Yup there’s at least a few projects that can do in browser file transfer using WebRTC e.g.

https://sendfiles.dev/

https://sharedrop.io/

https://github.com/kern/filepizza

And of course https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole (they used to have a website too but maybe that went away?)

Not sure if it fits what you’re looking for but I usually use YUMI for multi boot situations, can’t recall it giving me any issues over the years. But I don’t do anything overly complex either.

Never had the need to use Ventoy myself so can’t really give a good comparison but maybe others have used both & can give a better review.

PS - For what it’s worth my basic toolkit is YUMI with https://www.system-rescue.org and https://www.memtest.org, that alone covers the vast majority of my diagnostics/rescue situations. But I’ve also added Windows 10 ISO onto the multi boot on occasion which could be useful for getting to a Windows prompt with Windows tools when needed - though I have a habit of keeping Windows on its own USB via https://rufus.ie

Sounds like you’re assuming there was some legal issue that triggered this community blocking? Lemmy.world admins did not receive any legal notices prior to this action, it was just their kneejerk response to a troll from another instance.

EDIT: Lemmy.world seems to be down right this second so you may not be able to load it, LOL.

Piracy subreddits still exist on Reddit. Lemmy.world admins are apparently blocking communities that even Reddit allows.

Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?

Just the mere encouragement & discussion, yes. The banned communities do not allow direct links to pirated content (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a rule forbidding that).

It’s strange to see people saying there was some sort of legit reasoning, the lemmy.world admins did not receive any sort of legal DMCA/NTD request or anything of the sort. They were simply trolled hard by a brand new account from lemm.ee asking to defederate from “piracy” communities and lemmy.world admins took the bait. See the post yourself https://lemmy.world/post/3175920

Incidentally that same user has created troll accounts at other instances & have been getting themselves banned, they were already banned at the dbzer0 instance (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1956277) so it looks like it was simple retaliation to attempt to trick other instances into defederating/blocking them.

Idk if it’ll let you edit them without deleting them.

Yup it does, that’s how I used it. Did a cycle to edit with random words, afterwards checked if it worked & if it looked okay went ahead with a delete.

The edit feature is to create a new entry on the database in case reddit isn’t actually deleting comments from their database when they show as deleted. Although if they’re doing that then they probably keep a change log of the comments as well.

You know I thought that too. But I’ve seen some people talk about their GDPR data requests & they received the last edited version of their posts/comments, not the original. The data request doesn’t even contain anything like a change log of every post/comment. But I guess you could argue the data request is fulfilled with just the last version regardless of how many versions of the same post/comment actually exists.

I used Power Delete Suite. It does work fine with one caveat: It’ll only action on posts/comments that are displayed in your Reddit user profile.

You’d think that’s enough but I’m pretty sure Reddit’s own backend database is broken. There are definitely posts/comments within Reddit that are yours but won’t display in your own Reddit profile. Like I think for older accounts sometimes posts/comments get disassociated from your profile page & you won’t see them anymore unless you search around in reddit.com or via google.

For example before I deleted anything I did a backup using Power Delete Suite. Now that my Reddit user profile is mostly empty I am still finding old comments using the standard reddit.com search, & I can still edit/delete those manually even though they do not display in my Reddit profile. And interestingly they don’t appear in my backup file that was created with Power Delete Suite - Leading me to believe that these comments exist in Reddit’s database but somehow got detached from displaying in my main Reddit profile.

… so depending how you want to go about it, maybe don’t close your Reddit account right away. You may need it if you want to search for & edit/delete posts/comments that don’t display in your Reddit profile.

Eh it depends. When we had one of our subs locked there in protest we constantly received modmail from random google searchers asking to be let in so they can read random posts they found via google. The funny thing is many of those posts were things I had commented answers in. Makes me wonder how many of those google searches are now dead ends after the comment answer was deleted.

On the other side, back when I was a mod there I used to point people to earlier posts that discussed whatever question was being asked & sometimes people would complain that the earlier posts were useless since other people deleted their own comment answers in them. Even before Reddit protests people would routinely wipe their Reddit history, as a mod it was easy to see it happen in real time.

So overall people deleting their own comments does have some effect on making searches pointing to Reddit, or within Reddit, kind of useless.
