Another, unrelated, example of the shift in thinking in the Dutch government is about an unanimously adopted motion in the House of Representatives. Last week saw a major storm, and the fire department send out an emergency text warning to people, urging them to check Twitter for the latest updates. However, this coincided with Twitter preventing people who do not have accounts from viewing tweets, resulting in people not being able to see emergency service updates

Big fan of letsencrypt’s certbot with the nginx and cloudflare (or other dns providers) plugins.
Is there any reason to use caddy or traefik over nginx?

Torrents can be encrypted as well, and there isn't a need for a VPN unless you use public trackers, which I don't recommend.
What is the monthly fee for Usenet? I'm more in favor of decentralized systems with the use of seedboxes to speed up distribution, but I'm not against usenet either.

I run my own instance and the one thing I will say is that I don't see as much content browsing all on my own instance versus all on lemmy.world. Not sure why that is.

The download speed on any popular release will max out even the fastest connections. I assume the retention for less popular content is a lot better on trackers, but I don't have enough experience with usenet to say that for sure.

What features?

I didn't know that. Thank you for clarifying.

The WiFi thing was rough, no doubt. He was clearly talking about cell phones, not that it matters.
What about Cornel West?

What about Cornel West?
In regards to RFK, remove the anti-vax piece from your comment and it would be true for pretty much every presidential candidate ever. Dismissing him without a substantive rebuttal isn't doing anything besides getting a pat on the back from those that already agree.

What about Cornel West?
RFK is a conservative
More than Biden? The same Biden that passed the crime bill. The one who quashed a labor strike by the rail workers as president? Seems progressive.

Oh man, now I'm even more jealous.
I really like ansible and have played around with using it to deploy a seedbox. I still want to get it working, but I've given up on doing it all purely through ansible. At this point, I'm thinking the best route is using ansible to deploy swizzin with an environment file and unattended install

I don't understand the big push to defederate from other instances when individual users can block instances as they please.

I find that most "democrats" bury their heads in the sand and ignore the obvious corruption of both parties. The US federal government is captured by corporations.
I would highly recommend considering candidates such as RFK Jr. or Cornel West over Biden and the rest of the corporate democrats.
Edit: Wow, this was not well received lol. Not that surprising. Kind of interesting that everyone focused on RFK and not Cornel West though. West is a true progressive with a long career focused on social justice. He would be great for this country. Link to West's campaign page.

Well I would recommend it since it works, hence the name, shitjustworks lol.
In all seriousness, you can't start a new platform and simultaneously expect to exclude large segments of potential users. Shitjustworks seems to toe the line better than other instances. They ban spam/bots while still allowing most content.
Generally, I recommend avoiding the top two instances if you are considering creating an account, and I would recommend avoiding beehaw for other reasons. So that leaves you at shitjustworks.

Please tell me what I can get on usenet that isn't on PTP, BTN, or RED.
I would bet that 99/100 releases are uploaded to private trackers before usenet.

Of the top five, sh.itjust.works seems to be the best. Definitely the instance that I would recommend to new users.
thedaly 1y ago • 100%
Yeah, I run my own instance and got an error when I tried to upload.

Lol that dank memes page is pretty funny.
To quash your worry, when you keep banning things, those people crave it more. Otherwise people will just get bored of the jokes if they're only making trans jokes, then it'll not be upvoted.
Let the system work, and use the block feature if you don't like it.
I don't get why more people don't have this mindset. If you don't like it, Block it on your account. Why do they feel the need to block it for others?
