    What’s wrong with having a choice?

    I guess some us are old and prefer how things used to be. Before curated feeds, awards and emoji reactions. As I said in another comment: the old internet never went away, it was just forgotten. And now we care more about how it is presented rather than the content itself. I think we have gotten so used to being spoon fed content that it feels weird for some people to have a choice. A turd with glitter and a bowtie is still a turd at the end of the day.

    Lemmy and Matrix are great but have you tried hosting a Lemmy instance? It’s an absolute pain in the ass for everyone involved right now and Matrix has it’s own issues. They both work fine but they don’t “just work”.

    The development of old protocols or technology didn’t seize just because something new came along.

    For those who aren’t familiar with Swedish domestic politics: this is a good example of why you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet. The parent comment appears to be written in bad faith and borders disinformation.

    The Sweden Democrats/Sverigedemokraterna, which the poster is referring to as nazis, have always been advocaters for a more strict migration policy. Apart from that they are pretty much aligned in the middle.

    The actual nazi party (Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen) got 847 votes (0,01%) in the 2022 riksdag election and the poster knows this. Alternativ För Sverige/AfS, the closet nazis and where most people draw the actual line for the extreme right, got 16 646 votes (0,26%). Data from The Swedish Election Authority

    As suggested, Connect. Excellent filter capabilities. My feed is pretty enjoyable now, at least on my phone. The only thing I’m missing is filtering out comments with specific keywords but that isn’t a huge issue. I downvote and occasionally block a user if they just post an emoji or a pun.

    I even have a “system”:

    • Instances with annoying users like those on hexbear, blahaj or lemmygrad: complete instance block.
    • Communities which I have no interest in: block
    • Spam bots reposting articles, reddit threads or links to some random blog post: instance/user block depending on context and how many posts per hour they spit out.
    • Too many posts about the same subject that I don’t care about: keyword block. Absolute bliss when Elon Musk and Donald Trump is gone.

    I only interact with content that I find interesting. Not a huge fan of defederation if it’s not pedo paradise or spam bot/troll farm. There are some good tutorials online on how to tie a noose if one of those two are your thing. Everyone has the right to an opinion and I have the right to ignore crazies.

    Was looking for the same for ages. Every option I found was either some bloated docker solution or a dead project.

    Gave up and just created a repo named “Todo” on my git server. It’s not really designed to be used for this kind of stuff but git and a web ui works perfectly fine. Just open a new issue. Give it a title and a brief description, a due date and some tags. Then you can create more subtasks, add comments to each, references etc. Even got my non-technical wife to use it.

    With some customization you could probably get exactly what you want.

    Edit: just realized you probably wanted something more simple. Set up a caldav server and sync the tasks using your preferred to-do app.

    NFS kinda sucks and I’m looking for alternative solution

    Rsync + cron? If you just need to backup some files/directories.

    Edit: ah, saw that you will read/write a lot. Do you really need to do that over the network? Why not upload a .tar, a snapshot or whatever of the changes?

    If you could be a bit more specific then maybe we could give some better advice.

    Use a seedbox if you’re downloading stuff and dont have enough disk space.
