There are attributes in the my_user for it, however even setting it to true via API as there are no "settings" for it yet on my account does nothing as there is no functionality implemented at the moment as far I understand:

"my_user": {
    "local_user_view": {
        "local_user": {
            "id": removed_for_privacy,
            "person_id": 637014,
            "email": "removed_for_privacy",
            "show_nsfw": true,
            "theme": "browser",
            "default_sort_type": "Active",
            "default_listing_type": "Local",
            "interface_language": "browser",
            "show_avatars": true,
            "send_notifications_to_email": false,
            "validator_time": "removed_for_privacy",
            "show_scores": true,
            "show_bot_accounts": true,
            "show_read_posts": true,
            "show_new_post_notifs": false,
            "email_verified": true,
            "accepted_application": true,
            "open_links_in_new_tab": true,
            "infinite_scroll_enabled": true
        },

But damn it would be a nice feature tho.

That’s pretty small tbh did expect much more but I guess offloading content traffic to 3rd party does the most heavy lifting. Thanks for the insight!

I don’t think obstructing or hiding votes is the way to go. Them being public is actually better and it should be transparent to all users. Besides that what prevents spammers and vote manipulators to setup their own instances to see the votes?

Bandwidth is very much a concern, I’ll think they of course have multiple 1Gb/s and 10Gb/s NICs however those can also be capped if too many people download the files at the same time. I’ve had a small file hosting service and it capped out my 1Gb/s connection pretty easily after a while. Had to upgrade on 10Gb NICs and it still overloaded them after a few weeks, now who is going to pay for that even if the bandwidth is unmetered.

And going…

I tried so hard to look for the cat that my brain convinced me it should be in the tree branches until I realized that little void just creeping there <3

Y’all should be proud of yourself, lurking is just so much comfier. Everyone trying it’s best tho and we should keep up the engagement.

All of my homies use Debian for servers, can’t do much wrong with the stability of it, although newer packages are sometimes difficult to get around but not an issue directly.
