go on, show us the threatening email

@ReverseModule @linux the main feature of Bandcamp is that you can sell music. Selling anything from your own website requires a lot of red tape. That's why these websites exist to get economies of scale on the red tape.

@Tekchip @AndrewZen And the protocol is a million times more complicated and doesn't always work reliably and requires a lot more server resources.

@RagingNerdoholic @BraBraBra because what they are looking at to determine profitability isn't actual profitability. They have certain metrics and they are making those metrics as high as possible. One might be, for example, ads served per page view.

@AtomicPurple @db0 Now that /r/piracy is officially endorsed by Reddit staff I reckon they should allow direct links to copyright-infringing content. Disney's lawyers would get a good payout from Reddit.

@hiddengoat @original_reader @walden "I'm too fucking lazy to spend less time making something that also takes less time for my consumers to consume and uses less bandwidth and is more accessible to deaf and blind people"

@mfat @linux "We" means Ubuntu. I can still do this.

do you understand what port forwarding is for?

edit: basically, one of two ends of a connection has to have port forwarding, or else the connection can't happen at all.

@mrbubblesort @gsa32 no, but they'd have to answer with whatever they do have, which is your email address and IP addresses

@igalmarino @privacy it won't erode encryption worldwide - any more than China did. They'll just pull out of the UK

@saplyng @OsrsNeedsF2P It's just Oracle trying to get more Oracle customers as usual.

@Harry_h0udini @privacy a guess: only in the same way every other app does - they ALL buy ads from these ad providers, which ALL track the contexts where their ads appear and link them to your profile and then serve ads related to your profile

@TCB13 @linux Everything is systemd in the future. This has nothing to do with systemd. It could as well have been called targetdiskd.

@starstough @LoafyLemon @alfagun74 this naming thing reminds me again of DeepCreamPy, which was a version of Deep Dream (written in Python) that fills in gaps in hentai

@online @selfhosted I have to say this is the first time I've ever seen anyone ask this

@LoFi-Enchilada @dopethrone @stroller If they stop and leave Reddit, Reddit Inc loses. If they continue using it normally, well they can't because mods will delete their post. If Reddit Inc replaces the mods, it still loses because who will those mods be? Probably power-hungry Nazis. It may look good in the short term because there are mods but Reddit Inc will lose in the medium-to-long term.

@Blamemeta It's pretty privileged to NOT worry about Nazis. In your understanding, what do you think a Nazi is?

@zaknenou @privacy it usually uses Diffie-Hellman key exchange which generates a shared key without revealing it to anyone. There are other ways to do it too.

@Blamemeta @TwilightVulpine when the nazis roll into your town on your newly constructred roads you'll wish you worried

@TrinityTek@lemmy.world @selfhosted@lemmy.world Everything on your server has a URL, like https://your.server.name.example/.... Unless you want all the official public URLs to everything on your server to have a port number in them (https://your.server.name.example:1234/TrinityTek) you probably want to figure this out before deploying anything.

I suggest using vhosts. You can for example run Lemmy on port 8001 and Mastodon on port 8002 (both should be bound to 127.0.0.1 without HTTPS). Then you get two domain names pointing at the same server. Then you install nginx on your server, as your actual web server, and you configure it so requests for lemmy.trinitytek.com gets proxied to lemmy and mastodon.trinitytek.com gets proxied to mastodon
