Also helps with NonBinary representation too.

You may want to remember that blocking servers in lemmy only really targets the communities and doesn’t target users from the instance. So in these situations it kinda doesn’t do anything. It’s a common misconception that instance blocking in Lemmy is stronger than it actually is and many people think it does things that it doesn’t actually do.

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

Yeah they’re posting from a lemmy.world account, Lemmy.world doesn’t tolerate spammers, which is what this guy is. He is posting emoji spam.

But I’m sure we’d be loosing good people from hexbear too

Not really, the good people will just make accounts elsewhere and start using those accounts to interact here and on the rest of the fediverse, most of the good ones already do that because hexbear is already very isolated by virtue of the fact they’re using whitelist federation and also the fact that they already have been defederated for the spam, trolling, and harassment their less savory members bring about (and more importantly the fact that it is unpunished by their instance’s moderators if not encouraged).

You are a sad and pathetic troll, it’s funny because you’ll just be banned, have the messages deleted and then everyone will forget all about you. It’s literally pointless for you to even be doing this.
I will admit that it is funny and enjoyable when the time comes for trolls to be banned.

Really wish people would take the time to learn how the options work and not just assume they work a certain way, instance blocks are just for communities and not the users on the instance:

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

When people frame this option as if it’s an alternative to defederation it is both deceptive and dishonest because it does not help with the current issues instances like hexbear bring to the table, it just blocks the communities of that instance.

Most people on hexbear with any desire to participate in good faith will have other accounts elsewhere, Hexbear is already isolated as can be so multiple accounts is basically required for them to participate on the rest of the Fediverse. Shouldn’t feel too bad about cutting off their Hexbear accounts since they almost certainly have others.

You’re either confusing me with someone else or whatever app you’re using is broken because I am not an instance admin here.

Also even if I was it still wouldn’t be my decision alone and would be up to the rest of the team to decide, because that’s how a large instance is run, you don’t just go do big things like that randomly without having a discussion about it first.

Yeah I couldn’t agree more, they’ve caused enough issues to prove that it really isn’t and hasn’t been a joke for a long time.

Most of the people who shill for DRM are such sad and pathetic trolls that they usually get banned from most sensible communities and platforms, there are still a good amount on Reddit but even there they often get buried with downvotes.

Also tracking protection in the browser to prevent reading browser history and such. Security and privacy practices are absolutely paramount if you’re planning on visiting services like that. Of course the best thing is to not visit them at all but some people feel they need to see it for themselves, if they choose they should be prepared and keep themselves safe.

I think it will be, I think the only console that can’t be hacked without a hardmod is the Xbox 360? But I am unaware if it is because it has a solid security system or just the lack of interest for prominent people lol.

I don’t think it’s lack of interest, over the years they have streamlined the process of hard modding, nowadays you don’t even need a glitch chip you just need to connect a wire between two points to attain a similar result.

I imagine that it’s likely a similar type of refinement will happen in switch hard modding.

Very doubtful of full soft mods happening anytime soon though unless the keys are obtained somehow.

Well the 3ds is much older and also never had it’s hardware exploit released to Nintendo before the New 3DS came out.

Not the case with Nintendo because as Kate Temkin on her moral high horse decided to kiss Nintendo’s ass and give it away to be patched on all later Nintendo Switch revisions (wasn’t entirely her but she helped Nintendo directly). So there goes the Switch’s equivalent of NTRboot and also probably its eqivalent of B9S as well since the New SoCs also disable auto payload rebooting functionality in AMS.

With how much the bootloader has been documented it seems unlikely anything besides a glitching exploit (or massive leak at Nintendo) will be able to mod the later Switch revisions, you never know of course, but it doesn’t look promising

By use of a voltage glitching chip that glitches the chip to bypass checks and inject the boot code. It’s a different exploit altogether and requires hardware modding. That method can mod all Switches from Late v1 systems all the way up to the OLED and the exploit might even work on the Switch’s sucessor (would require a new chip for the new hardware and likely modifications to the glitching routine)

You could try asking in the appeals room, on the Official dbzer0 Matrix space. If you don’t have a matrix account you can sign up here.

The server I play on has Mobgriefing disabled and has had it disabled for many years since people would use creepers to blow holes in people’s walls and floors on purpose. Also ghasts were blowing up parts of the nether hub and gold farm (made of glass).

They also disabled fire spreading because people were destroying stuff with it both intentionally and unintentionally.

The issue is the server doesn’t use plugins since they had lots of issues after each update while using plugins and the maintainers decided it wasn’t worth it to maintain that. So as is it only has a script to minitor chat for commandts like :home :spawn :warp etc. and is otherwise completely vanilla.

There are some downsides like that villagers don’t breed but they also do give out spawn eggs and occasionally spawners, so it’s still reasonably easy to renew villagers. Big downside is that farmers can’t replant crops, so all crop farms are manual.

The weird thing is that many times people throw away microwaves simply because they’re dirty. Idiot just clean your fucking microwave.

I don’t own any flags myself, I only own pins. If I did own flags though I would iron them so they look nice.

I don’t really plan on getting them though unless I can find at least an AroAce flag in the purple and green color scheme. Which I haven’t up until now, technically I couldn’t find a pin either but pins are easy to get custom made, flags not so much (at least I never looked into it).

Yes, but often those countries come with their own huge bag of problems.

Not saying they don’t, everything has pros and cons and you need to decide what’s really important to you and whether or not it’s worth overcoming the challenges associated, many decide it isn’t, and that’s okay, but some decide it is and choose to pursue it.

I’m saying we don’t give the copyright and corporate trolls what they want and act or talk like the enemy states out of their reach don’t exist or that someone couldn’t or wouldn’t go there to do the dirty work, or imply that these places are going away sometime in the near future.

All not that easy and it can get highly criminal very fast.

Of course it is, anyone should know that working in and for an enemy country is criminal. If someone didn’t understand that they need to pick a side in the world they deserve what they get. Most people who are dedicated enough to go that far understand the risks well enough, and are willing to take them.

This is such a stupid argument considering you don’t need a fucking giant ass data center to host a tiny little git server. I’ve seen this argument time and time again, but the real reason people go with VPSes is convenience and laziness.

I would absolutely agree with the other person that renting your own VPS is not self-hosting, not by a long shot. You could argue that you need a massive host for a large video or music platform, or even a large git platform with thousands of repos, but not for a tiny single user, single project forgejo or gitlab instance or a single static web page.

Draconic_NEO, 1 month ago

It’s not even needed for a tiny single user git instance, they’re grossly over-representing the amount of resources required to host one of those.
