Thankfully nobody uses that instance.

[-] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Right! Ehe he he.. He...

Hey, I've got an idea, how about we share some of our favorite instances here You go first!

I like sh.itjust.works. They have good spaceflight posts.

[-] fin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

sh.itjust.works depends on cloudflare, sadly

.radio was up under the global outage

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I like all the coolest instances. We all know the ones!

[-] anzo@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

One should pick them based on their rules. Other than that, I like piefed. But there aren't many active instances tho.

Quite a few lemmy instances became inaccessible, including piefed.world.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 46 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Someone shared this with me earlier

[-] m33@lemmy.zip 16 points 10 months ago

Nice barcode generator

  • stares intently…

lemmy.filthyfilthy.one? oh wait

[-] nitrolife@rekabu.ru 3 points 10 months ago

The funny thing is that the Lemmy nodes are synchronized with each other, and to calculate the real address of any Federation node, it is enough to raise a node, write a comment in the interested node, and then reply to yourself from that node. Done. Real IP in you node logs. However, everyone continues to use Cloudflare... This will only protect you from technically illiterate people.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 15 points 10 months ago

The point of cloudflare isn't just to hide your real IP. It's the caching, bot scrape protection, etc.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 9 points 10 months ago

And an ai slop trainer blocker, which is a fucking godsend.

And all this is done with a single entry in hosts after receiving the real address. After all, knowing the real address, the bot doesn't have to go through cloudflare. The only good argument is caching, and it can be implemented independently. I find it strange to give all the traffic, including authorization, to cloudflare decrypt for the sake of caching.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You can simply configure your server to reject non-cloudflare traffic, as you're supposed to if you're doing it properly.

Plus side of being federated is it's easy to just switch to one of your alts on another instance and still be able to use it.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but I imagine federation between instances will be all messed up. Like if .world is not reachable, then federation between world and whatever other instance you use will get out of sync. But I’m not a server admin so I’m just guessing 

[-] MotoAsh@piefed.social 7 points 10 months ago

Only until they come back online and resync. I don't know the guts of the process, so I don't know what pitfalls there may be, but I'm pretty sure it's designed to handle temporary outages without requiring intervention.

[-] Uri@infosec.pub 18 points 10 months ago

When do I tell you Brownsky is Centralized.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Blusky: the social media site where people post bloopers of pet videos featuring huskies. It's a very small niche.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

There's plenty to see on Bluesky. (It's spelled with an e btw guys.)

Lots of tech people to follow, some progressive famous people that left X to come there, etc.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Maybe, but OP's found the ideal site if you just want husky bloopers.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Oh shit, it's actually a site? Blusky? I thought y'all were just misspelling Bluesky.

Shit, my bad you guys. 😂

I'm over on Bluesguy with B.B. King, SRV, Buddy Guy, etc... It's not worth all the heartache.

[-] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Is there much outside of tech and politics? I’ve seen some cat stuff too but that’s about it. I love cat content but I see enough politics on lemmy and I’m not super into tech.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I bet there's other stuff too but for humourous content and other interests I don't use microblogging sites, I use Instagram, Lemmy, and YouTube for those. Bluesky, Mastodon, stuff like that is good for posting tech updates, political takes, that sort if thing, IMO.

And yes I'm trying to not use Instagram but these mfs be posting some funny ass meme videos and I need that in this world climate. 😩 Also skateboarding content...

[-] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Fair enough. I mostly just use Lemmy now, but I still use Instagram for hockey and baseball content, and YouTube for long-form video content.

It sounds like I don’t have much of a use for BlueSky/Mastodon/etc then. I see enough politics and tech stuff on Lemmy, I don’t need all that elsewhere too.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, you're definitely fine without, probably. Bluesky and Mastodon type platforms are more if you're interested in what one particular person has to say, IMO. I have a few people/accounts I'm interested in what they have to say, so that's the only reason I'm using it. 👍

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

I haven't really looked into the whole federation thing of Lemmy and I'm just basically using it as a user replacing reddit. I believe that my instance is on.zip and I can tell you for damn sure that it was down hard. A lot of the headlines would pop it absolutely no comments would pop from anyone. And then after an hour or so I couldn't even get to any instance. But luckily I have recently started using dig again after getting an invite and dig was up the entire time so I was able to replace that.

[-] Pika@rekabu.ru 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The thing is, every instance is its own server (virtual or physical). If it uses Cloudflare services somewhere, well...

If it uses some other stack, it'll be just fine. Neither of the two instances I'm on seem to use Cloudflare and hence the experience was uninterrupted for me.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The famous Russian site Blusky. In Soviet Russia social media federate you.

[-] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

That's how I always pronounce it as well actually.

[-] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 4 points 10 months ago

It for sure was.

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Lemmy.ca tanked.

[-] sepi@piefed.social 2 points 10 months ago

is this a GoToSocial joke?
