How about have the bot detect community crossposts and try to funnel the conversations into one post.
I fear, this "to be created" "sync feature" is going to create a lot of noise.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.
I thought as the OP did (Trumps goal was to overwhelm and destabilize the U.S.)... your response gave me pause.
I guess we'll find out who was right in 4 years....
Yeah, I tried to help my grandma with installing/using a video conference app... at the end of the day, I just call her (and yes, she still has a landline) :).
It's more than needing a reminder: Let's Encrypt Certs are valid for a maximum of 90 days before they need to be reissued. Doing this 4 times (or more) a year, for years on end will be tedious and error prone.
Most tools that request and install Let's Encrypt Certs automatically do this without the need for human interaction (30 days prior to the expiration) . Actually, they work so well you don't notice the "behind the scenes work" that's happening.
The problem is when this renewal process "stop working". I'd been using Let's Encrypt for years w/o problems, but eventually the client I was using wasn't updating and it was using a deprecated Let's Encrypt API. Ultimately, the cert stopped updating, but I got the email reminder from Let's Encrypt and I was able to fix it w/o a disruption.
Now, this was just a server for personal use. So if the SSL cert expired, it would not be the end of the world. Plus, I would have gotten a bunch of SSL errors the next time my client was trying to sync data, and I probably would have dropped everything to fix it. But the email reminder was a convenient feature, which allowed me to fix it whenever I had time.
That said, if Let's Encrypt wants to save some money for their free service, I'm certainly not going to complain (although I will miss it).
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this.
I have it installed, I'm curious how effective it will be.
Lately, I've been reporting AI generated cruft as "spam" to duckduckgo. In fact, it's not really spam - as there are some nuggets of useful information, but so sparse, I'd rather of skipped the article/website entirely. I hope these kind of Blocklists will evolve to include this kind of quasi-spam.
The thing that unites most of the "racist Nazis" is desperation.
Especially, in the U.S. the erosion of the middle class is forcing families to be either upper or lower class.
The lower class families are struggling and have been struggling for quite sometime. They experience day to day, the struggles of keeping their jobs, keeping food on the table, not to mention trying to fulfill the dream of having a holiday.
These people see "illegal" immigrants working in the fields on their way to their minimum wage job. They hear on the news how "more jobs are being created", yet they're still stuck in their dead-end job and they're the lucky ones. Their friend Pete's been in between jobs for a few years now. Pete can't get a job 'cause these immigrants work for pennies on the dollar and Pete's got a family to feed.
They're all desperate, they're cornered. Then they become hateful. They see anyone who is not in the same situation as them is "the enemy". The people who are stealing a piece of their pie (ie the illegal immigrants) need to be stopped, but they aren't because corporate greed is funding this.
Then on the news, you hear about a messiah. He promises change, he understands the injustice you face on a daily basis. "The System" that claims "everything is fine and is only getting better" is fuming about the messiah. Your distrust of the System, combined with their knee-jerk reaction, makes you wonder "hmmm... maybe this is the change I need... any change would be better than the stagnation we're currently facing".
So, they go and vote for a wannabe dictator.
disclaimer: these are not my opinions, but merely my empathy (I know of these people) . This is also a similar sense of desperation that lead to World War 2.
I agree in principle, but try explaining that to your grandmother.
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Original, I thought "hey, everything will work"... but then I started to look into the details. For example, Revolut, it works, then it doesn't work (due to attestation), then works (after people complain).
I really need to ask myself, if this is the kind of experience I want with my daily driver. On the other hand, I know this is just Google strong arming me into their walled garden. Man, I really hate this dystopian future.
If you do opt for OpenVPN, I believe UDP is generally better for performance. TCP support is mainly there for scenarios where UDP is blocked, or on dodgy connections where TCP's more proactive handling of dropped packets can reduce the time before a lost packet gets retransmitted.
It's great that you brought up TCP vs UDP. And you are totally right about TCP being a bit slower, higher overhead, but it's there for situations where UDP is blocked.
I've used my VPN at all sorts of hotels, coffeeshops, etc. I'd say 1 in 10 places block UDP (or more likely don't properly route UDP). If you're using a SIM card, you won't have any issues.
However, it's worth mentioning that WireGuard is UDP only. There are some hacks/workarounds to have it work over TCP, but then you're going to need to find WireGuard clients that also supports these hacks (which is possible on computers, but harder on cellphones/tablets).
If you want something that "just works" under all conditions, then you're looking at OpenVPN. Bonus, if you want to marginally improve the chance that everything just works, even in the most restrictive places (like hotel wifi), have your VPN used port 443 for TCP and 53 for UDP. These are the most heavily used ports for web and DNS. Meaning you VPN traffic will just "blend in" with normal internet noise (disclaimer: yes, deep packet inspection exists, but rustic hotel wifi's aren't going to be using it ;)
Lemm.ee: It's the Switzerland of the fediverse. ;)
The Operations Team are a stand-up group. Their focus is on delivering stability.
You'll basically get access to all content (and all "features", like up-vote and down-vote - I'm looking at you beehaw).
What I've heard from other people is that they want automagic curated content... so you won't find that a lemm.ee, but for me - I'm happy to find the content that's meaningful to me.

That depends on which side of the wealth gap you're on, right?
I don't think "dieing off" or "stepping aside" is going to be the catalyst for change.
What will happen is that the old guards will groom the next generation in the playbook's they've been (successfully) using and refining for the last decade. Those groomed players will then be their successors.
The only way we'll get the "change and improvement" is if we (as a society) say "this is enough, you've gone too far". However, given the levels of apathy and the recent election outcome, I'd say the American People will need to suffer more, before they're shaken out of their apathetic stupor.
