Friendica is the next one we're looking at, but I haven't done anything more than prelim research and securing a domain. I want to make sure pixelfed is running smoothly before adding more.

Mastodon feels well served already, there's a plethora of instances.

It's anti DDoS systems filtering the automated request from lemmy to generate the preview. As a user nothing you can really do about it.

The current standard for Fediverse content moderation seems to be for each instance to manage its own content moderation policies, and each instance defederates / block those few instances that are particularly repulsive to them.

Yeah pretty much

A fair concern, but IMO needing something like this is inevitable. Maybe I'm just "early", but I don't think I'm wrong.

I think it would be a major deterrent to new users. I do think it's an interesting concept and would be an interesting experiment on a new instance. I suspect being only supported in Canada would just mean a low number of users though.

I also want people who see my posts to know there's an IRL person behind them and that my account isn't just one sockpuppet of many, though I don't want them to know my IRL identity.

That's reasonable, I'm just not sure that's feasible on this platform. Lemmy is really designed to keep people anonymous. (I don't even have a way to get a user ip address easily.) I also think that's what the community has come to expect, so shifting that would get some pretty mixed responses.

In a way it feels like twitters verified feature, and that makes me wonder if it would work in mastodon

They would just come in via other federated instances. Bots haven't really been a huge issue yet, but it'll be a Fediverse wide one so we need a solution that would scale like that.

I'm also not keen on any sort of pii link to our users, even if it's Canada post holding that data.

If we're not selling user eyeballs or data, do we care if a user maps to a real person?

Pixelfed also has a bit of a different approach on scaling. It favors a larger number of smaller instances, as a way to distribute the load of hosting the photos.

A default config is limited to 1000 users.

Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said many Canadians would want a public statement from the king and they might be mad if that doesn’t happen.

None of us care about the king. What's he supposed to do? England has more than enough problems of their own already.

Windows defender on Windows PC's. Nothing on Linux.

They have a grocery store there. Other basic needs though, no. Not much medical care, dentists, etc.

I switched to whitebird.ca, they seem fine

Chmod works recursively.

What modes exactly are you trying to set? Why do you need different perms based on the file type?

Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.

Power plugs are similar problems. You need 3 wires and you can't risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don't care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.

My dog complains if I don't have at least a back window down, which means the front is also cracked.

Heated seats make it ok.
