Its very ingrained on me that a proper business should be able to spare a few on a domain for themselves, as I remember it before the dot-com bubble.

Now? Websites have been displaced by social media altogether and many small business simply prefer having an Instagram profile, for example.

Yeah, that’s what happens, something cool but that’s it. It would be nice if l could use it for something else other than a glorified online resume.

I also bought a cheap domain for experimenting around, so that’s where all my “not so professional” stuff goes.

It should be perfectly doable. The only difference is that the server in on the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.101) instead of localhost (127.0.0.1). You might need to configure your OS firewall to let traffic through.

It would be great if big trackers started encouraging use of I2P as an alternative.

There are many ways to solve this problem, with different degrees of acceptance: legally (arguing for personal freedom granted by basic laws, depends on jurisdiction), or technologically (tools to evade or deceive censorship techniques, could require technical knowledge for proper use).

We have the tools, but legal grounds can also play a greater role (e.g. declaring vpn/tor illegal causes a chilling effect for potential beneficiaries).

If we’re being really pedantic, the last part in Korean is counted with different units:

• 각 as precomposed character: 1자 (unit ja for CJK characters)
• 각 (ㄱㅏㄱ) as decomposable components: 3자모 (unit jamo for Hangul components)

So we could have separate implementations of length() where we count such cases with different criteria… But I wouldn’t expect non-speakers of Korean know all of this.

Plus, what about Chinese characters? Are we supposed to count 人 as one but 仁 as one (character) or two (radicals)? It gets only more complicated.

Sixteen times the details

What about Yunohost? Its made for newbies getting into selfhosting and has Jitsi support.

I’d rather have a text-only instance with no media at all. Can this be done?

Does that disable image saving and processing for one’s instance?

Is that even possible now? When I attempted buying a domain for 10 years, it showed me the numbers as if I had renewed the domain 9 times instead of 10 times the purchasing price.

I heard .org domains were preferred to avoid these kind of price hikes, how true is this?

Sometimes you need to see its contents (e.g. store listing prices only on IG) and don’t want to make a Meta account for obvious reasons. Plus it skips all the tracking bs.

I hope they don’t get shut down like Bibliogram. I hate having to login (on top of having an account to start with) to see a link I was sent.

It’s nice to have an ideal and wanting to contribute. Dealing with constant abuse and threat to your physical safety, mental health, financial and legal liability, etc., is not what everyone has in mind at start.

And this goes to Lemmy instance admins too. It’s not supposed to be anonymous, but the federated nature makes spreading content with malicious intent very easy.

Tragedy of the Commons.

It gets even funnier when the other person can’t even distinguish between a phone call and a whatsapp voice call.

Me: I can’t answer WA calls, I will call you back.

Person: What???

Talk to anyone in latin america, you must use whatsapp. There’s no avoiding it. Some have tried Telegram a while ago, but most have reverted back to their usual whatsapp or facebook messenger. It’s crazy.

I remember trying to setup matrix bridges using these exact repositories a while ago!

So if this company does the dirty job behind like server management and brings it nicely packaged as product, I’m fine with this. I’m tired of having to install more than 2-3 apps (lots of families abroad) just to communicate.

Not everyone here uses the actual dual slot. Some are single sim model variants advertised as dual sim, or one of the slotz have their imei on a blacklist.

So I would have to contact one of those providers if I wanted to keep using my current phone numbers, then?

I was thinking about preserving my phone numbers and all that. From what I’m reading, all it takes is a voip provider routing calls directly instead of my own equipment?

Perhaps you had another partition with an operating system on the same disk, which prevented full disk encryption? If installing on an empty disk, most distros offer full disk encryption by default.
