Nope… us Brits are a strange lot. Heck it is why I asked the q to start with because brits ARE so strange

Chicken Tikka Masala for the win!

Never used to be any issues but recently I’ve had some real fun trying to get stolen domains back after the details were either wrong or false… you can do it, but it takes time and a heck of a load of cash

After being AMD for years recently went back to nvidia for one reason. nvenc works way better for encoding livestreams and videos than amd

So just got back to this… so if it is parked on the bun you need to change the nameservers at cloudflare to actually get the domain to work. Without that step cloudflare can’t do much with it. Cloudflare will tell you your own personal cloudflare nameservers, porkbun will have set them to theirs, so firstly find out what the nameservers are set to in cloudflare. Work through this guide

https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/

Once cloudflare has the nameservers and they are resolving, which can take 24 hours, you can then route through your tunnel or whatever…

Not a fan of Amazon in any way shape or form, but for some purchases here in the UK they are simply miles ahead of other firms. Latest purchase by me, though not paid for by me is 2 x batteries for my wifes mobility scooter. 20% cheaper than anywhere else, took 1 week to arrive (not bad, not the best) but was so easy to order without all the hassle other solutions involve. We have a prime account still as there is some streaming stuff we also like to watch. Still (just) more pros than cons

You want to use flexible ssl/tls for starters, doubtful it will work otherwise. Log in to cloudflare, choose domain, then SSL/TLS and see if encryption is set to flexible. See what that gets you, though it can take 15 mins for effects to show up. As long as the server can be reached cloudflare will try and match a certificate so lemmy gets served, as long as the server is set up correctly and the ports etc. are correctly forwarded and open

again - no bias but that seems tiny compared to other “things”

How are you using Cloudflare, and what are you serving the lemmy instance on? I’m guessing it is due to the ssl mode chosen as said before

Pico is kinda like Bludit, but Bludit has plugins. We all know the pros and cons of those but it does save you time if a plugin exists to do something you need, plus it has theme support. So pretty much the same then… I just have used Bludit thus the recommendation

Aye it is… but 400 users seems really small compared to others

I have enjoyed this discussion but some of my UK peers have added that the fediverse in general (like most social media to be fair) when it is new seems to “american” for them. Bluesky suffers from this criticism as well. This puts a lot of UK users off. Heck even threads is described by many as too us focused right now (see the I’m in the UK is anybody else posts on threads)

oh and “installation” is just copy the files to where you want a half decent webserver to serve from. Half decent I mean it is much easier with say apache or nginx but possible with others. Had good results with nginx on a pi4b and Bludit for example

Not in my experience, jobs are just being lost to AI overall, as in the are simply replaced by AI. Here in the UK had whole departments replaced by AI like copywriters and summarising jobs

Because a lot of the jobs are simply going as they have replaced people with AI. Here in the UK I know about 25000 jobs gone this year with businesses I’ve worked for as they are replaced with AI. Of course, I have about 90% less work this year as well because of AI

Bludit can do this if you want to save a bit of time… depends on what you want really

I get that, but there are other articles saying the same if not pushing it worse… My point is they are investing large amounts in AI and not people, refocus if you like but for many people AI isn’t what they want. Mind you neither is office or Windows…

Now I know I’m going to say a dirty word here, but I still use cloudflare tunnels. No port forwarding required, yunohost plays nicely as long as you use https forwarding and make sure the tls settings allow any certs to be used. Other ways none cloudflare are around as well if needed… this lemmy instance is hosted at home, using yunohost and cloudflare tunnels

If the domain is ok yunohost side, and you have the dns side setup and still nothing then the port is not being correctly forwarded to the tinternet.

Tis brand new community (yes really)
