Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is “429 Too Many Requests”, after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it’s handling

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?
20·2 years agoThis is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it’s current sorry decayed state and at any time you’ll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can’t.

Persistent apps running in the background. One constant complaint many have is background apps that should be left alone killed by battery-saving stuff. One of the ways to prevent this from happening that devs have used is persistent notifications. Killing this option fucks up lots of apps that are supposed to run in the background. I guess i’ll stay away from Android 14 for now.
Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games
And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive
At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there’s a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Unsubscribe link from their emails takes you to this. You then to need to sign in with email and password (I don't know my password) to manage preference. I just want all out!
13·2 years agoIn EU at least they’re required by law to have working unsubscribe links that actually unsubscribe you, otherwise they risk getting huge fines, i understand that in California things are not too far from this but no idea about the details

VPNs were never intended to make you anonymous, if you expected a VPN to make you anonymous you were very mistaken

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•leng - a fast DNS server with adblocking, built for self-hosting
2·2 years agoTangential partial offtopic aside: Unless i’m misunderstanding, you’re setting this up behind your home router and allowing it on your various devices using a VPN. Am i right? Any details, or even better, guides, on how to replicate this setup? I guess the DNS records on Leng are to be able to call services inside your home LAN by name instead of IPs, which is a nice quality of life upgrade.

Technology@lemmy.world•LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info.
237·2 years agoTroy Hunt, the Have I Been Pwned person, has a very informative analysis of the breach that was not a breach, turns out nothing actually “leaked” from Linkedin, it’s a mix of scrapped and generated stuff
