For me it’s very simple: NSFW can’t have a general acceptable definition because it depends on culture, background and personal beliefs. There is no way for a collection of communities to have a common definition and even if they would have: enforcement and interpretation is still done by volunteers.

Therefore All is never safe for work unless I know that my tolerance is lower than all communities within lemmy AND I’m fine with an accidental penis or breast due to human error.

Haha brainfart. Thought about lan domains…

Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as “info” - it’s actually historically correct to do so as it’s about what the host wants to communicate.

ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .internal (edited, brainfart)

That’s still like a hundred to one or even way worse. We can simply shove in (group reader doesn’t like) until they are so full that they can’t move any more and then pile on each individually and still have a few billion people preparing the lion BBQ for afterwards.

The numbers gap is ridiculously huge!

The brackets were implied by OP.

I.e. “one way: (be ignorant || approve)”.

I use lemmy in two ways: Whitelist: show me my subscriptions and only those (subscribed) Or blacklisted: show me everything else except the things I want to never see.

The latter lead me to this thread! It’s two different experiences for me and I get a bit out of my interest bubble from time to time.

I strongly disagree. The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim and this bot has zero transparency regarding its benchmark, database or other criteria. That combined with the fact that it’s usage (apparently exclusively) seems to be highly pushed is enough to stay sceptical.

Personally I just blocked it but I have full understanding for anyone downvoting it, simply to communicate “I disagree with the existence of this bot in this context”

Have you not read either the abstract (“calorie deficit not helping”) or my comment? (“input on the inefficiency of diets is useless to OP without any impulse on what to do instead”)?

I don’t understand of what you’re aiming for with your oneliners.

Whelp that’s not helpful on its own though to be honest. “long term lifestyle change” is the key word I am aware which is… Well at least I didn’t manage it so far. “just do X” is like telling an alcoholic to “just stop drinking, oh but you need a sip every other hour”.

You use the word “secret” quite generously but otherwise: yes. They deal in endorphines,playing the long game.

As your perception sounds quite negative I’ll try to change your view!

Instead of looking down on people fanatifally following a “celebrity”, take pity on them:

In short: their brain chemistry tricks them into thinking that they are following a friend and have the emotional reactions and interests as we’d hope our real friends do.

I find it really sad to be honest.

In case you don’t actively check back in the thread: there’s a white in depth answer now what gear the is and why the person answering “yes” is very likely wrong.

Worth a read!

The first link goes into amazing detail on that. In short: all your information concerning location as well as current IP and some other metadata gets send to a basically unknown company with no transparency on how that data is handled.

I highly recommend reading the first, linked post though!

My pricing experience is from Europe so that could be a different approach to their markets.

Good luck!

Sorry for that hazzle! My story is quite different but exactly the same: my father in law “didn’t get around” to do backups and lost his HDD full of important photos and documents.

That said: I’m quite sure that there are huge regional differences. Without knowing your country just keep that in kind.

I phoned around several companies. I had a simple first benchmark: either directly speak with a tech savvy person (big plus) or being forwarded to one.

That eliminated already half of them who had more business than tech.

The important thing to look out for in hindsight is their transport standards, i.e. how does the broken disk get to them and how does the rescued data get back?

Be careful of companies who have the potential to take the disk hostage (“we give a quote after first analysis”).

Paying per file rescued sounds weird to me because that’s not how the rescue process usually works from what I understand.

The company I went with was very upfront about the best and worst case what to expect, etc. They were very transparent about the risks and their process as well.

Nearly all of the critical data was rescued and delivered on an encrypted disk. The key was handed out after final payment - a process I quite liked.

In short: talk to the people and find a way to figure out whom you trust most.

But that’s not what OP asked / wanted to dicuss? The person you’re attacking simply answered the original question:

“would it be a danger to the whole of humanity or our evolutionary progress?”

While I think the data alignes with your observation and your interpretation of the risks are on point it deviates from the point the person you answered to.

Nah, too focused and not enough repetition and generalizations ;)

Main reason for answering: thanks!

linux printing server - if you want to share a printer over network or just use one locally on a linux machine.

(not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

Thanks for the clarification! A wish you an awesome start into the week :)
