.world hasn’t defederated from either of these two instances. They’ve blocked .world users from accessing those 3 communities from .world. You, as a .world user can still access any community across those 2 instances, aside from the 3 mentioned. Any users on those instances can still access .world communities.

Also, installation instructions that don’t assume you’re already an expert.

Ah, OK.

Yunohost installs a whole OS - Debian 11 - so you’d be essentially be flattening the drive.

100% with AdBlock and LocalCDN on LibreWolf.

I did once, but after the crypto thing, then the trying to sell rights to other people’s content, then finding out how awful Eich is, it’s a ‘no’.

That’s an absolute gut punch :(

I had no idea he was even ill. Fuck. On the off-chance a family member or friend stumbles across this thread, I’m very sorry for your loss.

Bathroom or Black Lodge?

Shit. Missed that, sorry.

Maybe give Seafile a try?

Open source, you can selfhost, has clients for Linux/Win/Mac and Android/iOS and best of all - encryption that actually works.

Gimmie some sugar baby.

I have Conky on my desktop and do a curl to a known page on my server to monitor if a web service is up every 60 seconds. If it’s down, I swap to a blinking animated gif as an icon and play an alert sound.

This is excellent news :) I’ve been using Alexandrite since u/sheodox announced it so I’m very pleased to see it added as a dedicated front end for .world :)

Yep, just go to ‘Settings’ under the Profile icon, top right.

Big fan of Gogs personally. Simple, light and a doddle to install.

Either that or an app that has been vetted by government stooges and given the thumbs up as its trivial for others to access the content on.

All the Apple users I know routinely use iMessage and WhatsApp.

I’m pretty sure that’s the end-game, yes. At least as far as communication based tools go, which would include chat apps, VPN’s, cloud storage etc etc. The ruling classes in the UK are very nanny-state and genuinely believe that a persons right to privacy comes a distant second to being able to rule over us and control us more effectively.

The issue for non-UK countries is that when world governments see that its possible to pass these sort of laws, they’ll be keen to do the same. And most people are not tech-savvy, they’ll have no real idea why it’s important or invasive. It’s difficult enough to get people to switch to Signal. Imagine trying to explain why breaking encryption is a bad thing for them.

Which would be fine except Starmer approves of all the things contained in the various bits of legislation.

Knowing this gvmt, they’ll try and prevent access at the ISP level. They’ve already started making noises about tackling ‘the menace of VPN’s’.
