No better source than RT?

That’s depending on client. I’m using Thunder on Android, it shows it

This is the cross post, original OP is here https://lemmy.zip/post/68335876

If you don’t have strong consumer rights enforcement you have to do a lot of research in advance. Even then you can be hit by companies changing model later.

In B2B, if you’re in charge you need to negotiate in terms to be able to break the contract if the other side don’t deliver what they promised. If you’re just an employee, you can’t do much about your bosses making stupid decisions. They might have thought they would save money, or gotten kickbacks, and you’re stuck with the consequences.

And yes, dishonest people should be filtered out.

Not moving the goal posts because if the first proxy in the chain goes down then nobody can connect to your server, even if the rest of the servers are all up

Using cloudflare means you’re using them as a proxy. Cloudflare can be pressured with court orders

That proxy server is visible (that’s my whole point) and can be forced to take it down, and very few use Tor or I2P

Your computer always connects to something using an IP adress which is not hidden. That something can be a proxy or similar to hide another server, but there’s always a visible server.

Tldr all the site data has an offline copy that can be restored from scratch on endless numbers of types of servers.

They don’t really hide most of the servers. They simply put them in places where enforcement is slow. Then when the server goes down it doesn’t point at anyone because it’s simply hired anonymously. And then they hire another server and put the data back up.

In theory you can recompile by translating the instructions, the problem is the game engine assumes things about the hardware that is no longer true when running on your computer, such as memory model and more. Patching this up makes it slow.

It’s Russia, if you’re not really high profile they don’t care

Wikis benefit more from the ability to mirror them and to link between them than they benefit from full federation. You need much better antispam on a popular wiki than in most other user content systems, and that’s not solvable with just blocklists like in many other federated systems. You need almost all antispam working server side, the user side fixes doesn’t work effectively.

It would be useful with atproto (bluesky) style portable identity where you could log into other wiki hosts from your own hosts user account to submit stuff (allowing you to maintain a single account in federation through OAuth logins, while still allowing each wiki to be centrally managed) with support for mirroring and native cross-linking between mutually trusting wiki hosts. You could replicate the Wikia/Stack Exchange user experience this way, without all the ads and without any central gatekeepers. (Very similar to stack exchange actually, as each individual Wiki would be read-only to you until you login to it separately (still using one a single account))

Things like content addressing could allow proper static links that survive page name changes for the cross-linking, etc.

There’s things built for entirely different reasons that can be used as a federated Wiki if you wish, like Fossil (a federated version control system with a Wiki)

https://www2.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

Note that Wiki federation has a whole bunch of potential issues if you try to allow automatic updates from arbitrary users. Wiki servers rely heavily on antispam measures which often require a lot of analysis of the user’s connection, data which often isn’t available over federation, so submissions by others have to be validated manually. Fossil being a version control system means it is more of a mirroring friendly Wiki than truly federated, but you can set it up so that mutually trusting mirrors can replicate each other’s validated commits/updates.

Depends on the federation model. For lemmy I assume things like comments aren’t pushed automatically (?) until the thread is opened, but in some models the instances pull all new content from at least the known accounts / spaces from known servers (I think regular Mastodon does that)

I’m not seeing any image attachments in case you added that.

Some brand of NVME SSDs are the only thing I’ve seen live driver issues on where the disk appeared invisible until drivers were installed, in one case the pre-installed Intel SSD drivers had to be disabled too because they were incorrectly taking priority.

Is it out mounted? Can gparted or equivalent tools see it? If it’s visible then for some reason it didn’t mount automatically. If you can’t see it, probably drivers.

Not a bad look IMHO, but yeah Ferraris tend to be distinct and this isn’t really

You can start with timed bans, so they get the point

Make coal go in the ground again

It could hypothetically help you direct your search by surfacing useful keywords or relevant events or names or something like it. But since they didn’t make it do that, it’s not really reliable for anything but an energy expensive way to remind yourself of things you already know (what was the command for X again)
