How is the name pronounced? All-ovah like all over? Uh lova, like Chicago for a lover? Sounds like the name of a prescription drug.

As a cybersecurity pro who primarily deals with email security right now (in the sense that there is basically none)

Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn't have thought of it straight away at all.

Yeah Relay works still and is going in a subscription model

The exposure is still greater than the zero that currently exists. If only 1% see the stuff from the smaller instances and figure out what's up, they'll jump. That's better than the current near 0. There's not really a scenario where it reduces the activity here any further, only improves it.

EXACTLY! It only benefits us because it hugely increases the exposure of the fediverse to the outside world so people who ARE interested can merely jump over. It makes the fediverse more interesting for people like me who can "live" here and access the content I want.

Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don't personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That's not their decision to make.

Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason

Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

It's real hard to break a habit that's been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I'm trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc

Sounds crazy but I absolutely love it. There's a market for this somewhere!

 
 
 
 

One quirky detail of my build: it has a tiered storage system through FuzeDrive. What that means is I have an 8 TB shucked hard drive and a 128 GB SSD "fuzed" together through some old software by Enmotus that is no longer available for purchase iirc. This means the SSD acts as a cache for my huge 8 TB drive. As a result, I can just install basically any game I want to my massive 8 TB drive without worrying about space, and if I play that game more than once or twice, it'll automatically move to the SSD portion for faster access.

Some ideas:

  • Is this using used hardware that has a story?
  • Got an unusual configuration that isn't normally seen (Dual RTX 3070 for example)
  • Did you paint it or add special lighting?
