Oh! I’m blind…

Dec 4 was the day Luigi allegedly pulled the trigger.

I don’t know what that has to do with today and Mar 10th though…

The problem is that the federal government is taking a literal chainsaw to critical life saving programs like disability, social insurance, and USAID, while ignoring expenses like maintaining golf courses that are purely a luxury.

You’ve got federal funds available to invest in fertilizing the grass so people can be entertained; but can’t possibly continue to keep people alive and off the streets??

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have lost their jobs, with many panicking not knowing where their next meal will come from. Millions of people worldwide have been cut off from food, water, and medical supplies that the US had promised to provide (whether actually supplying the goods or providing transport/protection). These people WILL die because of this; but the putting greens are looking nicer than ever!

? That’s a bizarre response.

No one here is trying to fleece you. People are suggesting ways to run your own instance as that’s the major difference between Reddit and Lemmy; you’re not obligated to use someone else’s hardware or be subject to their rules, you can setup your own systems and have a bit more freedom. Reddit doesn’t give you that option.

Your account is subject to the rules of the instance it was created on, as well as the rules of each community you’re interacting with. If you run afoul of the admins for your instance, you can be banned, losing access to that account completely.

If you were to run your own instance; no single admin could ban your entire account if you pissed them off. You can still be blocked from communities or entire instances if you don’t play nicely with others, but you won’t lose the account so you can still use it in other instances/communities.

For most people this isn’t really necessary; but lemmy also has a pretty large number of tech nerds that like to self-host our own services, so you’ll get quite a bit of ‘heres how you can do it yourself’ type responses.

Unlike reddit, you can just setup your own space on your own hardware completely under your own control, if you don’t like what’s available.

It was all positive until the guy below me came in throwing insults. Then people started piling downvotes on both…

You’re not required to run your own instance on your own hardware; you’ve just got to find an existing instance with an admin team you’re comfortable with, create your community there and recruit moderators just like you would on Reddit.

Potato, potato…

Whether we call them ‘undocumented commands’ or a ‘backdoor’, the affect is more or less the same; a series of high-level commands not listed within the specs, preventing systems engineers/designers from planning around vulnerabilities and their potential for malicious use.

Flooded farmland, provided 0 help to the wildfires, and now there’s less water reserve for the actual agricultural season…

Genius.

Just knowing who those two people are requires education and we can’t have that.

Plus the sexual references? Double whammy; Ban approved.

Maybe they weren’t permitted/encouraged, and eventually got removed, but you could definitely find them there. I wish I’d saved images; but this was 15years ago.

I wish I’d have saved some of those images; I can assure you they did exist. I don’t think it was a prominent part of the site, with their main focus on illegal substances/goods, but it was definitely there.

Worse; you could buy people from the silk road. Wives, children, nanny’s slaves… Along with military equipment, drugs ofc, stolen goods, and pretty much anything illegal that has a buyer.

Had a friend that liked buying drugs there, and would send me screenshots of some of the insane ads he found. He was pissed when it got shut down, and moved to a market called ‘Agora’.

Broke off that friendship quite a while ago and haven’t heard about it since. Not really my scene…

I’m not convinced there will be an election in 2028…

This part always confuses me, so I won’t be able to give specifics; just a general direction. Most guides explain how to route traffic from a vpn client to the lan of the vpn host. You need to route traffic from the vpn host/lan to a client of the vpn.

You need to change the routing table on the VPS, adding a static route to route traffic heading for your VPNs subnet to the VPN host instead of out the default gateway.

How exactly to do that I’ll have to leave to someone else unfortunately. Network config confuses the hell out of me.
