You mean Racknerd correct?

They are great, I have a couple of servers with them (including the one that's hosting my lemmy instance)

That's more than people get for killing 15 year olds while driving drunk in NZ. Pathetic.

Why is this in Technology and not someplace like /c/reddit or something? I don't subscribe here for the latest reddit drama.

Just remember, the S in IOT stands for security.

I do have some IOT devices on my network, however they are kept off the internet and on their own vlan. No phoning home (or anywhere else) for these devices.

They can be great if they are set up properly, but too many people just take them out of the box, toss them on their network and think they are just fine.

after the last WhatsApp controversy

What happened with WhatsApp?

There are so many times I look for something somewhat niche that I need information on, and the first 10 or so links are all garabage keyword spammed sites. Literally lists of words that drive clicks to their site (I assume for ads or scripts). It's super frustrating. I've blocked entire TLDs on my network (.zip for example) and installed a add-on to allow me to block results in my searches.

I switched to aegis a while ago, it's been one of the best apps I've used for authentication. I was using Authelia for along time before that but my backup stopped working unbeknownst to me. I found out while doing a regular backup/restore test it had borked itself.

Because video is so cheap to host... That'll definitely help them bleeding money (and users)

I'll have to check this out, it's been ages since I've used an RSS reader. Pretty much since Digg went ~~under~~ 2.0 probably.

I doubt anyone is actually surprised by this. reddit owns the site, and (according to their TOS) they have rights to everything posted on their site (while they at the same time take zero responsibility for anything posted). I'm only surprised it's not happened sooner.

I'm also not surprised that this came about from someone that wants to take over one of the privated subs. Most likely to stroke their own egos.

I self hosted precisely so I can federate with who I want to. It's nice to be able to see posts from multiple instances of (for example) self-hosted on different servers within my own instance, and comment on them directly within my own instance.

The only issues I've had is the comments can take a bit to federate across, but that's to be expected.
