One would think he would eventually cancel himself.
I am on other instances. The problem is that they are, like it or not, the first impression that new users get of Lemmy and the rest of the federation.
beholden to their guidelines
I am all for that! They need to properly define those guidelines. While it is “their” instance, the intent is for it to be publicly accessible. Continuity with their own guidelines is kind of important to help this space grow as a public instance. I don’t care what those guidelines are, just make them consistent.
The instance is in Germany from what I understand. Regardless, their justification was that shrooms are illegal in most places. That being their main point sets up the contradiction that I am referring to. It casts a bit of doubt on the intent and how to interpret rule 1.
The admins don’t have to abide by their rules, but we do.
They can do that! As a matter of fact, I support compliance with local regulations.
The problem is, they aren’t. They are picking and choosing laws to follow. Their instance is located in Germany, but yet, their marijuana legalization laws are only in draft: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2023/07/10/germany-unveils-draft-bill-to-legalize-cannabis/?sh=5ed53b322726
They are using the justification that “some things are illegal in some countries” as grounds for community suspension, yet, they are picking and choosing.
It’s illegal to talk about piracy and shrooms? I can see posts getting deleted for directly trafficking in pirated stuff or if someone was trying to openly sell sketchy drugs.
Anything that is allowed on this site could be a target for legal action. Even their unverified access to porn is grounds for legal action in most places.
You need to look at the complete picture of the bias that is involved.
Which would prove my point. Lulz.
Hysterical spelling aside for a bit…
Deprogramming one cult with another seems counterproductive.
Shrooms are becoming decriminalized and even legalized across the US now. It’s a shame that the admins banned the community at all on lemmy.world. By their logic, they should also ban marijuana related communities. ItS sTiLl iLleGal!!!
Psilocybin is a very interesting and useful chemical and it is just stupid for it to be censored. What do those admins wish to accomplish? Shhhhhhh! Don’t talk about something that may help with mental disorders or even PTSD. Mushroom bad!
Of all the good things that lemmy.world admins do, this is ranks as one of the dumbest and short sighted.
I will probably start COShroomGrowers. It’s not illegal here and their argument becomes moot.
Old hardware is awesome to reuse most of the time but it’s not nearly as efficient as our hardware today.
It’s probably good to just properly recycle the old gear and spend $200 on a mini-PC from Amazon that has three times the power all while using less electricity.
I usually completely tear down old equipment into is raw materials, the best I can. It’s less likely to be shipped off to another country for uncontrolled destruction and I get more money back for the materials.
Huh. I don’t see any negatives with any of those words.
OpenSCAD has its uses, but would hardly classify it as full CAD software. Prusa, I believe, used OpenSCAD for a while but they even moved to Fusion360. FreeCAD would be great if the devs would stop trying to reinvent the wheel in their UI. There is a ton of potential, but it simply isn’t where it needs to be yet.
Fusion360 or SolidWorks are very well established in that space and their shitty license models reflect that.
Still, as a free alternative, FreeCAD is where it’s at. You just really need to understand if it will suit all of your needs and for me, it doesn’t.
They are just trying to emulate Google.
Edit in some Chinese subtitles and the shadow of a front row of people and you can make it really look like an authentic rip.
I will echo many others here: It’s going to be rough getting good deliveries. While you are planning on running a proxy, that is basically the same as running an open port where your server is. While it may seem to be a good idea to send email from a random AWS address, it really isn’t. Unless you are behind an IP that is specifically trusted as an email source, your traffic has a higher probability of getting dropped. (Many dynamic IP ranges for home internet connections are marked as invalid or untrusted sources, btw.)
Additionally, email servers are a hot commodity, especially if they are not blocked (yet) by the larger filter providers. All it takes is one or two reports or a poorly configured firewall/IDS to auto-trigger a submission of your IP address as “bad”. By hot commodity, I mean you are going to get fuck tons of vulnerability scans. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s super annoying.
If I was operating as a Jr. Security Analyst again and saw and sus traffic coming from your address, I would submit a block and not think twice about it. Hell, most of those types of blocks are automated anyway.
However, if you do set one up and all is golden, great! It’s worth the experience but something I won’t ever do again. (Yes I did run my own email server before.)

No, you can’t go all Dread Pirate Roberts and slowly build up an immunity to those over several years. Try as you might to impress that lady friend, it won’t work.
The Dread Pirate Roberts reference is from the movie Princess Bride.
Wesley spends years building up an immunity to a fictional substance called “iocaine powder”, the most deadly substance known to man. He tricks a foe into drinking wine laced with it, killing his foe while he survives.
