Is there a way to block facebook, instagram, etc on Seaxng?

I tried searching for a local place, and all I got for the first two pages are instagram and facebook pages. It wasn’t until the third page I got past all that crap to get to the actual website for the location. I even tried search “PlaceName City Website” and still got all that crap instead....

Dusty,

I’m guessing the latter.

Or a farmer playing with using explosives to remove a trunk.

Dusty,

I just wanted to say thank you for this, hopefully it helps to clean up the clutter from this community.

Dusty,

At this point, I'm begging users and the mods. Use the correct communities. This is /c/Technology, not /c/LatestRedditDrama

This community is over-run by this drama, which has multiple communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is pulling. Please use one of those instead.

Dusty,

Do reports come across from my instance to yours? I attempted to create an account on Beehaw, but apparently didn't answers the questions properly because they denied me.

Dusty,

What does this have to do with the fediverse? I don't want American political bullshit cluttering my feed like happened on that other site with literally every sub.

Dusty,

The vast majority of people that watch youtube, are most likely not using an ad block and won't be affected by this at all. Just like the vast majority of reddit users use the official app, and the vast majority of people on twitter stayed.

It will take a lot more than this to make something else the next big thing. Just like lemmy is nowhere near as popular as reddit, mastadon is nowhere near as popular as twitter. Yes those of us technical enough or that care enough will use an ad block or similar, but we are in the minority, and always will be.

Dusty,

For me it's fantasy. Stuff like Dungeon Crawler Carl, Joe Abercrombe or R A Salvatore etc... If you have a suggestion for an active community that's not on discord I'd love to hear it.

Dusty,

This is great and all, but what does it have to do with /c/piracy ?

There are many other communities about whatever the latest reddit drama is, please don't let this sub become like some others that are flooded with nothing but reddit drama

Dusty,

Sorry I'm just frustrated as a lot of communities have become nothing but the latest reddit drama. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen with this one too.

Dusty,

I love how they block it and say it's for "their users privacy" at the same time saying they block it because cloudflare won't send EDNS information to them. If CF did send that info, it would actually be one more piece of information that can be used to build a profile.

EDNS-Client-Subnet (ECS) is a draft informational RFC that uses the EDNS0 extensions to the DNS. Recursive DNS services that support ECS can provide the client (end-user) subnet as part of the DNS query, allowing authoritative DNS providers to use this extra information to make more informed traffic routing decisions.

They also try to make Cloudflare out to be the bad guy here, because they actually restricting information forwarded. It's asinine.

Dusty,

I personally despise yotuube shorts. I use rules in my ublock origin to block them so I don't see them on my youtube page.

Dusty,

I shared it here https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/460943 however the recent ui update on youtube has made it worthless. It also broke enhancer for youtube, so I'm hoping for an update to both.

Just a reminder that Wyze Bridge exists. It's great for self hosting your wyze camera stream. It also works with Home Assistant

Wyze, Waze, Tomato, Tomahtoe

I read good. Sorry about that, wrong app.

Dusty,

Holy cow you're right, sorry about that. That'll teach me to read good.

Dusty,

I gradutated top of my klass

Dusty,

How is this supposed to work in countries that have bandwidth caps, or slow internet connections?

It seems like every company these days wants to move everything to the cloud, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen. While something like this makes sense in some instances (like kiosks or similar maybe?) for the vast majority of use cases this is a non-starter.

Dusty,

Oh. Cool. Yet another reddit drama thread in /c/technology

When do we change the name of this community to /c/YetAnotherRedditDramaCommunity instead of /c/technology ?

Dusty,

That's great, there are many places dedicated to just that topic! It doesn't need to keep being posted here cluttering up actual news about actual tech items.

I don't go to /c/cats and post about dogs. Or to /c/America and post about Europe. There is a place for everything. This community has been constantly clogged up with crap about reddit.

Dusty,

Hey Mods, when are you going to rename this community to /c/TheLatestRedditNews as that's all that seems to get posted here?

I mean it's not like there aren't literally DOZENS of communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is up to so it needs to keep clogging up this community.

What's the better choice, hosting images locally or using imgur to host your images for you?

I believe there are pros and cons for both. Imgur is great because you truly don’t have to think about disk space or bandwidth. Imgur is not great because they can delete your posts at any time without warning and leave holes on the interenet, especially if we’re talking 5, 10 , 20 years from now....

edit: I'm an idiot and read it the wrong way sorry.
