FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?

They'll move to another platform

FalseMyrmidon , to News in Biden bans U.S. sales of Kaspersky software over Russia ties

Pretty far behind a lot of European countries on this

FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?

Yeah, I'm thinking of circa 2000 MP3s. 128k was the good stuff and lower was still common.

FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?

Conversely low res audio clearly sounds like trash.

FalseMyrmidon , to Technology in Android's new anti-theft features

Yep, no one claimed otherwise.

FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in Why are socialist and communist countries usually considered more authoritarian than capitalist countries?

"single party state"

FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in Advice on finding a partner?

"Be yourself" is terrible advice. What they really mean is "Be the best version of yourself that makes you a great friendly person that people want to hang out with". This might mean trying to change yourself to be whatever you think the coolest version of you is. This is fine because it's a form of self-improvement.

FalseMyrmidon , to Selfhosted in Should I or should I not use a VLAN? I have trouble understanding the benefits for home use

Yes, you create virtual nics tied to the physical one.

FalseMyrmidon , to Selfhosted in Should I or should I not use a VLAN? I have trouble understanding the benefits for home use

In larger networks VLANs let you do network segmentation across switches, which you can't really do otherwise.

I wouldn't bother at home.

FalseMyrmidon , to Selfhosted in What to be aware of before opening port 25 on a postfix Raspberry Pi?

Personally I'd probably go with MS hosted exchange or a Google business account. If you don't trust those entities I've heard good things about ProtonMail - I imagine they have some kind of business solution.

FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in Can't find any forums that allow for Tor posts

I've written a post that I'd like to distribute as anonymously as possible while still reaching a large audience

Sounds like spam.

Buy your own domain name and put it in front of someone else's service. This is going to be a ton of work to do correctly and you're unlikely to be able to host it out of your house.

Also, something you're running off a Raspberry Pi in your house is not going to meet most definitions of 'reliable'.

Many ISPs will also block inbound SMTP unless you have business account (and sometimes even then) because it's a common malware/spam vector.

If you insist on going through with this the key thing is to make sure that you're not an open relay.

FalseMyrmidon , to Selfhosted in What to be aware of before opening port 25 on a postfix Raspberry Pi?

100% agreed. It's well worth outsourcing to someone else for $10/mo versus the amount of work it takes to do it well unless you're a large business.

I'd make this argument for DNS too - a lot of work for how easy it is to pay someone else to handle it.

FalseMyrmidon , to Asklemmy in Early 2000's Machinimas... anything modern to scratch that nostalgic itch?

Machinima wasn't really a thing in the early 90s. Closest I can think of is Reboot but that started in 94 (what I'd call mid 90s...).
