That was basically the same claim LP made. Even if true, if you have a bad master password, you can be compromised. While yes, that’s on you, your data is a high priority target in a centralized password store… if you host it yourself, someone would first have to know you had that data to even target you for that. Much less exposure hosting it yourself. The convenience factor and potentially less security than a company hosting passwords have, so it’s kind of a six of one, half dozen of the other.

Raspberry Pi will handle it.

It’s all about the storage space. Processing requirements are minimal.

I switched from Lastpass to 1Pass and it was pretty miserable. I then swtiched to Bitwarden. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than LP and 1Pass.

The reason you’d want to self-host is so that nobody has access to your data but you. “The cloud” is just someone elses computer"

Nobody can answer this because it depends entirely on how you set it up. It can be set up either way. Whatever you point your internal endpoint at is what it is.

Happened to me recently as well. i use Sync. Even creating a new account results in it being banned within a couple of days.

Wat

Holy fuck! Are you twelve? Did Mommy tell you get off the Internet again?

Lol. Truth hurts, I know!

Where did I say anyone was forcing anyone else to use Mastodon (or Twitter et al?)

I don’t use Mastodon or Twitter, never have… because it’s a platform for people with low attention spans and lacking anything interesting to say or form a complex cogent though and discourages intelligent interaction in favor of quick quips and toxic behavior. Mastodon/Twitter is a cancer on the Internet, end of story.

Pages represent web pages, whereas notes represent “a short written work typically less than a single paragraph in length”. In my opinion, using Page was a mistake on Lemmy’s end. Just like Lemmy won’t support Place objects, I’m not sure if any other platform will ever support Page objects, because Pages are much bigger in scope than anything most Fediverse applications ever deal with.

Using note was the mistake. Limiting communication to short quips, like Twitter does, is a fucking travesty. The fact that people routinely and often make multiple tweets to extend what they want to say proves this point. Twitter/X was the worst thing to happen to communication in the internet age by further reducing the attention span and ability of people to concentrate on longer bodies of writing, thereby making people even dumber.

Twitter/Mastodon should not even be a thing, honestly. They are dumb methods of communication for dumb people. You can always post something shorter in a long form system, but you can’t post something longer in a short form system, without making multiple posts. It’s fucking stupid and always has been. The primary reason for the short form, originally 140 char, was because you could text it in one message. This made a bit of sense… just a tiny bit, as it opened up communication where there previously wasn’t any. But as we moved away from that paradigm of 140 char text messages, the idea of a Twitter became more and more stupid, where today, we have Twitter/Mastodon as the bastion of the idiot regime who can’t think past 280 characters.

GitHub Link isn’t working. How could I theoretically use this for my instance?

What part of what I wrote do you not understand? Because it’s painfully clear you are completely mistaken about how Federation works or what it is. I’ve already explained the differences to you, but you don’t seem to be able to grasp them. So where is the failure of communication here? Which parts are you having trouble with?

Decentralization does not mean that one part of the network can’t go down but the network itself will survive it.

What does this sentence even mean. It’s just word salad and looks like you are throwing out buzzwords you’ve heard somewhere but don’t know what they actually mean contextually.

With a centralized network you literally have one server and if it dies all data is lost.

You just described Lemmy.

The fact that you don’t understand that federation != decentralization is the problem. Just because something is federated does not mean it’s decentralized. Decentralized means all data is stored on all nodes and the loss of any one node does not compromise that data. That’s not Lemmy. If your Lemmy server goes down, significant portions of your data go with it, which proportions vary, but you WILL lose data. That’s not decentralized, but everyone agrees Lemmy is federated, yes? Therefore, federation is not decentralization.

Federated systems all have a single point it failure, the server. If a server instance disappears a significant portion of your data does as well, especially if it wasn’t federated. User accounts are a good example of this in Lemmy.

Just because a system is federated does not mean it’s decentralized, whereas a decentralized system has no risk of loss of data if a single system goes down. Federation is not that.

You can basically do that with Diaspora

I think a lot of you are confusing Federation with decentralization. They are not the same thing.

Nobody cares man. Why do you think this is the proper forum to air your grievance about a known shitty instance?

Stop visiting that instance. Problem solved.

Why am I going to sell them anything? It’s a self made problem that is instantly fixed by stopping doing what the complaint is about.

It’s like you are going to the doctor and saying “Doc, my hand hurts!” When the doc asks why you say you’ve been hitting your hand with a hammer. He tells you to stop doing that but you say “Good luck with that” instead of “oh right. Yeah that makes sense”

Lol what?

Sh.itjust.works, the 4th biggest instance, is defederated by beehaw, the 7th largest instance.

Should the 2357 monthly active users of Sh.itjust.works just leave to another instance to be able to access Beehaw communities?

Literally yes. That is how it works. If you don’t like the federation policies of any given instance, MOVE. There is no reason to stick around an instance that has shitty policies. Why can’t you understand this?

You can also yourself choose only one community and only see the content once. Then your problem goes away.

I don’t have a problem. You are the one that has a problem with it. I subscribe to one community. My server doesn’t defederate from anyone. I literally have zero problems of the type you are describing. Your problems are self-made. They aren’t a problem with Lemmy, they are a problem with you putting yourself into that situation. It’s the literal translation of the meme with the kid on the bike sticking the branch in his wheel and then blaming the bike when he crashes.
