❤️ im glad people enjoy them :)

Apparently he is coming back to youtube soon

Bug fix for this was recently introduced, seems to specifically be reddit images.

https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/releases/tag/v0.5.23

Should be fixed going forwards :)

Please ping me directly if you do see anything like this in future!

Some good ideas in this bill, care leavers given some priority for example, but as always with Welsh Gov - where’s the money? This will just cause even higher council tax rises. And with what properties do they expect LAs to provide to people? It’ll just see an increase in HMOs and crime rates as the private market will see an opportunity to force as many people into one building as possible (moreso than already)

I agree with you.

Piefed is great, but there is so much bias built into it. Say what you want about lemmy’s devs, AFAIK there is none of their bias built in to lemmy.

The whole jump to piefed movement has not sat well with me. I get the extra features, but for it to really be something for everyone the dev has to consider their approach. Who knows what might be targetted next because the dev doesn’t like it. (Hyperbole btw, but its akin to censorship)

Calling piefed.zip negligent because we give users control of their experience speaks volumes about either a poorly thought out system or a purposeful bias which shouldn’t exist in federated services. At least add the csam or far right instances to it if its a genuine tool, or remove it entirely

Its a plugin so not default behaviour, although I solidly believe that it should be built in.

I thought scientifically water actually wasn’t wet, rather that it makes other things wet by adhering to them.

Gonna have to look up some peer reviewed studies now.

Come with us Charlie!

Which one? It probably doesn’t support avif format images, so I’ll get in contact and ask they add support

The other half lied.

Are you using an app to access lemmy?

Honestly, country is gripped by clowns.

Would not be at all surprised to find the commissioner has shares or a financial interest in Age Verification companies.

Giving adults free access to high quality porn in exchange for stopping children using VPNs would probably be fairly effective.

My response wasn’t regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn’t true)

But just so you’re aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.

The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can’t access the UI.

If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn’t working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Sorry but your posts are FUD. You’re trying to equate people misusing tlds (which happens across many other tlds) as somehow lemmy.zip is “bad” instance that should be avoided.

Not only is that not true, you are also purposely misunderstanding how federation works as if youre somehow safer not interacting with lemmy.zip. Again, not remotely true.

If you want to block .zip TLDs you go for it, no one is stopping you, but you may as well block .com TLDs while you’re at it as that’s where most scams take place.

Just to clear up, you aren’t interacting with lemmy.zip communities directly from your instance. You never directly interface with lemmy.zip, instead the servers send copies of posts and comments between eachother.

There is no risk from lemmy.zip (obviously) - its a lemmy instance that’s been around over 2 years and is perfectly legitimate. There’s just as much risk from every other tld where people intentionally misspell company names or try to insert similar looking characters. Practice basic Internet security (i.e. dont click on links you aren’t expecting) and you’re pretty much covered.

We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

Hey dont share my email out 😡

I don’t use it currently (except on one of the front ends we use as a test) but I believe the easiest way would be to use nginx to separate the paths you want to pass traffic to, so it doesnt apply to api traffic etc, only the ui. I use traefik for piefed so I don’t know how it integrates in there yet, but I know a few people have got it working for lemmy by using the nginx paths.

There is also go-away as an alternative option.

I have made extensive use of cloudflares challenges too

There’s only one solution - you’ll have to move countries 😉
