Some acronyms you might see.

• PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
• YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
• BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
• CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.

I also privated some communities and they renamed them to some random characters instead.

I don’t know, but here’s a list of instances https://joinpeertube.org/instances

Still not that great, I rely on the companion to redirect me to channels through YouTube.

Everyone should check out PeerTube sometime, the UX has improved a lot and there’s a decent amount of content too. I recommend installing the PeerTube Companion app. It shows a popup on YouTube if you’ve clicked on a video that is also available on PeerTube.

Breaking change: Due to the security reason, the “Console” feature is now disabled by default. If you need this feature and understand the risk, you can enable it via the environment variable DOCKGE_ENABLE_CONSOLE=true.

Good that they made a decision, the old security features restricting which commands you could run were awful and could be bypassed by accident. You could run ALLOWED_COMMAMD; RESTRICTED_COMMAND and it would just do it.

I actually think somebody is trying to split up lemmy.

I doubt it

For other people who didn’t know what Haaretz was:

Haaretz (Hebrew: הָאָרֶץ, lit. ‘The Land [of Israel]’; originally Ḥadshot Haaretz – Hebrew: חַדְשׁוֹת הָאָרֶץ, IPA: [χadˈʃot haˈʔaʁets], lit. ‘News of the Land [of Israel]’) is an Israeli newspaper. It was founded in 1918, making it the longest running newspaper currently in print in Israel. The paper is published in Hebrew and English in the Berliner format, and is also available online. In North America, it is published as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. Haaretz is Israel’s newspaper of record. It is known for its left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues.

As of 2022, Haaretz has the third-largest circulation in Israel. It is widely read by international observers, especially in its English edition, and discussed in the international press. According to the Center for Research Libraries, among Israel’s daily newspapers, “Haaretz is considered the most influential and respected for both its news coverage and its commentary.”

I fixed DNS

(My DNS queries were blocked by my ISP’s modem, I flashed OpenWRT on an old WiFi Repeater, and set up a DoH proxy)

A machine learning model that can generate text.

It works by converting pieces of text to “tokens” which are mapped to numbers in a way that reflects their association with other pieces of text. The model is fed input tokens and predicts tokens based on that, which are then converted to text.

…neural networks, a relatively recent innovation in the field of computer intelligence.

Neural networks have been around for quite some time. The simplest forms of it have actually existed since around 1795.

With the prevalence of adblockers on here, Patreon seems like a better option than the little money he would get from 1 view on YouTube.

Yes, the default server is indeed closed source. Most clients aren’t.

I’m looking forward to the time Forgejo starts supporting Forgefed

Thanks for the advice. I also use a cheap domain with a wildcard, but use nginx instead. I just tried using Adguard and although it’s fascinating to see the insights of all the DNS requests, it didn’t really help fix the issue. However, since using DoH with Cloudflare in combination with setting it to the specific IP instead of my local device name and have 100% uptime now (since the last 10 minutes that is).

I’m using a public DNS record that points to a local device.

*.example.org → example.org
example.org → device_name.lan
