I have a Reddit account since 2012. Used it once and it was awful, so I never touched it again.

Welcome back Thunderbird. Even if you were never gone from my place.

Welcome to the Fediverse, EU 😂

I’ve never seen an “alternative” to Twitter. I just saw additions. Twitter is for those, imho, who just give a shit about hate-speech, advertising, bad moderation, …
Other platforms are more for those who are really interested in conversations, feedback and maybe critique.

There is a reason, why I block this person who wrote it. She allows herself to be influenced by hate speech, tries to force her opinion on others, and abuses her power of an entire instance to lock someone out instance-wide because one person pushes Twitter’s lies on her.
This person is not trustworthy because she lashes out with her ignorance and arrogance and thinks she can get away with anything.
She can’t even follow her own instance rules, where it is written that even microaggressions are not allowed, but she and several members of her instance make active use of #Fediblock, in which they offend the denounced persons now and then. In addition, she carries information that people have emailed her into her public timeline and uses it to further incite hatred.

I would suggest a title like “Videos about self-hosting”.

The title of this post is a bit misleading. Could you please add more information to it?

I’m using Filestash with a minio backend. Works amazing.

I’m a great fan of both. But for a simple file vault, Nextcloud would be a bit overloaded. I used Seafile a long time, but switched to Nextcloud because of calendar, contacts, …
But beside these two options, Cozy and Pydio could be worth a try. Both are selfhostable too. Especially Cozy seems to be very close on the UI known from Dropbox.

There are minor things not working. E.g. networking with Wireguard and OpenVPN are turned off mostly, because on container VMs this needs some changes on host side. Switching the Kernel is not possible. Most of the time very system-oriented operations. If it’s just about providing a web page, e.g. Lemmy, etc. that would be perfectly adequate.

VMWare is a virtual machine. Not a physical one. The only difference that could be is, that vStack may run like an OpenVZ Container and using the hosts kernel, … instead of it’s own. I’m currently on mobile, so I can’t take a closer look the the homepage

For me, adblocker are more kind of self defense. One wouldn’t need them, when most website operators wouldn’t add more ad than content to their pages.

Announcing that your announcement is stateless.

Why so negative? I think about something like “Nearly 10% of Linux systems already use Wayland”.

Unless he’s using Mastodon. Then the mentions are automatically added. Depends on the client he’s using.

That’s an interesting point of view. Even though, you couldn’t split the Fediverse into just 4 parts, in my eyes.

My experience over the last few years is that Discord in particular is used for organized cyberbullying, hate speech, blackmailing, badmouthing, as support seems to be more than absent. And if support ever gets back to you, you feel like you’re in a German ‘Media Markt’: “That’s not my department!”.
As an aside, almost everyone there seems to think they can make their own laws and ignore, for example, countries’ privacy laws. Sharing screenshots from direct messages seems to be as normal as brushing teeth for many there.

oh, nice. But sadly not usable with an existing ONLYOFFICE document portal CE. One can open the files from the portal, but it’s not allowed to edit without a license 🙁

Because I’m often on the train, it’s easier for me to take an e-book reader, than anytime carrying a book with me.

I want a Drow emoji. And a Tiefling one! /s

All this bullshit about emojis, just because someone feels excluded because there is no emoji for their “identity” is just nonsense. All of a sudden, emojis were no longer allowed to be just yellow, but had to have a skin color. Children, LGTBQ+, or other emojis came, just so no one would feel pissed off. What would everyone do if emojis were just 2 or 3 characters again?
