Self hosting and syncing data to a 3rd party would give you total control of your data and data resiliency.

Sounds like a good combo that’s lacking now.

A first step is RBL intergration, a shared blocklist of spam instances that subscribed instances would use to blackhole spam users/traffic/instances. These are used ubiquitously in email spam systems, so there is a precedent in federation systems for it working. We need to stand up an RBL, and then mod Lemmys federation system to work automatically based on the community blocklist.

It does mean that poorly admined instances will get blackholed, breaking their federation, but that’s the cost of a healthy network.

Simple to use NAS software. Has a unique raid model that allows adding as few or as many discs as you like of whatever size. You can start with 3 and add 1, 2 or more to the array, no issues. The parity model also lets you add as many parity discs as you like, as long as they are the same size as the largest disk.

Had early docker support as well, so it’s easy to spin up and integrate docker apps on the same server.

Lastly, they used to sell an excellent 8 bay standalone case. Think its been some years since they did.

There are knock offs in the $100 range on amazon. Bring your own raspi4 though.

Hmmm, lets see. The article points out homophobic, transphobic, islamphobic and racist remarks shes made. It states shes been officially sanctioned twice for bigoted remarks, losing 3 months of pay overall. They show her advocating for the exact same policies as the American far right, a blatantly racist group.

But nah, no way shes racist.

I dont personally use this feature, but I know it’s supported.

I would try a different ripped format. They should be .iso files, which is a direct copy of the disc. Kodi will load them like a virtual bluray drive.

This thread may also help you if you run into menu issues.

Kodi can play discs if you rip them directly, menus and all.

If you already have plex setup, add the “plexkodiconnector” addon. It replaces kodis inbuilt, standalone media db with Plex, which gives some nice features like media sync between devices and intro skipping.

Jellyfin can do this with its kodi plugin as well.

Protecting

Youre on that tankies platform right now, bro.

You love tankies or something? Using tankie-ware like you are?

They have an "all in one" docker installer for the above because you are far from alone here.

There are no guarantees either way. Even if the delete was somehow enforceable in software, it can be defeated with a simple server backup/restore of any federated server.

I think federated servers should respect any user generated delete request, but as users we need to expect that they wont.

If they made a little EV pickup with a 2 seater cab, 6ft bed, basic backup camera and a 200 mile range for 20k, I’d buy one tomorrow.

So section 5 covers all the same areas of harassment as the previous code of conduct? These are all bannable still on lemmy.world?

I think it would be pretty easy to sort in your 1+2+3 case. Let users natively ban instances.

Say you hate instance 3. If you go into the 1+2+3 thread, you will only be able to see or interact with 1+2 comments, as all others wont even load for you.

The tricky part is if 3 users can see or interact with your comments. It might be the case that you literally just wont see anything downthread if one of them replies to you.

How to properly do sysadmin 101 for a homelab:

Backup and test restore your shit. Move backups somewhere they wont be destroyed if the primary is.

Secure your shit. Yes, its annoying. Yes, do it anyway. MFA, good unique passwords in a vault, ssh keys, cert bsded auth, firewalls, crowdsec running. If possible, expose nothing directly to the internet. Use a vpn like wireguard to connect to your home instead. It has clients for everything like your phone, laptops/etc.

Those 2 things will put you head and heels above professional sysadmins. If you really sort them out, start applying for jobs. Seriously.

This looks like a fork of it.

Just like reddit in 2010.

Memes, racism and jailbait built reddit, but we have smartly avoided most of the latter two so far.

I hope as we progress there will be lists allowed for the federation menu, so we could run an email style “rbl” blocklist or allowlist. You could parse allowed/blocked based on secuirty practices/reports/scans of instances.

Maybe even an opt-in secure agent running on the servers ala crowdsec that would update the list in realtime about who is actually maintaining their infa.

You can game verification pretty easily as a spammer. Spin up an instance, mark accounts as “verified” in the DB with a script and a junk email address. As lemmy stands now, they should show up as “verified” on other instances.

Hell, you could do it on instances you dont run with your own mailserver. Use that to autoclick any registered emails that come into it with some coding. With relay services like mozilla relay or paid “10minutemail” throwaway style accounts, you could randomize the email address too, so even shared lists of spammers between servers wouldnt catch it. Its more work, but doable.

Random admins means random skill and attention paid to security in the face of dedicated attackers. Defedeation is necessary to counteract this.

I don’t remember what it was called? Spaces?

Circles. It was a killer feature at the time, the idea of different feeds for different groups, all in one profile. Too bad there weren’t enough groups to make it useful.
