This was the second time I noticed this, but was super apparent today due to how slow the instance is loading, but the top right is showing another persons username (forgot to take a screenshot sorry). It happened the other day, the instance wasn't really slow, but I saw it for a split second it was showing another name and then loaded in mine correctly. Today the same thing, but with all the slowness, it was there for a good few seconds this time so I know I wasn't seeing things.
I'm sure its some sort of caching issue and probably not really an actual security concern, but just wondering if anyone else had noticed this or if the admins were aware.
I haven't pirated software in probably 10 years? I think I used to pirate Internet Download Manager back in the slow internet days. Now, I all the applications I use are free. Now when it comes to games, I always buy on Steam. Had my steam account since the Orange Box launch, it's just to convenient. Steam sales are always priced pretty good which has given me a library of nearly a 1000 games. Don't ask me how many I played.. Gabe was 100% correct in my eyes that piracy is a service problem.
Yes, always have and always will. The internet is just plain hostile without one. Watching others browse the web without one is fascinating to watch. I don't really care much for the "moral" side of things.
Just for fun, I checked my self hosted AdGuard DNS and 60% of queries were blocked! That's insane. That's just DNS level blocking.
I'm more concerned about whitelists where I need to apply for federation with the big players or some sort of automated bot solution that may inadvertently blacklist small, legitimate servers.
That is also another concern of mine for self hosting. I know the fediverse is facing a massive bot problem right now and some suggestions of doing whitelists or blacklists to help combat this, so having my own private instance could even be a worse move in the near future.
Yea was considering it. Already have a server where I self host a lot of things for my own use. Just concerned about security, as my server isn't reachable via the internet (so security has been a bit "loose" so far since it doesn't really matter) and I would have to open a port for this.
Also opens a few privacy issues. Either I use my existing domain which would expose my dns records and SSL cert history to anyone who wants to know or just buy a new domain just for Lemmy. Even still through, my IP would be permanently attached to the server which would be public for anyone wanting to follow up my instance. I could try and host it behind a VPN that allows port forwarding, but just adding more complexity and cost the setup..
Could also just buy a cheap VPS and just use that for just the Lemmy instance so I wouldn't need a VPN. Just feels like it would go a little bit against the self hosting spirit since I actually have my own hardware to do so..
I am still playing around with Lemmy like I am sure a lot of people are. I have accounts on multiple instances to see how things are and what not.
I understand why beehaw decided to defederate with .world, I just didn't think much about the consequence of it after it happened. Today I was browsing the !anime@lemmy.ml from my beehaw account and looked at the same from my this .ml account and realized I am missing so posts.. Any user from .world posting a discussion thread for an anime I watch from, I can't participate in..
I could create my own discussion post about the anime, but now there are two posts going about the same thing. beehaw users would be able to see and participate in this now, but every other instance will see two posts. Duplicating the same thing and splitting the discussion unnecessarily.
I love the power, control, and principles behind Lemmy and the wider fediverse, its just something that is annoying me at the moment. Its amazing for taking care of spam instances (70k users with no posts? yea right), but when one large/popular instance spanks another, it can be problematic. Thinking of maybe self hosting (which I am no stranger to) as a way to avoid an issue like this in future.
Still like Lemmy and wanting to push through these "quirks", but just wanted to vent a little.
What do you mean by this? Its currently based on 22.04 LTS? Can't find anything about them going to non-LTS

I am a fan of using Restic. More specifically using Autorestic, which is a wrapper that allows you to easily configure restic using yaml files. Since all of my services are in docker containers, I just have a hook to shutdown all my containers, do the backup, and then run all my containers again. Downtime is not an issue since it just runs when I would be sleeping. Just have it backup to Backblaze B2, which I think you get 10GB free, which is plenty for me right now.
That makes sense. Just a bit confusing, because it can make communities look inactive and put people off of subscribing when going through the explore tab for example.
For example, when viewing !kde here on .ml (which is the home instance, if that's the right term), it shows !these stats
and when viewing through another instance such as beehaw it shows !
