I just mount a tablet in front of my radio and ignore all of the infotainment 'features'. It's just a bluetooth audio device.

Same thing with smartTVs, just ignore all of the 'features' trying to lure you into the data harvesting ecosystem and treat it as a dumb monitor.

pihole, wireguard, qbittorrent, sonarr/radarr, Jellyfin, syncthing, NFS.

I've considered Airsonic but I haven't found a good client that looks good and doesn't behave weirdly. I had one launch about 500 threads trying to transcode the same song which ate up my CPU time on my server resulting in a stern e-mailing from my host.

I’ve had old oximeters get readings without even being on a patient before.

It was just picking up the environment's oxygen concentration! 🤓

Let me know if I’ve misunderstood.

You did not misunderstand.

I referred to them as a Beehaw user because their posts and profile both indicate that they've moved to Beehaw as their primary instance.

Be nicer. Come on. The way you moderate this community will influence the way this entire instance operates. Your rudeness and dismissiveness sets the tone for the entire instance and how people will perceive users with @sh.itjust.works as part of their identity

That's fair.

However, I don't believe I was being rude or dismissive.

• The user's question, asked in the title, was answered in the stickied announcement post.
• They changed their display name to 'Leave This Instance'
• They announced in their profile that they were leaving the instance and accused the admin team of not acting in good faith.
• The body of the post is simply discussing the voting system. We already have a post announcing and discussing changes to the new vote system... creating multiple posts about the same topic only fracture the discussion.

The fact that the user was leaving the instance, encouraging others to leave and also accusing the admins of acting in bad faith doesn't really mesh with the idea that they're just a user attempting to have a good faith discussion about the voting system. Instead it reads like a concern troll by a user who wanted to get one last jab in before they left.

The thread is up and available for anyone to read, it's just locked so that conversation about voting changes will be placed into the correct discussion thread.

Define an executive process for defederation, just as you already have an executive process for moderation. Defederation is part of moderation and 1 month is not a fast turn around for this sort of situation

I think a discussion about defining a policy for de-federation is a great idea and is probably more sustainable than having to have votes on every individual instance. In this case, the issue was fairly contested and had already been submitted for a vote so we used it as the topic of our first week's voting. That doesn't mean that all de-federations require a vote. There was another instance that was allowing content that, under Canadian law, is consider child pornography and it was de-federated immediately.

Increase the transparency of the audit scripts you’re using to tally votes by linking a link to a git repo containing the script. I think it’s fair to say that your automated script for what the vote talley is and what someone reading through the vote sees as being the vote results are quite different

It isn't my script to share and the final count will be done by hand with the script acting as a check. If it is accurate to the hand count then we may depend on it going forward but currently it's just a way to check the progress.

We didn't want to have the thread full of comments that only say 'Remove by moderators' as that could be construed as vote manipulation since nobody can see the content of the removed messages so we decided to leave the comments and instead wrote a script to check to see if a user is flagged as 'local' or not.

TL;DR?

I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.

By the, apparently, infinite transitive property of Naziism, the Fediverse was instantly turned into a Nazi Bar due to this post.

Thanks a lot @HTTP_404_NotFound

Using ! then the community name creates a proper universal link, but the script is broken and you have to manually edit it: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36299

Ideally the instance software should allow a user to set a 'automatically resolve community egress links locally' option. Until then it'll annoy regular users who're not going to bother with greasemonkey userscripts.

Oh, the exciting world of being an early adopter!

It's been ages since I did IT. If I had a user who wanted to run Linux then I knew that, on average, they were going to cause me a lot less headaches with random user issues so I wouldn't mind being flexible. Endpoint security will be different, but a lot of network security is handled through network devices that don't care what the client is.
