It was VPN issue for me. Some IPs in Proton VPN doesn’t work. When I tried a different IP or turned the IP off, I could access again.
Well, but most of the time I don’t care enough to go in.

The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username.
This is just like email, I see no problem here.
I think the problem is about the mindset and the onboarding experience. We’ve used too much proprietary products and prefer something easy and not too much diverge from the norms. Recently, I tried to advertise Mastodon and Lemmy to my non-techie friends, which are using X and Reddit. Some did try but gave up. They said they didn’t understand the concept, and didn’t want to bother with choosing an instance in the first place, because they didn’t understand the federation concept. It’s just hard to explain the benefits of the fediverse to non-techie people.
The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users.
I have the same observation as your view. Current fediverse communities are heavily towards tech. Some of my friends joined but gradually left because they had a few to no interactions or no interesting people in their interested areas to follow.
I learned the lesson: keep the hope low (so I don’t get disappointed), and never preorder.
Unpopular opinion: just type “Massive Win”. What’s wrong with it?
Default Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.
That’s just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.
I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.
Why is Google trying to follow the model of Spotify even though the model is not really successful? I hate when browsing my music in Spotify some podcast pops up. I just want to listen to my music, dammit!
May I ask why?
Personally, I find its UI/UX is annoying. The quality of the sound is awesome, though.
My boss allows people to WFH officially, but also establishes several small office spaces so people can come to hang out if they feel lonely, or want to get to know their colleagues more. I think this is the best of both world.
True, on my feed there are too much posts from “Meme” even that I don’t interact with it often. So I unsubscribed the community. Maybe I would consider subscribing it back when the recommendation system is a bit better.
AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it’s nice to have a place for everything.
Same. I’m using betterfox and liking it so far.
The good thing is every configuration is well documented so I’m confident to make the changes myself (like enable back account sync - it’s super useful but I don’t know why it was disabled in the first place).
insert Thanos stone meme.
We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.
Wow you’re self-hosting a password manager! Don’t you feel scared if something went wrong?
I’m also running Adguard as my DNS-level adblocker on my Pi 3. Feels way more content than Pihole.
Could you list some of your “stuffs” that you run on your k3s? I’m curious.
I read in “The Cathedral and The Bazaar” that Linux was not that revolutionary (it reused code and ideas from Mimix) but the collaboration of the entire talent pool from the Internet to develop the kernel is. Massively respect for Linus.
Not on paper documents though. Here in Europe I have to write dd-mm-yyyy.
That is correct!
And the line below that is: “From frontend to backend, Japan’s first book about LLVM technical skills with a wide range of explanations.”
Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs…
