It’s just that I rarely see a real person be so confidently wrong.
Global namespace extremist. Defragment your communities!

We’ve already established that language models just make shit up. There is no need to demonstrate. Bad bot!
I host 2 ejabberd servers. One casual, federated, the other one standalone, for work.
For Mastodon, I’m using an Akkoma instance hosted by a frind of mine
Every once in a while I try Matrix, but each time I try to log in, Synapse is is fucked in a different way. I have to scrap it up and start from the ground up some day.
I’m a big fan of Nostr, because of one particular feature - You control your identity without having to selfhost a server. The network seems to be occupied by the christian-carnivore-bitcoin-conservatives so far, therefor it’s pretty bland when it comes to content.
For some special use cases I have Signal, but most of the time, Telegram is the best the average person can do to meet me in the middle.
We hate the AI and proof of work, yet DEMAND someone to moderate our inboxes. For free.
Pidgin was decent, but remember Miranda? The community around it was fantastic. The plugin system was an absolute blast. Not only there were plugins for any communication network you could think of, the UX was fully customizable.
At one point, somebody even bothered to implement the ICQ flash animations. There has not been anything like it ever since.
If a communication software has terms of service, run away!
Gmail offers imap amd smtp access. You have to enable 2FA, and then it will allow you to create account for so called “less secure apps”.
In your place, I’d either continue using gmail directly, or finish the configuration of the self hosted mail server and just use that with any smtp/imap client. I suggest getting a separate domain for testing first, before moving your primary inbox there.
Yes. Screw the small businesses. All that competition is just fraud and burden to the real corporations :D /s
3d printer is subtracted from revenue for tax purposes
That makes sense. Since my profits always oscillated around zero, claiming any expenses had no practical effect.
legitimately running a business, or just trying to save money on their hobby
That’s actually how it started. We’ve installed linux on some old desktop machine with my classmate back in school, set up some services like webhosting, mail, jabber, and started to give access to people for free. No guarantees, no pressure. As we finished school, trying to turn it into a business was a logical next step. It never went big, but we just kept the thing around, bought newer hardware, moved it to a proper housing, did basic maintenance, and years later, here I am owing to the government thanks to my highschool hobby.
Well, I fell into a bracket that’s taxed (it’s not officially called a tax, but that’s what it is) by a certain fixed minimal amount. Thanks to my total revenue being relatively low, it makes an absurd amount percentage-wise.
IRS will audit you, and could deem you a hobby
Are there any negative consequences? I’d prefer to be downgraded to a hobbyist. Instead, the government has increased my taxes to around 70% of my yearly revenue. Social democracy, fuck yeah!
We can tell you probably have an emotion if you use one, we just can’t be sure what emotion. The emoji you type is almost certainly not the one we see.
When some internet stranger manage to enrage me more than usual, I sign up for a porn site with their email address.
Who did you piss off lately? :)
What is it with the silent T?
snob librarian’s thing
And I couldn’t figure out why a certain pirate streaming platform does this. I choose scifi category, and it’s filled with fantasy and anime… Your comment might be a clue as to who’s behind the platform. A ring of radical outlaw librarians!
The only thing worse than public voting is public voting that’s falsely advertised as private.
you still need good security configuration of the exposed service.
In a sense that security comes in layers, yes. But in practice, this setup will prevent 100% of bots scanning the internet for exposed services, and absolute majority of possible targeted attacks as well. It’s like using any other 3rd party VPN, except there’s not a central point for the traffic to flow through.
From the attackers point of view, nothing is listening there.
I’ve used a similar setup in the past to access a device behind a NAT (possibly multiple NATs) and a dynamic IPv4. Looking back, that ISP was a pure nightmare.
This is not a guide to hide from the government or ISP. Just a way to tunnel to your home server without publishing the sshd for random strangers. Personally, I’d just publish the ssh and be done with it.
I would rather live without the correlation attacks
The more people using Tor, the less useful targeted disconnects become.
Which is still just as open, but also a massive calling card for anyone trolling around the TOR network
Luckily, it is no longer possible to easily sniff the new v3 addresses by deploying a malicious relay. Any attack to even reveal the existence of a hidden service would require a very specialized setup. And we’re just talking discovery, not the ability to connect and attack the actual service running there.
When it comes to zigbee devices, don’t combine the aqara wall switches with large (4 buttons) ikea remotes.
The wall switches tend to execute the commands from the remotes instead of just routing them to the coordinator.
I have similar experience with the ikea bulbs. More of them I connect, more stable the whole network gets.
