Nah, that’s not urgent for me right now. But I logged in on the website and saw my email aliases, each had stat like 0 sent in the last 14 days - which implies that it should be possible to send one.

Really? That wasn’t obvious for me. I’ll check it, thanks.

Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.

I have a similar setup. The interesting thing is that never happens with Chrome.

You could ignore my reply, but instead you decided to attack me. I don’t know what’s your problem, but it’s between two years right in your head, so please leave me out of it.

Why?

Awesome, thanks!

I’d guess that:

• Google is a bigger brand that attracts many people as a lot of them are already using some of the company’s products
• These other products are well integrated with the browser: browser history is shared across devices along with passwords and extensions
• Google advertises Chrome in the Google Search, it’s a default search engine even in Firefox

Most people are not tech savvy and/or privacy-oriented.

Do you know if personal data (like emails, IP addresses) is also distributed across the world? I mean, this is important from the privacy perspective. Different countries have different rules.

I guess I missed that. Then yeah, that affected the statistics.

Where’s lemm.ee located physically?

.ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.

It does, however one must know what is six minus two to get the approval.

I don’t think that this is entirely true. Every instance has admins, communities have admins and moderators too. They define and enforce rules, make decisions and perform maintenance. It’s not that different from centralized platforms with the exception that there’s no common higher authority.

I’d use something that people are already familiar with: emails are the most common example. But maybe people could imagine a world, where users on Facebook could see posts and interact with people from Twitter and vice versa. Platforms are different, owners are different, but people in this hypothetical scenario could communicate with each other. That’s much more relevant to modern world than emails and probably not that hard to imagine.

Fediverse is like that, but you can also pay $5 for a server and start your own Facebook.

If I were you, I’d stop trying to explain one thing that I’m struggling to explain using the other thing I’m struggling to explain as an analogy.

Oh my god, ahaha.

It’s been like that for at least a ear.

If you click on the link:

Use case: I run a single user instance where I don’t create any of my own communities but I subscribe to and interact with a variety of communities on other instances. By making my instance non-private, everyone on the Internet can browse to it and see every remote community I’ve looked at which seems pretty bad for privacy.

Why move from Reddit to a forum?

Sadly, I don’t see the answer to this question. While reddit shares some features with classic forums, these platforms are different. Moving to XenForo, which also requires a quite expensive license, is not the best choice as a reddit replacement.

You’d probably need to configure your router if you want to access your laptop when you’re outside of your home network (e.g. from a mobile phone). If there’s an incoming connection to port 443 (https), your router doesn’t even know which device in the network could handle it. Port forwarding should be easy to set up on any modern router using their web interface. Same applies to some VPS providers like AWS Lightsail, they might have firewalls.

Like with every big task, take it step by step. You can’t learn everything overnight, start with something small. Set up a web server (e.g. nginx) what will act as a reverse proxy. Make it accessible from the internet. Then try to set up one of the services from your list and focus on it.

Learn one thing at a time, don’t rush and avoid context switching.

This is so dumb, what is he thinking? What’s the angle?

I’d guess that he wants to control what people see for one reason or another. I blocked a lot of communities here to make my feed more enjoyable.
