I came to get away from the main stream socials.

You still can. Just block threads.net instance in things like Mastodon and Lemmy.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

Your data is public in fediverse. They can scrape even right as we speak.

I would need someone to confirm this, but I have heard that if you block, then it prevents their instance from scraping your data because they shouldn't receive your content if they are blocked, but it doesn't change the public data being available by other means anyways.

I came to find other like minded people.

Follow hashtags and communities that are your interest. Block users and/or instances you would rather not see or be part of. Also, you can find an instance that fits your values that is already blocking instances you disagree with.

I am mostly indifferent of Threads joining at this time, but those that are not in favor, there are options.

Yeah, but also remember that if there is one thing history taught us, it is that a non popular voted president can win still. Many of us were in disbelief when it happened with this guy.

Also, don’t underestimate the fact that people may disagree with Trump, but they only have to disagree/hate Biden more in order to vote for this guy.

So yes, I do agree that his polls may be increasing or rather, I never underestimate that they could be.

This is great. Then all the people complaining that lemmy.world is "too big" can now be appeased with others leaving lemmy.world. Glad to see the community solve each other's problems organically! :)

Thank you for the update. Good work.

So in the example, I just put the remaining biryani with the pan and put it in my chest freezer (no cover or anything) for 20-30 minutes. I was then able to cut them into rectangles and keep formation. I used a chamber sealer (this exact one) to seal it. The biggest difference is that these don’t vacuum really. They do something with atmospheric pressure and then all of the sudden it takes that all out and creates the vacuum effect with seal. I used to have a standard vacuum sealer too and if you flash freeze, I think it should still work fine. After that, I just store them in my freezer.

Yeah, my first experience with it was around the same age when my peers had brought in their Indian food. I thought the same thing at the time. Since then, they have helped me in how to make their dishes and holy smokes. It takes a lot of work (for me at least) compared to other things I cook, but it is worth it.

With the pan in the picture, I made this for 2 people, but I took the leftovers and I flash froze it. I then cut it into squares and vacuum sealed it and then put in the freezer. So, I could make a lot and whenever I want more, I just take each serving out and reheat it (even in microwave, it comes out great again). Saves a lot of time and gives me an authentic quick meal!

This is homemade biryani that uses Bombay Biryani mix with ground turkey and many other spices too. It has a nice spice kick to it. I don't have the recipe handy right now, as I had to combine 2-3 recipes to make this version.

Two things:

Isn’t there always trust issues though? Also, could SSL passthrough help in that?

Instead of CDN for protection, couldn’t a local WAF help solve this too?

Anyone have any theories on this? Is kbin operating with faster servers, bandwidth and etc? I am sure the code is growing/learning on how to optimize too, but I am curious. I do plan to review issues to watch/track/contribute here:

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues

My disclaimer is that I am excited using the fediverse as alternative from Reddit (I have switched to Mastodon from Twitter).

I have been trying a combination of lemmy.world, kbin and a lemmy app like MemmyApp. Each one, I look at "All" and try various things like "hot", "active", "top day" and etc. Each one produces different results. And it is not even close. Rarely are there same posts across each. Also, on lemmy.world, after I sort on one of these, a few seconds go by and it won't stop scrolling with a blast from same communities and users.

So.... what is it I am doing wrong? How do I make my experience more enjoyable? Am I the only one?

(Note: I am aware that kbin/lemmy have their own local and therefore, that would be different, but the "All" filter?)
