- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 2 weeks ago:
Until they notice that cleaning up after failed AI-written code is more expensive than writing working code from the start. Which is already happening for some companies.
- Comment on Pull request to begin to add ActivityPub support to the bluesly PDS 2 weeks ago:
And I think letting everyone decide for themselves how they run their instances and who they federate with is an important cornerstone of the fediverse. I’m more than fine with people not wanting to interact with threads. But what happens on my tiny instance with me as the only active user shouldn’t be cause for outrage.
- Comment on Pull request to begin to add ActivityPub support to the bluesly PDS 2 weeks ago:
I’ve once been downvoted to oblivion for not defederating threads.net before it even went online. Fediverse people are weird.

I‘ll give my best to give you some feedback if you post something

Dooo iiiiiit! I really enjoy reading about niche homebrew settings.
- Comment on DM Workshop - A community for discussing your TTRPG worlds and campaigns 3 weeks ago:
I even made a new account specifically so I could make it there and not on my personal instance.

Just a regular Mastodon server with federation disabled might be a good start.
- Comment on Fediverse Social Media Guide 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think so. French “tiens” is a form of the verb “tenir” (“hold”). German “tja” is pronounced almost exactly the same and is only used as an interjection with a similar meaning but doesn’t have any related forms that I could think of.
Especially the southern German dialects have quite a few words that originated as loan words from French so it’s at least plausible. Could of course just be a coincidence as well.
- Comment on Fediverse Social Media Guide 4 weeks ago:
And this is the moment I realized that German “tja” (“well”) probably comes from French “tiens” even though I’ve had five years of French in school.
- Comment on 3D printers leave hidden ‘fingerprints’ that reveal part origins 4 weeks ago:
From what I can tell from the article, that’s exactly the point. This is not about manufacturer-sanctioned intentional fingerprinting but about every printer making slightly different mistakes by accident that just happen to be consistent enough to be recognizable.
- Comment on How can I federate my ghost blog? 1 month ago:
I really hope they’ll streamline that a bit more or at least create some documentation that’s more than a hand full of bullet points.
- Comment on how could this idea work withthe fediverse 2 months ago:
Please rewrite this or at least add a tl;dr and change the thread title. I’m sure you have a great idea somewhere in there but I’ve had to stop reading after a couple of paragraphs that just sounded preachy and got nowhere.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3) 2 months ago:
Then please update your category name to reflect that. Right now it says “Self-Hosting” which to the majority of readers means hosting it yourself.
As far as I know most Lemmy instances leverages paid-for or freemium services to have their instances work easily/properly
Yes but you can’t compare a whole lemmy instance to an account on an email server that you share with others. The fair comparison would be hosting a lemmy instance to hosting your own email server and creating an account on Proton Mail to creating an account (or a community) on lemmy.world.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3) 2 months ago:
Here I’m a bit in two minds, sure it’s difficult to SELF host email, but in practice it isn’t because there are hundreds (Thousands?) of hosting options to choose from where you can choose your own domain etc. for the low price of basically-free
I would prefer to limit this to actually hosting it on a machine you control. We don’t consider redirecting a custom domain to a subreddit “self-hosting”, do we? Yes, there are many email providers out there but that’s more like existing lemmy or mastodon instances and not like hosting your own where you have full control over your data.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3) 2 months ago:
Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?
They aren’t. That’s the repo that has the latest version of the survey. The actual references are one section up.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3) 2 months ago:
Having set up a couple of mail servers myself, I wouldn’t call it easy. Most solutions boil down to a tangled web of dovecot, postfix, ldap and amavis. There are preconfigured docker containers which make setup easier than a couple of years ago but if your use case is even just slightly different than the maintainers’, you’ll have to dive deep into a few dozen different config files. And of course, you’ll have to find out how to configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC to have even a remote chance of your mails getting through to the big providers. I’d probably give email somewhere in the range of 8-12 points in that category.
Other than that, great summary!

Oh, thanks for the heads up, I didn’t notice.
- Comment on Federated Blogging Options 2 months ago:
After playing around for a bit, this really looks like the best option. I will wait until federation support gets added to the self-hosted version though.
- Comment on Elianscript! A fun artistic way to softly encrypt your handwriting. 2 months ago:
Sorry to be the buzzkill here but this is not encryption but obfuscation and can easily be broken by comparing letter frequencies, so don’t use this for anything more sensitive than your shopping list. This is not suitable for writing your next serial killer letters or a mysterious book about medicine that will stump scientists for centuries.
Still a really neat as a non-encrypted writing system though. I could see this in some sci-fi or fantasy media.
- Comment on Federated wiki software? 2 months ago:
That doesn’t sound like a federated wiki but more like federated account management.

Doesn’t seem to be in the latest open source release or at least I can’t find how to enable it.
