I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.

The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter)

It’s really impressive and frightening how good her impressions are lol

Yeah I did realize that LemmyAutomod’s tools are admin specific. I’m also interested to see how effective fedi-safety is. It has a dry run option so I’ll be able to review things and delete them myself. Thank you as well for everything you’ve done for this instance!

サメビーム！

Advent felt like they debuted yesterday. I’m surprised they’re pumping out another batch so soon.

Any of Satoshi Kon’s works (Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, etc). IMO, he’s one of the few animation directors who really takes advantage of everything animation has to offer.

This Lemmy instance is much harder to maintain due to the fact that I can’t tell what images get uploaded here, which means anyone can use this as a free image host for illegal shit, and the fact that there’s no user list that I can easily see. Moderation tools are nonexistent on here.

0.19.4 provides a way to see uploaded images (although not the best) but this version was only recently released so I can see where the frustration is coming from especially since the CSAM attacks happened nearly a year ago. At the time, I had to make a copy of pictrs, view everything on a file manager, and manually remove those images. People can still upload images without anyone seeing it however.

It also eats up storage like crazy due to the fact that it rapidly caches images from scraped URLs and the few remaining instances that we still federate with.

This was fixed in 0.19.3 (released 7 months ago) where you can disable image “caching”. This has solved storage costs for us together with pictrs’ image processing.

plug in an expensive AI image checker to scan for illegal imagery

It’s unfortunate that we need this. Not everybody has the resources to run fedisafety nor does everyone live in USA where they can use Cloudflare’s CSAM scanner. I think a good way to deal with the issue is to have images that are not public, not be stored (or have no private images at all). This way images can be easily reported.

Overall, I understand the frustration and to some degree I also feel the same but I also limit my expectations considering the nature of the project.

I don’t know yet tbh 😞. A lot of my peers are into advertising. But I still have about 2 more years to figure what I want to do.

Thanks! Communications

Sorry. This one is actually my fault. I was using lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner to remove “thumbnails” prior to v0.19.3 (the version that gave the option to disable Lemmy from making a copy of every picture that federates over).

I felt it was necessary to remove those because it used up a lot of storage space and there might have been files there that I haven’t been able to clean out (such as images that copied over from several CSAM attacks in the past).

Everything seemed to be fine until I noticed some recent local images were being removed. Thankfully, it did not remove any older local image. I can restore some of these manually but it will take some time. Everything should be fine now though and any new image shouldn’t be removed.

Is this related to disabling iframes? https://ani.social/post/2612139?scrollToComments=true

It’s not related to disabling iframes. For disabling iframes, I just added a CSP header to disable iframes from other websites except YouTube and Vimeo (I can’t think of a better way to fix this TBH). This should prevent weird behavior from other websites downloading files now.

edit: I am going to make a post about all of this and a lot of other info as part of “June 2024 notice” but I’m a bit busy with school right now and other personal matters.

That does seem to be the case. I tried on another 0.19.4 instance and clicking the community dropdown removes everything (title, link, and body).

edit: Forgot to mention that someone made an issue already: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2537

I just read the first 20+ chapters and it’s so cute! It’s funny they seem to both be oblivious about each other’s feelings (romcom trope I guess) but it’s so cute. Definitely watching this when it airs next month.

I use dex and picom now. Every few months I learn something new about running i3wm with no DE.

moshimoshibe’s style is incredible

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have a look again today. I made changes when we migrated so that might be the cause.

edit: It looks like this is an issue in 0.19.4 for servers that disable external image cache. lemmy.cafe (0.19.4) has this issue but mander.xyz (0.19.3) does not. I’ll see what I can do.

editedit: HOPEFULLY its fixed now(?) I disabled iframes. Lemmy is weird. Sometimes it wants to load the iframe. Sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t really understand what’s going on to be honest.

I haven’t tried it yet but I would rather dual boot for games with anti-cheat that don’t work with Wine or a VM.

It really is bad compared to KVM. Though for my usecase of pandoc+vim, running Debian with VMware does the job. Browsing the web, watching videos, and listening to music are okay too. It’s very bad for GPU accelerated stuff though which is what the Windows host is for.

I want to dual boot again but I’m still working on this project on one of my SSDs so I don’t want to touch anything yet.

Been using Debian stable again this year, but this time in a VM (Windows host. I know, I know.)

I’m very happy with it. I tried other distros but kept coming back to Debian.

there’s lemmy.funami.tech iirc
