how can we make Lemmy as popular as Reddit

I personally enjoy that Lemmy isn't as popular as Reddit. It feels more home-grown and friendly because it's not as large. That being said, contributing to and engaging with the content you enjoy is a good start. Finding a niche here can be great and there are tons of interesting communities to contribute to!

Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?

I've used the PWA, Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.

Jerboa is probably my favorite of the bunch. I prefer how compact everything is and the 0.0.33 version was working well. I upgraded to 0.0.36 and performance took a bit of a hit so I figured I would explore alternatives. Also when I looked at other options 2FA support had not been added (it's working as of this post)

The PWA is more than functional,and I like it quite a bit. Don't like that backing out of a post navigates to the top of the page though.

Connect is good too, just personally not a fan of the larger interface, even in list/compact mode.

Currently using liftoff. Performance is good, 2FA support is available, and in list/compact mode it's tolerable. I still do prefer the compactness of Jerboa though.

[Help] How can I self host services (eg, a website, lemmy instance, vpn) on my own hardware while hiding my IP?

Cloudflare free tier + a reverse proxy will set you straight. You can add subdomains for your services as A records in Cloudflare off of your root domain, i.e. lemmy.yourdomain.tld, personalsite.yourdomain.tld, images.yourdomain.tld.

When doing this, enable the Cloudflare DNS proxy which will route DNS requests to your origin service through Cloudflares's CDN. This essentially "hides" your public IP as anyone doing a nslookup lemmy.yourdomain.tld will get Cloudflares's IPs back as a response.

Once you've done this, you can break everything back out to it's respective backend via a reverse proxy. For example, lemmy.yourdomain.tld gets passed to 192.168.0.10, personalsite.yourdomain.tld gets passed to 192.168.0.20, etc.

*Permanently Deleted*

Watching them do the chair was... terrifying... Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like "Nah, you're fine." I was like "Okay, just please don't steal my teeth 😬"

Reddit down amid major protest

Reply in thread

Same. Projects like Lemmy are pretty slick, I just hope that the perceived barrier to entry due to the decentralized nature of the Fediverse won't keep people from joining. There needs to be a "critical mass" of users to make a platform successful and engaging. Hopefully that happens to Lemmy due to the Reddit API fiasco.

N00b wanting to get into this field - NL Cybersecurity

Not in NL, but these are some helpful career progression flow charts: https://roadmap.sh/devops https://roadmap.sh/cyber-security

This one is a map of cyber security certifications that are out there: https://pauljerimy.com/security-certification-roadmap/

These things look big and intimidating but that's okay, I work in cyber security and there's stuff on these that I don't know. I feel like at least having a starting place and a path to follow can be really helpful especially if you don't know where to start.

Also, Cyber Security is a huge field, do you want to do offensive cyber or defensive cyber? More hands-on-keyboard or more policy based? You mentioned that you wanted that you want to end us as a CISO, some of the best that I know where techs and do-ers first, definitely get some hands on experience before jumping to a policy-level position.

The most important thing about Cyber Security as a career field is to keep learning! Good luck!
