I wonder if he knows about the game Xcom

He really did buy it just to delete it.

Ditching am5 in 2026 would be disappointing. Especially with how expensive am5 boards are. I bet there won’t even be any technical reason for it like we had with a new ddr version.

Don’t update the firmware. In 2022 they released firmware that blocks non genuine toner.

lemmygrad.ml might actually be China. But each instance gives a list of the instances it federates with, so it should be easy for China to block them all. Lemmy has no features specifically for evading state censorship.

Yes, caching. When you ask for a remote community it doesn’t go fetch it right then. In fact, it doesn’t fetch at all. The remote community pushes when there is new data.

Your script is missing my instance @iusearchlinux.fyi. There are a couple dozen of us there. I can just edit the file of course.

That’s because passwd doesn’t store the password hashes. Just user names.

On your settings page you can select what languages you want to see and block everything else.

But most people leave post language unspecified, so you have to include unspecified in your list of accepted languages. That makes the language filtering somewhat useless.

When you select some languages on the settings page. The language selection on the post editor will be restricted to that short list of languages, which makes selecting the language easier.

I was told contaminated hot meant that you couldn’t have a single tap to mix the two safely. That makes washing your hands unpleasant as you can’t adjust the temperature.

A brit I knew was was appalled to find out in the US mixed the hot and cold in the same tap. He was disgusted and figured that made even the cold un drinkable. With US plumbing the hot is mostly safe, just the fact that hot water may leach more minerals from the pipes, or your old water heater might be gunked up. Whereas, in the uk they were actually doing something really bad with the hot, so it had to be stricktly kept separate.

Something special about the way they did the plumbing, I don’t remember

Just ignore it, you’re not missing any functionality. Just some kind of bug.

In the UK they had separate taps for hot and cold because the cold was safe to drink and the hot was not.

It really feels like Elon Musk said WOLOLO to spez and took control of his mind.

Are you then opposed to open registration on instances?

We sure, I can understand Defederation from “skinheads.social”. I’m more concerned with large instances like lemmy.world who just are rather wide-open. I wonder if large open instances are just bad.

Completely understandable. I am not opposed to moderation or keeping people safe from harassment.

Why do you think entire instances will be devoted to that? You will have to block every instance that has open registration, since any open instance cannot guarantee one of the people you mentioned will not come in. I guess the issue I have is that I see moderation as something between users and communities. Not that the overall instance should be doing the moderation.

Two separate issues are prompting “defederation”. Blocking users from posting to your local community and blocking remote communities from being mirrored on your server. Those should be handled differently. Beehaw didn’t want trolls posting mean things and blocked every user on a server. Your concern about illegal content would be more a complaint about specific communities that feature that content.

Either way you shouldn’t blame an entire server for a few users or communities you don’t want. Expecting everyone on a instance to be like minded isn’t going to work.
