Hm, so voting would be a system similar to up- and downvoting, except only activated when somebody flags a post?

The better alternative would be if all sites just had RSS feeds… but yeah, since we can’t have nice things, this is the way to keep tabs on site updates!

Mbin, PieFed, Lemmy… They’re all part of the same federated network. If an admin or mod of some server does something you don’t approve of, you block their instance and jog on.

So it’s actually one job that is easily replaced by Clippy.

A better solution would be to get used to an algorithm-free feed. Having “sensational” BS blasted at you at all times is addictive, shortens your attention span, and is the reason Mastodon didn’t go for those algorithms.

It’s just the inevitable exploitation of any word that van be randomly put next to “economy”. It’s a bullshit con is why.

“Meme coin” 💀

That’s fair. Similar situations, different conclusions 🙂

I had similar plans, but I opted for a seedbox instead. It gives me some peace of mind not torrenting on my own IP.

By now it’s probably a really smelly paperweight, and Bitcoin Man would be bugging them endlessly even to regain ownership over that 🤷

I think we’re living the best ending where it’s never going to be recovered, and this dude is flailing ever more futilely at courts…

Bitcoin man Florida man Piltdown man

It’s an ongoing cycle…

Yeah. Someday, in the ruins of the world, you may come across the decrepit remains of a man, held adrift only by the sheer momentum of that one time he was near The Big Win.

“Come 'ere m’lad,” he’ll tell you, gesturing vaguely with one rotting arm at the debris of human settlements, “help me dig for my hard drive of lost fortune tokens.”

I defo have a lost bitcoin somewhere, too. Can I just pass start and cash in my Monopoly money somehow? Where do I sign up with my anecdotal evidence?

“Bitcoin man” is the new “Florida man”.

a custom distro

…or just a pre-exsting one. Heck, they should just make it a point to support open source development.

housing, food security, climate crisis

I would never want to rely on corporations’ willingness to support those things. Corpos should, however, be heavily taxed so that the actual state would have money for those things.

In an ideal world (hey, let me dream!) those funds wouldn’t instead be siphoned into defense budgets.

Don’t worry, most of us won’t. It’ll trickle down through abstraction layers from CLW level work to us end users eventually 🙂

Actually, they updated with a security fix on November 5 🙂

Fennec for me.

You said it yourself — you’re new to self hosting, and CasaOS fits what you want to host. As a starting point for getting rid of hosted services, go with that for a start.

Sure, you won’t immediately be getting your hands dirty mucking about with dockers and stuff, but you will have your working home server. For learning and experimentation, I second @Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com’s plan B — use another machine to test building the same setup on a base Linux system.

If you’re like me you probably have an old laptop lying around that wouldn’t be great as an always up, day to day server, but as a testing environment to mess around with docker containers it should be fine?
