Oh wow! Thats gnarly. On that note, have you looked at rustdesk? Tried it this week and it runs great. Its also open source.

The reasons are plenty, they are laid out here:

I‘m not a fan of reinventing the wheel so feel free to ask questions if you like.

Thank you very much! This tool is great indeed!

I solved it with help. My fail2ban filters were too strict.

Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.

Fedipact for the win! :)

If anything on lemmy has ever been „nottheonion“ material, it is this.

From practical example:

I defederated one instance. Before, I saw content of them, now I dont. I dont know if they can see my content but I dont think they do.

Obviously a sample size of one is not evidence but more of a hint at what might happen.

You can always ask the folks on .ml for they make the software.

In games its on par except a couple niche situations with rootkits and other anti user solutions afaik.

Because they’re the bad guys. Companies the size of nation states are an abomination that should never have existed in the first place.

I really feel like I‘m visiting two dimensions on lemmy. I really like firefox and I use it daily with no complaints whatsoever. But the amount of people saying „it has only gotten worse recently“ seems to be the same crowd for the last 3 years. Its always on its way down, it gets all his revenue from google bla bla bla. I know thats an issue, using chrome is not the answer.

I‘d really like to be able to sue them at the ICC for abusing the human right to not be surveiled at all times.

My wife recently asked me if I‘d ever move to the UK. Fuck no!

Of course, the voice of reason. :)

The interesting bit for me is that if you ask a rando some programming questions they will be 99% wrong on average I think.

Stack overflow still makes more sense though.

Okay cool! Did you explain why you only posted the link?

There would be quite a lot of possible places. Maybe hardware? I‘d check if and where you find similar works and post it there.

I think that would be cool since the peeps there are very appreciative and nice ime.

Damn! Thats so awesome! Have you posted it on the homeassistant forum as well?

I’m pro-fediverse, that’s why I think it’s just as bad.

We probably mean the same but look at it through different lenses. I also want the fediverse to succeed. Therefore I host 4 fediverse instances.

But you have to understand that keeping anyone (especially tech companies with tons of knowledge) from reading this stuff is 1. impossible and 2. against the freedom idea of the fediverse.

There is one instance in particular, that has the vast majority of Lemmy

That would be world

not being able to let people know that I’ve noticed them being curated

And why is that a problem? You cant keep people in **** from being shot either and we‘re not making a fuss about it from what I can tell. I suggest we focus on the things we can while we can. Otherwise we wont get the stuff done that we actually have the power and influence for.

I think corporations taking over one of the big instances would be subtle and will have terrible consequences for the fediverse.

Again, something you cant influence. I defederated meta and will defederate anyone else who pushes ads or other shit content. If other admins do the same we will automatically separate from shit content.

Be the change you want to see and either make your own instance or donate to the one you’re on. Also, tell others the same thing and we will get to a better place guaranteed. The system of the fediverse is already great because its democratic. Our only enemy is i fighting.

Because thats how the world works. People lie and studies shown that big corporations act like psychopaths. You will never get rid of this thing. Also, everyone in the whole world can just read your content off every fediverse server your server federates to, manually or through scraping. It literally is a nonissue if they made an undercover instance because they can read it everywhere.

But that is also the idea. If your message can be gotten everywhere, nobody can artificially ransom them for money (looking at you, reddit, stack overflow, facebook, twitter, etc).

This fact is rarely discussed but a major factor why the fediverse helps with democratization of the internet. Free information.
