That was it! I messed around with the port-forward settings with no luck in the past. Disabling the "Masquerade" option in the firewall settings for the server's VLAN worked. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks. I have been lurking ever since Reddit's third-party client shenanigans, actually. 😅
The Android client has a recurring bug where the connection to the Tailnet and the DNS break about half the time when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Plus, I can't use it and a VPN at the same time.
I can remedy that by toggling the connection off and on from the notifications panel, but it still keeps breaking with stuff that use a persistent connection, like ntfy (a UnifiedPush server).
So called "Mining Rigs" are powerful computers. People are lending their computational resources to a blockchain in exchange for some cryptocurrency.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we had a crypto-boom where a lot of people were hoarding gaming graphics cards (which were cheaper than dedicated cryptocurrency mining hardware) for increased earnings.
This led to a lot of people (particularly gamers) hating cryptocurrencies and miners, not unlike the RAM crisis going on right now due to the "AI" bubble.
Also, mining rigs draw a lot of power to operate, which comes out as heat. The temperature of Hell talked about in the post might refer to this, or simply sinful (from the perspective of gamers) nature of mining.
The unfortunate thing is that OEMs don't really have an incentive to ship Linux-powered systems.
Have you ever noticed how vendors who ship computers with Linux often do so at the same or greater cost than Windows? I believe I have heard somewhere that Microsoft subsidizes OEMs for shipping with Windows, which is scummy but Linux can't really compete with this.
(Note that I am not sure how much of this is depends on my client - Voyager.)
Ability to filter out posts made by people from the instances I have blocked, on communities that I did not block.
For example: feddit.org seems to have blocked all IPs from my country so I cannot see any posts made by them (I can only see their crossposts).
However, people on that instance can post to lemmy.world and while I can see the post text, any media fails to load. Sometimes, when I am not lazy, I use a VPN to see such posts in detail.
