  • Most Lemmy instances do not proxy images. This means every little profile picture, every thumbnail, etc, are all downloaded from different servers. There’s very few privacy protections in clients either. It’s most likely you just scrolled past a page with a post that had that as a link.

    For example, <- this isn’t actually a real image, but your client will try and download it. And you’ve just sent your IP address and browser information to it.








  • this is important, and will help you find solutions much more specific than just “system freeze”

    • Right after a crash, once you reboot, run journalctl -b -1 and scroll to the bottom. Look for any big red text, all of that will be very helpful to diagnose this issue

    Otherwise,

    • Does it freeze permanently, requiring a reboot, or for a few seconds?
      • If it’s just for a few seconds, and you’re on an AMD system, it would sound like an fTPM stutter. A BIOS update would likely fix that, it was a widespread issue.
    • Are you using an AMD or NVIDIA GPU?
    • Do you play any games or use any software that uses OpenGL? (Blender and minecraft are some I’ve had problems in before)



  • It might be overkill, but my website xylight.dev is written in Svelte with the framework Sveltekit. I use the adapter-static and disabled the client JavaScript with export const csr = false in my +layout.ts.

    I really like Svelte since it lets me write reusable components really quickly, with very native feeling markup that, once I prerender it, expands into normal HTML.
