  • The real hard part is it’s a partial truth.

    The sellers do pay the tariffs, they just don’t talk about what that does to the prices.

    The other problem is it cuts both ways, and a number of the idiots will say as long as you’re hurting them too, fine.

    And then we have retaliatory tariffs, which also cut both ways.

    IMHO, our biggest issue is we’ve been using cheap Chinese products and labor as a crutch instead of increasing wages. They’ve been able to cut down wages because Amazon, Temu and Shein have been providing products WAY WAY under marketable US made prices.






  • Non SSL behind your ingress proxy is acceptable professionally in most circumstances, assuming your network is properly segmented it’s not really a big deal.

    Self-signing and adding the CA is a bit of a pain in the ass and adds another unnecessary layer for failure in a home network.

    If it really grinds your gears you could issue yourself a real wild card cert from lets encrypt then at DNS names with that wild card on your local DNS server with internal IPs, but to auto renew it you’re going to have to do some pretty decent DNS work.

    To be honest I’ve scrapped most of my reverse proxies for a nice tailscale network. Less moving parts, encrypted end-to-end.



  • Especially on Lemmy, the only thing it’s really doing is bringing some discoverability but the discoverability isn’t all that bad on Lemmy you have to look around for like 2 minutes to find the communities, okay, well you have to understand that there are like communities on multiple instances, figure out how to switch from local to all, then look around for 2 minutes

    After hanging out on Blue sky for a bit I’m pretty sure Mastodon could use a little algorithmic help. The communities on Mastodon are so loosely formed they can be a little hard to find, you end up looking for people with the same taste and follow their followers. It works but nothing ever gets surface to you that you didn’t actually actively look for and it seems to be kind of a mess in a Twitter scenario.









  • Normal people really don’t like to donate,

    I’m on a medium-small instance; if %5 of users donate a dollar a month, the hardware would likely be paid for.

    If lemmy.world had %0.01 of users paying, they could probably cover their hardware, storage and network fees.

    If you’re not paying the admin’s mortgage, it not that hard to chip in. Unlike the other “options”, no one is getting ad revenue or selling your data, if that’s not worth a cup of cheap coffee a month for 1:20 people they have their priorities in the wrong places. .
