Most of the hacky ways around it involve retaining ownership of the old domain and leaving it up indefinitely as a pointer to the new location. If your domain is taken from you though there is not much you can do.
Seriously dumb to have used this TLD considering there are a ton of choices these days.
I'm now wondering what happens if the Mali government (or someone else) begins using those domains with their own lemmy instance, potentially with malicious content.
Would the instances they've federated with begin ingesting and serving that content automatically? Or would that be blocked due to key mismatch?
Do you realize that boomers are the ones who literally made the Internet?
Not the ones that I work with.
A more perfect analogy would be the truck driver handing the other guy the balaclava and watching him put it on in front of him and then take it off again before he left. Not really much more private.
Spiderman is what got me to purchase a PS4. I've rebought almost everything on PC though so I think I learned my lesson this time (still waiting on Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima 😞).

ansible-nas
Wow, yeah this is exactly the sort of roles/playbooks that I've been building. I'm definitely using this as a source before starting my own from scratch. Thanks for sharing.
I'm actually doing both right now since I had quite a huge compose file that I haven't converted to ansible yet. The biggest frustration I have is that there doesn't seem to be an ansible module that works with compose v2 (the official plugin) which means I'm either stuck on the old version of compose or I have to use shell commands to run stuff like 'docker compose up -d'.
One nice thing I've gained though is for services like Plex. I have an 'update' playbook that I use and it will check to see if Plex is actively streaming before updating the container which isn't something I could do easily with compose.
Hahaha, I've been using ChatGPT in the exact same way. It requires a bit of double-checking but it really speeds things up a lot.
I've started replacing my docker compose files with pure ansible that is the equivilent of doing docker run. My ansible playbooks look almost exactly like my compose file but they can also create folders, set config files or cycle services when configs are updated.
It's been a bit of a learning process but it's replaced a lot what was previously documentation with code instead.
I believe this has more to do with pict-rs than Lemmy (the image handling back end that Lemmy uses). I'm struggling to find specifics on this from my phone right now though.
I get that not everything can be free. I'm more than willing to pay for sites and services that have value to me. But companies constantly selling your data, blasting you with advertisements and then having the gall to ask you to pay for the pleasure? It's blatant rent-seeking.
