Is much nicer 👍
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 5 days ago:
Sounds quite good, but just use regular Debian, ubuntu isn’t any better and annoying with their Snap BS.
I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?
You can set up a Wireguard VPN.
- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 1 week ago:
Well, if you have read it then your cherry picking of minor ways Bluesky is slighly less closed comes accross as pretty bad faith 🤷

Hmm, did Pocketbase add AP support, or how is this implemented behind the scenes?

- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 1 week ago:
Please PM me about it.
- Comment on Cat door in window 1 week ago:
Maybe just a hint to get you thinking out of the box, but cat doors really don’t need to be at ground level. They will happily climb somewhere to get in and out.
- Comment on A large solar plant in California is closing – what does it mean for solar power? 2 weeks ago:
If I remember correctly this was a scam anyways as it needed a lot of natural gas to pre-heat the central tower in the morning or so. So on less sunny days it was net-negative energy wise. But I might remember wrong.
- Comment on Do instances exist where you can be 13+? 2 weeks ago:
I think you should find a smaller, well moderated instance and show it to your parents first. If they consent with her signing up to it, it should be fine and generally speaking there is no practical way for instances to check the age of their members anyways.
- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 2 weeks ago:
Tumblr is being reworked to have a Wordpress backend right now, and Wordpress already has well working ActivityPub support, so yes, Tumblr will very likely happen once they made the switch.
I suspect the technical debt in Tumblr was larger than expected when the first announce federation support, and now it became nearly a full rewrite, which takes time.
- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 2 weeks ago:
The most they can do is add a load of more users to the fediverse then take them away again. For them to successfully EEE the fediverse, it would require convincing existing fediverse users to switch to threads. I cannot see that happening on here on any noticeable scale.
Na, they were quite explicit what their plan is: they realized that there are interesting “content creators” on the fediverse, and that many other “content creators” are eying the fediverse and similar platforms as a way to have more control over the platform they use. And ultimately users will follow the creators, once the creators are sufficiently fed up with being taken hostage by facebook etc. So they are willing to let the creators switch to the fediverse, but want to retain the users as ultimatly that is where their revenue is coming from via advertisement and data harvesting.

- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 weeks ago:
It’s not any worse than the differen’t feature support levels of different Matrix clients. But especially on Android, XMPP has nice modern clients with all the features you woukd expect, including a/v calls and reactions/stickers.
The main issue right now are up to date Windows desktop clients, but on Linux desktop there are some good options.
- Comment on Which Lemmy instances use Photon? 2 weeks ago:
We run the latest beta.7 on photon.slrpnk.net
- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 weeks ago:
There is: XMPP 🤷
- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 weeks ago:
There is not much they can do about it short of shutting down the entire server. Due to how matrix functions internally any sufficiently large federated homeserver replicates most of the entire network.
- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 weeks ago:
It is a bit counter-intuitive but restricting new signups will not help them much. The way the matrix protocol is designed, i.e. replicating everything on every server, mean that clients connecting to their server have only a minor impact. As long as most rooms of the entire matrix network rooms are replicated on matrix.org their costs will stay high and there isn’t really much they can do about that.
- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 weeks ago:
Deltachat works ok for 1:1 chats and small groups. It is totally unsuitable for large public channels as it doesn’t really have a concept of group chats and just pretends so by (in email parlance) adds every one in ‘CC’. This only works ok for small private groups.
IRC just needs to get it’s shit together and start adopting IRCv3 features on the larger servers. The problem is really only that networks like libera.chat run a feature set that is at least 15 years behind what IRC can actually do.
- Comment on matrix is cooked 2 weeks ago:
This article is nonsense. The Foundation was always a front for New Vector and their board is largely made up by New Vector employees. So of course they knew what was going on.
New Vector simply decided that the strategy to make Matrix appear as an open standard was against their business interests and thus left the foundation to fend for itself with obvious consequences.

They were mostly fedup with being forced to fight in the African colonies, but yes.
- Comment on What's a niche fediverse software you like? 2 weeks ago:
Search on my Akkoma instance works reasonably well. Of course there is no central index, so it can only find what it has federated before.
- Comment on Waterproof biodegradable outdoor cardboard furniture and stuff – NightHawkInLight (29:32) 2 weeks ago:
The shellac and beeswax sounds indeed interesting for various puposes. I knew a similar technique for water-proofing fabic with dissolved silicone, but it is hard to use that to fix leaks in place after installation and is also obviously not very environmentally friendly.

kanboard.org with some plugins maybe?
- Comment on FOSS & Self-Hosted fundraising infrastructures 4 weeks ago:
Currently only the Stripe backend supports recurrent payments by charging a credit card automatically. For Taler I plan to add an invoice like reminder email to simulate something similar.
One time payments are of course supported by both.
- Comment on FOSS & Self-Hosted fundraising infrastructures 4 weeks ago:
I started working on a modernized Fosspay fork and also got a small NLnet grant to add GNU Taler support to it. Sadly I am extremely busy with another project the next three months, but I expect to make some progress on it before the end of the year.
My repo can be foung here: f-hub.org/Meta/contributron
- Comment on Software for Homeserver router combo 5 weeks ago:
The R3 isn’t really powerful enough for that.
On small x86 routers you can install Opnsense or IPfire which come with some non-router software to run a reverse-proxy or so. IP fire also allows to run full VMs, but the more advanced features are pretty limited.
Some people also do the reverse and run a full OS on them and then virtualize Opnsense and directly pass through a NIC to that VM.
- Comment on Cost of running a mastodon instance 1 month ago:
To give you ballpark figures. Self-hosting will not save you much compared to that.
Software like Akkoma or GoToSocial will save you some CPU and RAM costs, but are more optimized for smaller instances.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.
The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.
I find it highly slanderous to be labled a “Rhodesia lover” for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Please stop lying. I never defend Rhodesia in any shape or form. I simply stated the fact that Zimbabwe is considered the successor state by international law and shared some historical facts that you can also read up on the Wikipedia or any history book.
