Not sa far as I know.
Not sa far as I know.
I’m not saying they are or aren’t. I’m simply saying that we all know the big media companies go after people at the drop of a hat. They recently tried to get reddit to expose the identities of people discussing piracy over there. To their credit reddit told them no and defended themselves legally. And that’s the issue. The media companies can accuse anyone of anything if it even slightly smells like piracy and the target has to legally defend themselves. This is fine if you’re a multibillion valued company. Not so fine if you’re just some guy who just wanted to run a Lemmy instance out of his own pocket.
I don’t know about you but engaging a lawyer and going to court to defend myself would be a massive financial drain. And to risk that on simply the hope that a court might find in my favour is far too big of a risk. Then add on all the unwanted public exposure, the internet notoriety etc. Fuck that.
That’s a bit naive, knowing what we know about the sharks that run the large media corporations. For your average instance owner, it’s not a question of being found not liable, it’s the fact that you as an ordinary guy with an ordinary life and an ordinary income suddenly have to defend yourself legally with all the exposure and expense that entails, from day one.
Nothing. It’s just 3 communities on dbzero that are blocked and as far as I know, they’re only blocked on .world. There’s no defederation so you as a user signed up to dbzero can still participate in any .world community and any .world user can still interact with communities on dbzero apart from the three named.
Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.
If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don’t blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won’t put them in the legal firing line.
Also, installation instructions that don’t assume you’re already an expert.
Yunohost installs a whole OS - Debian 11 - so you’d be essentially be flattening the drive.
OK. Well, that’s fair enough. I totally get why .world need to use CF right now. I’ll just wait it out.
That does seem to be the case. I didn’t even get notified of your reply, just spotted it organically.
Finally, Joe Pasquale does something funny.
That’s an absolute gut punch :(
I had no idea he was even ill. Fuck. On the off-chance a family member or friend stumbles across this thread, I’m very sorry for your loss.
Their apps are E2EE.
Shit. Missed that, sorry.
Maybe give Seafile a try?
Open source, you can selfhost, has clients for Linux/Win/Mac and Android/iOS and best of all - encryption that actually works.
I have Conky on my desktop and do a curl to a known page on my server to monitor if a web service is up every 60 seconds. If it’s down, I swap to a blinking animated gif as an icon and play an alert sound.
This is excellent news :) I’ve been using Alexandrite since u/sheodox announced it so I’m very pleased to see it added as a dedicated front end for .world :)
Yep, just go to ‘Settings’ under the Profile icon, top right.
.world hasn’t defederated from either of these two instances. They’ve blocked .world users from accessing those 3 communities from .world. You, as a .world user can still access any community across those 2 instances, aside from the 3 mentioned. Any users on those instances can still access .world communities.
