It’s a fair point, but I don’t think I’m worthy, hence why I asked. Lol
i’m on beehaw and they don’t just create communities, hence why I asked here. Seems like I’m getting a number if uovotes, so not sure if others are interested in my question or woukd like to see folks posting when they go live here. Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
Obviously wondering mod and communities thoughts as well. This is all of our space imo.
I have been for years and haven’t regretted it. Run my own micro-blog with go to social, tilvids is an excellent peertube, beehaw for lemmy, and matrix is the only option when talking to family imo.
I’m a linux nerd and I jut run stock Fedora. It’s desktop is like a phone UI, so lots of folks are familiar with it.
I then use a wireless keyboard and trackball. T
here are tons of remotes out there,but I don’t have any experience with then. Let me know if you find a good remote though. 😁
At this point just get a rasbperry pi, or some similar device, and run it as a regular computer. Firefox, ublock origin, don’t worry about ads, and turn it into a machine that is capable of soooooooo much more. Hell, any PC will work. Steam Deck, NUC, that old laptop you have laying around? Been running little NUCs on my TVs for years and so happy I don’t have to put up with that nonsense.
Invidious still wotks great for me.
There’s also Piped.
Peertube is also gaining traction and I personally enjoy that, just needs more content creators to stop worrying about chicken and egg and start protecting their content.
As someone that watches Twitch through MPV, I can confirm watching “Ad Playing” is preferable to actually watching an annoying ad.

If you’re getting DHCP, it could also be the DHCP server that’s giving you this address. In a standard house you’ll not set a specific IP address, but your router will give you one, and normally your home computers will also use your router for DNS. So potentially your router is setting this, but that’d be a misconfigured router really, because your router shouldn’t be telling your computer to look at local loopback for DNS requests.
Your /etc/resolv.conf is generated by your NetworkManager, which you know. Seeing the settings of NM can be confusing, and I had to try to remind myself. You can manually set these in NM or as someone else stated, systemd-resolved might be doing this as well. If you’re changing this inside of NM and you’re still seeing that, then something is changing it, again systemd-resolved is the most likely culprit but there are other applications that do DNS caching such as unbound, dnsmasq, etc.
You can try seeing NM with the nmcli command such as the following:
$ nmcli connection show Wired\ connection\ 1
Note that “Wired\ connection\ 1” is the name of my connection, but yours might vary. If you hit TAB though a few times it should give you options.
You’d then look for an option like ipv6.dns and if it’s not set you’ll see “–”.
However that “nameserver ::1” is just indicating the ipv6 loopback so on an ipv6 address your NM is saying look for something listening locally.
If you don’t like looking at nmcli you could also check nm-connection-editor command:
$ nm-connection-editor
And that opens a GUI for editting connections.
There’s also nmtui for NM’s terminal user interface.
The Linux Experiment is also on the Fediverse.

Coukd it also be that he used to work for them and is just familiar with it?
So if the work they used to train it isn’t a copyright violation canthr things it creates be copyrighted? I hate copyright. It doesn’t protect the people it should. Public domain everything that these AI create, companies will stay away, and we support creators directly.
This is the part that caught my attention:
Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross-site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult.
And we do those things, not because we’re fraudsters, but because we’re trying to protect ourselves from the likez of YOU!
YOU did this, change your model and maybe it’ll be better? Oh! But! Mooooooooney! I forgot. Stupid me.
This is the fucking bully telling the nerd that if he doesn’t just HAND OVER his lunch money, that he’ll get beat. It’s YOUR fault! Not OURS!
Edit: Formatting and added about bully
Edit 2: fixing the formatting of the formatting edit. :-D lol
XMPP or Matrix. I’m on Matrix only because I have my family there and I was there before I knew of XMPP and at this point I can’t turn that boat.
Signal was/is (idk if they still are) into crypto, they don’t let you run your own server or client, and they have a proprietary shim in place to combat spam (or so they say, it can’t be audited because it’s proprietary).
I was all in on Signal until the above.
Black background with GREEN text is the ONLY way you HEATHEN! We are now enemies! And we shall settle this like gentlemen!

Nothing stopping Vimeo from plumbing in ActivityPun amd joining the Fediverse. It’s open and the only reason no one does is because the data is valuable and they don’t want to share and play nice.
These walled gardens were not how the internet was imagined.
Understandable. But it’s the chicken and egg problem. Creators don’t want to create content, because there’s no consumers. Consumers don’t want to sign up, because there’s no creators.
So are you the chicken or the egg? :-D
If you’re on one you don’t like anymore you could always change instances and watch videos there. If you’re worried about losing comments, well you can comment from other Fediverse servers such as Mastodon or GoToSocial and they show up on the page for the video. :-)
I use GoToSocial with Sempahore for my microblogging (alternative to Mastodon).
Also Owncast as an alternative to Twitch.
And then I watch tilvids.com and other Peertube instances for videos.
And of course Lemmy. :-D
Oh and then there’s Funkwhale for audio.
It’s all in different states of usability, depending on the communities involved.

This is an amazing article for folks interested in the low level IPC dbus. systemd, network manager, and or applications are leveraging dbus and with the new dbusbroker I expect more and more applications leverage it. It’s MASSIVELY confusing at first, but this is such a great article I hope it helps anyone interested in thr low level communications of userspace level linux applications.
