A video of someone playing the game, on somewhere like YouTube. You get to watch someone else (the “lets player”) play, and use all the mechanics.

What’s the advantage for the bank?

It looks like the registrar changed the nameserver, which is a harder thing to recover from. Still, didn’t keep them down for long. Looks like they figured something out

What Google/Facebook did, while a little silly, at least makes some sense because they’re segregating the product from the megacorp that owns the product. They maintain the benefits of having consistent branding while also separating out their corporate interests under a new name. In Google’s case, Google still exists as a subsidiary of Alphabet, while in Facebook’s case Facebook is not a separate company anymore but it still exists as just one of the platforms that Meta operates.

With X, the product itself was renamed, and in so doing the branding was destroyed. There’s no good reason to do this as far as I can tell.

Paradox games require you to turn on Ironman mode to get achievements, which is why all of them have really low achievement percentages. That combined with vanilla just seems like not a whole lot of fun to me.

I use vim btw

The term is real, it’s even used in scientific literature. The term possibly even predates 4chan, or maybe it’s just a success on 4chan’s part, successfully laundering a term into scientific discourse? It’s hard to find too much solid evidence on the origin of the term. 4chan did seriously signal boost it with the whole “MAP Pride” thing though.

I think you may be using a different definition of terms. Pro-contact MAPs think that having sex with minors is fine, and that it isn’t abuse. Here’s a link to the MAP wiki on the subject: https://map-wiki.com/index.php/Pro-contact

If you go to the instance being discussed, you’ll see people openly saying that sex with kids is okay and that they don’t think there’s a problem with it.

Well yeah, that’s what pro contact means. Pro sexual contact. They don’t think there’s any inherent problem with sexual relationships between adults and kids.

“Pro contact” is just a polite way to say it, obfuscating what they’re really talking about.

Yet they did remove other pedo instances from join-lemmy, so there’s a good chance it’ll get removed.

It looks like the instance has only existed for about a month, so it’s not too surprising it hasn’t been noticed before now.

They already removed pedo instances before, so they’ll probably remove this one. They seem to draw a much harder line on pedophilia than politics.

You’re right that the post is badly written, because it just sorta says “this is a place that promotes paraphilia!” But in this particular case, this server hosts reprehensible content and is not just a community for kinky people that happens to have pedos on it.

It’s like if there were a knife enthusiast instance where the largest local community was about committing crime, where the admin self-identifies as being into commiting crimes. It’s absolutely true most knife enthusiasts have no interest in committing crime, and therefore the knife enthusiasts who don’t want to commit crime probably wouldn’t join the server that promotes crime.

The analogy falls apart a bit because it’s true that they’re not doing anything illegal over there, at least not publicly. But they’re still promoting viewing kids sexually, promoting sexual contact with kids, even talking about nude photos of kids.

I don’t know about you, but I tend to make lots of little changes to my setup all the time. Versioning makes it easy to roll back those individual changes, and to tell which change broke what. Sure, you could accomplish the same thing with backups, but versioning offers additional information with negligible cost.

Why not stick them in a git repo?

The HTTP protocol isn’t really the problem, I2P uses HTTP same as the clearnet. It’s just the fact that I2P is a closed network, so anything hosted on I2P will only federate with other instances on I2P—which as far as I’m aware, is none of them.

I’ve done this before, it’s definitely a bit of a hack but it went without a hitch for me. Depending on your bootloader you’ll probably have to edit/regenerate your bootloader config as well.

Good call on rsync, just make sure to use the right flags. I’m on Arch so I used the command from the Arch page on full system backup using rsync, but it should work for any distro.

A lot of people like having a NAS VM like OpenMediaVault or TrueNAS that handles their drives via passthrough.

It sounds like you would prefer a lighter weight option—the way my storage is set up is ZFS pools handled by Proxmox itself, then bind mounted from the host into containers that handle the actual file sharing portion. I have separate, self-configured containers for Samba and NFS, but there are turnkey options in the proxmox template menu if you’d prefer.

Ideally, you’d spin up a dedicated container for every service. Combining services somewhat undercuts the advantages of having them in containers to begin with.

i3 will have lower requirements, since it’s just a bare window manager. XFCE is about as lightweight as a fully featured desktop environment can get, whereas with i3 you have to bring your own tools.

Incidentally, you can use i3 as the window manager portion of XFCE if you want.

I think that’s part why BG3 has taken off so much, honestly. We’ve had so many open world games with ridiculously large maps that a lot of people are disillusioned with the lack of depth.

BG3 with its narrower scope makes for a much deeper experience. I would love a game that can do both depth and breadth, but these games already are a massive undertaking.

How does moderation work in this scenario? Does it fall to instance admins to moderate, and defederate/ban anyone who is causing problems for the global community? That seems like it would amplify the moderation burden significantly
