Bridge mode on the ISP router is what you want. Then it just passes through the internet connection to the internal router on the edge of your network. It's what I do with Comcast.
No, I don't think it's like HD-DVD vs Blue-Ray. You don't have an industry which has to make the choice between one or the other and a larger industry that buys into one technology or the other for their content.
You have individual users making up their mind based on what software they like more and if they get enough out of what that software offers. If it were HD-DVD vs Bluray then the power would be in the end user's control....but it never was. The more people decide to use a piece of software, the more developers you have developing for that software. The more devs you have the better it gets and the more people you get liking the software and using it. There is room for people choosing to use different pieces of software, and it's made even easier by the fact that they interoperate due to federation.
I have both Bluray and HD-DVD. I have quite a few more Bluray than HD-DVD because of course that's the way the industry went. I had both pretty early on because I knew there would be a time when the industry decided the winner and the loser would go on clearance sales. I picked up a bunch of my HD-DVD collection in those clearance sales. To that industry comparison, I do not have a lemmy account, nor do I want one.
In the end my entire Bluray, HD-DVD, and DVD collection is all digital and on my media server now, along with a lot of streaming stuff. Don't really know how that'll relate to this move in social media platforms.
All I know is...I found a home here after leaving Reddit for good (as of yesterday my account is gone).
My initial move away was to Lemmy.world. But after finding some pretty glaring bugs including one that seemed to be a big security bug, I decided to delete my account there and try this out. I'm happy here. It's not perfect, but it's not broken as I found with my Lemmy experience.
I honestly don't care where people end up, so long as it's federated, open, and welcoming of everyone that have good intentions.
Didn't give the billionaire my money so yeah it took like 10 minutes for me to get the rate exceeded message.
PDS is a user script and it works fine so long as you use an edited version that adds a 5 second cooldown. Rate limiting is in effect so that is necessary to avoid that. The fork I'm using only has the timeout on editing...which is all I need it for. Currently working great
Running the PDS fork with the 5 second cooldown right now to do editing of all my posts and comments. Will wait a few days before deleting my account to make sure they stay edited.
I wasn't that active over the last 12 years, but it's still taking a while. 3.3k karma here
Honestly hoped that they wouldn't go full idiot....but sadly...spez is in charge. He's an insult to the idiot community.
edit: took all night but 4k+ posts edited. Waiting a bit and checking occasionally to ensure they stay edited before deleting.
Lack of a response to what was happening. I drew up this research in the middle of the protests...from them I saw nothing (expected something posted on their subreddit, I removed their app after finding nothing from them). It seemed like a lack of care. Because of that, this post by them seems disingenuous to me, it's in response to the adoring fans posting to their subreddit. How many of those people posting love in their subreddit know about who the owners of the app are. Put two and two together and you know this is who Spez was talking about when he said some were just not willing to talk. I asked the same question of everyone who was unwilling to talk....why. I found answers for some...some had their words misrepresented by Spez....some hadn't said anything that I found...such as BaconReader.
After I did my research on all the devs of the different Android and iOS apps...I discovered the app I had been using, BaconReader, was basically the only one backed by an Ad company (also somehow tied to Tmobile/Sprint). The rest of them are basically independent developers. So after learning that...not sorry to see it go. If there was some redemption arc by reddit I'd use another app. Good riddance.
edit: here's the fosstodon thread I posted about my research: https://fosstodon.org/@thundergod97/110554562902608839
edit2: I loved using BaconReader....I was a premium user....but this information drastically changed my opinion of it.
I used Techno Tim's guide on how to do essentially the same thing with different tools: Cloudflare, Let's Encrypt, Traefik, and PiHole (for my DNS)

Ah, changes already submitted for a merge. So working towards having this already.

@Eddie I know the kbin dev has been adjusting the federated backend to work better with mastodon. So I think it will all get better, it'll just take time.
I've been playing on the Gamepass version (which was gifted to me by a friend). It's not spectacular performance on my 8th gen i7 and 6700K...but it's playable. I'm enjoying myself. I'm averaging around 25fps in game. Only setting I really modified is the Volumetric setting...set that to low. Playing at 1440p.
