randomly came across these, so yeah.

They have for public benefit program where they give out their paid security tiers for free? If you can get recommended into it. Build a lot of goodwill there for non-profits community.

I once left a torrent on for ~three years at 50%, obviously no one seeded that anymore. one day i realised it was completed, and i have no idea when. now i only streamed my high sea amusements, i don’t even have a torrent client on anymore, but i like to think that the three copies seeded from mine (based on uploaded data) is still out there somewhere.

DDNS

Before social media back in the 2000’s i know quite a few personal site using home servers using them. And (google google) apparently these days cloudflare offers the service.

maybe this problem is more than it really is, maybe youtube really really needs eyes on ads.

Louis Rossman said in one of his video that at his views level it would cost him ~10k a year to host outside of youtube.

There is a sub on reddit where for ~6 months 95% of the content was me, bunch of links staggered weekly. Then suddenly it picked up steam because somewhere off-reddit someone found it and dragged a whole bunch people along.

But if i hadn’t been posting, then that wouldn’t have happened.

My parents had the power cord in locked box, so you need a key to turn the computer on, which only they have.
Me and all my siblings learnt to pick lock.

r/darknetplan. decentralised ad-hoc network, basically. only…what do you run on an ad-hoc network? all the services require connection to internet.

meshnet+fediverse is not something that have been combined yet.

old.reddit to browse NSFW pages.

Megathreads of links are so web 1.0. You’d be crying in joy if you found curated five hundred links in a geocities page. Masterlist of five thousand? swoon

Users scattered all over different instances? You sign visitor logs everywhere with your email and sites and basic description so people can find you. Especially if you’re on personal servers, and usually you host other people you invite to share the space.

Communities? Groups? No, no, webrings.

Yeah, i found that. As it is pretty clear that official support for tagging is not there, causing mayhem here looks like the better idea.

Tagging. Flair. Hashtags. Some kind of meta information.

Even in reddit posts can have flair. Lemmy have come to the edge of not having a filtering system, and need one asap. community specific tags or lemmy-wide tags or organic loose tagging, something is needed.

Wasn’t there an insane internal politics war going on at microsoft at that time? desktop and tablet/phone teams were sabotaging each other.

I hate that i understand…reasons. Despite that we all have…reasons.

In ten years some kids in a discord round robin gonna ask why the fake social media in fanfiction are little blue birds. Wait they used to be real??

The last r/place, the one before this, my sub coordinated with at least half a dozen other subs - borders, overlaying images etc, basically collectively defending a few sub’s patch of images. At least a few hundred people collectively constantly reworking and defending from takeover, it was hectic.

subs would have pinned coordinating post, we’d cross comment in bordering image’s subs, a few users who were relaying messages back and forth to discord servers - massively coordinated effort even for small areas and extremely satisfying making it to the end.

You are the one posting here, dude.

Yup, getting the original plain basic gold feels really special, and the many, many awards that is used later does not capture the oooomph value.

He resets on No Effort November. Good for him, would hate to see burnout.
