What is the Beehaw.org devs country of origin?

It’s all about the money, baby.

I like the Fediverse b/c its more connected than our old forums of yesteryear, but without big tech breathing down out necks…

You know whats funny… while I have Apollo installed - I always used Reddit’s main app. :P LULZ - but I fully support them keeping their API open, as it has been for YEARS. I think they’re fully out of line.

LOL ; thank gosh I haven’t seen that, yet… I hope LemmyNet continues to be developed and takes advantage of Reddit’s ship jumpers.

Thats a good point - jeez. Yea, I don’t want to miss Beehaw; I don’t want to miss anyone… thanks for the tip.

OK; understood and FULLY agree with your registration vs. others that can be gamed by a script kiddy. That question, and response, was part of the reason I chose Beehaw, too - I get it, thanks.

I get it that hiring new moderators would take some work; and I wouldn’t suggest or support just letting anyone doso - like ME… I think I’m too new to be ‘trusted’ to doso - but it seems like you have many members of the Beehaw community that might want to help, and fit.

Thanks - I’ll check the list of LemmyNet sites and pick the largest one - I suppose lemmy.world is the ‘WHQ’ and might best fit what I’m wanting… I prefer Beehaw, but since I’m new the LemmyNet I want to see ALL of whats going on - I want to see the influx of Reddit users… I want to see where Lemmy lacks and watch it as it continues to be developed.

I respect ya’ll choice to defederate, I personally think you should just ask for the community to help w/ your work; regardless of how you try to slow LemmyNet down, when its more successful your jobs are going to grow exponentially. I’d prefer if you didn’t do this; and think you’d be in a better position if you simply deal with LemmyNets growth…

Thanks for the quick reply, and I aren’t going anywhere - if welcome - but I’ll find a fully-federated LemmyNet to bridge the gap. :P

Hmmm; I am new to LemmyNet AND Beehaw.org; but have been falling in love with the platforms. However, I do want to see ‘all’ of LemmyNet.

What is the lemmyworld 'open registration policy? I ask because all I needed to supply to register HERE is a username/password. ??? Isn’t that open registration?

Second, why not allow more moderators - please don’t feel like you have to go over old stuff… I’m going to read thru some of Beehaw.org’s PAST posts that I’m sure talk about this issue - but it seems like theres a great Beehaw.org community - if yer having issue w/ moderation, hire moderators; I bet the ‘cost’ is pretty cheap.

Last; what LemmyNet community should one join if they WANT to see the entire LemmyNet? I came aboard Beehaw.org BECAUSE I agreed w/ most of what the site stands for; but since I’m really getting into Lemmy I think I want to be where ‘everything’ is - good and bad.

Thanks for the explanation - even if confusing for a new user.

Ok; I’ll take a peek… but I’m really feeling the LemmyNet vibe. That being said, I haven’t used friendica so I’ll drop by and have a l00k.

Alright, I wanted to come back now that my setup is complete… special thanks to those of you who suggested nginx-proxy-manager - its very nicely put together and really makes reverse proxies a breeze…

Long story short, I just created a brand new VM… started with the proxy manager and built on top of that. Next up was my static Hugo website; it was too easy to point change Apache2’s ports.conf to 8097 instead of 80, and use nginx-proxy-manager for the SSL certs… that one was basically plug and play.

The Bitwarden bit was a bit more involved, but not too bad… at first I just redirected traffic to the original (other machine) Bitwarden VM - but no one wants an extra VM to backup and support… so I went with a fork Docker of bitwarden_rs/vaultmaster - it comes w/ e-mail setup in the container, so one less thing to worry about… I had to swap around some docker-compose.yml ports and just point nginx-proxy-manager at it… this time, tho, I used the SSL certs from the docker; I didn’t wanna dig in and remove what they already had running.

In the middle I was still fighting with myself and not taking ya’lls good suggestions - I tried to go the Cloudflared route; which is a cool service… but you can’t tunnel root domains unless you’re a paid user. Cloudflared tunnels would be great for exposing the Plex, TrueNAS, etc’s of the world… but I didn’t NEED/want subnets.

Thanks to the Beehaw community… TechHeart.life is up and running. :P (Don’t worry, the Bitwarden is on a private domain. Phhhbbbbtttt.)

Everyone here is awesome for ALL the replies. :P Thank you!!

I decided to try a Cloudflared tunnel, but that didn’t work out because I can’t get the main domain1.com domain to go thru the tunnel… only ‘apps’, like blog.domain1.com. :P

And, I’m still ironing out how to pass nginx to another local IP on my network; I just haven’t gotten it to click yet. All the info needed is right here - I promise to come back when I iron out the setup and post how I managed to do it…

I can figure out how to pass nginx [or apache2, for that matter] to another PORT on the same local IP - I think I have both domains listening on ports 80/443 - and I’ll have to change that in order to route the data correctly… let alone getting out to another local IP.

Again appreciate all the info - sometimes I just have to learn a bit more since I have all the documents right here. :P

So… I’m from Texas [living in OR…] and an entire industry was cut in half because of this admins cutback in oil - while some of this admins work might have saved you money and allowed you to build your personal infrastructure in a direction you agree with, the people of Midland and Odessa Texas lost 50% overnight.

And, all the workers who flocked and prospered are gone with no oil jobs to go back to.

Yes, we disagree with a lot - the addition of the heavy spying requirements by automakers was introduced since Biden, and while I support supporting Ukraine I think we’re in way too deep already.

I agree, though - no one administration is perfect… I think that Biden is, literally, just not capable of performing at the level a POTUS needs to. Let alone that I think he already can’t, I think he should allow some other dem that would be viewed a lot stronger - is there any world where you really think Biden can go another 5 years?

I’m still learning the what Lemmy devs are trying to do… I’m intrigued.

Whether you agree with the things he accomplished or not, he literally hit the ground running; slashing and smashing away the things he wanted to do in his presidency - I can’t think of one [good] thing that BIden, or his entire administration, has done for two years. The infrastructure bill, with what it has hidden away, is the worst thing that could happen to the US IMO.

The control and oversight via government that it has baked in is simply disgusting. Vehicle BAC detection - gotta sniff between the cracks… errr wait, maybe thats a bad euphemism.

Agreed - I don’t think I’ve been on a Tornado BBS software; but I still code in Mystic BBS’s PASCAL-like MPL language. :P

damnit! :P

Hold my beer! LEMMINGS

I wasn’t a fan of his personality - but hate to say that I think he did a better job than the current admin. IMO Biden needs to hurry up and make the right decision; to not run for POTUS in whatever way he wants to choose… he needs to pick some young rockstar that could keep the position w/ democrats. I don’t think Biden will do that - and while I understand what yer saying about Trump maybe losing some love from his supporters - but theres gonna be a lot of middle-lefters who are fed up w/ the left… IMO.

I think if Biden runs that we’ll have another 4/8 years of Trump.

I only know enough code to break things, but I wouldn’t mind working on some documentation - I’ll go read what Lemmy needs; thanks for reminding me that anyone can chip in.
