If you go through that user’s other reviews, while they are very funny, they’re also very AI generated. Tons of contrivances and the classic “and honestly?”
They were almost all posted on April 13th, and they all drop the “brand name” of the product in just really unnatural ways. This is 1,000% a bot.
Do go visit the profile though. The sex toy reviews are pretty funny.
If you want some quick examples of how this is obviously AI:
Ah I see. I’ve gotten into some back and forth with the maintainer of Caddy about these build inconsistencies and lack of versioning, and he responded by locking issues on me… twice.
After that communication, I resigned to just keep things as they are because upstream is not willing to make the experience better for use cases like these.
He is impossible to work with, but Caddy is just really good :/
What issue did you have? If I can handle it for the user automatically, I can add a best effort attempt to avoid it.
Hi!
The project is still active! I just haven’t needed to develop any updates because it’s currently stable, and the upstream Docker compose template, which is a reference for my project, hasn’t changed in 9 months:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/docker-compose.yml
Whenever Lemmy releases a new Docker container, it will just pull the latest one automatically. This will continue to be compatible indefinitely until the compose deployment (linked above) has any breaking changes added to it that I need to incorporate.
Thank you for the shout out :)
Just being open source is not enough to solve this problem. You would need a record of your “home instance” stored somewhere that all Lemmy instances would always have access to it. Ignoring the security implications of that, you still can’t use browser storage or cookies for that storage. In browsers, those storage mechanisms are restricted to the websites that stored them in the first place. Browser extensions have their own storage, so they don’t have this limitation.
I can’t think of an architectural solution to this problem without a browser extension.
The closest alternative that could be upstreamed is what Mastodon does, which is prompt the user to enter their home instance every time they try to interact with something while not logged in. An upstream solution can never be fully automatic like a browser extension, but this may be “close enough.”
They explain it in the video. They already use algorithms to detect if things are buildings or not.
But if their algorithm can’t make a determination or is uncertain below a certain threshold, they send it to Maptcha to get a bulk human opinion.
If you don’t want to open this and solder a chip, then no, you can’t do what you want.
The closest you can get is to enable AutoRCM, which will cause the Switch to always boot into recovery mode and accept a payload. This skips the need to use a jig in the Joy-Con rail, but you still need to inject a payload. And because recovery mode is just a black screen, you don’t have any visual feedback to know if the Switch is actually in recovery mode, or if the battery is just dead.
Your best option is to just boot into whatever OS you use most, then make it a habit to keep it charged enough to not shut down.
I’m really curious to learn how you get calls in so many different languages. I could definitely see Spanish, English, and maybe Vietnamese all being spoken in a general geographic area, but you listed a lot of diverse languages. Pretty cool if that’s really all within one area!
They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn’t getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.
People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.
If you’re going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:
I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:
Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don’t have to trust Backblaze isn’t reading my data - I know for sure that they can’t.
Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don’t need access to the data unless something bad happens.
Ok… sure. But what physical devices would I use, and what software would they run?
Are there any “open” solutions to mesh networking that can compare to TP-Link Omada? I don’t think any open source hardware or software can come close, especially not for the newer Wi-Fi standards.
I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m seriously thinking about some Omadas. I imagine I can prevent them from phoning home, and the management software can run locally in a Docker container. Running it like that would be good enough for me even though they’re not “open.”
I’m planning a rework of my home Wi-Fi, and my current plan is an OPNsense box from Protectli, and a few EAP772’s:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-wifi-ceiling-mount/eap772/
If there’s something comparable/better that’s more of an open ecosystem, you definitely have my attention while I’m shopping around for different options.
Definitely recommend Motrix:
If the Google download link supports it, it should be fairly resistant to interruptions. If it doesn’t, this might not help much, but you should still use this instead of just a browser.
I haven’t tried to download a Google takeout, so you might need to get clever with how you add the download link to it.
If you just can’t get it to work, you can try getting the browser extension to automatically send all downloads to Motrix. There is some setup required, though:

Good luck!
Damn, I guess you’re right. It’s a shame I don’t have the money to move.
I’ll have to abandon my elderly family, put my pets up for adoption, and stow away on a local fishing boat for a few months. I guess it’s the only way.
…but seriously, this is my point. Yes, this is all bad, but what do you want me to do? Being able to just jump ship is a privilege I do not have. If the building is burning, then I’m not getting out in time.
You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.
I’m not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you’d need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don’t have that kind of free money.
And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your “target” countries? Do you have plans for how you’ll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?
If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of “What are you waiting for, run!!!” is way more entitled than people seem to think.
Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.
OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.
That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.
What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It’s not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it’s still pretty good.
Be careful, that’s an AI generated review. Definitely try to find other human reviews before you buy it.
