  • NSFW does not equal exclusively porn.

    I’m not looking to block out gore or triggering topics, particularly news stories such as what’s come out of Portland Minnesota lately. Hell some of my own posts are NSFW, but I’ve never posted porn.

    Disabling/blocking all NSFW entirely is not an acceptable solution when it’s only porn I’m trying to not be flooded with.


    At its peak, before instance blocking was a thing: 4/5 posts under the ‘All’ feed were porn. I posted a picture quite a while back (I’m not gonna go dig it out, but it’s in my comment history), from before we could block an instance, with just a massive list of communities in my block list almost entirely from lemmynsfw. It was way over the top.

    Now I can just block an instance or community that dedicates itself to porn and all is well. I still don’t think that content belongs on a platform like this. If people want porn, they can go to the MANY sites that serve porn; it shouldn’t be combined with your daily scrolling through news, current events, and funny cat videos*. But we have tools to work around it; so, moving on.

    * heavily paraphrasing for general everyday content that an average person may share with friends/family.

    Edit: I have no idea why I said Portland… I meant Minnesota, referring to Renee Good and Alex Pretti.





  • If you have a static IP address, you can just use A records for each subdomain you want to use and not really worry about it.

    If you do not have a static IP address, you may want to use one single A record, usually your base domain (example.com), then CNAME records for each of your subdomains.

    A CNAME record is used to point one name at another name, in this case your base domain. This way, when your IP address changes, you only have to change the one A record and all the CNAME records will point at that new IP as well.

    Example:

    A example.com 1.2.3.4

    CNAME sub1.example.com example.com

    CNAME sub2.example.com example.com

    You’d then use a tool like ACME.sh to automatically update that single A record when your IP changes.


  • I think it’s even bigger than that. It seems this particular law allows pulling the Feds in as well, bypassing their immunity.

    In this case, the ACLU’s attorneys argue that federal officers worked closely with the county sheriff and city police officers to terrorize families at the racetrack raid, and were therefore part of a conspiracy.

    Defendants in the Idaho case include officials from ICE and the FBI
