Thats a good point - jeez. Yea, I don't want to miss Beehaw; I don't want to miss anyone... thanks for the tip.
OK; understood and FULLY agree with your registration vs. others that can be gamed by a script kiddy. That question, and response, was part of the reason I chose Beehaw, too - I get it, thanks.
I get it that hiring new moderators would take some work; and I wouldn't suggest or support just letting anyone doso - like ME... I think I'm too new to be 'trusted' to doso - but it seems like you have many members of the Beehaw community that might want to help, and fit.
Thanks - I'll check the list of LemmyNet sites and pick the largest one - I suppose lemmy.world is the 'WHQ' and might best fit what I'm wanting... I prefer Beehaw, but since I'm new the LemmyNet I want to see ALL of whats going on - I want to see the influx of Reddit users... I want to see where Lemmy lacks and watch it as it continues to be developed.
I respect ya'll choice to defederate, I personally think you should just ask for the community to help w/ your work; regardless of how you try to slow LemmyNet down, when its more successful your jobs are going to grow exponentially. I'd prefer if you didn't do this; and think you'd be in a better position if you simply deal with LemmyNets growth...
Thanks for the quick reply, and I aren't going anywhere - if welcome - but I'll find a fully-federated LemmyNet to bridge the gap. :P
Ask for help; community.
Hmmm; I am new to LemmyNet AND Beehaw.org; but have been falling in love with the platforms. However, I do want to see 'all' of LemmyNet.
What is the lemmyworld 'open registration policy? I ask because all I needed to supply to register HERE is a username/password. ??? Isn't that open registration?
Second, why not allow more moderators - please don't feel like you have to go over old stuff... I'm going to read thru some of Beehaw.org's PAST posts that I'm sure talk about this issue - but it seems like theres a great Beehaw.org community - if yer having issue w/ moderation, hire moderators; I bet the 'cost' is pretty cheap.
Last; what LemmyNet community should one join if they WANT to see the entire LemmyNet? I came aboard Beehaw.org BECAUSE I agreed w/ most of what the site stands for; but since I'm really getting into Lemmy I think I want to be where 'everything' is - good and bad.
Thanks for the explanation - even if confusing for a new user.
Agreed - I don't think I've been on a Tornado BBS software; but I still code in Mystic BBS's PASCAL-like MPL language. :P
Hold my beer! LEMMINGS
I only know enough code to break things, but I wouldn't mind working on some documentation - I'll go read what Lemmy needs; thanks for reminding me that anyone can chip in.
Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field... I still get looks when I whip out a 'gameboy' to do some actual work. :P
I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me...
I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.
I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P
Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!
LOL... it'll be easy, I tell ya!
So I dove in this afternoon, thinking I had all the info I needed to easily get a setup w0rking... I changed my port forwards to the domain2.com machine - the one running apache2 on a webiste; leaving the bitwarden.domain1.com not seeing traffic. Then, I created a new virtual host file on the domain2.com machine;
cat bitwarden.domain1.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bitwarden.domain1.com
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.155/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.155/
ServerAdmin paulie420@domain1.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =bitwarden.domain1.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
And ran certbot to get https certs - certification would only be on the domain2.com machine; all proxied data would be sent over http, but I figured that was OK as its just me accessing the domain1.com service.
BUT alas, the setup didn't work; I have some suspicions... bitwarden is running inside a docker container, so... I dunno if that has something to do with how its listening, and its running nginx; what I thought was that apache2 would simply send all traffic from the bitwarden.domain1.com domain over to my local IP 10.0.0.155 machine and that machine would just pick it up simple pimple and display to the user going to that domain. Another thought - maybe its because Docker/Bitwarden HAS https in that container - ohhhh, thats a thought; however it still didn't function correctly before I ran certbot on the domain2.com setup.
UGH... more to come - I'm trying options. :/ Grrrrrr. :P
PS; posting code in Lemmy doesn't work so great, does it? I used a backtick but didn't get the results I'm accustomed to...
Xibalba is actually the WHQ BBS for Enigma 1/2 BBS software... I agree w/ you that Enigma.5 is super rad - in fact, NuSkooler had been working on some integration w/ Mastodon altho I don't think that feature has made it to the codebase just yet...
I'm no pro here, but I think the underlying 'issue' is that soon these types of sites will be driven by AI. Mods will just look over the content, but sadly I think the days of mods being the most intelligent person in the room are numbered.
I don't trust AI output/answers today, but tomorrow they're going to be spot-on and answer better than we can. :/
I think the Inc. [corporations] know the writing on the wall and are just getting everyone ready for the inevitable asap.
What say you?
I like the Fediverse b/c its more connected than our old forums of yesteryear, but without big tech breathing down out necks...
