I thought FAQs were always just made up.
I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.
I am also dumb and worthless.

I feel like NGINX is simplest to configure. And it’s in the repos already, so I don’t see the advantage here.
Easy to do redirects, directory listings, serving a static website, setting mime types of specific files, basic user authentication, using HTTPS, using it as reverse proxy, limiting request types, limiting bandwidth, and making the directory listings far nicer with fancyindex module. That’s all I need and it’s pretty simple to do with NGINX. I don’t know what the Python HTTP server does, nor how to use.
Because… I can.
And it’s portable.
Termux on Android.
I’ve got some videos on my phone I might want to watch on random computers, so I serve them up with NGINX. I’ve got wget-created mirrors of some old websites on my phone, so I serve them up with NGINX. Other files I may want to move out from my phone to untrusted computers on the network can too be served up simply by NGINX.
I’ve got the full Wikipedia zim file from Kiwix on my Micro SD card, so I run kiwix-serve (behind NGINX).
I’ve got all the music on my phone, naturally the phone is then running my Navidrome server (behind NGINX).
Of course, I may want to manage this from a computer, so it’s running SSH server.
My phone is always connected to VPN and uses NextDNS, naturally I may want to use this with other computers, but I can’t install software to computers I don’t own (I mean, I can, but … it would be disliked), naturally it is then running Tiniproxy HTTP proxy server.
Some desktop GUI apps can be useful on a phone too. noaa-apt, Kid3, Audacity, desktop Firefox, Handbrake because I am too dumb for ffmpeg, so I run XFCE DE on it. Naturally, I can access it from a computer (I know) too, after all it’s accessed via a VNC server.
Am I stupid enough to expose something using HTTP protocol running on my phone to the internet? Of course I am! I can use cloudflared.
Do I want to encrypt a file? I can use GPG.
Do I want to create a compressed archive? I’ve got TAr and GZip.
Do I want to browse Gopher? I’ve got Lynx.
SSH or telnet somewhere? The clients are there.
Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.
Based on this Chromebooks can run Firefox flatpaks.
Here’s the thing…it’s completely fake and has been circling the internet since 2017.

Bank and government website behind Cloudflare???
Fuck, I just checked, my bank is also behind Cloudflare, what the fuck…
I kind of assumed a bank wouldn’t put another company with ability to view all transferred data between customers and themselves.
How much of the internet is not behind CF?
I should probably try blocking their IPs and see what will still work.
But it also works with touchscreen taps, and randomizing tap position, duration, and delay is fairly simple.
I prefer optical media if possible. Should survive a few decades, assuming good quality discs.
But I’d much rather use LTO tape if it wasn’t so expensive to get the drive.
But from experience, hams are usually enthusiastic to explain anything related you might be interested in
I haven’t yet gotten a car, nor do I plan to.
I am 35, you’re classified
The Lemmy energy is strong here.
With LemmyUI that also applies to videos and audio. With images, you can put them inside a link text field to get a button.
OK, I’ll get stoned for saying this, but I’d welcome it if done properly.
It’s a large user base, lots of niche communities.
The more complicated part would be moderation, as that’s already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.
I think there might be some unaddressed confusion here. I see you mention “lemmy world”, however that is just one instance running Lemmy software. It is open-source, so maybe somebody could fork it, but I don’t think it’s something to ask from lemmy.world. Maybe from the official Lemmy devs, but do keep in mind they’re just volunteers.
As for posting on your profile, that’s something for the side of micro-blogging. Standalone, that could be Mastodon in the Fediverse. But there’s also MBin (active KBin fork) which is compatible with Mastodon.
Perhaps it would better fit MBin.
If integrate Lemmy with something, that should be Mastodon first.
Kbin/Mbin show votes too.
Edit: But I think downvotes are hidden by default now.
Voting is more akin to signing the guestbook.
Meh, that’s rather just “I was here” or “I read this”. Voting is more like “I liked/disliked this book”.
I mean, wouldn’t that be similar to leaves moving in wind though?
