Thank you for thinking forward. That’s much appreciated.
I’m surprised to find there isn’t much of a delay to loading the data from Oz. I’m sure I remember it being horrific not so long ago.

I don’t know, I’m not familiar with kbin at all. Good to know I’m not alone in that thinking, though.
It would have helped me. My instance isn’t in the same hemisphere as me!
Make it look like a centralised system initially. Provide a portal to a pre vetted/chosen instance that is accepting new members in their locale/country, that is the same for everyone.
Update: This (above) is badly written. I’m trying to say every potential new member gets presented with the same (pretend centralised) portal that is in fact an (valid long-lived) instance local to the individual potential for them to sign up with. So two local users in Oz get given a proxy to the instance local to them, and a user in Blighty an instance local to that person. The decentralised Lemmy looks centralised, but isn’t. The proxy front end should explain that they’re joining their local instance and it’s like a network of little affiliated clubs that can see each others posts globally. they log in for the first time it will become clear.
It’s late, I’m tired, sorry everyone. Is that any better?
I think it’s confusing (the reverse of what they’re used to) for a newbie who have been bought up in a centralised internet with single front ends of all the big players to be presented with little instances to join to access the whole.
What happened to libdvdcss? Is that not a thing anymore?
From what I remember - it’s been a minute - there were many encryption keys that the publishing houses used to encrypt the DVDs released to the wild and they were packaged up in this codec, when they were found.

What’s the deal with Firefox mobile (Android)? Couldn’t see the setting.
Thank-you!
Phew! Thought I was having an old-fcuk moment.
Have a good’un.
I’m being dim. I can’t find it by searching for that community even.
Clicking on the link in the main message does not help.
Throw me a bone, please.
There’s a small pihole community (300 odd) on Lemmy but I don’t one how to drop a link to a community quite yet. Well, there’s actually two but the second isn’t gaining any traction.
I guess you were referring to the team though, which probably are not on here.
Fare well internet stranger!
[help me out please: add-ons are the Home Assistant thing that you can’t use with Home Assistant in a container? Extensions are the Home Assistant add-on that you can … ?]
Almost everything is WiFi, I can’t remember the thing that isn’t.
I’m really looking forward to Home Assistant; I have to learn to use containers first.
Thank-you most kindly for your imputus. Very well received. 😁
That’s very well received. Thank-you.
I have only a small place but being without some items would be disconcerting. Most of my set-up is in Tuya/Smart Life on WiFi.
I’m trying to learn podman/containers to make it possible.
Good luck!
Answered my own question: Yes. I’ve put the various anti Reddit spam in ublock so not really necessary.
Much rather have addy.io than Firefox Relay. I used the beta here in the UK and moved on.
Don’t know what oldlander is; directs to old.reddit?
Thank-you ! 😁
Second vote for Niagara. Admittedly I haven’t tried other third party launchers. [Pixel 7 Pro owner who balked at the standard Pixel screen on sight in a way that I hadn’t previously with any phone]
Thank-you. Question answered.
Sorry to have bothered everyone!
I hosted my email on a home Exchange server last century before finally settling on Zoho so can sympathise!
I should also say that my setup is backed with Google cloud DNS.
I can’t honestly say that I’ve had any problems with Zoho collecting/sending email for years. It’s the general admin side that causes consternation - adding a domain, forwarding, lists, where the f I set up an email address!
Hosting domain email for other customers is really easy too should the need arise.
Zoho mail has a domain hosting platform for email. About £60 pa in dollars for my setup. Pricing varies on the number of accounts not the number if domains. I have two accounts, personal and business, and a control admin account. The domains I host vary according to the businesses I run. I funnel each domains email to one of the two accounts and reply with the appropriate domain easily. Personal email is masked with Addy.io mostly.
They deal with the email very well. There was a time that they really didn’t and the system went up and down like a tarts knickers.
The front end is ok. They play with it a lot and there are many screens pushing some shit or other before you actually are allowed to get to the inbox. The inbox setup is excellent with all the expected functionality and toys and many toys appearing monthly.
Typical of Indian continent companies, as a Brit who has spent much of his life frustrated on the phone to “Dave” from Mumbai with a really really thick accent, Zoho don’t really seem to understand concepts properly, so their passkeys setup doesn’t work with Bitwarden. TOTP 2FA cannot be just pasted in (from Bitwarden again) because they’ve tried to be flash with the input field and one has to click on a specific place first. The support team try really hard, but their ability to grasp the problem and fix it is lacking before some other buzzword catches marketing’s attention and they add yet another screen to click through or subvert the problem somewhere else. Their help knowledge base is enormous, well documented but unorganized and they don’t archive stuff that has been superceded, so be careful.
That said I’ve been using them for well over a decade and have no plans to change.
Running your own mail server ceased to be a hobby thing when RBLs came in. Use a provider with the resources to do the hard/cumbersome stuff.
I’d give Zoho mail an easy 7/10. And it’s cheap. Zoho invoice is great too.
If you’re using Obsidian for free then maybe try the built-in link which you’ll find in the built-in options I think. It’s a cost option but cheap. I think it eliminates the problems I’m having (below). I’m stubborn.
I’m not having problem with Syncthing, bar dealing with the stupid attempts to deal with deleted files that Android leaves laying around. I have
.stignore
files with.trashed-*
and.trash/
entries on the Linux machine. Still having problems with_
ed directories though and Syncthing conflict files when the sync isn’t fast enough when I switch between the two.Sometimes it takes Syncthing a while to work out the best route between the two nodes. Sometimes days. It used to send my packets to the internet before letting them back into the local network. Eventually it found a more direct route between them. I’m not sure but I think it has something to do with local IPv6; I’m talking out of my ass though.
I’m not affiliated to Syncthing or Obsidian besides being a happy user.
I have decent battery life on my Pixel 7 Pro. I have the respect battery save setting on so syncing stops at 20% or so I think.
