Post privacy on the fediverse is kind of a disaster, no one should ever rely on that ever. It will keep happening because it's an easy mistake to make and it puts all the privacy controls onto the receiving instance's hands, so as a user you can't do anything about it. Anyone can try their own spin on Fediverse servers and make that mistake easily. If Lemmy could subscribe to users it probably would also be affected by this.

Yes, the Android version also lets you exclude apps.

Is it directly exposed over the Internet? If you only port forward the VPN on your router, I wouldn't worry about it unless you're worried about someone else already on your LAN.

And even then, it's really more like an extra layer of security against accidentally running something exposed publicly that you didn't intend to, or maybe you want some services to only be accessible via a particular private interface. You don't need a firewall if you have nothing to filter in the first place.

A machine without a firewall that doesn't have any open port behave practically the same from a security standpoint: nothing's gonna happen. The only difference is the port showing as closed vs filtered in nmap, and the server refusing to send any response not even a rejection, but that's it.

Or find the key combo to get into recovery, and factory reset from there. All phones have it.

Some modern workloads can take advantage of multiple computers. You can usually compile using things like distcc and spread the load across them.

If you make them into a Kubernetes cluster you can run many copies or many different things.

It's still an unsolved problem: we still end up with single core bottlenecks to this day, before even involving other machines altogether.

Envoyer des gens désespérés dans les églises c'est ptête pas la meilleure idée. Y vont tous se faire brainwasher.

Back in the days we'd get free hosting and slap phpBB on it. Run for kids by kids, no pesky adult rules!

Those were the days. No credit cards needed, no nothing, just free 50MB of Apache/MySQL/PHP4 hosting with no strings attached.

If the fediverse was a thing I'd probably have had my own instance starting age 14-15ish.

I was totally above 13 or had parental consent when I went to forums in the early 2000s. I totally wasn't actually 9.

It's wild to me this concept disappeared? It's literally never been a good idea to reveal you're a minor online. The laws are against you. Companies don't want to deal with a curated minor experience, even less so in the current times. If they do, you get the crappier version of things.

The worst thing to happen to the Internet is when Facebook normalized using your real name and real info online.

A lot of those identify as christian because of cultural heritage and because it's the "not some brown people's religion" but are non-practicing or straight up non-believers otherwise. Those that do maybe go in the church once a year for the christmas stuff

The churches are packed with mostly tourists and the parking lot is filled with Ontario plates.

You're just not gonna find many nutjobs like the rest of Canada and the US here. Even my grandparents pretty much just go out of habit from the old times. I haven't once been in a religious argument in Québec my whole life. It's basically unavoidable in the US.

The quiet revolution is a fairly interesting piece of history.

A good chunk of them have already been converted into condos and shops. I even hooked up with a guy that lived in one of those.

Christianity died in the 70s in Québec, you won't find many people under like 40 that still gives a crap about religion in Québec.

It's still not ideal but you can at least set a charge limit and set it really low like 50% which is about where those batteries degrade the least.

But yeah using a lithium ion battery as a capacitor ain't great. BMS is just gonna charge it some, let it drain, charge it some, let it drain, repeat over and over again. There's a reason store phones tend to become spicy pillows so much after a while of being on display always on always running some animation.

This is already what happens when you leave it plugged in to charge overnight, except it uses very little power so the battery only gets topped off a handful of times.

The heat caused by the busy CPU would also be a rather big problem for the battery.

It's not impossible, been running my own email server for about 10 years and I inbox pretty much everywhere. I even emailed my work address and straight to inbox. I do have the full SPF, DKIM and DMARC stuff set up, for which I get notices from several email provides of failed spoof attempts.

Takes a while and effort to gain that reputation, but it's doable. And OVH's IPs don't exactly have a great reputation either. Once you're delisted from most spam databases / old spam reputation is expired, it's not that bad.

Although I do agree it's possibly one of the hardest services to self host. The software to run email servers is ancient and weird, and takes a lot to set up right. If you get it wrong you relay spam and start over, it's rough.
