Set default language to English
  • Unless someone goes in and changes their shown languages to English in their settings, threads with the default of English won't show. It even warns of that if you attempt to change languages in your profile.

    So leaving it undertermined actually means more people will see it.

  • Jamie Raskin Reveals Devastating Evidence That Destroys Biden Bribery Allegation
  • What does this have to do with the fediverse? I don't want American political bullshit cluttering my feed like happened on that other site with literally every sub.

  • What a win
  • Sorry I'm just frustrated as a lot of communities have become nothing but the latest reddit drama. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen with this one too.

  • What a win
  • This is great and all, but what does it have to do with /c/piracy ?

    There are many other communities about whatever the latest reddit drama is, please don't let this sub become like some others that are flooded with nothing but reddit drama

  • What is the best selfhostable messaging service for family?
  • I'm using a cloudflare tunnel for it. I also have crowdsec installed, only allow ssh keys and only from my IP (I have a static from my ISP), and no ports open other than the ones needed.

  • What is the best selfhostable messaging service for family?
  • I used the official docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/

    My compose file looks like this: https://pastebin.com/3JYzAPr2

    Pretty sure I just followed the instructions there.
