Yep. They did go away. I just uploaded them back again. Mine is a single user instance and I don’t upload much, so it wasn’t a big problem.

I hope the Lemmy devs implement this in v1.0.0 because this is pretty annoying.

Yeah I am using the “proxy all images” image mode. Though I still don’t get why the images aren’t being deleted at some point.

I just changed to another distro (so I had to set everything up again) and I simply did not backup the pictrs volume because how much time it would’ve taken to transfer it from one machine to another. And well, it seems like what you said is not true. I can load any old post and I will still see its images.

Oh shit. The god of technology just came and educated us about what MAC stands for. We should be grateful.

I really like the one with the fish

It shows in some comments and posts, but not all.

Yep, forgot to say that it only appears if there is at least a downvote.

Does this affect how my account is viewed on other frontends or like how my account works? I mean I won’t enable it but I gotta ask now.

Yes, it does. It affects how it is viewed in frontends that support the option “Show Bot accounts”. It regulates whether someone will see posts and comments from a bot account or not.

I don’t think I really understand.

I disabled all Show scores, Show upvotes, Show downvotes, Show upvote %, and I don’t think anything really happens. I mean I can still see them all (or some of them), and like now I have all of them enabled but I can’t see who downvoted you, what’s your upvote percentage and your score (although just as I said, this doesn’t happen to all) - I can only see how many upvotes you have.

• Show read posts

Read posts will not appear in your feed. Posts are read as marked if you upvote/downvote, open or comment in them.

• Show upvotes

Shows upvotes in the frontend

• Show downvotes

Shows downvotes in the frontend

Can be overriden by instance setting Enable downvotes (when set to disabled).

Can you clarify what you mean by “I can’t see who downvoted you”? Do you mean as in knowing the accounts that downvoted my comment or the count? Unless you’re a moderator in a community or an administrator, you can’t see the accounts that downvoted somebody. Community mods can only see them within content that is in the communities they moderate. Admins can see any.

• Show upvote %

Works like Show scores, but shows a upvote to downvote percentage instead. You will see a smiley face. Only shows up if there are any downvotes.

• Show Scores

Show the result of upvotes minus downvotes, you will see a heart icon with the result in comments.

• Bot account

This marks your account as a bot.

For example this is a bot account: @ohm@lemmy.asudox.dev

I think you can understand the others.

Apparently one of the devs got a confirmation from NLnet for a grant, so GNU Taler will probably become another payment option in Liberapay.

Switzerland has GNU Taler. They launched it there a few months ago, lucky for you. Check its website: https://taler-ops.ch/de/

You just kind of need to wait for merchants to use it. Could become mainstream somewhere around 2028.

From wikipedia:

GNU Taler is a free software-based microtransaction and electronic payment system. Unlike most other decentralized payment systems, GNU Taler does not use a blockchain. A blind signature is used to protect the privacy of users as it prevents the exchange from knowing which coin it signed for which customer.

The wallet is like cryptocurrency wallets in that when you lose it (lose your cryptographic keys or phone), you lose all the money inside of it. So you must keep it safe like your own physical wallet. It works with NFC, so it can replace Google Pay or Apple Pay or whatever.

It also works offline, which is awesome. Though you do need to be online sometimes to refresh your digital money or they expire and become unspendable. The expiry is set by the GNU Taler operator.

Do keep in mind that receivers are NOT anonymous. Only senders are anonymous. This is by design and is there to apply tax to merchants and also combat fraud, etc.

You can learn how it works by reading their docs: https://docs.taler.net/

The FAQ is also a good thing to read: https://www.taler.net/en/faq.html

I think problem number 1 might be solvable if GNU Taler succeeds in europe as the digital euro backend. https://taler.net/

Of course this would only apply to people in the EU, but who knows, others might follow.

I just gave away my private key used to access my vps via ssh.

The website is secured with SSL ✓ and network traffic encrypted with TLSv1.3 ✓. Furthermore, the website uses IPv6 ✓ and my private key is encrypted with AES256 ✓✓✓. Nobody else can access it.

This is off topic. This is a support community for Lemmy specifically. It is more appropriate to post this in something like !fediverse@lemmy.world

I personally use and recommend SearXNG.

+1 Posteo. Been using them since 2024

1Password and DuckDuckGo are neither privacy friendly nor FOSS.

Firefox should have a .part file with the downloaded content written to it. So even if it was cutoff, if you attempt to download the thing again, it should continue where it was at last time.

Yep. We have Fediseer for such instances though.

Another Reddit with AI builtin.

It’s mostly idiots who want to be part of something and some that “don’t like” what is happening and “want” change but put in the least possible amount of effort pathetically to attempt to cause a change, and this only when someone popular suggests.

They never really want to stop using the product. It’s like drug addicts trying to make drugs less addicting by “protesting” against the very thing they use (and will keep using) literally everyday.
