The idea of Boston being an escape from cold is wild to me! Can you clarify what not being alone means in this context?

I found ipfire too limiting. Never delved into the pf/opnsense group. Ended up rolling my own.

Food safety recalls. Source/relevance would depend on your country. Not sure that it meets the criteria for "great", but I found it better than hoping that relevant recalls would make it to a new source I read.

We put so much important information/data through browsers (and smart phones for that matter), and it is becoming hard to trust third party code running on either. Trust in the publisher has become mandatory for me and the only browser plugin I run now is Bitwarden. Neither the app store operators nor the browser publishers seem to have an answer for reliably thwarting malicious actors. I don't know what the answer is, other than developing literacy in writing browser plugins and adding functionality through my own code.

Unmoderated user generated nsfw forums were (are?) a beacon for dubious to illegal content. I forget the specifics, but didn't Pornhub have to pivot from accepting a firehose of free user submitted content after failing to moderate sufficiently? User generated nsfw + free just seems like an impossible balance.

I don't think the option to put some subreddits behind a paywall is necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully the federated link aggregators are in a better place now to absorb another exodus if reddit does scare off a bunch.

This is probably the least controversial thing, other than the little question whether he's usurping authority.

It will be interesting to see where Snikket clients go when the SDK matures. I thought it was going to be used as a base to roll new clients.

I thought Bitwarden was focused on migrating to native mobile apps. Haven't followed closely since the beta started rolling out, but perhaps some of the quality of life issues will be taken care of with that process over?

I like the preferred list concept. I also didn't hate when lemmy world used a bot on news subs to post the media source's political leaning and overall credibility to every submission. Many disagreed with the bot's source of information, but what if every submission here got an automatic pinned **This source lacks consistent credibility because reasons... ** type post with you maintaining the list/assessment the bot draws from?

Between moderation of the worst of the worst and a strong disclaimer on dubious sources, it might help visitors gain better media literacy.

I'm a bit late to the thread this (last) week, but just wanted to say stay safe! I know multiple people who wiped out on unexpected ice (myself included).
