At the time of the OP I was testing federating two nodeBB instances. ActivityPub requires HTTPS AFAIK.

I find it interesting that there’s a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.

I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.

I’m attempting to run a NodeBB forum. I’m only assuming that web sockets was the issue because the first search result I came up with that matched my symptoms mentioned it.

Cool. Follow up question: Do I generate the cert once and distribute the same private key to all the servers I’m running? I’m guessing not, but does that mean I run the certbot command on every server?

I looked up Cloudflare tunnels and tried setting one up. Some things future readers may want to know:

1. You have to set Cloudflare as your domain’s authoritative nameservers.
2. You need to set up an account (not a problem) but also have to register a payment method, even for the free tier (no me gusta).
3. Regarding NodeBB specifically, if you set up a tunnel, you can access the forum, even over HTTPS, but it fails when you try to log in. A few minutes of searching leads me to believe it has something to do with web sockets, and the solution requires you to partially expose your IP address, defeating the principle purpose for me to use cloudflare in the first place.

I thought they were sold in the US now with some slight modifications to comply with the law? I know I’ve seen Kinder eggs in my local grocery store.

But yes, the ban is due to a perfectly sensible law having a bizarre edge case.

It’s also why king cakes don’t have the little baby figurines in them I believe.

Yes, I am talking about Lemmy posts.

Texan here. We learned Mexican Spanish (seseo, yeismo, ustedes for everyone, etc) It’s been years since I had to use it for my job but IIRC there’s a difference in the subjunctive verbs as well.

There are also distinct varieties of Spanish spoken in the US that differ from Mexican Spanish. As a general rule, if a common word has a similar-sounding English cognate (often false cognate) the cognate will be used. truck = troca instead of camión, concrete (as in cement) = concreto instead of hormigón, carpet = carpeta instead of alfombra, to park (a car) = parquear instead of estacionar, and so on. This is from my years working as a bilingual call center agent.
