  • After switching to the fediverse, I should also replace Google.

    Not necessarily. One step to a better internet at a time. Sometimes people get overwhelmed by free software solutions because they try to do everything at once.

    But with what?

    I’ve tried a lot but replacing google search is not easy. You can of course use a meta search engine like searx which is great but then you hand your search traffic directly to some random instance owner. You could also use startpage which is basically a firewall for google search. duckduckgo does work and I use it sometimes but the search results are definitely worse than google’s. The bangs are a nice feature though.




  • Same movie for me and same impression too. Not sure if the monster’s were even necessary. Also it had more of a “run away from the explosion” vibe than a “oh this uboat is about to implode” vibe. But I can confirm it is ok-ish.

    Edit: That’s crazy. I’ve looked at your profile since I thought it’s a funny coincidence. I’ve also lived in South Korea for a while and I’ve also used Pop OS in the past. Really interesting. May I ask what you are doing in Jeju-Do?












  • I’m new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:

    • Instance A federates with instances B and C
    • Instance B only federates with instance C
    • Instance C federates with instance A and B

    Following scenario:

    • Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
    • I’m on instance A and I comment on his comment
    • Now someone from instance C comments on my comment

    What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won’t see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?
