If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)

Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

Drop a question in your instances meta community

Technically, the UK has 2 train tunnel size boarders with France. (And a service tunnel?)

Some instances restrict image uploads because of people uploading… Unsavoury images.

You should be able to link to an external image site.

My parents had their current house built - an awesome oak framed building. I got the frame design from the architects and turned it into a 3D printed jigsaw.

Each beam had a bit on the end that plugged into the relevant socket (with a little bku-tacto help in some cases)

I had done no 3d modeling previous to this, and practically none after. Took me months, awesome though!

Yeh, I see the edits

You seem to have made 3 posts?

Isn’t that the vault that is unstable as we underestimated climate change?

That’s a lot of useful info, thanks!

What do you want to run in a VM that can’t run in Docker?

a VM with torrent client and a killswitched VPN was the easiest way to get a secure setup. also meant if it ever got virused I could just roll it back. I need to look more into what docker can actually do by the looks of it.

You are the second person to suggest unraid - is it ok to sit on the perpetual license (for a few years at a time), or are the updates really required? It supports GPU passthrough right, so I can have a ‘normal’ linux desktop for gaming while running the other stuff in the background?

TY for the response!

I only know of it from LTT videos I think, not exactly the best endorsement!

That’s a lot of data (relatively)! Are you paying for the unraid license yearly, or just sitting on an old version?

Here ya go: https://selfh.st/apps/

oooh, TY! Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆

I guess I must as well have a play with some stuff like jellyfin to see if its useful. The ‘server’ in this case would have a 6 year old GPU in it, so should hopefully have enough grunt.

Thanks for the info!

ah sorry, my new ISP gave me a router, but it doesn’t have any VPN functionality on it (Edited OP to make that clear). My old one probably can’t support the speed, and for some reason doesn’t let me change its MAC address, so I can’t use it as the ISP facing device.

I’m paying for a static IP (and to get off cg-nat)

what benefit does a new router give over just putting the VPN software on the RP for example?
