⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

The problem is threatening the whole Fediverse
(…)
This is a grave abuse of the protocol: messages are silently dropped. It stands against everything the Fediverse is trying to do: allow users to communicate. My experience with open protocols allows me to say that it is a critical problem and that it cannot be tolerated. Would you settle for a mail provider which silently drop all emails you receive if they contain the letter “P”?

Oh, the drama. I think this is a wrong take. The point of ActivityPub is not that we all see everything. Is so the servers can exchange activities. But whether it makes sense to put it in our inboxes or not, depends on what particular application is supposed to do. If using AP would require the application to show everything, what would be the differences between the apps?

I use Threadiverse because I prefer a bit more structured content than what’s happening on Mastodon. While I would love to be able to follow the few accounts and tags on Mastodon that interest me, the fact that I don’t see all that traffic is not an abuse of the protocol

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, since

Pixelfed is designed to mimic Instagram

Then what Pixelfed does is also correct, Instagram also does not show the whole wall from Facebook. Only the pictures, right?

I haven’t done that myself but from https://pimylifeup.com/pangolin-linux/ I understand that will only be subdomain to access pangolin dashboard

how do I keep the vps.domain.tld while also allowing for pangolin.domain.tld to be valid at the same IP?

Domains are just translation from name to IP. What gets served on which subdomain is then handled by nginx or traefik. AFAIK you can have all 3 (VPS, pangolin and root) to point at the same IP

To me the idea of temporality of communities and no instances is interesting. It’s definitely something new

Crazy stuff!

But how is it moved? It copies the activities? Or really transfers them somehow?

That alone does not make one a patriot
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t think so. When talking about scale, I think it’s more realistic to think that most of people won’t understand nor care enough to understand what instances are. Even after they become regular users

I don’t have capacity to go all the way but it seems you’ve got a problem with creating the volume

This looks similar and was configuration error: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73279935/error-while-mounting-volume-mount-through-procfd-not-a-directory-unknown

Browser with keyboard first philosophy? Could it be? I have to check it out. Do you have some resource on how to operate it without mouse?

Ah, sorry. I remembered you having a bunch of Stable Diffusion communities, so I thought maybe such thing might fit your vibe
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for bot-friendly Lemmy instances/communities for RSS reposting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I think that the guys at lemmy.dbzer0.com might not be against it

Although, I think one community containing all the feeds you are interested of might be a little bit too personal for a general population instance. It might be better to set up your own instance, with just one community and join it from the account you use

There is also ibbit.at !meta@ibbit.at but with that one, I guess you will have to ask for separate communities per feed and the admin does care about the type of content it would be pulling

By whom or what?

Maybe some from !fuck_ai@lemmy.world would be interested but I guess it should be another community, just for that

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PHP is the English of programming languages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

After decades I am still uncertain of some grammatical rules and word choices. I still struggle with spelling often, and once in a while I find a word that I have been pronouncing wrong my whole life.

Get more contact with native speakers. No shade but half of them don’t even know the rules

I know how you feel, I also feel that. I am not always sure how to navigate cultural connotations of words, sometimes a native surprises me by using a phrase, that I have known before, in a way that I knew is the proper use but would have never come up with that myself. Yet, since I started spending more personal time with native speakers, I would often be asked to take a look at a draft of their message. Or they ask me how would I word something. Because “you are better with words” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The difference is, you and I pay attention to what/how we say it. Native speakers often just say it as it comes

Granted, as we already established, I am not a native speaker but by looking at your posts I would not say you are struggling with English
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
With AP does the exchange have to be http requests? If every instance had a stream instead, would that break the protocol?

With decentralized AT, who would be maintaining the stream? On the image I don’t see a connection between the alternative firehose and right-side pds’
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

From the looks of AT, its farily linear because its really just operating on a set of giant event streams (like kafka).

Wouldn’t that mean that this stream will have to scale horizontally?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, but those could be just “read instances” spinned up by a peak in requests at load balancer. Not running all the time
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It gets DDOSed because after the boost, all the subscribers’ instances are calling it to retrieve the content?

Do you think a load balancer might help?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
But is that a limitation of AP?

As far as I understand one could split a fediverse instance into three parts: data, backend and UI.
The data is not shared 1to1 - each instance gets a copy of the activity and from that creates it’s own copy. Hence the same post on different instances will have different id
The problem we are speaking about is the capability of the backend to process incoming copies. Meaning, I also understand that the part that serves the local data to UI should not be the problem

What if there was a queue at the front and from the backend a scalable ingestion worker would be split off? Those would only do the putting the actions onto the data. Probably with per community(?) FIFO topics/partitions, so we can process data in parallel and not worry about an updoot for a post that does not exist yet

Those would still be fairly easy to deploy and be vertically scalable, right?
Or is there some bottleneck in the protocol itself?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

ActivityPub works fine now because the community is fairly small, but it will reach its limits as it is currently designed. Its basically an event driven model vs a push and pull model. Sure a docker image can more or less jusy be deployed, but that simplicity is a ticking time bomb.

You mean that when there’s more traffic, the instances will start to DDOS each other?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being a noob in heist games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Thanks for the suggestion

I know that one too. I don’t remember how far I got but somehow at some point I lost interest. I felt that either I ace if the guard will go left or right, or I’ll end up with alarm and swarming enemies without much to mitigate the situation
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being a noob in heist games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think I remember some early tech demo videos from that one. Is it able to provide a challenge when everything can be torn down?

Hm. Interesting insight, there might be something to it

I played it and it was cool. Gunpoint from the same developer was also a blast
