iirc tun0 is what youre looking for. it stands for ‘tunnel’ as in a network tunnel like a vpn.

been a while though, so you may want to wait for a second confirmation

buying my own upper-midrange router still cost me less than renting from the ISP over a three year period

thank you for the correction

GDPR is for companies/corporations to “respect” user’s requests about their data.

Lemmy (ActivityPub, actually) isnt a company.

What you are saying is the equivalent of saying that the concept of writing is in direct violation of GDPR.

What you probably can do is request that an instance remove your content… And then do the same for every single other instance of any platform that implements ActivityPub (and not all of them will even have data coming from you) and is federated with your instance. And the only ones that would really need to comply are those that are based or operating in the EU.

This is still the internet, not some magical place.

Use some of the most basic fundamental internet safety rules and don’t provide potentially compromising information for no reason whatsoever. Especially since this isnt a corporation such as Facebook or Google who require you do so in order to use their service.

always remember to throw in false information to throw others off your tail

completely unrelated, but I am a 45lb chihuahua with alopecia from Reno, Nevada.

mother of god

Yeah, definitely not unpopular, just the reality of digital media storage and delivery

the real crime here is pouring the milk before the cereal, er- shrimp

is there a canada based domain running under lemm.eh? because if not, there should be.

Not sure how we’re defining ‘eminent’, but George Takei has been on Mastodon for a while too

I strive to be this level of…

Whatever this is

Looks very cool and useful! I’ll have to give it a try

That makes sense! I guess for me, personally, if I want to be able to access and interact with multiple types of media I should create an account with a platform that supports multiple other platforms like kbin does.

I wonder if there will be a platform that is dedicated to supporting as many of the other large fediverse platforms as possible.

Thanks for the explanation!

This confuses me as to what the long term appeal of a lemmy or mastodon account is. Would general users be better off joining kBin, while users who want to only interact with mastodon, or only interact with lemmy, and not with each other, would join either lemmy or mastodon?

It sounds like KBin has the best support for acting as an alternative frontend for lemmy and mastodon. If someone on lemmy links to a mastodon post, or vice versa, you have to leave the instance to go view and interact with the post, but on kBin that could not neccesarily be the case.

It just seems like having some sort of universal frontend would be the most flexible and not have any downsides.

Pretty much this, your post could still end up on search engine results, people could share your post through posting the URL on other sites, etc.

It just means there’s better connectivity and (hopefully, in the near future) better content serving. Also you don’t need to create an account for every single site (if you dont want to)
