Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn’t interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.
Now I use AVNC. It’s solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it’s open source! You can get it on FDroid.
It should still work!
I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn’t had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn’t released yet, but when it is, I’ll make sure the deployment is up to date.
Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn’t for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.
This was the point of the protest. Reddit is all over search engine results, especially Google. If people can’t get their answers from a random Reddit search result, the Reddit listings will eventually be deprioritized in favor of other, more reliable sources.
Cloudflare Tunnels are black magic and exactly what you’re looking for:

Free, no need to self host a server somewhere externally. Can even be used for SSH!
There was no judgement, only a settlement. Yuzu is not “illegal.” Nintendo can abuse DMCA and request GitHub take these down, and GitHub will probably listen, but Nintendo would not be “legally in the right” to do so.
I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about this:
I agree with the sentiment here, but all the technologies mentioned allowed us to ship a working application in a timely manner. I think that should always be the first goal. Now that this is out of the way, we can start looking at improving efficiency, security, resilience etc.
“Security Second” is not good messaging for a project like this.
But I’m glad my comment was hilarious to you.
I don’t need or want replication of my private projects to a peer to peer network. That’s just extra bandwidth to and from my server, and bandwidth can be expensive. I already replicate my code to two different places I control, and that’s enough for me.
I’m not sure who Radicle is for, but I don’t think the casual hobbyist looking to self host something like Forgejo would benefit at all from Radicle.
Loading the source code for Radicle on Radicle also seems fairly slow. It seems this distributed nature comes at a speed tradeoff.
With the whole Yuzu thing going on, I can see some benefit to Radicle for high profile projects that may be subject to a takedown. In that respect, it’s a bit like “Tor for Git.”
I suspect that over time, pirate projects and other blatantly illegal activities will make use of Radicle for anti-takedown reasons. But to me, these two projects solve two different problems, for two different audiences, and are not really comparable.
Edit: There is already enough controversy surrounding Radicle, that, if I were someone looking to host a takedown-resistant, anonymous code repository, I would probably be better served hosting an anonymous Forgejo instance on a set of anonymous Njalla domains and VPSes. The blockchain aspect was already a bit odd, and what I’m now seeing from Radicle does not exactly inspire confidence. I don’t think I’ll ever use this.
It was just how the settlement was worded; this team is prevented from distributing “anything that circumvent’s Nintendo’s blah blah,” and Citra was developed by the same team. So, it got taken down all the same :(
Great work, thanks!
Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I’ve got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.
A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.
Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:
https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu
https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra
They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.
Then I’m probably wrong. It’s not clear at all how those apps are doing it though. The API documentation is rough.
It doesn’t seem like the Lemmy API provides any way to tell if a remote instance has downvotes disabled or not.
18 isn’t long enough, better wait until 34
The API that FDroid is using has only just come out.
Not true. Android has supported rootless unattended upgrades at a system level since Android 12 (October 4 2021). That was nearly 2 and a half years ago, so it’s been a while.
This is what Neo Store used. F-Droid only just now got around to supporting this with this recent update.
You are giving it the -d flag. -d means “detached.” There are logs, you are just preventing yourself from seeing them.
Replace the -d with an -i (for interactive) and try again.
Have you completed the podman rootless setup in order to be able to use it? You may need to edit /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid to get containers to run:
More than likely, this might have something to do with podman being unprivileged, and this wanting to bind to port 80 in the container (a privileged port). You may need to specify a --userns flag to podman.
Running in interactive mode will give you the logs you want and will hopefully point you in the right direction.
Ahhh RVC is the right word for this sort of thing. Thanks! It’s crazy that this was a one day project!
Your AI voice in this sounds pretty natural. Did the AI generate this just via text? Or was it “overlayed” to the original V voice? I’ve never really messed with voice AI before, so learning how you trained it well enough to fit right in with a game would be a pretty interesting read! I’ll even take a TL;DR, I know writing takes a while 😅
Wow, this is awesome. Good work!
Were you thinking about writing up a little blog post or something about how you did this?
Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying at first. You’re right, it’s not everything on the instance that gets sent, only those things that federated instances need.
But as a user, unless I run my own instance, I don’t get to decide when my posts or edits get sent out to any federated servers. That’s what I was referring to. All of that stuff gets sent out “like a firehose.”
And over time, as more people on Threads interact with certain ActivityPub instances, the range of communities Threads will be sent updates for might as well be the entire instance. If I block them, that’s just a visual block. My stuff will still be sent to them, and depending on how they set up their federation, my content might be available on “threads.net” as well.
Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.
