Sunday afternoon, after careful evaluation of a significant security concern, we made the intentional decision to sever our ties to the internet.
I feel like most big announcements like this end up being Ransomware. Cutting off from the wider internet feels like a weird move to defend/mitigate that? Unless it's to reduce exfiltration?
I assume you mean SSL/TLS certificates for internet accessable applications? I use a reverse proxy called Caddy in a Docker container, which handles requests from the internet and directs them to the proper docker container based on the subdomain. It also handles my certificates automatically, requesting a new Let'sEncrypt cert just before the old one expires using a community made plugin.
You may be able to use the CLI tool mmv, which can be installed through the apt package manager. It's great at renaming files that are starting a similar naming convention and ending with a similar naming convention, you could use mmv to move your files. It also suppose sum links and hardlinks. It's what I used to rename folders of tv shows when I need to do that.
I hope so too. But he's already not supposed to be using Mar-a-lago as a permanent residence. So we'll see what happens.
I doubt even for health reasons, probably more for security reasons. Secret Service securing a prison would be a nightmare for anything short of splitary confinement. For that reason alone, he'd probably be under house arrest.
You're correct about the difference between Local and All!
You can see the full list of Beehaw's Connected and Blocked instances here. A that URL format works for any Lemmy instance, https:///instances.

RIF developer pushing back on Huffman's claims that RIF didn't want to work with Reddit by releasing emails.
It is probable that these instances follow in the footsteps of Reddit- the cycle repeats.
I don't think this is completely the case. Some instances will suffer from overzealous mods and admins, others will suffer because of absent ones, others will have too strict or too lax rules. That's unavoidable in any large number of communities. But Reddit is preparing and doing something that the vast majority of Lemmy instances will never do, Reddit is trying to prepare for an IPO and to have to show growth to shareholders on top of advertisers.
If that is something that could be done by a Lemmy instance, if that is botched it would be even easier for Lemmy users to jump ship to other instsnces and potentially defederate from the IPO instance.
Tree Style Tabs for Firefox gets installed on every Desktop install I use.
There are over 6000 subreddits that still aren't public. Like looks like Reddit is over waiting for them to come back online. https://famichiki.jp/@Tsutsuku/110537730270070245
I doubt Reddit builds a decent search engine, that doesn't actually help them at all.
If users can search, they find a previous post pertaining to what they want to see/know and they move on.
If there's no search, users can't find old posts or comments so they make new posts about a previously posted topic and more comments are made as other users react. That's more content, even if low quality from a user perspective, that shows engagement which can be sold to advertisers.
That's before considering the engineering effort it takes to make a good search engine, constantly fine tune that algorithm, and try to outpace those that are trying to game the search algorithm.
