The latest pixel devices (since 6 I think?) already provide accees to a /dev/kvm device, so maybe you could even run a normal Ubuntu server VM on your phone for hosting these services.

Are you sure the content is gone? I assume the communities had users from other servers, if so isn't the content replicated on other servers?

I guess he means that raspberry pi doesn't run a mainline kernel

I think the admin of c/selfhosted is the admin of Lemmy.world

I think those kind of vulnerabilities are pretty rare, though.

Not really... If you go read the security bulletin from google, you will see every month that there are a couple of issues fixed on closed source components https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2023-07-01

Also vulnerabilities related to kernel code, I highly doubt most ROM "developers" are actually backporting security fixes for that specific device's kernel branch/source.

You can update your phone with custom ROMs, but it won't update the closed source components of it(device drivers, bootloader, etc...). If a vulnerability is found in one of those components, it's unlikely that it will get parched

I ran GrapheneOS on a pixel 5 but ultimately went back to stock.

GrapheneOS was considerably slower on my phone. Apps took a bit longer to loader, but the worst was installing APKs, it takes so much longer compared to stock. Some apps (e.g. revolut) took more than 5 minutes to install, it was crazy.

I think I figured out the reason. Thumbnail previews are generated by your local instances, in the first post I've linked, the meme is actually a link to https://i.imgflip.com/7rgf1k.jpg which the instance downloads and generates a thumbnail for.

On posts that are actual images uploaded to the instance (e.g. the second link I posted), it looks like that lemmy just reuses the URLs.

 

I'm running an instance for me and a couple of friends at https://lm.put.tf/. I've noticed that there seems to be no consistency whether or not post images are mirrored in instance's pictrs

For example:

The post https://lm.put.tf/post/22176 from !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world has its image mirror from https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/92ec8e81-1f05-4ff7-8ec7-f3bdee3d8087.jpeg to https://lm.put.tf/pictrs/image/747826a6-281f-4b1b-8ba2-7bbf452916dd.jpeg

However the post https://lm.put.tf/post/22060 from the same community, but posted by a user from lemmy.blahaj.zone does not have a mirror on my instance. The image links to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/OpIT86L1vq.jpg

Why is there a difference in behaviour? is it because the post was done from another instance and not lemmy.world? What is the replication/mirroring logic?

It's probably something to do with the tablet interface. It works fine on my S23, but immediately crashes on my Xiaomi pad 4

Not for me and my friend on our own instance, 0.17.4 used to return me to where the feed previously was. In 0.18.0 when I get back from the post, it causes a full refresh of the home page/feed
