What are you even saying? What has nostalgia got to do with phones dropping removable batteries as a feature?

That's just not true. I've always been an android user and it's non-trivial to change the battery, hasn't been easy for years.

I think you're making quite a big leap with that statement with very little to back it up. Once (if) a working Fusion reactor design is finalised, then manufacturing will ramp up and the quality of those components will only improve. Until we have that final design though, it's impossible to make claims about how expensive maintenance will be.

I'm all for this. The big argument against it is that it makes it harder to waterproof but I'll take that over a phone I have to replace every 18 months because the battery is shit.

I'm seeing the same thing, also in Firefox but I suspect it'll happen on any browser. I'm with you, I think it's because it keeps loading in new posts but doesn't unload the old ones. It's probably an easy fix

Big instances surfing up content from smaller instances is invariably going to cripple them unless larger instances start locally caching that content.

What a shower of cunts

That's true if of any power plant though. It'll still be cheaper and safer (if it ever works).

Whelp, I'm overdue a B5 rewatch.

It's too expensive, they should have released it at the same price as the 512GB series S and dropped the price of the original.

Ultimately, you need some way of routing the traffic to the correct place. Having all 3 services on the same domain, listening on the same ports is going to be a nightmare to manage because something needs to be clever enough to route the traffic to the right service without any information to go off of, other than maybe headers. Expensive firewalls can technically do this but it's not fun to configure and is really brittle.

As inferred, you could use the same domain but you'd have to configure your services to listen on a different port so you'll end up with something like https://domain.tld:8443 for Mastodon and https://domain.tld:8444 for lemmy.

You can technically use subfolders, i.e. domain.tld/mastodon and domain.tld/lemmy but you're not going to get the results you want and I can't say for sure that the software will deal with it nicely.

This is why we tend to use reverse proxies and configure them to route all traffic from subdomaina.domain.tld to one service and subdomainb.domain.tld to another service. It's just easier.

Is anyone surprised that reddit is threatening to remove mods and replace them with others? This has happened before, there's actually a lot of precedent for when a subreddit is abandoned and things like that. You could always "apply" to own the subreddit and it was generally not too much hassle if the previous mod ignored it.

What will be interesting is seeing just how many mods actually step up to fill those shoes. Will they be power-hungry, ineffectual mods or will they be just competent enough to keep the lights on? Will reddit eventually have to pay some mods, or do they have enough goodwill to keep these new mods happy?

Reddit actually has a huge problem with some mods being responsible for like 80% of the major subs on the site. There was a lot of conspiracy talk around that, but regardless of the merit of such conspiracies, it'll be interesting to see what happens to those users - do they care more about staying in power, or do they care more about the platform they manage?
