this is why you should always use localhost 😉

Awesome onion service! Does anyone else know of other lemmy instances hosted over tor? Only found this conversation discussing lemmy instances over .onion, and only this hackliberty instance was mentioned …

lmao this is the funniest name I heard for the rainbow Pentagram surrounded by a rainbow Pentagon.

“You can not buy intelligence”

But the product of appearing intelligent is sold: private Education. Also you need to be able to afford the right condition: Not starving to death to appear intelligent, afford food & afford some water without lead contamination (since lead in the water lowers IQ), lead pipes where used for drinking water in poorer areas … Also research and innovation costs lot of upfront capital investment and connections nowadays.

Points that could improve the 1. point “Technology”:

• Make it possible to follow single users. Often I see some high quality content by users posted on communities to get drowned out by low effort posts … Though on average high quality users post to high quality communities. Make it possible to follow/subscribe to a single user, making this place more like twitter without the character limit. A similar point about singular users carrying Lemmys usefulness on the back was made by cabbage@piefed.social
• Introduce hashtags, to make it simpler to follow/ search interests. At the moment I do not see the niche communities I see on reddit thrive but broad categories that are hard to break up: Technology, Politics. While on reddit you would see multiple large active communities/bubbles related to politics with widely differing ideologies. This may be fixed by time and scale though…
• Since every user is tainted by the server they log in to, it is easy to assume the ideology because he joined server lemmy.X … make a way to hide that information, idk if that is technically compatible with lemmys design though …

Since Lemmy is an open source platform it is incredibly easy to build automated bots to spam it. I suggest looking for quality user Profiles to follow, and see what communities they posted on to find high quality communities.

Stupid Question:

How do I find out if a website I use is hosted over cloudflare? The noscipt javascript blocker extension shows in some cases I blocked some cloudflare javascript. For example on the lemmy.world instance it shows a script labeled “cloudflareinsights.com” that I block. That apparently provides visitor analytics

According to them on insights:

Our edge sees all requests made to a website, regardless of whether it’s cached or uncached, the user has adblock, or they turned off JavaScript. This enables us to […]

On other sites it shows a “confirm you are human” check-box labeled with the cloudflare brand (if I activate javascript for that site) – according to cloudflare wikipedia that service is known as Cloudflare Turnstile. This is how I currently see if cloudflare is involved.

Another interesting thing I noticed on stackoverflow is email protected which confirms to me stackexchange also uses cloudflare somehow.

I guess you could detect a Reverse Proxy by cloudflare based on its IP-Adress ~ but I do not really know how to look that up perhaps the following stack overflow answer might help using the tools nslookup and whois… Any other hints on this?

nslookup www.monero.town whois -h whois.arin.net n <IP-Adress from prev command> | egrep 'Organization'

lmao my etc/nixos/configuration.nix file is a mess, I have a huge list of programs and programming languages I use in packages = with pkgs; [ .... no flakes no modules… so the meme does not check out for me… but at least I got i3-window manager working using the wiki

Let me summarize the glory of the meme for people who do not get all the distributions references in textual form (and as a check if I get the references): The image shows the branding image of a bunch of operating systems and Linux distributions with memes … descriptions follow – left to right top to bottom:

• Debian: Smiling old men with tea meme, since it is so standard 0815
• Arch Linux: Overweight NPC meme in his room Anime collection in background
• Ubuntu: Money Meme (because big Cooperation sponsors Ubuntu I guess?)
• LFS (Linux from scratch a Distro where you build everything from scratch to learn how the linux system works): it has some Spongebob meme where Computer science P.h.ds get instructed by a wise snail who is an LFS user
• Manjaro: guy who looks cool from the front but his ass is visible in a mirror behind him
• Open-Suse: Chad-Meme (I guess the creator of the meme loved suse)
• Linux-Mint: Weird guy who wants to be cool with a skateboard… I guess since Linux-mint is so easy to use??
• gentoo linux and void linux: Stone age survivor in the woods with old tools (since you build everything from scratch with simple tools in these distros)
• Garuda Linux: guy with flashy LED-strips built into his shoes and expensive gaming laptop trys to be cool with sunglasses
• Pop-Os/Ubuntu: They are clones of each other, since they are all debian/ubuntu based
• fedora: Psychopath American Psycho movie meme
• Kali: Hacker with sunglasses on Laptop guy meme
• Windows: Guy with a clone of himself behind him holding a gun. (viewing the Candy-Crush advertisement in the start-menu be like:)
• Nixos, OpenBSD: Lonely guy sitting on a chair, staring into the void, he seems to be at peace.
• Apple: Golden luxury toilet, 5 stars
• Tux sits on a white Porsche racing car overtaking chromeOS sitting in a spongebob meme car, Apple with a cool Porsche red racing car behind.

ironically monero.town also uses Cloudflare.

oh no … I realized this is just statistics 101

omg this is big brain. Higher population density means higher amount of Bigfoot sightings and furry suits, which means both could be uncorrelated.

Why do I prefer the Odysee Video Platform over YouTube? Some technical reasons:

• native, user friendly RSS support: you can subscribe to channels using an RSS Button on their channel home page, you get a link like this that you can paste in your RSS reader. RSS feed items contain a playable Video on my feed reader, which means I do not need to visit the odysee.com website to watch my subscriptions, and I do not even need an account.
  • upload dates, and watchable Video are very well displayed in my RSS feed reader compared to YouTube feed items, which are a mess of header image and description
  • here is a tutorial how to get rss feeds from Odysee, yt, etc.
• native, user friendly support for downloading video with a download button under the video (an elipsis button)
• it is not the youtube monopoly
• until now: no ads. Peer-tube is also a cool alternative… Some popular youtubers like Distrotube and others tech-youtubers have already an Odysee account.
