  To my not up-to-date knowledge (2021-ish) audio calls work but they require an extension (on both participants) and are limited to 1:1, no “audio conference” support.

  I do think there’s bridging for Mumble? If so that should at least cover the “audio chat” use case.

  Good luck! Report results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This whole “FOSS names are bad” sounds like a Mccarthyism sysop by this point. Like, really, who is pushing that crap?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  XMPP aka Jabber.

  Geez, I was willing to bet some coins that this was about cryptography either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Serious) networking with other academics appears difficult⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly it could be worse. Moving to Xitter to Bullshitsky is at least taking some (temporary) steps of progress towards moving to the Fediverse.

  The trick is to support them to do more than that before the cycle repeats.

  Finally,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rootless Containers with Podman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh thanks, I know well about it. podman unshare is the reason why those permission issues are not major (eg.: you don’t need to ever sudo to solve the permission issues rootless causes, I think?). But my going to was more focused o borking the output or workflow of using some of the “usual” tools of a Linux console, such as needing to account for the potential existence of a podman environment on any given user account if you ever need to rely on the recursive results of things like chmod or find.

  core memory unlocked

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨theoretical considerations on identity management⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What i argue now is that such an identity providing server is not technically necessary. You could use something like an ~/.ssh/id_rsa file that you generate on your own computer and use that public key to identify yourself on the fediverse.

  Wouldn’t this require a keyserver anyway, GPG-style, since you need to have a means to guarantee that services all around can see your public key?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternatives to Mattermost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing (well maaaaaaybe IRC) beats XMPP / Jabber when it comes to installing for small institutional needs. There are pretty good servers around, such as Prosody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can understand the point that Word is needed for producing some borked, glitched, eldritch formatting that 99% of people expect as correct because Office is that much widespread and has trained people to be Wrong on the Internet; and in that case yeah I would still recommend running a(n older version of!) Office just so that you can process (and test) that you are producing what is expected in the exchange.

  It’s curious actually. While LO compatibility has improved, I don’t think anything close to an umbrella “Imitate Word [$VERSION] Breakages” option has ever been added or even considered for LO? How about the other Word imitators? Can eg.: WPS or Calligra replicate Microslop idosyncracies? Because if so, running those would be better than running Office on a remote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rootless Containers with Podman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty great, and I like that the workflow for creating containers is sliiiightly easier than on Docker. I switched from Docker to Podman for most stuff about a year ago and so far there are only two hiccups that I lament:

  • the higher disk consumption due to not being able to share image storage. (I’ve tried with additionalstorages but that seems to only be respected for podman run; podman build and podman compose seem to ignore it and always pull images from the registries)

  • Some annoying isses with fule permissions due to rootless design - running rootless containers will create files under your user storage that you as a user have no permission to transfer or remove for cleanup or security, and severely breaks the output of tools like du or find due to error spammage.

  There’s a lot of things to hate in the world – it’s the mark of wanting to make it better. If you are defined by thinking that hating Reddit is significant, you need a hobby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If the only thing you need is not even the whole Office suite but just a Word processor (and not even any particular version) and since you’ll be remoting to it for the graphical access, you don’t need to spin up a whole Windows VM for that. You can just spin up something with Wine and install the Word component from Office 2013 on that (I’d say Office 2013 at most; you might be able to get away with Office 2007 but I wouldn’t recommend it).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Defaults matter. We always complain about that when it comes to eg.: Firefox, no sense in being a hypocrite here and letting Piefed do just about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I see we are having fun these places!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨De-Escalating Social Media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The extra b was half in jest, but yeah. I was actually surprised at first to find out “mobb” with two bs is an actual word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨De-Escalating Social Media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s from “mobb”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨De-Escalating Social Media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That and the problem people are the ones who wouldn’t use this function in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Booo. Here I was hoping for something serious to spice up the news and it just turns out it’s “it runs on a browser”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. You know, Shadow Profiles? Datasets on users collected for the purpose of control and manipulation, basically the equivalent to back when McCarthynism and the FBI had a “dossier” on you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The 99% of the code does not deal with keeping Shadow Profiles on netizens and punishing them (as well as misinforming them about what’s going on). This 50something lines, does, and thus is a weighed key on which to judge the subject.

  , we need […] community evangelists

  What will they be commenting to the public on the CCP-like thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it reeks of “you can complain about CCP-like behaviour but not in a way that actually effects any change”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait what? I read in other threads the code was bad, not I didn’t think it’d be this bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was using the pro/anti AI as an example but the point is, Piefed already has a history of editorioalizing user discourse secrelty and for the benefit (or whininess) of the dev. I could have used eg.: pro/anti shipping, or pro/anti consumerism instead. The point is the reputation is hard to earn back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s funny that it’s even stricter “moderation” AND NOW ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.

  Lol, people so afraid of Lemmy devs bowing to the CCP that they migrate to the fediverse option that actually implements CCP societal control features. McCarthysim really did a number on the Amerikkkan brain, dunno if it is impacting people from elsewhere that much. This surely was not in my 2026 Bingo card!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like, how? It’s perfectly readable (even as an ESL can do it without issues, for one). And honestly it’s a goof bit of flavour. Like using ß for things like aßhole, although San’s choice has the advantage that it is actually part of Ebglish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yeah, they call out for attention towards a problem.
