Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can’t watch the video rn?
- Comment on What's your take on Bluesky? 7 months ago:
Agree. The episode partially answers some of those questions (of course with a biased answer, since it’s given by their CEO), but I guess that for most of them we’ll just have to wait and see
- Comment on What's your take on Bluesky? 7 months ago:
From what she said, ActivityPub could have adapted to what they wanted, but probably don’t want to. On Bluesky you kinda loose the community feel of your instance that you have and that many people (me included) like.
I elaborated more on the “problems” she listed in another comment here if you want to read more without listening the episode
- Comment on What's your take on Bluesky? 7 months ago:
She was saying that on Mastodon (that was the main activitypub platform she was comparing to) the choice of the instance can heavily influence your experience. If I don’t remember wrong her main points were:
- There’s a local timeline and a federated timeline, and even in the federated timeline you see your instance posts and the posts of the instances yours have federated with, not all posts
- A global search is not always the easiest thing to do, and previous attempts of project that would have facilitated it didn’t received much appreciation from the community
- If your instance admin do choices you don’t agree with (for example blocking another instance) the only way to interact with that other instance is to move yourself
- Moving from an instance to another means loosing your posts and replies, that would stay on the original instance
She was not saying that this approach is wrong, in fact many people on Mastodon like this more community-focused and less-global approach, just that it isn’t what they wanted for Bluesky

And yet, here we are with another conversation about something in the wrong place.
Well, this is is a place to talk about fediverse and ActivityPub, and mine wanted to be the starting point for a discussion about the two protocols and how they compare with each other, if it was actually worth it to create a new protocol or not etc.
I was not pretending that Bluesky is better than the Fediverse, it’s just different and I’m convinced that discussing about how others do stuff can benefit the Fediverse too.
BlueSky and their illusion of federation, what’s to talk about? Anyone can host a server, but all posts need to be indexed by the server of which they’re in charge of otherwise they don’t appear in anyone’s timelines?
As for this, it was my main perplexity after I listened the podcast since they didn’t really entered into the details of how the “multiple servers, one timeline” work. Do you by chance have any resource/link I could read to learn more about that and clarify my doubts?
- Comment on What's your take on Bluesky? 7 months ago:
That’s almost exactly what I was thinking before listening to the podcast.
But there she explained how ActivityPub was missing some of the feature they wanted because of its instance-centric approach and how trying to change that would have been hard (given how sceptical towards changes and everything corporate-related the fediverse community can be), and so they opted for a new protocol since the goals of the two project were with different aims.
Still not 100% convinced tbh, but I can’t deny she has a point…

Even if the corporate is a public benefit corporation with open source foss code both for server and client?

Ahah dw, it happened to me as well and to be fair the OCI UI for opening ports is not the most intuitive piece of software I’ve seen…
- Comment on Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why? 7 months ago:
Currently using Infomaniak.com and I’m really liking it. They are a bit pricy compared to other registrars but
- they have solid privacy policy
- their servers use renewable energy
- they let you set up DDNS with a simple bash script
- they offer some cool email and kSuite benefits with the purchase of a domain
- Comment on Hosting on Oracle 7 months ago:
Not an exper either, but I’ve used OCI Free Tier for a while and most of the times I was encountering issues they were related either to the fact it was ARM and not x86_64 (most tutorials and guides are not written with ARM CPUs in mind) or to the sort of Firewall built in the Oracle Cloud Platform. Have you already checked if the ports required for the services not working are opened correctly?
- Comment on Best way to set up cloudflare dynamic DNS in late 2023? 10 months ago:
I think that this could be the cleanest solution, could you share the curl command you used to interact with the API? (Of course replacing your actual access token with ** etc.)
- Comment on Best way to set up cloudflare dynamic DNS in late 2023? 10 months ago:
I’ve seen it mentioned in a bunch of videos and articles, but I didn’t like the idea of Cloudflare scanning all the stuff that is transferred from and to my server. If I opt just for their DNS service and update it through the API they can’t do that, right?

- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 1 year ago:
Yes but now the same situation that happened with the old IE is happening with Chrome, so I guess a little bit of competition wouldn’t be a bad thing
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 1 year ago:
Of course I find this attempt from Microsoft to make you stick on Edge (together with all the other ones) pretty ridicolous, But after having to use Win11 + Edge for a bunch of days instead of my usual OS and Browser I really don’t understand why people who doesn’t give a shit about their privacy and the welfare of the internet (because if you use Google Chrome this must be your case) just don’t use Edge. It’s basically chrome but with more cool features and a much better integration with the OS!
So I guess in this case maybe it was not an attempt to make user stick with Edge, but just the Edge developers being annoyed by the fact that all what they do is not apreciated 😂
- Comment on good alternatives to raspberry pi which are cheap and efficient? 1 year ago:
I haven’t actually tried it since I’m still a beginner in selfhosting, but I was planning to buy a dedicated hardware for my homeland and my main two choices were the new Raspberry Pi 5 or some mini-PC like the one in this video I don’t know if it could be similar to what you are looking for…
- Comment on Selfhosted Trello Alternative? 1 year ago:
I would love to, but I really can’t figure out how to spin it up on our server… is an ARM server where we are currently using the traefik reverse proxy to expose a couple of services in docker compose stacks.
If you have a Focalboard docker compose file to share (even if it’s using a different reverse proxy and not traefik) it would be super useful for me :)

- Comment on Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down 1 year ago:
I was using .ml domains for my selfhosted services, since it was just an hobby and I didn’t wanted to invest money on it. Apart from Freenom website being pretty unusable since I have memory, I’ve already had troubles renewing them last year and now they stopped working without any notice nor update from Freenom itself. Finally I decided to move to a payed domain from Infomaniak, since it’s been more than a year I’ve been selfhosting and $10/year is a fair price for me.
But still without those free domains I wouldn’t probably ever started selfhosting, and I guess a lot of other people like me wouldn’t have experimented or spin up their projects if they had to pay for a domain from the beginning. So despite my hate for Freenom I guess I have to thank them and hope someone else (maybe a bit more “professional”) will take its place in the future
