Baen library was one of the first back when amazon first started. They still do. You can even get free books. All books free or paid are drm free.

Ive read about 5ish of the books. Its very much a power fantasy. If you like that, its fun. If you dont, its not the greatest.

Theres a reddit community for that. Litterally [email protected]

They are talented. That whole channel is really awesome.

Thanks! I personally think as long as people land in the fediverse, its going to be ok. But its cool to give some highlights to piefed.

Also congrats on making a “controversial” post! Thats how you know its good :D

Yeah I agree, its all the same TBH.

Because it would address what you talk about above. You dont like it, fix it. Ive done it on quite a few fedi services, its not terribly hard. It makes the world just a tiny bit better.

I have no idea. It was instant for me. But on lemmy.world the thumbnail is not showing up.

Actually it looks more and more like a bug on their system. All the videos dont have thumbnails but ONLY on lemmy.world. That I can see anyways.

Yeah im trying out every other fedi platform. Seems like they either pull directly from youtube to get the thumbnail OR they just use the embed on youtube. Lemmy is the one (from what I can tell) that has an issue with this.

Does lemmy not pull the image or something? This is what I see on piefed:

And on Mastodon.social:

Is lemmy the only one that does not auto-pull the thumbnail?

https://100r.co/site/uxn.html is a fun one :D

It can run on just about anything.

The best OS I cant wrap my head around.

Create a PR and fix it.

It took 2 days for a PR to go though on piefed. It was a great experience.

Reading the code is VERY easy, even compared to other projects. I was able to get it up and running in about 30 mins with very little knowledge of the project. The “filters” are all optional on the admin side and instances can and have modified them to suit their needs.

Congrats @[email protected] ! Your project has gained “controversy”, the main way you can tell its getting successful 😁.

Nice. Its a fun one.

I dont understand. The video pops up with a thumbnail on piefed. Did it not on lemmy or something?

is /e/ OS also safe?

I just have a firewall and call it a day. No more extra services, no extra money, and as long as 80/443 are good externally and a couple of others im good. Its a small server, I dont even have ssh open outside the network.

One of the tools, which was built by Paragon, an Israeli technology company, lets people take control of phones or remotely hack into them to read messages or track locations. The others were built by Penlink, a Nebraska-based software company. They use social media data scraped from the web and information from data brokers to help build dossiers of anyone with a social media account.

ICE’s use of facial recognition software was documented in videos and photos from local activist groups in Minnesota this month and reviewed by The Times. Two photos captured fatigue-clad agents using cellphones to scan the faces of protesters in Minneapolis, while in one video, agents could be heard telling people that they were being recorded with facial recognition technology and that their faces would be added to a database.

I dont like my ISP but it does let me use whatever ports I want for self hosting. Comcast does not without extra fees and even then its very expensive.
