Interactive Brokers is also my next choice. Although, beware that you have to install Java runtime from Oracle in order to be able to log in to they servers. Java runtime environment has seen many beaches of security in the past, particularly the Internet was still in adolescence. Oracle claims to have solved those but this needs to be verified.

I'm waiting for Schwab mainly because, as it turns out, there is magic there. Namely, our assets are protected from online fraud. I'm sure there are limits to that protection. And that protection has applied to their normal online accounts. Will it apply to API accounts? We will have to reread the fine print when it's final.

Yes but I've read that Schwab will have its own API. I read that within the last two months. I've also been told as much by a rep, with disclaimers of course. That was a year ago.

Either way, I expect schwab to have an API. Why else buy TD?

I understood that TDA accounts with API would continue to work. Did yours stop working?

I delayed moving an account to TDA with API because I wanted to wait for the first to settle.

 

For NSFW images, in card mode where images are shown in full size, the default level of blur allows others to see the essence of the image. It would be nice to be able to increase the level of blur further. Perhaps three levels would be good.

Locally, an attacker still needs to know your password. A strong password can make it too expensive or impractical to brute force.

Filen.io

Works well so far, is end to end encrypted, open source, and the apps are nice and solid.

Works great for me. I'm running mx23 after running mx19 for a few years.

I hope mx23 is better with updates, or making easier to update, as updates broke in mx19 not long after I first installed it. My only complaint. Otherwise great.

Checking out !main@soccer.forum I saw very few posts by bots. Mainly saw posts by you. I saw one post coming from alien.top .

What's interesting is that only posts by bots have any comments. So maybe this could be a good way to get communities started.

Therefore, if it's okay with the admins at the following community, I'd nominate !tennis@lemmy.world

There's almost nothing happening there.

Let's say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.

Let's also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: !@lemmy.world

I can see a value add if your project directly helps !@lemmy.world get started; but I don't see how it does. If anything wouldn't your project compete with !@lemmy.world and therefore hinder it?

It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to !@lemmy.world but it doesn't.

If downvotes are the issue, beehaw.org doesn't allow downvotes. Those folks are automatically eliminated from that. You can then just ignore the comments you don't like and it's all good. 👍

In the Fediverse, what is the solution to instances or servers going missing?

To elaborate: The problem with commercial aggregators like Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, etc. is enshitification, for one reason or another. Of course, Lemmy, etc. on the Fediverse is the alternative solution, seemingly. But let's say that the hardware for a large Lemmy instance just disappears. What happens to all of the posts? Yes, old posts will still be available for a while on other instances. But, seemingly, there won't be any more updates. How is this addressed?

Moderators would of course be interested in continuing but they may not have the skills and resources to set up the hardware.

Instances/servers can disappear for many reasons: retirement, illness, confiscation, war, bungee jumping or parachuting accident, ... the list goes on.
