A nonprofit organization that researches links between social media, hate and extremism has been threatened with a lawsuit by X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
So, this sucks. On Mint, Firefox was running super sluggish to the point of being unusable. I reinstalled Ubuntucinnamon because I enjoyed using it when I had it installed, but between me last having it installed and now there seems to have been an update that has broken cinnamon's system tray. Which, for me, is a major...
Yes, you can try to change time-space before and after the space aircraft. Basically manipulating space around you. So instead you moving through space.. You move the space around you. Allowing you to accelerate at to speeds within seconds without causing harm to yourself.
That is true.. However if the OP is mainly disappointed in the communist and the developers of Lemmy. Then he/she is welcome to try the kbin and it's community. Assuming he/she can also be nice and friendly.
Since I’ve been on Lemmy, I don’t know what my use is for Mastodon anymore. It’s dead on there anyway. I don’t have anyone to talk to and nobody responds to my posts.
Well.. I said 'kinda failed'. Synapse is still way too slow. And the new dendrite server is still not up to spec. Joining large rooms is still gives me a headache. I can't easily protect DDoS or spam accounts. I was forced to basically close registrations my Matrix server. And Dendrite is not yet production ready which is a shame.. Don't get me wrong, I do like Matrix in general. I just hope my previous remarks are taken seriously by their devs.
yea.. you are right. It "sort of failed" at some point, because I'm waiting for Matrix to solve these issues for more then 6 years now.. basically since the start..
It’s not really a big deal, but I am currently writing this using a linux kernel I compiled from source, which certainly feels like an accomplishment. The Arch Wiki has made the process fairly easy to follow. I just took the stock Arch Linux configuration without changes for now....
But I also didn't had the time to create new kernels. My PC is too slow at the moment. hahaha. Just wait.. maybe I will get the latest threadripper. Instead of the first -gen i7 from 2008.

I doubt that E2E services will care. Matrix will not change. Just like many other services. They are just insane. You can't also just break TLS in UK only. haha they are crazy.
@hoodlem Wow, really that fast? That is not a date, but let's say: 1 July ;P?
Personally, I think due to technical reasons, it might take 2 months from now. Or it will never happen, due to trademark BS. 2 months; date: 27 Sept. 2023.

I don't have GPT-4. But thanks for sharing your experience. It's not that good after all.. Well, we are not yet replaced by robots, that is for sure ^^
We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...
FBI could also just setup his own Mastodon instance and start subscribing.. ;) In fact, you can also setup a malicious fediverse node (I will not go into details here).
TLDR; A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Which was this instance during maintenance apparently.

I don't like that the whole world need Cloudflare to be honest. My vision of a free and open WWW should not include a big centralized corporation like Cloudflare. Instead of fixing the Internet and DDoS attacks, we just move all to Cloudflare?
Whether it's zero trust or WAN, CDN or firewall solutions. I want everyone to be able to participate in the internet, to run their own infrastructure ideally without Cloudflare or cloud services in general. In fact, that is why I also try to create https://libreweb.org. The world needs a better internet, whatever that may look like.
yea it's a shame.. I don't blame you. The current Internet has just became too complex. Too vulnerable. Too many attack vectors. You need to know about web-servers, various package managers, load balancing, firewalls, DNS, automated IP banning tools/DDoS protection, horizontal scaling, vertical scaling, Kubernet, Docker, security; updates, automated updates, various HTTP headers, TLS/SSL, various encryption configurations and versions, ciphers, you name it..
I actually doubt if Zero Trust is tackling all of the security aspects.
Yes you heard that right, we are planning for the first /kbin release. Currently most server admins are running directly from the develop branch since /kbin is still in very (early) active development....
🚨Update your kbin instance again 🚨
