Gotcha... as long as you understand that any device that receives that traffic can see exactly what's in it! (no sarcasm intended at all... if you're informed of the risk and OK with it, then all is well!)

I run a Nextcloud instance on my Unraid server.

Just curious... How is your mini pc less dedicated?

Thank you for clarifying this. I'm going to post this information over on that thread just for visibility. Thanks again!

If this is true, what is the admin of the reporting user even supposed to do? Surely I'm not expected (or even able?) to go Bigfoot on somebody else's community because one of my users reported some content over there. I feel like I must be missing something.

Not a car expert, just a guy that learns how to do something when it needs to be done...

I don't know how relevant the "why" is... you've got a leak, and the easiest first step is to inspect to see if you can figure out where the leak is originating from. If you can figure it out, then fix that. If not, the next easiest might be to just replace the coolant lines. If it's still leaking after that, it could be either the radiator or a gasket.

Good luck!

The good news is you DON'T need to wish harm on him in order to think he sucks and needs to go away. Yes, he sucks, but that's irrelevant to his health. Celebrating the declining health of somebody because we don't like them is a big line to cross on the path to becoming a callous ghoul. We need to be better than that.

If I'm being honest, I've never even looked to see what language most of the stuff I run is written in. Out of 16 apps that I'm running, only 3 are accessible from outside my LAN. Those three are high-profile open source projects that are actively maintained. That's enough for me to be comfortable security-wise in my environment.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean by "If the viewer watches the ad, the ad buyer does not receive a return on investment." Doesn't the ad buyer want the viewer to watch the ad?

In any case, my comment was in the context of the OP, which is specifically concerned about the creator making money. If you care about the creator making money (and you should), then you have to either watch ads or pay them directly (via patreon, e.g.).

I have to admit that I have a sore spot for this subject. I believe (at least in America) that people are far too comfortable with the idea that we should be able to consume art for free. Obviously paying less is better than paying more from a personal finance perspective (and paying nothing is best!). However, it's quite clear that the distribution platforms are more interested in making a profit than they are in compensating creators fairly (some are better than others, of course). If the distribution platforms are stiffing the creators, and the consumers are paying little or nothing, then it's the creator left with the short end of the stick.

Generally speaking, creators just want their creations to be seen/heard because they care MOST about the art, not the money. Unfortunately, this often leaves them making less than they deserve for the value they create. Who benefits from this price/value disparity? The distribution platforms. I think if most people thought about this arrangement for a little bit, they would probably prefer that the creator gets more money and the distribution platforms get less.

However, I don't think that's the whole story. Distribution platforms need to make some money to cover the expenses of running the platform. I think it's entirely likely that the cost paid (via ad impressions) doesn't actually cover the TOTAL expense of paying the distribution platform overhead AS WELL AS fairly compensating the creator.

All that is to say, when you think about art in a producer/consumer context, it makes the most economic sense for the consumer to pay the producer. This circles back to my original premise: people are far too comfortable with the idea that we should be able to consume art for free. If we could get ourselves into the mindset that art is valuable and therefore should cost some money, I think we'd have a much more vibrant art culture.

I think I have this figured out. See my post on it here: https://tkohhh.social/post/4829
