Just for the humor, I'm going to let this one slide on rule 2 and 5.

Acronyms are typically uppercase, so TOR makes sense, even if they (Tor) don't format it that way.
Either way is fine though, what a strange thing to correct someone on tbh.

This has all been ridiculous.
Have a good one.

Not going to argue with you about it here, but the short is: if that's true, when I messaged you, you should have just had a conversation with me about it instead of all of this.
Have a good one.

Well thanks for understanding. The question itself was not a problem, hopefully that helps as well.

YSK: some places it is a crime to ask questions
Because as the mod that removed the post, I'd like to give you my perspective if you'll let me.
- OP made a post that seemed to break rule 5 (we had multiple reports on it), and did not seem like a good-faith question breaking rule 1, so I removed the post
- OP then makes a second post being fairly passive towards me, further showing that they were not posting in good-faith. So once again, removed the post for rule 1 and 5, messaged OP as well explaining this. This could have been a temp ban, I was being nice here, and reaching out to give OP the chance to explain they were not posting in bad faith.
- OP then posts 13 times about the above in other communities, breaking some of the rules in those communities.
As mods it's mayhem if you don't enforce your rules, which is all I was trying to do, we have each rule to keep the community from getting out of control and offtopic. If we had no rules, the community would be filled with a bunch of trolls and offtopic posts.
IMO OP has proved multiple times now that their question was not in good-faith, and they were seeking out arguments (check their other comments) and drama (see the 13 posts).
Icing on the cake: we left their rephrased question up to avoid more of this drama, OP still kept posting the screenshots.

Just want to make sure I understand, you blocked a community because they removed a post that broke their rules?
Greetings everyone,
We wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about the !business@lemmy.world community on Lemmy.World which hasn't gained much traction. Additionally, we've noticed occasional complaints about Business-related news being posted in the Technology community. To address this, we want to encourage our community members to engage with the Business community.
While we'll still permit Technology-related business news here, unless it becomes overly repetitive, we kindly ask that you consider cross-posting such content to the Business community. This will help foster a more focused discussion environment in both communities.
We've interacted with the mod team of the Business community, and they seem like a dedicated and welcoming group, much like the rest of us here on Lemmy. If you're interested, we encourage you to check out their community and show them some support!
Let's continue to build a thriving and inclusive ecosystem across all our communities on Lemmy.Wo
Unity Meme Post
Seems that a lot of us have some funny Unity memes, which have been getting removed due to Rule 7.
Making this post and pinning it for everyone to share their Unity memes about this whole fiasco, please only comment the memes here, if you make a post with one it will be removed.
Banner / Logo Contest
Hey everyone!
We have decided to do a banner and logo contest, here is how to participate:
- Any submission must be commented below in its own thread, that way they are easy for everyone to find. Any top level comments that are not a submission will be removed, commenting on submissions thread is allowed.
- Everyone can vote on the ones listed below to help the decision, but the mods will pick their favorites and make a separate post for the community to vote on.
- Obviously the design must be tech/news related, all art forms welcome, and please no NSFW. You can submit just a banner, or just a logo, or both if you wish!
- Winner will get sidebar acknowledgement and bragging rights. If multiple designs are liked by the community, we will most likely cycle threw a few different banners/logos throughout the year and give each credit on the sidebar.
- Anything Elon Musk will be launched by Space-X directly into the sun at the speed of light.
- Be excellent to each other!
Weekly tech discussion and tech support thread
Hey everybody, feel free to post any tech support or general tech discussion questions you have right here.
As always, be excellent to each other.
Yours truly, moderators.
O365 Email Encryption
My company is just starting to utilize O365 email encryption for sensitive information, which I know a lot of people are already using.
One thing we've run into is when sending a sensitive email to a third-party vendor, a lot of them utilize shared mailboxes/distribution groups, so the encryption is not allowing the members of the external mailbox/group to open the encrypted email as their account doesn't have permissions (the group email address does, instead of their individual account).
The only way I've come up with to solve this issue is setting the encrypted emails to not allow a "social" sign-on for decryption, and instead only offer "send a one-time passcode" as the authentication method, then the group/mailbox receives the code to view the email.
Curious how others have combatted this issue if they've crossed it, this feature has been around a while and I am unable to find much on Google about it specifically.
For the moment, users are just re-sending the encrypted ema

Does anyone else use old equipment for homelab use? If so, what are you running?
A few years ago I had a couple old and slow Optiplex's running Hyper-V, with Windows/Linux VM's, doing things like NPS, AD, etc.
Had some old equipment collecting dust, so I've built out a decent homelab and am curious if anyone else has done the same, and if so what are they running on them for fun?
In my new "rack":
- PowerEdge R430
- Running ProxMox, with a Windows VM (DC), and a Linux VM with Docker for Plex
- EqualLogic PS4100
- VM storage for both PowerEdge servers (10TB)
- Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 250w
- PowerEdge R720
- Running ProxMox, with some Linux VM's, most utilizing Docker for Plex "assistance/automations" (ahem), NextCloud for phone photo backup and wife's photography, and another DC as a failover of R430's DC.
