It is doable to install an OS onto a flash drive or external drive, but from my experience it was really slow. Just need to make sure to then boot the machine to the USB device. Some machines you might find it difficult to change that in the BIOS.

You can try the “more > copy link to fediverse”

But you shouldnt have to browse kbin.social then copy that link to a url formatted for you instance.

On your kbin.cafe you could try /d/kbin.social to try and do a link too. Might just need to follow the /m/ on other instances to see the posts from other kbin and lemmy instances.

You and others on kbin.cafe will have to subscribe to the same magazine on other instances. You would interact with it just like you are now with this post on kbin.social. There is a possibility the same post could appear in the general / all feed of federated posts too.

You are viewing a post that is originating on kbin social. It is then federating to your instance in kbin.cafe. So your instance is receiving a copy in a way to view and interact with the post. Your instance then can send a copy of the replies and comments to the originating instance so they can all work together.

They all do interact and “work” together. I know Dansup is working on a single sign in with mastodon to Pixelfed. That’ll be a nice integration too. I think what kind of integration will be nice to have one account across multiple platforms.

The settings and federation panel are on the right sidebar by default. On mobile they are set to float and follow the main content then hide the panel so you see the federation icon and settings panel. After the settings is the magazine info and the user who posted the thread info.

I agree these should be a tad easier to find or added to the user profile as well.

I’ve used some of them and the web and mobile interface of kbin is still easier to use than the beta apps of lemmy and web interface. Not sure why so many went the lemmy route other than the rexxit and lemmy was slightly easier at the time to spin up new instances.

This is the way

@hariette is working on ArtemisApp and there is a private beta first as it’s all from the ground up. There’s a lot of work Kbin needs itself to have 3rd party integrations as it is a little newer and younger than some of the alternatives.

@dansup is also working on another alternative too, kbam

Both of them are working hard on getting something to community is wanting. All in due time! You can join the /m/ArtemisApp magazine or dansup for following along with their progress. Getting involved with them seems to be the best way to help.

For that price point and management, I sure hope that helps kbin easier for others to get more instances going. Even if folks have a 1-5 user instance $10/mo is great!

Still love the GameCube and games. This is what we introduced the kids too and it’s been fun watching them play the games that brought me a lot of fun too.

• Mario Kart

• Super smash brothers

• Crazy Taxi

Could find the RCA connections on tvs now, but the Wii was great in the backward compatibility! Dolphin worked great for some games too, and a controller USB adapter and we’re in business!

Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.

Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.

Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.

Could you see anything…? All kbin.social items being blocked, not just the content?

Also seems like Dansup is finding a lot of spam accounts on lemmy instances too. He manages the fedidb of all the fediverse software and platforms with various metrics

I’ve seen some strange things too with mark down especially in the title of posts if there are links. I also think the markdown processor for kbin could use an update.

I did create this this issue so hopefully there’s some better markdown support in the future.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “the fediverse isn’t built for that kind of privacy”. The fediverse does have privacy post options all built into the platform you’re using. Mastodon allows private posts, only those who follow you. Kbin is a mashup of Reddit style threads and microblog timeline posts.

Kbin was developed to show upvotes and boosts as those are synonymous to other platforms like mastodon as favorites and boosts.

The lemmy platform is more “private” that on lemmy posts you don’t see this as much. With federation and interacting similarly between ecosystems you start seeing the minor differences.

I do think that changes as possible and that is what makes the open source of the platforms we’re using to be important and requires community input for improvements and suggestions as a whole.

The irony of the magazine name and bricking the magazine. Glad you got it fixed!

I recently switched to Fedora to help get into the Arch based Linux realm. Historically been on Debian based distros. You can’t go wrong with many of the “mainstream” distributions as your first intro to Linux. If you come across any issues ask away and that it a how you’ll learn more about how Linux works, Arch, etc with your hardware too.

I run a PiHole and have Quad9 as the upstream resolver instead of the ISP. That was pretty simple to setup as well. You can also do DNS-over-HTTPs and other options as well for content filtering to block malware and items of DNS upstream.
