Sorry for the downtime! Unfortunately our secondary firewall took over for some reason, and haproxy failed to properly come up.
I’ll be scheduling a maintenance window in the next few days to do some further digging, so I can make sure this is fully resolved.

…sick of reddit kowtowing to billionaires interests
Welcome. If you’re not aware, BlueSky is seeded by venture capital money and is generally under the ownership of billionaires; their “federation” is you optionally running a server that hosts your own (meta)data but the access to use that data (your content feed) still goes through one and only one website owned, operated and moderated by billionaires. They’ve already made it well known they intend on adding ads to their platform and have not yet worked out actual server federation. $0.02

I uploaded giga upon gigabytes of well-curated (tags, etc.) songs - the max was 400MB per file so you could just about fit a 1 hour DJ session into that as a single “song” as well. The desktop app was complete garbage but you could eventually get your entire MP3 collection uploaded as a massive recommendation seed for the engine to use “more like this!”. Or put 30 songs into a playlist and then say “make me a radio station based on these 30 songs.” and next thing you new you had a 500 long tracks playlist of similar music. sigh those were the good days.
Unfortunately it had a lot of internal track mis-labeling problems; a number of my saved playlists got destroyed when the conversion to YTM happened as the two services could not agree on what a given song was, so YTM thoughtfully made a mess of it. (as well as GM having songs YTM did not, so all those just disappeared too). This soured me on ever adopting YTM and pushed me back to Shoutcast/Icecast solutions.
South Texan here, a lot of names are “non-white” (Hispanic), I mean it’s as common as water for anyone to have a Hispanic sounding last name anywhere San Antonio and further south - birth or marriage (and marriage is common, and there are a bajillion mixed-race people/kids here). This incident is taking place in probably the most southern part of Texas, literally miles from the Mexican border. The chances of Hispanic last names being 90% of the population goes up dramatically.
I instead suspect someone ratted them out, a rival or hater etc. and ICE saw a way to make a news headline for Trump propoganda.
Replacing any of the paid-for recommendation services is hard in my experience (I loved the Google Music recommendation engine, RIP). Anyways you sort of have two paths of travel to intertwine if you want to stay away from The Big Boys™:
(a) Find independent streaming sites like SomaFM, Big Sonic Heaven and DKFM ([1], amongst many others) which fit your genres as they routinely have “new tracks weekend” besides the broad exposure you get to hearing bands you’ve never heard as the volunteer DJs rotate their preferences. These are your old school original Shoutcast / Icecast streams run solely on donations, there are a lot of them out there for every genre.
(b) Look into something like https://audiomack.com/ - I don’t use it (maybe I should!) but it “feels like” it might be a fit for your needs based on your OP details. Maybe not, at least give it a glance and see what’s going on with it as it does look interesting. Something else might catch your eye at: https://bandcampalternative.com/
[1] some sites from various genres:
My main issue with Organic Maps is how bad the night mode map view is. They’ve effectively just turned the background black without adjusting street colors; so all the main orange/gold main roads have no contrast and disappear into the blackness. I’m sadly forced to keep it in Day mode just so it can be read and used, regardless of time of day. :-/
I fear you may have misread my intention in comment; nothing nefarious intended, it’s about the “no updates to this app for years” which can equal “security issues unpatched” for the average, regular person. You did not disclaim the above details in your OP, you are NOT a normal user and had I known that I would never have commented.
All the other replies tiptoeing around this - OP, your son has hormones raging in his body, he’s going to masturbate a lot. In my opinion and I’m going to be blunt, maybe focus on:
letting him know it’s normal for all this hormonal activity, masturbation is OK and not something to be frowned upon or ridiculed (well unless you two joke a lot which would be cool). In fact, as he starts to go out on dates gently suggest he rub one out before the date to calm his hormones the F down, which leads me to…
he’s gonna get boners all the time, it’s just a thing that comes with all those raging hormones. It can happen in unfortunate places and unfortunate circumstances (8th grade science class wearing stretchy shorts? SURE WHY NOT), so as a mom be aware this could be happening but he of course doesn’t want to say anything to you. Ignore or treat it as normal (or again, bust a joke if you’re tight like that).
teach him to respect his partners and not be just letting his hormones take over and he wants to stick his dick in everything. This is I feel something is missed on all “sex ed”, to me the biggest part is not the physical act but the negative emotional results if he lets those hormones take over. Hetero or gay doesn’t matter, it’s all the same - your partner has feelings and be aware (“don’t be an f’ing asshole”).
I’m of an age these days, but man I wish someone in an adult capacity had covered the above when I was a teenager. Instead, growing up with repressed catholic type parents it took me way, way too long to grasp the above on my own.
Side comment, I find it more … interesting? (concerning?) they have “essential apps can’t run on 14” which to me is sort of a red flag event for those apps. $0.02 we’re up to 15 mainline with 16 coming soon, relying on apps stuck back on 13 never updated would not work for my conscious.
…and as solutions we have many companies who will do it all for you for $5/mo (more or less), the cost of running a basic cloud server. My time and energy in making sure my email is “always good” is worth paying $5/mo to let Fastmail handle the chore. $0.02
Honestly, I live in a timeline where we have openly corrupt Supreme Court justices like Clarence Thomas in our life. It is my opinion they will choose their own personal enrichment over the actual fairness of a situation. Dropping a case admits you were wrong and these folks don’t want to be seen as making any mistake in judgement, it hurts their careers and personal enrichment.

The broken thumbnails over here have re-fetched (I don’t run an instance to know how this works in detail), those broken yesterday in my screenshot above have self-healed and all (past) thumbnails looking great! thanks.
Everything you just posted for 18 Feb just minutes ago shows up fine over here, so it’s… random. :-/
@m_f@discuss.online - seeing a lot of broken thumbnail pulls from lemm.ee -> discuss.online, there might be some server instance rate limiting going on. Did not happen when posted via sh.itjust.works by Seb etc.
Sunaraus (lemm.ee owner) has a thread about this somewhere in the lemm.ee Meta section, the broken thumbnails means the lemm.ee server could not grab the source image to generate a localized thumbnail of it for the post listing. Rate limiting between servers was mentioned as a frequent cause.
(this breaks the webUI Lemmmy experience for users such as myself who click the thumbnail to get an inline full image, a broken thumbnail causes the image to open as an external link instead)

Emphasis mine:
The reform eliminated the word “currency” when referring to bitcoin, but says it is “legal tender.” Despite the lack of clarity, it lifts, as required by the IMF, the obligation to accept it in transactions or debt payments, a key condition for it to be “legal tender,” according to economic analysts. With the change, “if someone owes you money and wants to pay you in bitcoin, you can refuse to be paid in bitcoin, but you cannot refuse if it’s legal tender,” economist Carlos Acevedo explained.
…
A recent survey by the Central American University (UCA) revealed that 92% of Salvadorans did not use bitcoin in their transactions in 2024.

If you’re not seeing the QR code image, something may be blocking it on your end (browser setting too strict, maybe an ad blocker, pihole gone rogue, who knows). It should look like this when you click the button down on the bottom left to begin setup:
The link at the top (“installation link”) is oddly named, it’s a
totp://site:username?secret=xxxxxxxwhere the value ofsecretis the TOTP seed (secret key) you could manually cut & paste into an app (Bitwarden OTP, KeepassXC OTP, etc.) if you can’t scan the image.PSA edit: for anyone wondering (I did!) - this screenshot above is “safe”, the offered TOTP secret changes on every load of your settings page and clicking that button. If you were thinking about scanning that image for ill gotten gains, it was invalid the minute I closed the Settings tab.
