I’m not trolling. I read it but the example quote seems generic. Honestly wondering what this provides

It depends on where your VPS physically is and the last name of the persons father hosting it.

Should I donate to Wikipedia? in c/asklemmy

They use most of the money for other activities. I’d look towards those, if you don’t like them don’t waste it.

How should one access their servers when in China if at all? (self.selfhosted)
submitted 12 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) by ComradeMiao to c/selfhosted

Some people my server admin uncle included believe that bringing any device to China automatically compromises it even if you reinstall a new OS. Is this warranted as some random person?

Can I go to my public sites and/or VPN into my servers?

Edit: I go there all the time. Also, I can take these precautions but I can’t expect my family to take them. What about family members phones?

A lot of great replies, thank you! Would love the read more specifics so I can know exactly the threats and my actions

Also, this is not an anti-China post. My field is Chinese related. Just learning more about the hosting side :)

Is there any front end YouTube that can allow me to still comment? (self.selfhosted)
submitted 12 hours ago by ComradeMiao to c/selfhosted
8 comments fedilink
 

Probably a dumb question, thanks for all the front end responses, I’ve been watching using them but want to engage. I really don’t want to keep using Google though!

Or should I just get used to not engaging or maybe bringing videos here and commenting if they’re that interesting.

Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

PSA, instead of buying from EOE in the US, buy from Taobao or Alibaba. (self.ipod)

EOE is what everyone recommends but he is just drop shipping from Chinese manufactures. Can save 90% of the cost!

I’m hoping to get more involved in Lemmy and the iPod community! There is a lot of fun to be had in rebuilding old iPods. I hope to foster that community here. I enjoyed the subreddit but do not see a presence here.
