I’ve been curious about going alone on the Fedi but I’ve always been concerned about data storage. How much drive space do you think is required? I presume it accumulates over time.

Cost per month or year?
Unfortunately people don’t see voting systems as a method to highlight the relavency of a contribution. They see it as a like/dislike system, and so I see as shut up signal used by most because downvoting a contribution buries it to the bottom where few people will see it.
If it was used for relevancy and quaility then communities would be self regulating by the users. I believe Reddit’s guidelines state(s/d) it’s voting system was meant to be for relevancy, even though most people use it as a like/dislike system.
Like most people in the western world (and indeed likely in most of the world) do.
I’m going to have to see a source for this claim.
I know the person has merit in their argument when they go on the personal attack. 👍
Eradicating personal vehicles is not feasible.
Not owning a personal vehicle is only okay if you live in the heart of a city and don’t go outside of that little bubble. All other scenarios massively benefit from a personal vehicle; even going from one side of a city to another.
I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.
I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.
I’ve seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.
I had one around 2012-2013 and it failed on me. I had issues with it throughout its life but I didn’t realise it was the drive until I upgraded to a Samsung.
A lot of platforms strip out the meta data. All social media platforms and all messengers I’ve tried strip out the meta data. There might be some that don’t?
Does the meta get stripped locally or on their servers though? I suspect locally.
Nice. I use Mullvad DNS for the same purpose.
They seem to have many different endpoints depending on what you want to block, which is customizable only down to the type of content. Ads, trackers, malware, adult content, gambling, social media.
If I understand it properly, they have 64 different endpoints for their DNS. But I’m not sure if all of these are publicly facing or if you have to be connected via their VPN service for all of them to be accessible.
Can you customise it down to the domain?
How much battery do you think this consumes? I’ve always thought an always on VPN set up but never tried it as I assumed it would drain the battery too quickly.
When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.
One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.
Not a single mention in the article about whether Bluetooth is turned on or off.
Samsung has an opt in option for the Smart thing network. I guess Google will go the same route.
It’s all speculation at the moment.
I thought I’d give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)
That’s because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they’re funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.
YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.
He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.
Hello Veritasium enjoyer
I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.
Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.
Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?
Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.
