If they ever drop the track pads I’m out. It’s the only reason I got the Steam Deck as I play a lot of WoW on it and they are basically required. Plus I tinker in Linux a ton too and also they are super necessary.

I mean…… does Mother Earth give a shit if you’re a 1%-er?

My instance says 1 year and it doesn’t show in hot for me but shows in active. kbin.social.

I second this. I prefer their deluge container but really like how binhex has things set up.

Deluge in a docker container. I run a media server and use the *arr apps to control things and deluge for the torrent app. I have it all behind a VPN. If the VPN goes down the entire network fails and is unable to connect any other way…. I do not trust a Killswitch and never would.

Edward……… Ed……… Brother….

I use sonarr, radarr, overseer, prowlarr, and a bunch of other shit.

I exclusively use torrents. Everything is automated and in dockers. No reason to use Usenet IMO. It gets me nothing torrents don’t already do.

At least tell us what you made up lol

This depends. You can be smart about it. Running your own servers, including your own NVRs for video storage. Have dedicated VLANs. Firewalls. Etc. it’s not that bad.

Granted I work in automation and robotics and now networking so I’d say I’m for sure a giant add nerd. For a normal user it can be hard to stay safe.

Or you may simply not really have a need. That’s totally fine.

I’m disabled, so being able to do lights and thermostats and appliances with my iPad or phone is great for me. Having things turn on or off based on motion detection or sunset/rise really helps. I can unlock my door or open my garage for guests without having to get up.

I have a smart home. I run Unraid OS on my server and among a ton of dockers, I run my own VM with home assistant. Been doing my own DNS, network wide ad blocking, media server, home automation stuff for years now. Always will to help answer any questions.

I’m also disabled so the smart home really helps me.

May be the most accurate description of TPB I’ve ever read.

1337x.to is my go to.

I think Hover is the best. Not the cheapest though. If you want cheap and good, go Cloudflare.

This will be the one thing that causes Lemmy to fall…… pure burnout. It’s 2 guys making nothing and thousands of winey folks expecting this to be Reddit overnight.

how do you follow a topic (rather than a person), reddit-style?

• I’m on kbin so it’s a little different, but you should be able to go to the communities page and search. You’ll see all communities from all federated communities. You just click on subscribe similar to Reddit.

what does all the talk on instances federating and defederating mean?

• Federated = connected and sharing a copy of posts. Defederated means one of the two instances has stopped that sharing ability with the other.

is it normal or expected that you join multiple instances to get your content? I’m juggling a few, because I can’t work out how to follow topics.

• Nope. Really no need to as long as you’re on an instance that’s federated. For example though, BeeHaw has defederated Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works so if you’re on beehaw you won’t see any of that content. If you’re on one of the other 2 you won’t get the full experience.

And if you do have different user accounts across instances, is there a way to link your own user profile between them? To give others a single view, or to make it easier to juggle all my instances?
I’ve heard it’s technically possible to follow content on Lemmy from Mastodon, for example. Is that a good way to consume content from single app?

• Mastodon is a bit different from Lemmy. It’s hard to read both from one app. Kbin is working on that issue by allowing microblogs. Still not perfect yet.

Honestly, this is why I have started watching less and less of Formula 1 and more and more of IndyCar.

I just like that in Indy things seem to be a bit more unpredictable race to race.

I was a mod of a 3m subscriber sub…. I do NOT get why mods would give a shit about being removed. Shits really no fun.

They don’t like the open registration process and they feel there was too many bad actors on that server, so they defederated from them.

How do you feel that Lemmy.world was defederated from beehaw?
