Shit Smoke, did the C.R.A.S.H. make you sell us out?

Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I'm a proud Proton user, some games just won't work, like Valorant and PUBG).

Happy holidays everyone

não estamos matando o fediverso por sufocamento?

Pela sua lógica, deveríamos manter a federação com todas as instâncias, inclusive as que permitem conteúdo ilegal e imoral, pelo bem de aumentar a quantidade geral de usuários. Não queremos isso.

Eu entendo onde você quer chegar com isso, mas acho que a instância da Meta deve ser tratada como qualquer outra. Se viemos todos pra cá buscando um ambiente mais amigável e sem os problemas das outras redes sociais, porque deveríamos federar com instâncias que querem replicar esse tipo de comportamento no fediverso?

Estamos basicamente empurrando as pessoas na direção de algoritmos

Acho que vale perguntar duas coisas antes de assumir isso:

1 - Estamos divulgando o Lemmy/Mastodon para tornar ele conhecido e visto como alternativa válida?

2 - As pessoas que sabem da existência do fediverso e não migraram, realmente querem fugir dos algoritmos?

As pessoas que querem fugir do algoritmo irão buscar alternativa, assim como na última migração de usuários do Reddit pra cá; os que não se importam, vão continuar onde estão. Não podemos forçar as pessoas a concordar com a gente, só podemos apresentar a alternativa e torcer pra que venham conosco.

Não sou o ademir, mas vou tentar complementar.

Desfederar do Threads apenas impede que eles vejam e interajam com comunidades, posts e usuários dessa instância. Mas nada impede que elas saiam do Threads e criem uma nova conta aqui ou em qualquer outra instância.

O melhor jeito de fazer as pessoas saírem de lá é explicar pra elas os problemas de usar redes sociais baseadas em algoritmos, e apresentar uma alternativa. Se não nos ouvirem ou não gostarem da alternativa dada, não há mais nada que possa ser feito.

Snapper also uses btrfs subvolumes to create snapshots, so if you did create them during your installation process, nothing to worry about.

I don't remember if there is a way to create them after the installation, neither if it's a tough process tho. I used to simply reinstall when I messed up with the subvolumes.

I'm currently using qBittorrent in "mixed mode" (clearnet + i2p), and honestly it's amazing, even though there's no current DHT implementation for i2p. Sure, you have to configure your client to automatically add the i2p trackers and everything, but it's a huge step forward IMO.

I've also tested how one could "transfer" clearnet torrents to i2p and it went pretty well, even though you have to modify the original .torrent file to be accepted in some i2p trackers (I used postman tracker to test it, and they only accept torrents which all announce URLs are within i2p).

In general, I've found qBittorrent's implementation pretty stable and suitable for day-to-day use, even though it lacks some features.

It's not enabled in the 4.6 beta version, I think they'll keep it that way

If by flagship instance you mean .ml, they drove people off because of the Reddit migration. They couldn't afford to upgrade their infrastructure, so they told people to register in other instances.

No problem bro, most people here don't know that because it lasted for about 4 days or so. Our first president liked our flag and national anthem from the imperial era, so he said it was bullshit to change them. That's why this "Republic of the United States of Brazil" didn't catch on (thankfully), and got forgotten.

Yes, we used to be.
