human resources (department) is for punishing the human resources (employees).

Gimp works well.

Plex, running locally, on my server: “You should add a server!”

Plex, running locally, on my server: “Claim 10.0.0.10!”

Plex, running locally, on my server, after claiming my server: “You should add a server!”

This reminds me of expertsexchange

Sometimes when people put their hard work into building an app for free, they don’t also want to pay $99 a year so that some bullshit company can profit off of the app developers hard work.

iOS developers are REQUIRED to own a mac and are REQUIRED to pay apple $99 a year. That means it is more costly to develop open source for iOS or any apple product. That’s why apple is terrible.

Ahh yes, the Nonupletree hotel.

Can it run crysis?

“Nope, it’s just me, God… here to fuck your mom”

Hail Satan!

Penetrating octopipe

Yikes!

This is the way

You mean the country that owns and has always owned .ml TLD, which states rules you must follow if you want to register a domain with that TLD, which states the penalties which include forfiet of your domain name, surpised people when they did what they said they would do?

This is kind of interesting to see how the public views ownership. There seems to be an assumption that buying xyz.com is akin to buying a utility (we pay for water service to drink and drown or waterboard). This ain’t it. A domain name is a registration in a database on servers that need to be constantly online, it had costs, it has governance concerns and technical infrastructure that must be maintained. There isn’t a higher power here, no government owns the internet, but some governments do own their own TLDs. This makes it possible to have mali.ml vs visitbeautifulmali420.squarespace.com. It might feel like you have the power to buy fuckmali.ml and put turn it into goatse but mali can nuke your registration if they wanted to. How did these countries get the TLDs? ICANN. But don’t think ICANN is going to jump in and break their rules for you.

This sucks but ICANN has a solution… there are many many TLDs out there now. They all work the same: it’s just a name, point it where you go and it works like any .com or .org. or whatever. Fun ones like .zip and .xxx. grab one you like but be sure to read the rules when registering. Some TLDs do NOT allow private registration. Most country based TLDs (ccTLDs) require that you live in that country and provide proof of citizenship.

This has been around since the inception of the internet. There are alternatives to ICANN, but I am not positive you will want to use them because:

• your visitors will need to use these alternatives on all devices or on the router in order to access your site.
• legit domain holders may not have records on these alternate services but malicious actors might. If we change the IP to a malicious actor for apple servers at the DNS level because the TLDs arent using the root-servers.net, anyone using those TLD root servers could easily be hacked.

It’s not great, but ICANN starts the chain of trust upon which the internet relies.

You’re undopted.

They were down but aren’t. This is going to happen from time to time for reasons, but most importantly (and this is not an advert or endorsement for centralized services like reddit):

• these instances are run by small teams, maybe even one person per instance. By “run by” I mean the admins who can actually host and support the hosting environment of the instance, not moderators though that’s an important task too.
• At reddit or other for-profit companies, multiple teams of people monitor multiple data centers worth of servers, have 24/7 tech support crew, dashboards, alarms, alerts, escallation proceedures drafted by other teams, people they can escallate problems to including usually a decent sized team at the physical datacenter due to the amount of servers they buy because of what they can afford based off advertising income because the site is popular enough, which is why it’s much more rare to see these services go down.

But so many things can and do fail, including:

• updates (dependencies, breaking updates, “this should just have worked but it didn’t, why?!”)
• server issues (too many memes and now the disk has runeth over)
• one server that gets overloaded or is in a data center that has a network failure, or a hardware failure on the server where the virtual server is hosted
• account got hacked
• 0 day exploit targeted directly at this server
• DoS or DDoS attack
• Admin has a day job that they need to do to keep the lights on at home and at the lemmy instance and has to do their day job work.

Speaking from experience, but not with lemmy in particular.

Why is this so hard? UPS tech had been around for a while and I still can’t find linux drivers to support the cyberpower one I have.

You need a wifi router. Connect the wan to your network. One mac, wan doesn’t know about your devices.

Lactaid

Sure… this was just said to simplify what is technically possible. Should you? No maybe not, for multiple reasons. Can you, technically? Yes absolutely. I don’t know what’s the limit but I know that if you have to ask here on lemmy, you might not be anywhere near that limit. Unless you are the go daddy.

Tl;dr: you can add millions of sites to a single IP if you want. Very common in commercial hosting as well.
