Teddit doesn't hold any data. It's "data" was reddit. It's developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.

Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.

Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits's approach tries to bring back the old situation

Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.

Anything else to consider when hosting a Lemmy instance in the EU?

First of all, I'm not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.

Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.

Check out my instances legal page: https://Laguna.chat/legal

In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.

Fairphone 4 running /e/OS. I love the modularity, quality and robustness. Just the fact that if I drop my screen I can just replace it for €80 using my own hands.

/e/OS is still in development, which you sometimes notice, but I love its privacy focused aspects. It is decoupled from Google, includes a tracker monitor and blocker, an appstore that can download apps from the Google Play store anonymously and best of all the developers do deliver. All their releases are well tested.

The only thing I struggle with are in app purchases. If they use the Google Play platform they just won't work.

I bought this phone from Murena, which is a branch of the /e/Foundation that sells devices with /e/OS preinstalled.

Is there a way to filter out bot posts?

What is your definition of bot? Even if you toggle the "I'm a bot option" off you can still access the API using a programming interface. Thus you are able to run a bot even if its account has not been defined as a bot.

It is probably possible to create a client (like Jerboa or Lemmy-UI) that is able to hide messages from accounts that are defined as a bot. But if a account hasn't been defined as a bot, its messages will still show up, even if they are written by an automated script.

Why is the most popular computer os closed source while the most popular mobile os is open source?

Well, Windows isn't that popular in the computer scene. Linux is by far more popular for servers, IoT devices (payment terminals, heartrate monitors...) and critical systems. But Windows has an edge in the PC scene. But to be honest a Apple Mac is also in the formfactor PC. These charts are always way of, just because their definition and monitoring techniques are not trustworthy.

The problem with Linux: it is opensource and free, and everyone can rebrand it. But at the same time everyone wants to make a euro out of it. There are a lot of companies that misuse its license by closing the source.

Audiobookshelf media sorter

I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3's in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.

Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.
