Creative height is the bar for when something becomes protected (facts or obvious patterns aren’t protected), and functional features of a design aren’t protected. In general layouts are mostly functional (with exceptions) but button designs may mostly be expressive.

January 1 2025, guess Steam preferred not waiting in this case

You need to set up a publicly accessible device (in this case the VPS) as your IPv6 gateway

So you set up your VPN connecting your network to the VPS (should probably be set up from the router) and set your router to advertise an IP adress for the VPS which is routable from your local network as the gateway address (and should probably also run DHCPv6 for your network)

(note, I have not set up this stuff myself so I can’t help with implementation details)

Obsession with control, including control over future generations

Not everything is hooked up to that

Bluesky does have federation, it’s just limited for now. You can host your own accounts on your own hardware.

It pretends to be privacy focused, but because everything but 1-to-1 secret chats (where you have compared session identifiers) are accessible to the company and they keep logs of all group chats which they can access (even if they claim they can’t, that’s bullshit)

So by default your instance respect mod removals.

You can change that as a server admin, so comments would remain visible to other users on your instance.

I think your instance is authoritative for content of comments, but the community hosting instance is authoritative for which comments are approved (other instances respect such removals by default)

Somebody should consider building a fork that works of bluesky’s content addressing scheme, that way communities can effectively be re-homed in full even if the server dies

Lemmy stores your posts and replies on both your host server and on the server of the community.

One interesting behavior to note here that is different from reddit is that while comments on reddit belong to the profile of the person commenting and is then imported to view in the subreddit (this is why you can edit comments after being banned, and why there visible in your profile even if removed from a subreddit), on lemmy the target community is instead authoritative and your host server will by default respect a deletion by community mods on different servers by also removing that comment from your profile.

I’m not taking the fall!

CF has multiple options, you can use them as just a load balancer/firewall while handling your own TLS cert. I think most let them hold the cert so they can get CF caching services though

Robots can definitely flip burgers.

Some can even do it twice!

Exclusively using Discord as a support channel should get you banned from the internet

An application password, basically

And biased towards replicating the existing history of arrests and convictions it is trained on

Clients should convert automatically (unless the user doesn’t want it to)

There’s a reason why home battery storage systems needs to be connected to the breaker panel. You route power through it. When the batteries aren’t needed then it’s just a dumb relay for grid power. When you’re drawing power from batteries it disconnects the grid.

Only a few industries ever draw power both from grid and local power sources at once (during peak load) and they route all the power sources through a power distribution system which prevents backfeeding.

I have a frozen license with them which they’ll reactivate once I give them the receipt information they didn’t send me when I bought it from them…
