How sure are we that @OptimusPrime@lemmy.ml isn't this very robot?

Copy the URL of the community and put it in your instance's searchbar, might take a second to appear.
I was unaware you could disable that until now, I haven't taken a deeper look into peertube in a while so it may have been before the feature. They added the client toggle about 2 years ago
That does make me more positive on it. I did some testing now visiting instances and it does appear the vast majority have it enabled by default (everyone I looked at) and the warning message about it only appears when you're watching a video so too little too late for me. The warning message is also just a tiny bar along the bottom, I didn't even notice it for a while and I thought there wasn't any warnings, if you fullscreen right after starting the video you'd never see it.
Definitely better than I initially stated but I still think the P2P part needs more explicit opt in with the possibility of throttling connections if they decline to be fair to the admins.
The only other alternative is something like https://odysee.com/ which is based on LBRY a crypto so not exactly my 1st choice but it does have the benefit of offloading the P2P portion to the service hoster. Modern video content is so large that it makes serving and storage of the content a massive overhead so I understand the need for P2P for sure but I think it should be more explicit in how it happens.
Well I stand corrected, thanks for the info! Definitely the better option to default too.
How the fuck is peertube privacy compliant especially when the gov is running it? You're sharing your IP with groups of strangers and the government everytime you watch a video. You've went from one corporate point of failure all the way to handing your data directly the government and everyone with internet access theoretically which includes the corporations!
I've wanted to setup a video site for a while since DMT extraction videos keep getting removed along with other chemistry stuff but the P2P nature of peertube stops me. People don't know that's what's happening when using peertube they are just visiting a site in their mind.
You can view users from mastodon I know that!
Lemmy would be great for that. Already has all the configs so you can make the instance private and use the registration application for access codewords.
There is a rumor that admins can read your direct messages. This is essentially true. In essence, if someone hosts their own instance they can always look in their own database. But the general working of the software is that admins can only read if someone reports content to them. Anyway, this is a good reminder to never use direct messages for sensitive information, on any social media system. And yes, dishonest people can also start Mastodon communities. Awareness is good for making informed choices.
Glad he called it out (although quite mildly) because this is something the general public won't be ready for in social media. I say this is mild because at the worst end of the scale a malicious/racist/violent person who hates certain types of people could setup a server just for that and let it run as a paradise while collecting data on all the people who join. Email addresses, IP, local groups/meetups and if they were really motivated could probably turn off metadata stripping, literal goldmine of data if you run an instance
I'm not too keen on this whole SPREAD OUT AND JOIN THE INSTANCE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU because that sounds like a great way to force people into the hands of shitty (or as mentioned malicious) admins who don't care if they shut down their instance one day without warning.
I think it's more prudent to advise people to organize with their group and start their own instance which gives them more protections. Know your admins, a big benefit of the fediverse.
So what are trying to do? Remove the image, the container and/or the volume? Just a specific one or everything for lemmy?
Would also be helpful to know your end goal is here.
Run docker container inspect <container-name> and it will list any relevant file paths.
What is offensive is just a personal perspective so you're gunna get mixed answers. Ultimately it will always come down to what the person meant by it and how the other person perceives it, by default that is a mixed bag of emotions and reactions.
I'll note that I do something I call synonym panic where I get to a keyword in a sentence and I kind of blank, start struggling for words then start cycling through all the possible words I could use it and often land on some pretty odd sentences. Referring to the 'past' as the 'back-timies' as a prime example or more commonly just saying the 'stuff' or 'things' because I'm afraid I'm about to choose the wrong word.
You can use VoIP with Signal so it's not much of an issue.
