Are you calling the server list on joinmastodon.org “the federation”? Because it’s not; it’s literally just a list. Nothing about the list tells you about any actual federation between instances. Without a doubt there are instances on that list that are federated with ones not on that list and vice versa. It’s not even the only list out there.

My default sort is Hot because I thought it sorted by upvotes/likes. Is that not the case?

Available on desktop device (Windows, MacOS, Linux), because decentralized network may cause high amount of cellular data usage when connecting with nodes.

It looks like SimpleX does have a desktop app, it’s just via cli: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/stable#zap-quick-installation-of-a-terminal-app

IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting “burned out” is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term “exhausted” the same interpretation of the phrase:

Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.

This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it’s not individuals getting “exhausted”, but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.

A more correct title would be something like:

Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last

Isn’t this a strange article title? The whole point of it is to show T cells don’t actually get “burned out” at all. And imo it’s not like the real reason is uninteresting.

Why dress the article in the exact thing it’s refuting?

Except OP is starting a meta discussion about Reddit discussions, not a direct discussion about Reddit. I don’t necessarily agree with OP, but you’ve crafted an artificial contradiction using a false equivalence. I’d be happier if we left the Reddit-tier logic back where it belongs.

The sign-in experience is where you’re going to get a lot of friction. Your users are going to need your server address. They’ll have to log in to devices with username/password including TVs unless they have signed in once already somewhere else on the network like a desktop. Then you can set up an Easy PIN code or use Quick Connect, but those are hidden behind the user settings menu.

If you’re talking about this, then it hasn’t seen an update since 2021. Maybe you mean Finamp? It’s a serviceable app, but it’s very simple and dated-looking compared to Plexamp. Definitely better than the Jellyfin app though which is just a web wrapper.

Are you still using it? I went through many deployments before I finally thought I had it settled.

At the beginning of the pandemic I looked into ways to de-Google and found Nextcloud. It wasn’t the easiest thing to start with, especially for a novice, but I had the time and the hardware, and I’m the type to not mind jumping into something difficult if it means solving a specific problem. I then found out about Bitwarden and had a great experience setting that up. After that I was confident enough to try hosting anything I could find. It’s been good times ever since 😀

This is extremely valuable, thanks for this!

As a general question, why did you decide to use a single postgres container for multiple services instead of multiple, stack specific containers? When I first started working with containers I considered your scheme for the sake of minimalism, but didn’t want a single container to bring down multiple unrelated services. I also had the resources to accomodate the redundancy.

This is a simplistic, yet common take. Privacy is not a zero-sum game. If it was, entities that valued your information wouldn’t construct systems to constantly scrape it from you.

As long as you engage with society you will always be generating new information, even it’s as basic as confirming that old information is still correct. That means it’s never too late to adopt privacy practices.

Feedback on what works lets businesses allocate resources to things that will get new/keep current customers and save in places that don’t matter as much. It’s the core principle of any business and everything else, while useful and important in its own way, is secondary.

Now whether or not it feels like businesses are acting on that feedback in a way that makes a difference is a whole other beast.
