  • I think it’s inevitable that lemmy attracts these kinda people. At least for me, I got out of Reddit not just because of the API decisions, but because I just don’t like the idea of having 0 control over my services. The API thing was just a wakeup call.

    I’d say that I’m “part of the problem” in terms of shilling for FOSS software, but I was the same back on Reddit. So it’s gonna be my type of people that come in here.

    Either that or tankies


  • You know I haven’t really thought of it that way. A huge problem with the way people are thinking is that we want to see the other side fail or be worse off. It doesn’t really have to be like that, we can just make what we have better.

    Although I gotta say, it is nice to have a service that your real life friends might use that you can discuss things with them. I find it kind of annoying sometimes that I have to explain everything that I use like the Fediverse or Matrix, or other services that I self host. But I guess that’s a price you gotta pay for freedom.



  • Well, it’s not without evidence I mean without providing evidence. Dr. Moose said that Cloudflare abuses their market power without showing anything. I think we should do better than that. If you think that someone is doing a bad thing you can either refer back to the article that you read it from or at least google something that supports your claim. I don’t like being a part of a community that just believes things because they sound real.

    Honestly, if anything, Cloudflare uses their power too little. Where they allow just about anyone to use their services unless they get a complaint from the government. You can read here about how they don’t shut down websites from their services unless they are breaking the law. I would assume that abusing market power is something like disallowing services because they criticize Cloudflare or some other arbitrary reason. I think that a good example of abusing your market share is Amazon where they forced merchants to keep their prices on other stores higher. But don’t take my word for it, you can read all about it here.




  • I got

    • A RAID NAS for general
    • A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
    • And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
    • A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin

    There are probably other things that I don’t remember right now.

    In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.

    I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.
