What's the saying? If you can't tell if it's ignorance or malice, it's probably the former?

however, with all of these points, even if it is ignorance, the lying about encryption (even though I don't really use it) is upsetting. That plus the other lies I've seen them pull is enough to make me consider switching to something else.

Got any recs? Lol

Ah, that would make sense. I could definitely see that being annoying, especially considering the sheer number of users on that instance.

What's the reason for defederating from them? Aren't they like the original Masto instance? What kind of moderation issues are going on there?

Fair point. I can't really think of any games that have done that, either. Interesting that there haven't been more physics sandbox style open worlds, come to think of it....

There are two distinct things I could want when searching for stuff on [Insert Search Engine Here]:

• Niche "Expert" Opinion: If I am trying to figure out what maple syrup to buy, I am not going to go to someone's advertised maple syrup blog with sponsored posts and a bajillion ads. I am going to go to r/maplesyrup. While they might all be snobby dudes with highly opinionated takes, I at least know it's from people who care enough to be angry about maple syrup on reddit. And most of the time, they give good advice that will point me towards an informed purchase.

• Troubleshooting: Reddit has great troubleshooting threads imo. If I threw my issue into the search engine, and I didnt get a Stack Overflow response, I could add reddit and someone will have at least asked a relevant question before. Sooooooo many of my issues have been assisted in the people asking questions on reddit.

Both of these things I think needs to be replicated elsewhere, especially the Niche "Experts". I would love for my searches to end in "lemmy" or "kbin" or whatever ends up winning, as long as its a federated platform

It took me 3 attempts at starting The Witcher before I eventually got through it. I had just came off of Dark Souls 3 combat, so the combat in Witcher was especially clunky feeling. Eventually I moved into a new home, had nothing else to do, and proceeded to do nothing but play the game for 50 hours until I beat the game lol. I would say the story is worth it, but I agree that its kinda tough to get into.

it's pretty cobbled together, but ive got a docker swarm that runs the following:

• Portainer to allow for fairly easy CI/CD worflows with Gitlab
• Plex Stack
  • Plex
  • Radarr
  • Sonarr
  • Jackett
  • qbittorrent
  • VPN
• Deemix for downloading music
• Authentik for SSO
• AWX for my automation
• Budibase for a local Go club I run
• A discord bot setup with CI/CD for a friend
• Foundry VTT
• a gitlab runner for local CI jobs
• An comic strip to RSS scraper I wrote
• MongoDB for Budibase
• Nextcloud
• Onlyoffice server
• PiHole
• Shlink URL shortener
• Traefik and Caddy for reverse proxies
• Uptime Kuma for basic monitoring
• Minecraft Server
• Ark Server
• Frigate NVR

On its own Pi4 I have Homeassistant

What things would that be? Im trying to think of something that hasnt been replicated / improved in another game, but I am drawing a blank personally.

Embarrassing 😭 lmao. Set it up too quickly. Well ill move it over and update the links

Updated the post with a full link incase the otherone doesnt work. The first one seems inconsistent, but the 2nd should always work.

Sure, I can give it my best shot! I may be a bit biased myself toward the CoS, so that's worth keeping in mind.

The Church of Satan is the original form of satanism (They consider themselves to be the only form of satanism). They are based on the teachings of Anton LaVey, who wrote The Satanic Bible in 1966. It is a religion formed on individualism and ritual, treating yourself as your own god, and generally has a philosophy that they adhere to. Generally, the church does not take any form of political stance itself, leaving that up to their members to decide where each of them reside. It is a religion that can apply to all spectrums of someone's opinions.

The Satanic Temple, is a leftist political activism group. They are the ones who are suing in all of these court cases you hear about. They take a very firm left stance on human rights in general, which I can commend. But in terms of an actual religion, their philosophy is pretty thin, with their tenants consisting of pretty common sense notions.

My personal issue with TST is the alleged accusations of their founder, Lucien Greaves, and a friend of his, being pretty bigoted individuals. From running a eugenics website for several years, to running a podcast where they spew hateful remarks at pretty much anyone you can think of. Also, the recent allegations that the administration is covering for sexual abusers, and have been hitting people with SLAPP suits when they come forward.

If you're interested, you can read up on someone who is getting SLAPP suited by them here
