Congrats mate 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for everything you do with your instance and with fediseer.

In a VM you can not really use your GPU so that’s not the way to go about it. So no, you seem uninformed

I personally use https://dashy.to/ because you can also add links to your externally hosted services should you want to.

Hey Unruffled. I know you had your opinion back when we made that unpopular move too ;) But whatever the users here might think, the contact between most instance admins over on the matrix channels is pretty good and helpful. We might not all allign all the time but there is always respect and understanding. And I think you can confirm that everyone just tries to help each other there no matter what the differences.

I contacted db0 soon after we blocked those communities and have always been in good contact with him since. He understood our situation very well. And as you know yourself Lemmy World has been very active and very publicly pushing the fediseer project. Again, we have our differences but we all want Lemmy to succeed.

Appreciate you dude!

I don’t care dude lol. Why should I post this, we have always tried to be as transparent as possible over at Lemmy World. But we’re not going to release documents that would allow doxxing.

No

And we Love every single downvote you got from these fine people, too ❤️

For those that don’t know what “fosscad” is, it was a community where they were sharing 3D printing schematics for guns and other weapons. Which is an entirely different legal nightmare with different laws in different countries.

If anyone wants to apply as our fall guy hmu

The amount of people in here claiming there were no takedown requests is a bit frustrating. As if we were blocking those communities for shits and giggles. Sure there was that Bungie troll but around the same time we DID get a takedown request for threads in the piracy community. Threads that didn’t even include direct links, it was just a discussion. Whatever you guys think, it was a lot of shit to deal with on top of what we were already dealing with.

We were also considering different hosting options to counter those DDOS attacks back than and that would mean moving the server to another country and thus exposing members of our team to legal issues should shit hit the fan. One of our team members back then was in the legal team for the hosting company we were considering moving to. So he wasn’t just making this up, he literally wrote the rules.

In the end we decided not to move to that hosting company. And we took some other measures by creating some tooling to deal with this stuff better. And that takes time.

Undoing the block means more work for us too. Work we do for free on our own time, next to having jobs and a families. And we’re definitely not a corporate entity with fancy lawyers.

Thanks for your insight, you obviously know what you are talking about. Can I have your sources on this please?

Is that EFI partition still being used? I take it there’s a EFI partition on your windows drive, correct?

What you can do is create a bootable usb with a live linux distro and use gparted to sort out your partitions
