In-reply-to » So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? 🤔

It is an IPO. :-D I find more value in Reddit than Facebook. Granted, Meta is more than Facebook now a days. I am not buying any, but I wish them (Reddit Inc.), and their investors, well.

In-reply-to » if you are not in a "central country" you are screwed. I thought it would be a good idea to promote a LiberaPay page to build some patronage to my free/open projects, but in Brazil LiberaPay can only handle PayPal and it integrates poorly, it doesn't accept Reais! If you try a direct PayPal donation button it works much better: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hostedbuttonid=5B4MZ78C9J724 ... this is so frustrating.

@bender These are not beinged pull via ActivityPub. I disabled the integration long ago myself on my pod. There is a Mastodon instance or two out there that serves up Twtxt feeds. Someone my pod has subscribed to those, I think that’s what’s happening here…

@prologic I don’t know what the fix will be. Ideally, since it doesn’t work for bidirectional communication, get rid of the Fediverse integration? Would that stop those posts from showing up?

@bender I also use the Discover tab and I do wish I could mute some of them that only post in Portugese. I just didn’t know they were on Mastodon.

@mckinley you can’t even block/mute them. For those, like me, that use the “Discover” to see what’s up, that is a little bit problematic. I live with it, though. :-)

Ah, the Ciberlandia people are on a Mastodon bridge. I thought we got rid of that.

@bender My point precisely 🤣 ZFS is ZFS no matter what Branded OS runs it 🤣

@prologic meh, in my opinion you don’t buy into a Lexus because of it’s superb craftsmanship, engine, and technologies, as engines have been pretty rock solid in other car manufacturers (Kias, Hundais, etc.) for decades now. There is no reason to pick a Lexus specifically over a Kia, both running with engines that burn fossil fuel, as a way of transportation.

LOL. :-D

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net meh in my opinion you don’t buy into the things that TrueNAS deploys, namely ZFS because of BSD. ZOL or ZFS on Linux is and has been pretty rock solid for decades now. There’s no reason for BSD specifically over Linux for a highly available and fault tolerant file system at TB or PB scale.

In-reply-to » @lyse The sad thing here is that I've now banned and blocked Youtube at the network over here. I need a way to solve for "when someone links me to a Youtube clip" or "how do I fix X" Youtube tutorial videos. Those are the only two use-cases I can't easily find a good solution for. The addition however is gone, since now I just sync the family's (Kids, Wife, me) favourite Youtubers (channels) to my local Plex archive.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Goos point 👍
