I'm actually curious to know if federated instances share the data of their federated instances... if so, there is a proper reason to be actually alarmed, as ACLs would essentially be cosmetic only.
I hope the "published" column is the time at which that user downvoted you and not the time at which you posted the original content... there is less than 2s in between some.
No budget was stated, and I'm not gonna assume you don't want a "good piece of hardware" because you looked at something 2 orders of magnitude cheaper. If I had the cash, I would definitely get one (or more!) of those bad boys, and would run all my infra on them... I might however in such case still look at an additional SBC just for plugging to the IPMI interfaces and turn the machines on and off at will.
No. A simple website won't help, it needs to be a Lemmy instance. Moreover, it needs to be a federated one.
And then, that "invisible" data being available to other admins, is a problem with federation, not with Lemmy.
Now, there could very well be efforts made to make the cleartext data of each instance users available only to the admins of that instance (and only share aggregated data with other instances), but that would also require a lot more consideration wrt mutual instance trust in the network.
Right now, since votes and other actions are public (to the federated instances admins anyway), it is doable to detect and assert foul play. The downside of this is that it allows abusers to malevolently collect data and do the same bad things that you are so certain the alternatives to Lemmy don't do (yeah, as if).
If the instances shared only aggregated data with one another, it would be much harder for abusive small instance owners to spy on any user on the network (still possible, but it would essentially would be as hard as for anyone else, as it would involve heuristics and lots of intelligence, to interpolate the missing information); but it would also be much harder for legit admins trying to enforce moderation to inspect what happened on federated instances. They would have to take those instance's admins at their words.
As an additional note: that "invisible" data that other platforms allegedly don't share, is for sale. That's what surveillance capitalism is all about... At least with Lemmy, the barrier of entry to get our data is "federation", not "money".
Edit: ~~WTF bro, a day and a half before writing this wrong comment I'm answering to, you wrote a properly worded, technically correct (top level) comment... Were you half asleep on this one??~~
Edit 2: nah, the reason why your other comment was technically correct and properly worded is that you stole it (would have been so easy to give credit...) SMH. 😮💨
Edit 3: So I checked your comment history (after seeing that other comment of yours about the user that mass downvoted you, I was legit curious how bad it could have been), you seem technically knowledgeable, and also educated. Thus, I reiterate, this specific comment, what gives!?
Edit 4: lol at your edit. 😶🌫️
Supermicro latest H13 servers are good pieces of hardware. They also can run jellyfin. For optimal longevity, I recommend a Supermicro AS -2025HS-TNR fit with 2 9654, 12 dimms of 64GB DDR5, and 12 20TB HDDs.
So that would be my pick, with the stated requirements.
Yeah those are some next level antisocial personality disorder smiles, aren't they?

The video has many inaccuracies.
While the gist of it is correct, and physical OSI layers separation is indeed better for control (there is a valid reasons for "hardware" firewalls to exist), a lot of what she says is vastly extrapolated at best, or arguably wrong at worst.
And then, yes, regardless of the content, I'm pretty sure YouTube videos will be downvoted here.
Buying it is the exact reason they can afford not requesting a warrant.
The logic chain is as follows:
- You wilfully pay for services and content with your data (you don't pay with cash, and you keep using services that you know use your data instead)
- Those services do use the data as advertised (for advertisements, too)
- Anyone can then buy the data. Your data. It is by design, and you agreed to it.
- The NSA is among "anyone". They absolutely have the right to buy the data that you sold for services. The irony in their case, is that they are using your own money, that they got though taxes, for that.
They would not have the right to get that data otherwise. And for the most part, they probably wouldn't get it (the amount of data generated by the surveillance capitalism is properly staggering and mind-blowing). But you sold it, and it's fair game, so they might as well buy it with a tiny fraction of your taxes, right?
I'm guessing the actual problem is with a method allegedly killing painlessly in minutes being "tweaked" to kill with maximum prejudice in the longest possible time... Knowing humans as I know humans, I don't think the "witnesses" would be in any discomfort seeing exactly what they came to see.
