I don't see anyone talking about CrossCode, but it's such an amazing game. And it's on sale right now!

Profound story, excellent sound design, amazing soundtrack, insanely well designed combat system. It's just an incredible game. It has more content, depth, and attention to detail than most AAA games these days.

If you're picking it up, get the DLC as well! It's not just DLC, it's the conclusion of the game's story!

Thanks! I use my own deployment that uses Caddy, and I based it on their example Caddyfile. But it looks like I might be good. Their reference Caddyfile accepts application/* with an asterisk, which seems to sidestep this issue entirely!

Once you've finished updating it, can you share the changes you made to your Nginx config? If the default references have issues with them, I'd like to make sure mine doesn't have the same problems.

Just to put this out there, I made a script that greatly simplifies getting started for new users:

I don't have a way to import existing data into this, but I'll add that feature soon™

If you wanted to run Lemmy on your own server, consider giving this a try!

It might be that your phone camera actually takes them like that, but shows them to you rightside up. When you upload an image, you're uploading the exact file of the photo. If that file is "sideways," it's going to be sideways on Lemmy.

I think you meant to reply to a post about Mastodon and Threads, this one is about steak 🥩

Not only did I add threads.net to my blocked instances list, I also went scorched Earth and outright blocked Facebook's entire IP range through my firewall. Don't want them "accidentally" reading any data from my server ;)

For reference, their IP range is 157.240.0.0/16:

Edit: Actually, I might have more IPs to block:

Oh it's the dev, hey there! o/

In case you were wondering how that reply looked through Ntfy:

Funny enough, the Lemmy devs actually do use Ntfy for their CI/CD notifications (near the bottom of this config).

But yeah, thanks for making Ntfy. I usually use Gotify for my self hosted notification needs, but I needed something with SMTP support so I could use it on Lemmy. Came across Ntfy by chance, and holy crap dude, it does everything!

If you self host both Lemmy and Ntfy, you can enable Ntfy's SMTP receiver, and have Lemmy send emails to that port. It's not well formatted for Ntfy but it works. Anything Lemmy would have sent an email for will be sent to Ntfy, and Lemmy thinks it's sending an email.

I just got this set up for myself and it works pretty well! You just need to use a specifically crafted email address with a token in order for it to work.

However, this is only really viable for single-user instances. For myself, this is the perfect solution. But for others with more Lemmy users, unless you want to be manually managing tokens for all of your users, this is not a good solution.

If you don't self host Lemmy, I guess you could still self host Ntfy as an open email server and get them that way, but that sounds like it could get messy.

I'm not sure about Mastodon, but at least for Lemmy, not every piece of information is available from the API or web interface. Some of it is only sent through federation. Namely, who, specifically, voted for something, edit history, probably a few other things.

Does Mastodon just hand over a complete list of everyone who liked a post? Even if it has thousands of likes? That kind of data would be very valuable to a company like Facebook.

They didn't even address what will happen when Facebook starts aggregating data from instances federated with Threads:

  • Vote/Like data
  • Follow relationships
  • Text sentiment analysis
  • Behavioral patterns
  • Periods of activity
  • etc

Heck, not only did this post not address it, it seems like they tried to downplay it.

Facebook is an analytics company. Even if it's not mission critical to the function of Threads, they will scoop up data sent to Threads, they will use it to create profiles on every single non-Threads user they can, and they will sell that data.

It doesn't even matter if it violates privacy laws; the laws are toothless to companies as large as Facebook. They'll just be made to pay a fine and carry on as they are.

Yes, interoperability would be a win, but not when it comes from a company that has routinely demonstrated they abuse every crumb of data they can get their hands on.

That DM sending bug was already fixed in a later rc version. Although rc.9 and I think 10 have a weird bug where you can't sign out. Fun stuff.
