  Typically?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting files on the LAN to trusted folks at a LAN party -- FTP?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wonder which distros they passing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are there bots that downvote every comment users have?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that would be nice! To see if someone is attacking a community or user

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are there bots that downvote every comment users have?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome! Works perfectly. This will be a useful admin tool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating your own federated microblog | Fedify⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never quite understood the appeal of ActivityPub.

  Looking at the list of goals in the article, the only benefit in addition to what can easily be done with RSS is knowing who follows me. Maybe it’s just me, but if I’m writing to a blog or a microblog I just don’t really care who follows me or even who reads it.

  There are more social features built into ActivityPub, likes and shares for example, but at that point I’m likely not running my own server and am trusting a third party to do it for me. The idea that there are multiple hosts I can choose to trust rather than one centralized one feels more like a principled argument than one based on real benefits of, for example, owning my own content or censorship resistance.

  Does that mean the link has to be from the post instance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are there bots that downvote every comment users have?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe my server was too slow to respond?

  I selected your comment from my instance

  Failed to fetch votes, classic

  Awesome! Thanks for sharing ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s moved to beta since last Fall. Thanks for sharing! Does it only interact with Mastodon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would get an Optiplex and drives. Run fedora server, portainer, and docker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to explain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only run docker containers with their own db. It sounds more logical to run one db, right? My only concern would be if that db corrupts then they all do.

  Why do you like that over postgresql

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean server side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that’s very nice! Do you use that db for other services too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! Do you know if that is true for the two lemmy alternatives?

  People choose to attend universities like VMI for a reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bewCloud is a modern and simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud written in TypeScript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just find it too bulky with too many mediocre features creeping in.

  I’ve also had some dumb issues with it occasionally.

  I liked seafile more but want my files in a readable directory

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bewCloud is a modern and simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud written in TypeScript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s very cool! I personally hate but run nextcloud. Good to have another alternative

  I’m inviting you to the worst party ever tomorrow!

  Huh? You think Tiananmen was about unionizing…?

  Also it’s Tiananmen

  Please tell me what you use to edit and sign PDFs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s def on par with Apple

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Joplin is awesome on iPhone and Linux but I hate that there isn’t any graphs for note links. It’s super easy to setup and sync though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No way to help with zero information. What’s your degree? What country?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ticktick and obsidian. Ticktick is an awesome to do, habit, and calendar app with nothing like it. Obsidian is the best note taking app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely and sadly not better than Obsidian. Also it can’t sync and it stinks for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what resistance to the digital coup looks like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That’s the only video example I could think of too
