Librewolf has AppImage on their webpage, too. Does it not fit your use case?

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn't pressured to joining it for job searches.

I'm dreading for the day they introduce dynamic pricing based on who's buying and refuses to sell without a full face scan.

And then there's .net classic and .net core. Making up two entirely separate names shouldn't be difficult for marketing executives.

 

So I got hold of a domain that shows my exact full name. I thought it would be useful for showing up as "professional" when working in IT and sending resumes.

I got some mail forwarded using the domain registrar. I also made a small static website, which only has hello world for now but soon will get the contents filled up.

But then... what? I suppose I can host anything I want, but then there's the whole "real name - gotta look professional" aspect that makes me weary of hosting a Lemmy instance, for example, when the domain without my name attached wouldn't.

I suppose having personal domains were cool in the 90s where people were barely learning about "the internets". Not so anymore?

Is there a usefulness in having a domain name with your real name attached on this age?

It should be perfectly doable. The only difference is that the server in on the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.101) instead of localhost (127.0.0.1). You might need to configure your OS firewall to let traffic through.

 

It often happens that a given lemmy link didn't match with my own login from another instance. This causes troubles to comment and participate in the thread. This is what I have learned so far. Is there a better method of doing this? Browser extension suggestions are welcome.

Context:

  • Have an account @username on instance lemmy.test and being logged in
  • Given a lemmy link lemmy.example.com/post/12345
  • Want to comment as @username@lemmy.test on lemmy.example.com/post/12345

Expected behavior:

  • Opening links from lemmy.example.com automatically recognizes login from lemmy.test, commenting and voting done without problems

Actual behavior:

  • Instance lemmy.example.com expects logins only from its own server, not other federated servers like lemmy.test

Manual fix (for web browsers):

  • Check for the "federation link" (the icon with five-colored star, is there a name for this?) from linked URL's page. (If the icon does not exist, check Observations below)
  • Open "search" from own instance (lemmy.test > search)
  • Enter the "federation link" at search bar.
  • First result should be a URL that's compatible with the own instance: e.g. lemmy.test/post/98765

Observations:

  • If the link and its OP shares the same instance domain (@user@lemmy.example.com posting to [!community@lemmy.example.com](/c/community@lemmy.example.com)), then the federation link should be the link itself (please confirm if this is actually true).
  • If not, then the "federation link" has to be obtained.
  • INCLUDE HTTPS before domain, otherwise it won't appear in the search:

https://lemmy.example.com/post/12345 OK
lemmy.example.com/post/12345 NOT OK
