I’ll be totally honest and say that I don’t trust Evan (for reasons I’m not getting into), and I’m not sure why we need “hashtags with extra steps,” but I’d like to get opinions from people who are smarter than I am about this stuff.

I remember a while ago I saw a TikTok but for fediverse and also an instagram. What other cool programs are there for the fediverse?

Looks for something like calibre web but not terrible

I've been doing some selfhosting and want to setup fail2ban for my exposed apps, but am unsure if that should be setup on my router (OpenWRT), on each server that may be exposed, or just in the Caddy container?

My setup right now is: TP-Link router with OpenWRT Lenovo M910q with Proxmox, which hosts the following:

• Caddy in a container for reverse proxies to hosted apps
• Home Assistant OS in VM#1
• Other apps in docker containers on VM#2

In case you didn't hear TrueNAS is going partially closed source. However, there seems to be a lack of alternatives.

Any ideas on what to move to?

I've been working on Abaddon, (a first person Lovecraftian horror game) for Almost 4 years now, this journey has been amazing, I can't believe It's almost ready for release! If you are into horror games please consider wishlisting it as it helps me out a lot! Thank you all so much for the support ❤️

The CEOs of Visa, Mastercard, PayPal Holdings and Stripe received letters Thursday from Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson, who demanded they not discriminate against customers based on political or religious grounds.

The FTC threatened enforcement action if customers are denied services for those reasons.

Any act to “deplatform customers or deny them access to financial products or services” may violate the Federal Trade Commission Act and “could lead to an FTC investigation and potential enforcement action,” the agency said in a Thursday press release. The FTC didn’t cite any specific infractions by the companies.

The commission is typically made up of five members, but has just two at the moment. President Donald Trump last fired two of the Democrats who sat on the commission.

"When asked how he feels about there being less prolific “auetur” developers in the scene, like Hideo Kojima, Suda51, SWERY, and Kenji Eno, Niikawa suggests that this might be due to the “corporate” nature of the video game industry. “That’s a bit unfortunate, to be honest. To put it in my own words, I feel like the salaryman-ification of creators keeps progressing,” he says. For context, a “salaryman” in Japan refers to white-collar workers, employed at large corporations, who stereotypically prioritize work over anything else and are subservient to their organization."

"On the other hand, when you’re a developer who works for a company, various other factors, like company policies and decision-making, as well as profitability, come into play, making it more difficult for “individuality” to come through..."

Isn't this also happening in the West? In any case, AAA rarely appeals to me; almost underground-like indies/mods/Foss games are the places to find the really experimental works.

Ukraine now makes more drones than any democracy in the world, and wealthy nations in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are lining up to buy them. But when I asked the CEO of Rheinmetall what that could mean for his business model, he bristled. “Who is the biggest drone producer in Ukraine?” Papperger demanded. I listed the ones that I had visited in Kyiv two weeks earlier, Fire Point and Skyfall, which make hundreds of thousands of drones a month for the Ukrainian armed forces. “It’s Ukrainian housewives,” Papperger said of their factories. “They have 3-D printers in the kitchen, and they produce parts for drones,” he said. “This is not innovation.”

As one of the biggest gunsmiths in the world, Papperger knows a lot about the state of the art in defense. His empire encompasses 180 factories (including eight in the United States) producing not only tanks and artillery but warships, missiles, high-end drones, anti-aircraft batteries, and fuselages for fighter jets such as the F-35. The company that he leads plays such an outsize role in the defense of NATO and Ukraine that the Russians put Papperger on a target list for assassination in 2024.

...

Most drones are too cheap to move the needle toward NATO’s gargantuan spending targets.

Among the few exceptions is the $20 billion contract that the Pentagon signed this month with Anduril, an American defense-technology company founded in 2017. That amount of money “could probably buy all the drones Ukraine produces,” Oleksandr Kamyshin, the official who oversees Ukraine’s weapons industry, told me. But as a general rule, Western militaries tend to give the biggest contracts to established manufacturers.

With the start of the war in Iran, Rheinmetall told investors that it expects sales to grow this year by at least 40 percent. Its market value now stands at roughly $80 billion, far higher than Germany’s biggest carmakers, including Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz. Last month, the company was already in talks to sell weapons worth 80 billion euros, adding to a backlog of orders that is expected to top 135 billion euros by the end of 2026. “This would be the highest order intake ever,” Papperger said. “But everybody knows that this is not enough. We need at the end of the day 400, 500, or more—600 billion!”

Maybe I'm overthinking this. I want something with a drag and drop interface that then gives me a link to paste into discord or a forum to show the image directly, as Imgur does.

I could just use a bare web server but I'd have to scp the images over every time.
