Hmmh. Why ActivityPub? I mean I suppose it's alright as a standard for some turn based or slow trading game. But it's neither very efficient nor suited for realtime. And having long (and descriptive) JSON messages, queues, ... is baked in per design.

And it's not even interesting to a Mastodon user if player x sold y latinum to player z. So for lots of game logic we don't need messages in a common format that's federated to Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube etc.

I think a nice and not too complicated coding challenge would be to design a world that spans multiple servers. Players could roam a world, go through some door or portal and the client seamlessly connects to the next server. So that part of the world (the other server instance) is behind that portal. That'd make sense from an in-game perspective and won't be that hard to implement. Basically it's just like any other game, just that the client auto-connects to servers with some internal logic and not just in the start menu. And ideally authentication would be federated. The new server could ask the player's home instance to authenticate them on entering the new instance.

These days you really better pay attention what you're buying and what kind of ecosystem you're buying into.

I get why they check if it's children with accounts they're not supposed to have... I once saw a documentary about VR. And there are lots of adults enjoying adult content. Mingling in virtual bars and clubs and doing adult stuff. I'm not sure if VRChat etc are available on the Meta devices... But it's not great that children are in those virtual areas. Not for them and not for the other people who want to do their thing. So I get why they're cracking down on this and forcing people to use the correct account.

However, requiring phone numbers, ID and credit cards is ridiculous. And lots of services do it. Google also restricted my account (for claimed suspicious activity) and now they want my ID. And I refuse to provide it.

Weiß nicht wie weit die damit grad so sind... Aber generell war das UK uns schon länger ein ganzes Stück voraus mit der Überwachung der Bürger. Auch sowas wie Anzahl der Kameras die überall aufnehmen, Porno und Internetfilter... you name it...

Alternativer DNS Provider: https://www.opennic.org/

Nutze ich schon länger, da Vodafone auch schon länger DNS Sperren eingerichtet hat. So seit 2019(?)

Ein paar Seiten zum Testen:

Wobei ich das auch asozial finde jedem eine App für jeden Pups aufzudrängen und einen separaten Login und Postfach für jedes Bankkonto, Versicherung, Krankenversicherung und Strom-, Gas-, Internetvertrag und man alle paar Tage eine Mail bekommt dass irgendwo ein Dokument in irgendeinem Postfach abgerufen werden muss. Mit einem Briefkasten war das mal einfacher. Und ich wundere mich z.B. wie alte Menschen am Leben teilnehmen. Oder Leute ohne Datenkraken ihre Freizeitbeschäftigungen buchen.

Well, the money wasn't "seized" and having jewish members doen't necessarily have anything to do with the business decision. It could, but we don't know. Could also be the case this protest group filed the wrong paperwork / chose the wrong legal status for their organization and just breached contract. Also a single bank (despite being publicly owned) isn't Germany.

So the words "Germany" and "Seizing" are wrong. "Jews" is speculation. I'm fine with the words "Is" "Money," "again".

I think this is the issue here. OP is mixing content copyright with the GDPR. But the GDPR regulates personal data, not copyright on text. And that's what Reddit is trying to sell, the content of posts, not their user's personal data... So the GDPR doesn't apply to that. Hence Reddit say they aren't violating anything, because the copyright is in the ToS.

I think that's also my issue with the original letter. It wants to sound official and legalese, but it confuses several things. Intellectual property, copyright and privacy /data protection laws. I don't think the author(s) understand the GDPR. It includes a definition what personal data is. And the letter is mostly talking about something unrelated. Also there are additional requirements. For example identifiability. And they also fail to address any of that... I also don't like some of the things Reddit does, but I think this is just not a well reasoned argument. If I were in customer support or a lawyer, I'd brush it off, too.

And I would agree. I've been using Debian on my VPS with docker-compose etc for years. Would recommend it, too. And it's pretty similar to what you have now. There isn't much needed to swich around or learn.

And it is the textbook example of a successful, community driven distro.

I think that is a good question to write something positive about SystemD.

I start my services with SystemD. I also moved my containers and docker-compose stack to be started by systemd. And it does mounting and bind-mounts, too. So I removed things from /etc/fstab and instead created unit files for systemd to mount the network mounts. And then you can edit the service file that starts the docker-container and say it relies on the mount. SystemD will figure it out and start them in the correct order, wait until the network and the mounts are there.

You have to put some effort in but it's not that hard. And for me it's turned out to be pretty reliable and low maintenance.

And it's how federation is supposed to work. Either you want to send your content to other instances or you don't. But federation is the wrong tool if you want to stay alone. You can defederate and block them if you don't like their terms.

YT-DLP always works great for YouTube and some other sites. There are also a few browser extensions around, called similar to Video Download Helper. But don't install the super fishy ones, I don't know which of them are good.
