DOWN TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN!!!

Can you clarify the pinned mod’s question, and the questions related to porn hoarding in other comment? Also, visual UI element bloat is making many people unhappy.

I seemed to have mixed binding and VPN provider credibility in a hurry. Sorry for that. So, port forwarding gets you more seeds/peers during torrenting, and lacking that affects torrenting.

Not sure, I have data hoarded so many things which I can stick to, combined with Russian pirate portals and good ol VirusTotal and KVRT offline scans. Usenet is way down the consideration list.

I was asked this. Please discuss it swiftly.

I’m confused. Help me out lemmy users/runners. It says “No Porn” on the homepage. But during sign up there’s a tickbox to “Show NSFW content” ?
So…only non-porn NSFW content is allowed?
Would lemmy.ml consider audio “porn” as porn? Or merely NSFW?
Because if there are communities on reddit that I want to still have access to via RSS and json after the API change, it’d be r/gonewildaudio r/gonewildaudible r/audiosgonewild r/darksideplayground r/PillowTalkaudio r/KinkyPillowTalkAudio r/eroticliterature r/GWASapphic r/gwascriptguild r/GoneWildAudioGay r/sexystories As this is a FOSS project, I presume only the lemmy.ml instance doesn’t allow porn?
Is there a Q&A style lemmy instance finder that does allow porn a la https://instances.social/ ?
Because https://join-lemmy.org/instances is all I could find and that doesn’t seem helpful.
How do I find the most popular porn supported instance? Thanks.

This was a message sent to me. The point they were trying make besides this is regarding archival of porn content being considered as NSFW. Also I am seeing massive complaint about Lemmy UI being very visually bloated compared to old.reddit.com, which is putting off many users, reminding them of the new.reddit.com travesty.

I have provided all the possible evidence, being the most reasonable and fierce critic of GrapheneOS and its developer/community practices. This is all the evidence we have, and it should be enough. They are even vote manipulating this post on Lemmy, a platform where they do not even engage with people.

Mullvad has stopped providing port forwarding, which means torrenting can leak IP often enough to endanger users.

Edit: I made a minor mistake in a hurry, port forwarding affects torrenting in that you connect to less seeds/peers, although you could still bind it to your torrent client.

I am hurrying up as much as I can, and also being a Lemmy watchdog to see the instances popping up and user traffic. I will try getting them onboard.

Windows XP.

Being able to archive is the most important factor. My point is to hurry up and, if needed, deprioritise other things in life. This time, and internet in its current state, is never coming back. This is not a paranoid doomer brain, this is reality, and we are witnessing it right now in realtime.

Rely on r/datahoarder for now. Data hoarders and pirates are universally an uncompromised group of internet.

Imgur purge is actively happening. Safe to say we will be in that era soon enough, give or take 2 years optimistically. Being pessimistic, 1 year. To bring even more depression, during this year, in realtime right now, content is being purged at a rate where you will be lucky if you manage to salvage all that you need to.

We are in the most turbulent era of internet that we might ever see, before the AI age dawns upon us. Grab a couple 4 TB Seagate HDDs and save anything you need to. Movies, documentaries, songs, obscure YouTube videos, photo galleries, game ROMs, webpages, documents… anything. Ham that internet connection with whatever freerange VPN you can.

Images that will be purged slowly include any images uploaded by non registered users as well. May 15, 2023 was 2 weeks ago, so the TOS is in effect already. Enjoy the collapse.

No, if a user deletes their comment on Reddit, it is visible only to admins, not to mods. If a mod deletes a user’s comment, it is visible to mod and user, and even on that user’s account page. If an account is deleted, still all the data is retained by Reddit admins.

Figure out what exactly is better in Manjaro. It is better to be able to switch over to other distros and make yourself a bit more portable across distros. Not being a pushover, its just foundational advice. Manjaro has had so many weird incidents that it is good to do this exercise beforehand.

Do you not like playing CounterStrike with Lemmy apps? Disappointing.

There are only 4 left, with each having various degrees of issues.

• AirVPN: the only one with multiple ports for forwarding, but no logging policy is an issue
• IVPN: the strongest VPN option but with only 1 port for forwarding
• ProtonVPN: good option overall but no anonymous payment option
• Windscribe: good option but with limited port forwarding and an unfortunate incident in 2019 (no customer data was compromised though)

All I want to say is we have limited time as pirates unless an underground net is established that is not leech-y like private trackers are. Give or take, less than two years, being optimistic as a small scale data curator/hoarder.

Not using Google search for many years. Never really used Bing. I use a mix of search engines for various purposes. Startpage is a proxy of Google minus sponsored ads and relatively intrusive spying. Searx is a metasearch for multiple engines. Reddit is an information goldmine if you know where to look. Yandex and Baidu have a lot of interesting hidden results and are out of Western countries’ jurisdiction which is a huge positive. Then there are darknets with their search pockets and information.

Pedos, COVID, war et al is an excuse. After the recent raid, I believe that to avoid becoming a honeypot, they cut off the most risky source of activities - P2P torrenting. My basis of this claim are three things – torrent traffic is colossal, and torrents are mostly used for piracy (Mullvad evading DMCA issues) and ProtonVPN free tier does the exact same thing with banning P2P torrenting.

Wait till the upcoming Imgur purge recreates an ImageShack/TinyPic 2.0 situation.

Manjaro (Despite the hate, no other distro has worked as well for me)

EndeavourOS. Go ahead.

A very good answer.

Reddit and their admins are an absolute nightmare. In comparison, Lemmy has a transparent modlog, transparency in “deleted” comments, transparency in your data actually being purged when account is deleted, an incomparably better moderation squad, no third party or contracted spying (see domains in uBlock Origin), xenophobes and racists are actually taken action against, vote manipulation is more transparent, brigading of accounts and instances is taken care of… these are just obvious benefits.

Do you really think public platforms are private, and that Reddit is more private when ChatGPT, DataDome, Google et al scrape it?

It is.

Happy to see you find it being a high quality platform!

PrivacyGuides is one of the most harmful groups out there as far as their moderation goes. Its head Jonah (admin of lemmy.one instance created for PrivacyGuides) stole off $10000 ($17,500 in all) PrivacyTools.io donations and put it into his private account, they seized PTIO subreddit which is locked to this day, they made a malicious GrapheneOS figurehead Tommy a moderator immediately after he published a faux hitpiece on me (which trended on PG for a month), and they protect toxic GrapheneOS devs/mods fervently to promote Google and Apple (mods/heads all are American/Canadian nationalists).

You can find more here, and upon reading comments in here. He purposely evades and silences all criticism on reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/u_lo________________ol/comments/1314x2x/why_did_i_do_this/ji5l5uz?context=300

I have critiqued them for the past 2 years, and shared what I documented here few days ago. They are busy with vote manipulation on my posts shared both on c/privatelife and c/privacy. I am sure recently people know of GrapheneOS dev’s incident with Louis Rossmann.

Moreover, someone shared my critique writeup on their lemmy.one instance, where they removed my writeup immediately, have disabled downvoting (a form of evading criticisms), and have blocked/defederated Lemmygrad.ml instance as well, calling its users “liberals”. All in the span of one day.

Please avoid celebrating every entity recognising Lemmy, and focus on organic growth with welcoming good people, not malicious people like this who shelter more malicious trolls. Many PrivacyGuides members often call me “chinese commie”, that is how bad they can be towards people.

Using it in Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin is very speedy and stable. You will even forget most of the times you are in browser. Downsize text zoom and you have text density better than RiF.

NATO dudebros on suicide watch

I know the whole API access shenanigans and how around mid June and by July, they are just clamping down on everything. I have even voiced out concerns regarding the loss of Pushshift (btw I just want to say we do need some form of archival service for Lemmy too, which would make it singlehandedly the defacto Reddit replacement as no other “clone” considered or purposely avoided it as many clones are rightwing leaning). I did not read into Apollo dev’s exchange with Reddit, which confirms everything and explains the criticism that is exploding like a chain reaction.

Reddit is Fun users are saying they are getting a popup saying along the lines of 1/7 it’s all over. Before there is more panic, are we missing some details?

God forbid the US and Europe respond to an invasion of conquest on their front door.

Typical fascism trick is to flip reality and sell it to masses in order to attempt rage baiting a conflict to destroy peace. Ukraine and Taiwan with US puppet regimes are on Russia’s and China’s footsteps respectively.

I know creatures like you that valiantly defend NATO as a defensive organisation. Anglo regime days are numbered, and there will be no return ever again. Disconnect your internet if you want to have any hope.

I bet you love getting mugged outside Walmart and shootings in parking lots.

Open Office, LibreOffice et al just do not have the compatibility that need to exist with MS Office, so whenever you work with others, it falls apart. Ask any user collaborating with even 2-3 people, no matter job, university or school. Usage mostly goes in order of Word > Excel > PowerPoint > rest. I think a Windows XP VM is the best way to get around that while normally using Linux for everything else.

Everything else is a lot more specific use case. Professional users work usually alone with Photoshop. In case of CorelDraw and video editing software, there is a lot of to and fro. Those users generally either use Windows on separate SSD, or have separate production machines.

Hope Russian SMO continues for a year or two more, and non Anglosphere countries refuse to trade resources with Anglosphere. It might be enough to shake up the brains of these Europeans and bring their senses back, and ditch USA. NATO needs to collapse beyond recovery, and westerners need to stop being fascistic and abusive towards rest of the world.

Windows 11 is a self inflicted torture if you adopt it just because you may have upgrade FOMO issues. Windows 10 EOL is still 2½ years away. Run it to the ground till then. W11 might even be properly debotnetted and debloated by then, like how W10 got the treatment years after its 2016 launch. Every new version of Windows is a guinea pig testbed for the first few years.

Either way, Linux+Steam with MS Office 2007 in a Windows XP virtual machine can suffice almost all of your needs. The rest is very specific needs like Photoshop, CorelDraw, games that do not work under WINE/Proton or any specific Windows software.
