  • Websockets are often used for quality of life features like notifications and websites that are dynamic without needing to be refreshed. Almost went website with any kind of chat will use WS for example. Turning it off will make web browsing a little more annoying.

    However websockets are also sometimes used for anti-fraud related software that can also leak information you may deem private. Disabling websockets might prevent that data from getting out but of course all this depends on your threat model.





  • The whole lemmynsfw instance. Don’t need that distraction here.

    Text filters - any keywords for news topics that I’ve had enough of (mostly reoccurring political topics)

    Weird meme shit from some strange community (or something that is just not my generation) - block the whole community.

    A poster who’s engaging in bad faith - blocked, never to be heard from again.

    I also set my mobile client (Connect) to mark posts that I’ve scrolled by as read, and to only show unread posts.

    I filter by All / Top 6 hours

    My experience on Lemmy is getting better and better, and I feel no need to doom scroll here.



  • Love to see so much support here in asklemmy. This community is really great.

    I went through divorce at the age of 27 and is one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. It is a lot like a death. Obviously not of a person but a dream and perhaps an identity. It’s the type of thing that can feel like a personal failure and really leave you feeling hopeless and in despair.

    In the first months I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect that the feelings will just go away or even lose their potency, and they can be extremely powerful. Perhaps they just become muted more and more as time passes and you fill your life with other people and activities. Hell, to this day (now I’m 45) I still think about her occasionally and wish it could have been a different outcome, but so much of my life since that time never could have occurred had I stuck with her. In other words I’ve come to learn that while I’m grateful for the good times we had, I’m also grateful that it ended and I too could move on.

    The most important thing you have to do now is find out who you are as a single man - and as a human - by nurturing and taking care of this new found sense of loneliness. Find your new identity. I think you really have to lean into the pain you’re feeling and express it deliberately. Let it move and let it get out of you.

    It especially helps to fill your time with activities you love that also nurture you. Maybe that’s being outdoors, maybe that’s gaming, whatever it is you know it better than anybody.

    We really need healthy people around to support us during this kind of time and it’s a shame that the people you thought would be there aren’t. Maybe they can still be your buddies but now you know they’re not the type to really have your back when the shit hits the fan. But those kind of people are out there and now it’s your mission to go figure out where they are.








  • Having electric stability issues this week in Bangkok - several 2-3 hour outages, which are too long for a UPS to cover the gap. I have several mid range but older PCs running docker, virtualbox, etc for various things including a postfix server for the family email, immich, QBittorrent, pihole, paperless, huly, postiz, a Minecraft bedrock server, a flightradar24 ads-b collector, and a variety of other homegrown projects.

    Thinking about getting some or most of this over to a service like hetzner, perhaps even splurging on a baremetal dedicated system.

    Recently I’ve been reading about/trying to learn qemu and proxmox, but don’t understand them yet. Is that where it’s at for managing a bunch of your own VMs? Or kubernetes/k8s?

    I’ve been a little out of the loop for a few years and of course coming back up to speed IT wise judge take weeks. Looking for recommendations on offloading my home stuff to a cloud that I control.
