They absolutely won’t have better reach. Mastodon is significantly smaller than both Twitter and Bluesky.

Where do you think the money to pay them came from?

Right. Or acting or filming or editing or…

Also agreed. OP is going to find they’re spending more time setting up some system, entering data, and stopping to use it instead of just putting everything in a box labeled “kitchen” and unpacking it in the kitchen when they get to the new place.

Some protocols, like ICMP, don’t have the concept of ports at all!

Oh if they don’t even have support, yeah I would have moved away a long time ago.

Oh I thought you meant it just doesn’t reply to DDNS updates. If it doesn’t even reply to DNS queries, yeah that’s a big issue. What did their support have to say about it?

Generally, the admins. I don’t know if kbin/mbin are different, but on most platforms the admins don’t see what’s going on in each community unless someone brings it to their attention.

Does your IP address really change that often?

That was just Rooki on lemmy.world. He’s already got a bad rep as it is. Nobody else cared that much, especially on other instances.

Flexibility. Maybe they get a hosting package that includes domain registration and hosting, but they can’t put anything else under that name.

Guarantee? You’d have to open it up and disable the cellular radio. The OS can override any settings you make.

I would just turn off media uploads entirely. It’s not worth the risk or disk space.

How is this PC gaming? Are people playing games on the NAS?

Yes, Radarr and the rest of the *arr stack.

This is after the voice actor for the vortigaunts in HL2 and Ep1, Louis Gossett Jr, died earlier this year.

Will they find a new one? I think they’re not planning on releasing more Half-Life games.

It is a marketing problem.

No.

In that they’re a single organization, yes, but I’m a single person with significantly fewer resources. Non-availability is a significantly higher risk for things I host personally.

I don’t self-host it, I just use archive.org. That makes it available to others too.
