  • Thank you, I am busy looking at the federation issue right now and hope to resolve it soon. This instance is just a single server so if its turned off then the impact is total, but in terms of the datacentre the entire site was down and power was slowly restored to parts of it and is still ongoing, we are luckily back online but some parts are still down and damaged. The site is 1515 round table drive Dallas TX.

    I also purged the post you reported.










  • One way I have reduced my subscriptions is by using control d. I know vpns are popular on lemmy but I found it an annoying to have to have a vpn for each device I wanted to bypass a country lock. Moreover it was annoyyng for some devices like apple tv that does not support a vpn. Establishing a vpn on the firewall broke other services that I needed to work locally in my country.

    Control d on the other hand is a dns proxy tunnel so you just alter the dns on the devices you want to use it, and in their control panel you can have different countries per service - so if you browse youtube that can go via a country that does not allow ads. Bbc iplayer can be told to go via uk and so on. This is a lot more convenient and allows you to retain your country for all services except the ones you want to tunnel.
