I’m considering setting up a server for various uses, advice? in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] elbowmacaroni@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I had an old MacBook Pro laying around so I put docker on it for fun.

it's currently running an apache web server for me (with php) and has been rock solid. (I used to use mamp.)

I also run homebridge for my Apple Home on the mbp. homebridge uses brew (from brew.sh) for install/dependencies/etc.

Haven’t tried this yet, but it’s on my list of things to do…use your hosts file to dump the ad sites to 0.0.0.0. Compliments of Steven Black

Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you? (raddle.me)
 

Federated services have always had privacy issues but I expected Lemmy would have the fewest, but it's visibly worse for privacy than even Reddit.

  • Deleted comments remain on the server but hidden to non-admins, the username remains visible
  • Deleted account usernames remain visible too
  • Anything remains visible on federated servers!
  • When you delete your account, media does not get deleted on any server
