Does that really scale though? The load on a server is not dependent on the number of users, but on the number of communities from other server that the sum of user is subscribing to.

Which means if you have a server for 100 users, you still need to pay for the 1000s giant communities that those users are subscribing to, as they are being copied over in your server.

So if you have a few mega server like Lemmy.world, they each pay say 10000£ in hosting a month (number taken out of my hat), which is fine because they have as many users that can contribute to it financially ( via donations, ads etc.). But small servers won't be able to support that load and will ultimately close.

That sounds like a design flaw if you ask me but i did not see anyone mentioning it so maybe i'm misunderstanding.

I planned on exporting a web version as well and I was testing there first hence the issue.

How would this allow any website to impersonate you though? The login is made via a jwt which would not be accessible if you go in another website. If I login on mysuperlemmyclient.com and then visit maliciouswebsite.com, how can maliciouswebsite access the jwt that is stored likely in a cookie of mysuperlemmyclient.com?

Hi everyone, I was toying with the idea of writing an open source client for Lemmy in React Native.

However, using lemmy-js-client, I'm getting CORS issue when trying to hit the APIs for lemmy.world (and also lemmy.ml) from the browser.

I could write a proxy server or a full backend, but that feels contrary to the fediverse philosophy of not being dependant on one instance etc. Not to mention users would have to trust me, some random person, with their logins / passwords for Lemmy.

Is there a way we can have CORS enabled from * for the APIs of lemmy.world?

Lemmy controversy? (lemmy.world)

Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.

I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

I'll go against all the comment here and say yes. It looks like apple is delivering a fantastic piece of hardware, and some basic solid features software wise. But the price point also means the user base will be more likely to buy expensive applications, compared to say the Quest. Some predictions

  • Next iPhone will come with dual camera that allow to take 3D scenery, that can only fully be appreciated in the headset.
  • The developer ecosystem will be super active. We know that's going to be a line of product for at least 10 years, and being the first on the market in your segment can be critical.
  • The price point is of course really high, but a year or so after they'll announce the Apple Vision (not pro). This will remove some of the decorative feature, such as the outward facing screen that shows your eyes etc. and reduce the price point to maybe 2K. Again, possibly more expensive that people would be ready to pay, but don't under estimate monthly payment plan elongated over 3 years. In between FOMO, social proof and the actual usefulness it will find its user base.

And at some point, Samsung, Google, and possibly maybe chinese constructers etc. will come up with their android based alternative. Starting as cheaper / not as good, and slowly catching up and building new features. "Samsung vision, gaming oriented with tracked controllers included", "Pixel Vision, that integrates with your full suit of google products and give you great quality for less price" etc.

Wrong community, there is nothing mild about this

Hey everyone, not sure what the rules are in terms of promotional content here, but my wife has a great etsy shop where she makes stained glass pieces, including Koroks, Triforces, Mario mushroom, zelda hearts and more!

You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LajiliArt

She's doing everything by hand in our house whilst our toddler in sleeping and keep coming up with new designs! She can also do custom order and will take any suggestion of things you might like to see :)

Thanks, I'll have a look over all that over the weekend.

Oh nice, I had a seedbox some years ago but at the time it was fairly manual still. Stopped it the day I accidentally run a rm -rf / instead of rm -rf ./ (yeah that happens in real life!). I'll have a look to see if I can find a hand free option or at the very least add the combination of Sonarr and nzb360 myself, thanks

I've sailed the high seas for a while starting with Emule, through MIRC, torrenting, mega(upload) and many more.

Lately I've been using a p4s service on plex but they kept having issues so I stopped it. I don't mind paying but I want

  • the latest episodes of my content as it comes out
  • great quality with little to no compression
  • english subtitles, original voice (whether english, japanese...)
  • 100% uptime.

I'm assuming my p4s service was not downloading new episodes by hand, so there must a (set of) OSS software to automatically download new episodes of a predefined set of TV shows / anime, add subtitles, and make it available as a plex server or similar no? I'm a software developer so not affraid to run a few docker containers on a local server

I was in Japan for 6 weeks in March / April and I'm already missing their sushi. This is my attempt at a salmon nigiri which was nowhere as good as a top sushiya in japan but at the very least conveyence-belt level, definitely much better than most salmon nigiri you find in the UK.

Quite happy with how I cut the skin also !
