Or you may simply not really have a need. That’s totally fine.
I’m disabled, so being able to do lights and thermostats and appliances with my iPad or phone is great for me. Having things turn on or off based on motion detection or sunset/rise really helps. I can unlock my door or open my garage for guests without having to get up.
I have a smart home. I run Unraid OS on my server and among a ton of dockers, I run my own VM with home assistant. Been doing my own DNS, network wide ad blocking, media server, home automation stuff for years now. Always will to help answer any questions.
I’m also disabled so the smart home really helps me.
I do not like they have defederated from 2 of the larger instances. Not a fan of that at all. I do understand why they did it, just personally not a fan. I’m on kbin until they get that under control and re-federate the I’ll likely look into joining them.
I like the instance, like the sign up process, just don’t want to be defederated. Hopefully the modding tools get better soon.
May be the most accurate description of TPB I’ve ever read.
1337x.to is my go to.
Not a fan of the defederation. I’m actually displeased they would shout out an instance that will give new users a BAD experience of what the fediverse is.
I think Hover is the best. Not the cheapest though. If you want cheap and good, go Cloudflare.
I’m on kbin.social and I see your mastodon comment under the kbin microblog section of the main overall thread.
This will be the one thing that causes Lemmy to fall….. pure burnout. It’s 2 guys making nothing and thousands of winey folks expecting this to be Reddit overnight.
So you’re angry that you have to click your screen 2x and waste 9 seconds…. Instead you’d prefer every single new user to see no content at all?
Seems like an odd take.
It’s about 37k on kbin.social.
This depends. You can be smart about it. Running your own servers, including your own NVRs for video storage. Have dedicated VLANs. Firewalls. Etc. it’s not that bad.
Granted I work in automation and robotics and now networking so I’d say I’m for sure a giant add nerd. For a normal user it can be hard to stay safe.
