I guess in reality, a NSFW instance could probably also host SFW.

But it’s less likely that someone running a SFW would want the additional headache of hosting NSFW.

The reason for this (imv), is that hosting for general and nsfw communities are very different kettles of fish.

For general communities, you want lots of consideration, nuance, and nudging when moderating and setting what is acceptable content. As this helps to gradually build positive self regulating communities.

For NSFW, you have to be hair trigger deleting stuff, or you just end up hosting horrible shit.

I have respect for the guys willing to deal with hosting NSFW content, because it’s more than I’d ever be comfortable with!

The trick with visiting Paris (other than “don’t”), is to stay in a small commuter town, then get the train in to see the interesting things.

Finally, a local WEEE company gets to make a few hundred bucks selling off the glorified VOC sensors at the end.

A bit like how people used to deliberately miss-spell things to fit in with their mates.
“Fink”, etc.

Bear in mind that the US’ main parties do not define the extent of Left and Right.

There are a few ways to go about it. You can try to use the microsoft RDP like system with XRDP. Or you can go over to VNC.
But I agree, it is a little bit of a fiddle. Keep at it!

I think this is it. Extra margin they can slap on at the last second.
Prosumers aren’t going to care, because if the hardware is still OK, they can just re-install.
But consumers end up buying gear that is hobbled with shiteware.

Thanks for the post, it persuaded me to get off my bottom and add another one to the list.

I’m not sure if there is a way to quickly find this. The best bet is probably trying the bigger instances, and seeing if it’s accessible through them.

You’ve made me think now: it might be a nice project for a some instance admins to flag when an instance they had received posts from goes offline. (I should probably check what I have from feddit.de!)

feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That’s hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.

Plus our time, but we’re obviously doing it as a labour of love.

If any federated banning networks do pop up, I’d expect them to form groups, with different groups having different standards. And the idea being that if someone’s banned from one place with similar standards, the rest of the group probably wouldn’t welcome the content.

It’ll come down to places and groups being reasonable, and not banning for stupid reasons (at least by that group’s standards). And if they are unreasonable, it’ll reflect on the group, as nobody would bother posting to those instances any more.

And in a way, the ultimate “ban” will be with the host instance, similarly to email.
An admin at lemmy.world might get a report that an account is spreading csam links everywhere, and to consider banning them, for example.

I’ve been really pleased with the feddit.uk community so far. It probably helps that a lot of us are geographically similar.

This is precisely it.
One other point is, some instance want to focus on certain things, and take the risks, where others don’t.
Our community feddit.uk doesn’t do nsfw, because it’s not worth the headache for what our main focus is.
The guy running lemmynsfw on the other hand, is enthusiastically embracing the challenges involved, and more power to him!

And in the end, it works. We handle Mr. Brains Pork Balls, they can handle…other balls.

We do now have PTP, which has several big improvements. But it’s a lot more involved to set up.

Ah, excellent! Thanks for that, I’ll definitely see if I can do it under ZHA.

And no problem, glad you got off the hub!

Exactly this. When you read about the metaverse in something like Snow Crash, it’s a place built by enthusiasts, very cheap to use, and people have the choice of DIY, or paying someone to do things for them.

In the facebook’s version, everything but connecting costs money, and it’s all done by facebook.

You’ll need to have a zigbee radio on a HomeAssistant instance (maybe possible with other software).
And on HomeAssistant, run ZHA (or similar) with the zigbee radio.
Sorry if that’s teaching to suck eggs, just wanted to clarify.

If you’re already set up with that, it’s just a case of deleting a bulb from the Hue bridge, and searching for it using the zigbee integration. Once it’s deleted from Hue, it will go into pairing mode. You may need to power cycle the bulb if it does not appear in the search within 10s.

HASS was able to support my white/ambiance bulbs and colour bulbs without any issues. In fact, it responds faster. The only downside is that they don’t so much fade, as jump to a new value. The update frequency is about 2 times per second.

The good news is, most hue bulbs can be controlled directly over zigbee now. I migrated mine a few days ago, and the trickiest part was persuading Hue to delete the bulbs so they could enter pairing mode.

It’s possible. I have paw prints of varying size and pressure in the concrete around my house (thanks cat).

The ones from super wet concrete look almost like a duck/goblin footprint, the ones in drier screed look like those tiles, but much less deep.
