You’re not going to be able to do much self hosting with 1GB of ram.

Lemmy apps already have karma systems.

Lemmy started off over moderated and has only gotten worse. Moderation here is honestly worse than Reddit already, since we can see the ridiculous comment removals and bans and their reasons.

Why? Why would you remove a post that some people deem “low effort”? People can just ignore the posts if they think it’s low effort.

More censorship and gate keeping has never been an good option.

So it’s exactly the same moderation as Reddit and Lemmy then, complete with all the power hungry mod bullshit.

Ok so your original statement that I quoted is just 100% a lie lol. Off to a great start.

I see someone doesn’t understand what GitHub is lol

Instances cannot block a user

You’ll find very little support here then haha.

Did you check the server logs? Should be able to see pretty quickly what it was doing.

Plexamp also lets you stream it outside your network and share it with friends, no vpn etc needed.

I don’t know why so many people think you have to do one or the other, that you can’t host your own and use spotify.

No matter how much you might hate Spotify from an ideological point of view, you cannot deny its amazing music discovery ability.

I use Spotify as a way to find what to add to my collection, which I then stream using Plexamp when it makes more sense than just using Spotify - which isn’t very often tbh, only really when license issues prevent an album being in my country on Spotify. I can share my plex music library with friends and family though.

Why are the immich teams internal deployments available to anyone on the open web? If you go to one of their links, like they provide in the article, they have an invalid SSL certificate, which google rightly flags as being a security risk, warns you about it, and stops you from going there without manual intervention. This is standard behaviour and no-one should want google to stop doing this.

I was going to install linux on an old NUC to run immich some time soon, but think I might have to have a look to see if it has been audited by some legit security companies first. How do they not see this issue of their own doing?

That url isn’t base64 encoded. You can tell by the fact that it’s still a URL, and doesn’t decode……

It’s not exactly difficult if you use Tailscale or really any VPN. So I really don’t see the value for the cost;

Getting everyone that streams from your server to use tailscale or any other VPN every time they want to watch stuff from your server on any device they own is very difficult and basically a no-go. As someone that tried getting people who are using my plex server to use Tailscale so they could access my Overseer to request movies/shows, and basically no one would, it’s a deal breaker.
