how so?

I'd like to get educated as well, please. So far, ForgeJo doesn't seem to have any specific advantage over Gitea. (And the name couldn't be worse...)

Wait, until they find out about Supermarionation...

Yep, I wouldn't use Diqus nowadays either.

If you spin up a Lemmy instance and subscribe to a community, all new posts and comments inside that community will be mirrored to your instance. As I'm subscribed to around 100 different communities, that was a LOT of traffic without me doing anything. That's why I've given up on self-hosting Lemmy just for myself and went back to using lemmy.ml.

However, I do self-host a GoToSocial server just for myself. It's probably not necessary as mastodon.social isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but if you're on a smaller instance, it might be worth it. Also, you get to show off your own domain name. And, while other instances may block yours, your content stays online as long as YOU want it to. There's no way for an external moderator to delete posts on your own server.

People can find you via Boosts from others or by searching for your @username@domain.com.

Maintaining my GoToSocial so far consisted of simply getting WatchTower to update the Docker container. Migration of data to a new version happens automatically. (Well, there was one accident where some pre-release version got released under the latest tag and I had to use the development branch for a few days .... but that was an accident from the GtS-team and shouldn't happen again.)

Part of that is done in my favourite iOS/macOS RSS client News Explorer. It downloads and shows comments left for an article, if that article was posted on a supported platform (Wordpress, YouTube, etc.). But this is read-only so far.

Ninja edit: Also, IIRC, there were some generic comment browser plugins for websites. Basically, similar to Disqus, but for whatever website you're currently browsing. But I guess these fell victim to several laws around mandatory moderation of user comments and stuff like that...

I've recently watched this video on YT about some guy that replaced all his social interactions with AI models for for a while. And he, too, said that his ChatGPT "best friend" was too friendly and later in the test preferred some Character.AI "dominatrix" model instead.

In Paris, France, government officials went around the inner city area and forcefully removed all unofficial key safes from buildings. That’s how all cities should handle this.

However, some years ago there was a news story going around about one person that owns various different places in Berlin, all listed under different names on AirBnB and that person barely visits those places as he has cleaning people do everything in between bookings. They only pocket the huge amounts of money while doing nothing. And the description to find the door key was like “find the public bicycle rack and look for the broken bike with a pink frame, the key will be under the saddle” and there were specific instructions to not talk to anyone in that building. So they definitely knew that this was kind of a grey area…

Yep, the one time I’ve tried to use AirBnB I had booked a nice place way in advance only to get it cancelled a few weeks later b/c the owner apparently needed it for something else. Or realised there was an event during that time where he could get more money.

Contrary to that, when the hotel we had booked for some time during Covid realised they weren’t open for the public yet, they moved our booking to a nearby higher tier partner hotel and they then even upgraded us. You won’t get this with AirBnB, I guess.

But how is it deemed illegal when Nintendo "loses" pre-release games in the wild and somebody "finds" it and shows it off on YouTube? Game reviewers are bound by NDAs and have contracts with Ninty - but these "criminals" don't. So what's the crime here? Publishing something Ninty didn't want to get out yet? And how is this copyright infringement when he never stated that he's made a Mario game? Or is trying to sell Mario-themed stuff? It's an official game from Ninty, so what does this have to do with copyright? Where did he copy it?

Same with the "circumvention" ... if you can easily make a copy of the key from your own device - which you've legally bought and where you only need a paper clip to do it - what are you circumventing then? If you buy a lock, it usually comes with the keys on a keyring that's "locked" to the loop. Is removing a key from that keyring also "circumventing" then?

The big problem here is that most people doing law have no idea about the technical stuff. And until that changes we'll see lots of these ridiculous claims going through.

Once my DS415+ (with the C2000 fix) finally dies, I’ll most probably go with a Terramaster F4-423. They have an internal USB-port with their OS which you can replace and install a custom OS to it. And it’s basically just an Intel NUC with a storage controller in a nice package. So, pretty much compatible with the usual OSes and NAS softwares.

Wasn’t there something a few months ago about Microsoft handing out secret API calls to developers of other antivirus products so they can quietly disable Defender during the installation of their product? Some guy had this reverse engineered from an installer…

The usual ones are RoundCube and SnappyMail (which is a fork of deprecated RainLoop). I’m hosting SnappyMail to access my Dovecot when no other mail client is handy.

Sogo seems to be a whole groupware, i.e. including a mail server, calendar, etc…

I understand that OP is looking for a mail client only.

Not just a risk, it already happened that the OrganicMaps GitHub repo got locked b/c one contributor appeared to have travelled through a sanctioned region.

Was that an answer from ChatGPT?

Yes, I’ve set WATCHTOWER_RUN_ONCE and run it manually (letting it download and automatically apply the updates) when I find time. In the rare case something breaks, I can fix it immediately or roll back the broken container by setting the label to the previous version.

How does it compare to Adminer?

I’ve just set WatchTower to one-shot runs and whenever I have some time to fix eventual issues, I start the WatchTower container, it’ll pull any updates and stop again. No need to mess with my compose files (all set to latest) and no need for pull requests or similar.

Got my Steam Deck a month ago, got Citron working yesterday and might put my (unpatched) Switch into storage soon…
