The only true solution to this is cryptographically signed identities.

One method is identity verification tied to a public key, which can be done with claims aggregation (I am X on GitHub, and Y on LinkedIn, and Z on my national ID, etc), but this removes anonymous use.

Another is a central resource to verify a user’s key is a real human, where only one entity controls the identity verification. While this allows pseudo anonymous use, it also requires everyone to trust one individilual entity, and that has other risks.

We’ve been discussing this with FedID a lot, lately.

Lemmy is a small place. Dave is friggin moldy. 😉

True, I went through that phase as well. It usually came with a side of insecurity. Just happy to have grown in more than just age.

Name your devices after humans.

Tommy needs larger memory.

I think I’m going to reboot Denise.

I dropped Dave today.

Having grown up in a conservative household in a red state (US), and having thought this as I transitioned away to more liberal stances as I learned more about the world, I have to say: Spot on. I was an uninformed idiot.

I may have something to read up on.

Oh yea, totally agree. It’s a terrible solution, but it is a solution. I would much prefer something like SearXNG being able to array filter all Fediverse domains.

I used this: https://github.com/arabcoders/watchstate

It works, really, really well. You just connect it to the servers, and it syncs them by user. You can even let it run regularly while you are in your transition phase as a docker container right next to Plex and Jellyfin.

Mine’s even a bit more advanced, as I used samba-domain to set up an LDAP active directory for my fam, then the above to sync the Plex users to those users in Jellyfin, and it still worked great.

Edit: The WebUI is also pretty intuitive, but I did have to run it twice for my user the first time for it to get 100% in sync. Everything was fine after that.

site:lemmy.world It may not be great, but most content ends up there.

Realistically they would get a bailout “for the consumer”.

More likely than central hosting would be some of the same people enabling faster modes via software hacks currently making them run offline.

My current server runs 40ish docker containers and has 24TB of disk space in a ZFS array.

It is a 11 year old Intel chip and mobo that was my desktop once upon a time. I have been thinking about updating it simply because of power draw, but it works just fine.

I did add in PCI risor boards to get PCI 3.0 NVME drives in there.

It’s pretty common practice to upgrade your computer and turn your old one into a server. Then continue that cycle every upgrade.

Bidet ftw.

What? There are hundreds of thousands of FOSS projects with great presentation. GIMP is the exception these days, not the rule.

I debated on going Kubernetes, but almost everything I host is stateful, so using built in replication just makes more sense (for my personal home lab, anyway).

Yea, this is clearly me now. And of course what I do at work but with regions, too. Just looking to do something a bit more fun this time around.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Tempting.

This is why I did street names originally. I have a server in two locations currently, and can one-command migrate a service between them. So good suggestion since I will still have that option.

Hah, love the cluster names.

This may be the one. Reminds me of pet naming. Though, my cat was named… Cat.

Am American. Would take every day of it. Would come back and laugh at them when they picked on me for it, while calling them idiots for not taking advantage of the opportunity. “Have fun talking yourselves out of regret, losers.”
