I had to explain it generally / “in a nutshell” since OP didn’t provide any example data.

Fake bans aren’t a thing, but banning from an instance doesn’t necessarily ban them from all communities (just the ones they’ve interact with up to the time of the ban).

This means someone on instance B, who is banned from instance A, can still interact with communities on instance A via instance B if instance B was not informed the person was banned from the community.

However, a user from instance B, banned from instance A, interacting with a community on instance A via instance B will not have their content federated via instance A (the home instance of the community). Thus, only other users on instance B should be able to see that user’s submissions.

Clear as mud?

Edit: Maybe I can clear it up with an example.

Let’s say you and your friend are both on lemmy.cafe. I see your friend around in the Lemmyverse from my instance, and they’re violating a bunch of my local rules to the point they merit a ban. Your friend has not interacted directly with any communities on my instance, so when I ban them, no community bans are federated.

You and your friend are both subscribed to, say, !30rock@dubvee.org. Even though your friend is banned from my instance, they can still post/comment there from lemmy.cafe since that instance has no idea they’re banned from mine; non-local bans aren’t federated, and since they hadn’t interacted with that community prior to me banning them, no community bans were sent out.

However, none of the posts/comments they make to lemmy.cafe’s local copy of that community will be federated by my instance (where the 30 Rock community lives). Thus, only users on lemmy.cafe can see what the banned user has posted.

Yeah, I don’t think I can recall anything else like the 32X. Like you said, it was basically a standalone system that used the Genesis for all of its I/O (didn’t it also need its own power cable, too, rather than drawing from the cartridge slot on the Genesis?)

I think the closest we got, aside from the memory expansions, were things like the SuperFX chip in some SNES games. StarFox and a few other games used those, and it did some co-processing inside the cartridge. It didn’t turn the SNES into an N64, but it did allow it do more things than it was originally designed to do.

To be fair, the N64 did get the memory expansion pack which some games required. It used the extra RAM for higher resolution, better draw distance, and more detailed textures.

The N64 also had a hard drive add-on in Japan, and the NES had a floppy drive (also in Japan).

I’m content with the path history has taken. The Sega Tower of Power seemed awkward to me. Granted, you didn’t have to have every add-on installed at the same time, but a lot of people did.

There’s a community for Dark Matter now, BTW: !darkmatter@sopuli.xyz

Checks out, at least in my case.

I self-host my email and pretty much every other cloud service I’d otherwise be using. My Gmail account is literally a spam catcher address, so everything there and elsewhere I haven’t already deleted is 100% crap.

Yeah, then I guess I’ll need to keep looking. The hardware can be great, but not when I can’t do what I want with it. Thanks for the insight.

XDA does show some people are able to bootloader unlock and root (which is basically all I need), so I may keep tabs on it and go from there.

I’d considered the Razr but was uncertain on the durability of it. Reviews were about 50/50 last I read.

That’s awesome you mentioned using it closed most of the time. I’m tired of the “tall, skinny rectangle” form factor (and not being able to use it one-handed despite having not-small hands lol). Since smaller phones seem to be extinct, it’s cool there’s a middle ground in being able to use it that way.

I do need to make sure I can find one that’s bootloader unlockable. Kind of a hard requirement for me and necessary to de-google it to my satisfaction. It’s not listed as supported by Lineage, but I’ll browse XDA and see what they’ve been able to do with it.

Thanks!

I have a single Nginx setup which is the frontend for all my web services. So I only need to deploy it there (and to its HA partner). My renewal script just scp’s it to the secondary and does an nginx -s reload on both.

I do generate separate certs/keys for my non-web servers, but there’s only two of those.

You could also, if you wanted, just generate one cert and distribute it and its key to everything with a script or other automation tool (Ansible is what I used to use).

Is there a way I can get Let’s Encrypt to dole out a wildcard certificate

Yep. Just specify the domains yourdomain.com and *.yourdomain.com in the certbot request. Wildcard domains require the DNS-based challenge, but you’ve said you’re already good there. You don’t technically need the apex domain (yourdomain.com) but I always add it since I do have services running there.

Any subdomains under the wildcard can use internal DNS or internal IPs on the public DNS (I do the former, but the latter works too).

I used to run an internal CA, and it wasn’t too hard to setup a CA and distribute my root cert. Except on mobile devices. On Android it was easy, but there was a persistent warning that my network traffic could be intercepted (which is true when there’s a custom root cert installed), but it since it was my cert, it got annoying seeing that all the time. Not sure if Apple devices can even do that, but regardless, it wasn’t practical for friends who wanted to use my self-hosted services to install a custom cert when they were over.

Oooh!

I’ve been rocking a de-googled but aging CAT S22 Flip since last August (low-end android smartphone in a flip phone form factor). Absolutely love it but sad there is no clear successor when I have to eventually replace it. It’s basically the same concept as this phone.

Sadly, this is not a “new” model. He bought it used on eBay, it’s got similar specs to my S22, and only runs Android 12. However, that screen is quite nice and would be a huge upgrade from the S22. The unfortunate conclusion is that there is still no clear successor for my S22 unless I want a slightly/barely less out of date phone and go with this one.

“Don’t Look Up”

Just gouging us. Even on the 3DS before they shut the shop down, digital download games were the same price as buying them on a cart.

hackaday.com mostly.

Everything else is “big tech adds [anti-feature], shoves AI more places no one asked for”.

Not just France. Saying that in the US, too.

Yes!

I was really hoping you’d edited the subtitle to have him say “Nice Beverly” lol
