Every relationship is a compromise. Family, friendship, romantic... Otherwise, you're just a psychopath.

I don't know why you think that religious and non-religious people can't be together. That very attitude tells me that I would never want to go on a date with you. My wife and I have been in such a marriage for 15 years, we have two children, and it works just fine. In my opinion, the problem is the fanatics; they are the cancer of this world, and when I see that someone is a fanatic, it tells me to run away from them.

So, when we say that's good news, did we breach copyrighted material?

What's a website you've heard of (besides Lemmy) that you're sure nobody else here has? in c/[email protected]

AI: It sounds like you might be thinking of "The People's Republic of Canada," a satirical website that depicted a fictional communist version of Canada. It featured humorous content, including fake news articles, propaganda, and other comedic takes on Canadian culture and politics.

Also AI: The domain for "The People's Republic of Canada" was typically found at prc.ca. It was a humorous site that parodied a communist version of Canada.

No, I'm not an expert in climate change, which is why I don't talk about it and don't push anyone's agenda. Maybe other non-experts should do the same. But it doesn't matter.

Of course, I also use LibreWolf, Mull... but we expose ourselves to security risks this way (as is currently happening with Firefox and Mull), and besides that, you have to trust projects more and more whose code is not reviewed as thoroughly.

Then you will love this documentary. It even mentions Germany a couple of times.

It seems that many people here are not aware of how much Mozilla depends on Google, so switching to them is a small consolation. Maybe it's time to support the development of new engines like Servo and Ladybird more. Servo even recently released an Android version (currently not very usable, but I downloaded it just to show support).

Germany, dyndns and port forwarding (self.selfhosted)

Hello,

I have a Nextcloud server installed at home that works well on my LAN network, but when I try to make the server accessible via a DynDNS service, I cannot connect to it. The request doesn't even reach my server. My question is whether the router immediately blocks the request, because when I set the router to be accessible (it has separately that option), I can connect without any issues over dyndns url. Could my ISP (O2) be blocking it? I can confirm that it's not a firewall issue, and it's also not because I'm connected to the same WiFi as the server. It's not a port forwarding issue either, as I've gone through all possible options. My router is a Fritzbox 6660, and there are no logs indicating that a request has even come through.

My second question is whether this is even allowed in Germany? Also, I've noticed that my ISP rarely changes my IP address; in fact, I haven't seen it change at all in the past few months, which is strange because in my home country, it changed every 24 hours.

Edit: First, thank you all for your help. I will try your suggestions over the course of this week or month (due to time-related issues :) and will report back with the results. Since I am clearly a noob when it comes to self-hosting and I plan to have only a Nextcloud server for personal use, what is the best way to secure the system in these situations and allow only certain devices to access it over the external network? (if I ever manage to access it at all)

Psychedelic substances (self.autism)

There is a testing clinic near me that deal with treating depression using psychedelic substances. I'm wondering if any of you have tried something similar, referring to psychedelic substances, and if so, how did it go? In the past, I occasionally experimented with cannabis, but over time, it didn't sit well with me anymore. Does anyone have such experiences?
