@lord-adendaloth @vikinghoarder @PersephoneDives 99% of websites don’t work, and this gets another 9 every 5 years. If you use Noscript, you can selectively disable scripts.

@LoafyLemon @jarfil @Honse but they could just as well mark the ads as essential then

@RomTy @ThePenguinDev if Meta can shut it down, it will. Everything good is illegal.

@RomTy @ThePenguinDev

@Ilandar You get penalized if you don’t. In particular, if reddit decides to “lock your account for suspicious activity, please change password to re-enable” you can’t do that and your account is just gone

@mrbubblesort @gsa32 no, but they’d have to answer with whatever they do have, which is your email address and IP addresses

@Sentrovasi @matey @Schooner @vis4valentine @Parched_Monkey abolish capitalism

@hoodatninja @majestictechie @vis4valentine @Kushan @charles Isn’t it obvious? They want many players to have all of the content. Which is possible, because content doesn’t run out if one service plays it too much.

@Fleppensteijn even in more lenient countries, selling or giving away a copy that you made is illegal

@Fleppensteijn what? They actually tried to make reselling VHSes and DVDs illegal. And of course we all know that copying them is illegal.

@Fleppensteijn @vis4valentine another thing to consider is whether the creators of the work actually receive anything. When you pay to watch Barbie, basically 100% of that money goes to Bob Iger or someone like that. That’s what the strikes are about. When you pay to play Factorio, a lot more of the money goes to the people who made it.

@Tekchip @AndrewZen And the protocol is a million times more complicated and doesn’t always work reliably and requires a lot more server resources.

Piracy is best compared to riding a bus without a ticket.

@RagingNerdoholic @BraBraBra because what they are looking at to determine profitability isn’t actual profitability. They have certain metrics and they are making those metrics as high as possible. One might be, for example, ads served per page view.

go on, show us the threatening email

@blazera @psychothumbs if they don’t they’ll be replaced by someone else who will

do you understand what port forwarding is for?

edit: basically, one of two ends of a connection has to have port forwarding, or else the connection can’t happen at all.

Here’s what I have for Pleroma.

server {
server_name social.immibis.com; # this is what matches the domain name
root /var/www/social_html; # empty folder
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
}

# this block was from the pleroma documentation, I think. Mastodon and Lemmy might have their own recommendations. Upgrade is to enable proxying websockets. and the rest seems generally sensible for proxying.
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection “upgrade”;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 16m;
ignore_invalid_headers off;

# when you run Certbot it will change this to 443, insert SSL configuration, and set up a redirect on port 80
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
}

@skullgiver Yes, there are many ways to make sure your server connects to Tor and I2P sites. But that’s what the guy who ISN’T running a Tor/I2P site has to do, to federate with the Tor/I2P site. If you’re running the Tor/I2P site you can’t really do much on your side to enable federation.

Cloudflare won’t help because you need inbound connections. Some VPNs support *transient* port mapping designed for BitTorrent, but good luck trying to claim a stable port number for any significant length of time, never mind port 443 (which I’m sure is outside of the allocation range anyway). You’d have more luck trying to find a VPS provider crazy enough to let you pay anonymously with cryptocurrency with just a pinky promise that you’re not hosting child porn. Or just don’t federate.
