A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It seems like they are down for a longer time now. How will they recover? Does longer down mean they will have to do more catching up with other instances? Can I get updates somewhere?

There needs to be ONE site, Lemmy.com, that people goto. This entire thing about having .whateveryouwant is VERY off putting.

The main feature of a federated system is that there's no one "owner" of the entire system; each admin uses their own servers and their own domain names. There's nothing stopping a server admin from using a .com domain name...

There’s no 2fa at all

There's basic TOTP 2FA now: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2363 but it hasn't been released yet (it's only available in the latest server beta). "Next-gen" TOTP (Webauthn/FIDO) is coming later: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3059

‘Where is my username and password actually stored?’. The answer, sadly, is wherever the dude who’s running the instance/server is. In the ‘Fediverse’ your server instance might be hosted in a US or EU data center with proper digital and physical security, or it could be Joe Blows basement in Iowa running off a NAS.

You should get to know your server admin, then. You have the freedom to pick any server you like :)

There simply is no content
