Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR)

What services do you run on FreeBSD? Does using FreeBSD limit you in the number of apps you can have, as most of them target Linux?

Hiding read posts means they’re now lost (when you’re logged in) if you didn’t save the link somewhere. Can’t find it after a day and now you have to check it on incognito.

But if you don’t hide posts you’ve already read, you end up with the same posts on your feed.

it’s a very small nitpick though. having new posts load every time I visit lets me see a lot of new content, I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

I hope some app devs can put up a section for “read posts” locally so instances aren’t overwhelmed.

I hope you don’t mind some questions.

• what are the specs of the machine?
• average number of users?
• which one do you think is most resource intensive
• which one is time consuming to maintain/upgrade?

I am curious about selfhosting an instance for a community but am afraid federation will consume too much time/resource/money for a side project.

IPv6 usually have unique IP addresses (non-local) for every device in the network. does that mean it will malicious actors can target a device specifically inside a network?

man reads few comments on the internet.

man takes it literally.

it’s always either a hit or a miss. The player UI really needs to show if the instance you’re streaming from is online and working or not. Otherwise, you just keep waiting for the loading to complete, but it never does and you go the the preference to check and the instance isn’t up anymore. You change it back to another instance, go back to the player, check again and change instance again until it works. Then sometime later the same thing happens again.

Newpipe mostly always works and is good enough for me.

Redirector works perfectly on Android.

yes, I think they mean the same.

On lemmy, I didn’t realise it at first but I found out I could go to federated feed. So I usually check the federated feed and block out all the things that don’t interest me at all. Subscribed to ones that did. So my home feed is mostly full. If I ever go through all of my feed, I go back to federated feed to see what other communities that might interest me.

I also use voyager app so it’s been a great experience.

“Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Linux Torvalds?”

how many websites have you seen use it based on its meaning of marxist leninist versus how many have used tv for television?

lemmy and lemmygrad, can you name others?

I hate them for ccp/russia propaganda but this is straight up mental bubble made up by some edgelord with no rational argument.

Just because you want it to be so, doesn’t make it.

yes, all those subreddits have counterparts in any of the popular lemmy instances. However, neither of them are active as reddit yet and don’t cover everything, so you’d have to follow multiple ones here on lemmy. So the problem is multiplied on lemmy.

I can handle the blocking, that’s something I can control. what I can’t control is the same link being posted on multiple instances that just gets annoying to scroll through.

Recently Google announced Android 14, now all the technology, android, google related communities start posting the same link to the announcement along with the commentary by tech blogs and it repeats 10s of times in the feed.

I follow multiple tech subs across multiple instances for broader coverage but if the news is popular, it’s on every one of them.
