  • Damn, I guess you’re right. It’s a shame I don’t have the money to move.

    I’ll have to abandon my elderly family, put my pets up for adoption, and stow away on a local fishing boat for a few months. I guess it’s the only way.

    …but seriously, this is my point. Yes, this is all bad, but what do you want me to do? Being able to just jump ship is a privilege I do not have. If the building is burning, then I’m not getting out in time.

    You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.

    I’m not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you’d need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don’t have that kind of free money.

    And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your “target” countries? Do you have plans for how you’ll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?

    If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of “What are you waiting for, run!!!” is way more entitled than people seem to think.

    The guy you were replying to is saying “People hate GrapheneOS because it requires a Pixel,” they were not saying “everyone in the world should be using a Pixel” as you seem to have mistaken.

    You’re getting very fired up and heated in the comments here… maybe take a break?



  • Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn’t interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.

    Now I use AVNC. It’s solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it’s open source! You can get it on FDroid.


  • It should still work!

    I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn’t had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn’t released yet, but when it is, I’ll make sure the deployment is up to date.

    Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn’t for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.

    This was the point of the protest. Reddit is all over search engine results, especially Google. If people can’t get their answers from a random Reddit search result, the Reddit listings will eventually be deprioritized in favor of other, more reliable sources.


  • Forgejo is Gitea. It was a soft fork of Gitea, and more recently a hard fork.

    You can read about why they hard forked, and decide for yourself if it’s worth switching, but the consensus is that Forgejo is in better hands than Gitea.

    Currently it’s easy to migrate from Gitea to Forgejo, but the longer you wait and the more it diverges from Gitea, the harder it will become to migrate.

    If you like the Forgejo direction and think it’s in better hands than Gitea, you might want to consider migrating sooner rather than later. All of your data should remain intact as it’s essentially a drop in replacement. This should only take you a few minutes if you’re using the Docker version of Gitea.
