Honestly, a PC monitor and a separate device connected to it is probably much less bullshit.

Pihole is nice to have regardless of TVs.

Commercial displays are usually very overpriced, although if you can get a good deal that could be nice.

Not sure I’d “trust” any such menu.

PCI/GPU Passthrough is amazing.

Currently: Not for a user.
The only way to block at instance level is defederation which is usually a bit extreme.

This shouldn’t be too complicated to handle at the user level, but someone would have to spend time to develop it and contribute to lemmy source code.

Likewise, there are specific instances for which I’d want to auto-sub to all current and future communities, which is also not a fair that exists (other than creating your account there and browsing “Local”)

IMHO, Blocking at the user level is a feature that’s relatively likely to happen eventually.

Cat per square inch is a good unit

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

You’re saying I’m she 30 and olup?

Idk non English speaker misunderstood “giving the finger”?

Hiking, painting, 3d printing, board games, gardening.
Collecting and restoring knives.

Whatever you feel like doing…
But find something that’s different enough than your future job.
I mean… I troubleshoot network stuff for a living and coming home and doing puzzles would absolutely suck, as it’s the same kind of stimuli (finding patterns).
Every job is different, and I burn out of different hobbies depending on what job I’m doing.

Yes it’s running in my reverse proxy.
Nginx is doing my “client ssl verify” in front of my web services.
You can even do this on a per uri/location.
For example, my nextcloud is open without client certs so I can share files with people, but the admin settings path is protected by client ssl.

Some apps now have support for client certs (home-assistant ❤).
Nextcloud is one of the only apps that’s open without client ssl because it’d be highly inconvenient to share a file link with someone if I had to install a cert on their devices. Plex app never works right for me so I just use the browser. My TV is too old to have old built-in so I have a VM in which I use a browser to watch plex.

Yea my server is running 128GB of RAM, no way I’m making 256GB of swap.

I do client ssl verification.
Nobody but me or my household is supposed to access those anyway.
Any failure is a ban (I don’t remember how long for).
I also ban every IP not from my country, adjusting that sometimes if I travel internationally.
It’s much easier when you host stuff only for your devices (my case) and not for the larger public (like this lemmy instance).

I mean they can see your comments in those though

If your love for cake isn’t stronger than your hate for _insert_anyone_, there’s something wrong with you.

I’ve been using embiggen on android for years but a foss alternative would be nice.

After the self induced constipation, they’ll need the poop knife for sure.

Didn’t they buy alien blue before that?
It was the most popular, before Apollo even existed I think.
They bought that, turned it to shit despite it starting from a beloved, yet now unrecognizable mess. Even if they bought Apollo, RIF, Relay, Sync and Baconreader tomorrow, their goal with the site conflicts with what people enjoy about using it and anything they do will be shittier and shittier.
People would always flock to another community focused app as long as that’s a possibility, so they decided to nuke the whole concept.

The way I see it is since I’m not a reddit customer, then I’m the product.
Except, if I’m the product, you’re probably not supposed to nickle and dime me.
It’s kinda like if McDonald’s was trying to charge cows for the privilege of being ground into patties, but relied on them to go through the process of their own free will.
Without user content, reddit is just an empty husk, a waste of data center resources, yet they behave like they’re somehow entitled to my engagement on the platform.

As for how they’ve handled things, it’s been a train wreck.
Just requiring reddit premium to have access to the API/3rd party apps would have made a few waves, but nothing like this. Keeping their mouth shut would have been more useful than almost everything they’ve done… whatever their strategy was…

Even without any of that though, they’ve been working hard at making the experience worse for a while. The redesign focuses on the user consuming ads instead of content, dooms scrolling instead of reading or commenting.

TL;DR: They were going to shit regardless, they just decided to use more fans.
