I wonder why we don’t have AI browser extensions that can recognise and obscure possible ads / unwanted content yet

Okay then, i think i’m buying a new guitar

This is actually something i wanna get more informed on, for example i see that e/os is still supporting the first google pixel (from 2016), it’s already 7 years of updates. However i think that applies just to the OS update, not the security patches, am i right?

That looks way more than a home server, it looks like something i would expect to see for a small business!

Not a real reason, just that setting everything up on my server took a while and i don’t really want to go on that all over again

What machine is it?

• Play store blocking aurora store sessions
• Reddit API changes
• Youtube tests disabling videos for people who use ad blockers
• this Twitter thing

Am i forgetting something?

true, that’s why i’m probably switching to Immich for that, even with caching enabled Nextcloud is more useful for storing than to go and look to old photos. It’s just slow to load the content, could be that my network is already really slow by itself tho.

I would say it’s more an acceptable solution than a real alternative for now.

Nextcloud + the app “Photos for Nextcloud”

No. Just no. If you prefer having single points of failure - either stick to Reddit or spin up a private unfederated Lemmy instance.

Sorry i didn’t explain myself very well.

By central server i meant a pinning service, but that could even be hosted by the already existent fediverse istances.

I’ll paste one answer i added below:

I meant sharding. that’s what IPFS is about, the files on it are sharded between different computers accross all over the world that request the specific resource. When you ask through ipfs for a resource, it would perform a lookup and see if that’s available and in which node, then serve it to the client and cache it on its node. Content can be pinned to specific nodes in order not to be deleted through garbage collection, and that was what i was meaning by “central server”, there are services (like Pinata) doing just that: pinning content on fast servers and making it readily available. But i guess those nodes can also be the current fediverse istances, i had a central server in mind more due to that and because of the fact that smaller servers (available to the little associations that host fediverse istances) couldn’t probably keep up with something like sharding right now, but i don’t really know.
