Massive congratulations to Europol and its partners in taking this shit down and putting these perverts away. However, they shouldn't rest on their laurels. The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.

With that logic, I might as well throw away my computer and phone and go full Uncle Ted.

Forget about growth. Forget investors. Forget about all those capitalist nonsense. What good are profits if everything goes to shit? The best thing about Lemmy is that it doesn't give a shit about that. It's decentralized and community driven. Capitalism prioritizes money not people.

When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've never done any sort of home networking or self-hosting of any kind but thanks to Jellyfin and Mastodon I've become interested in the idea. As I understand it, physical servers ("bare metal" correct?) are PCs intended for data storing and hosting services instead of being used as a daily driver like my desktop. From my (admittedly) limited research, dedicated servers are a bit expensive. However, it seems that you can convert an old PC and even laptop into a server (examples here and here). But should I use that or are there dedicated servers at "affordable" price points. Since is this is first experience with self-hosting, which would be a better route to take?

If you've got the storage and bandwith, there's nothing stopping you from "mirroring" your favorite content creator's videos.

Correct me if I'm wrong but extensions can still be installed manually correct?
