Because they made this thing and Fediverse is per se open. If you question whether they belong, I wonder why you are posting on .ml?

You didn't post which community you posted that into so it's a but hard to evaluate how legitimate the removal is.

I don't think so, but you can enable "mute boosts" on accounts that boost a lot to clean up your timeline a bit.

Don't worry, I didn't :)

Mastodon where you can't use the letter "e": https://www.vice.com/en/article/its-like-tweeting-but-you-cant-use-the-letter-e/ ( oulipo.social )

Oh wow, I didn't notice the date! Apparently the edit put it up in my feed - probably because this instance wasn't there when the post was created.

It's there, some apps and show the link very prominent if there's some text as well. Do you see the preview?

Yes, but that's a supported way to install Proxmox.

You have some options that aren't in the installer e.g. full disk encryption

Your CPU should be perfectly capable of that. I ran Proxmox with some VMs and containers on an i5-2400 with 16GB RAM just fine.

You could run on bare Debian as well but virtualization will give you more flexibility. If you get a Zigbee Dongle or the like, you can pass it through to the VM Home Assistant is running in.

I don't know MergeFS but usually the recommendation is ZFS.

Cool thread idea! TOR has already been mentioned, a relay seems to be save to run in most of the world.

This thread recently popped up and had some other nice ideas: https://lemmy.ca/post/40649656

I think I've read about something like that a few years ago but I don't remember exactly. Was originally made for traffic accidents where you want to collect evidence against the other driver threatening you or similar, but should be exactly that.

Regardless of how you host Nextcloud, what you described is one thing I really like about Nextcloud: the major part of it being synced to several devices. As long as you have a computer with the desktop client that's on every once in a while, your stuff is saved across different devices.

I've had a similar thing happen once btw, deleted the wrong server. It was "just" monitoring data, but I had spent a lot of effort building it properly. I eventually started over it, but knowing the whole thing is gone feels really bad.

Does it? I think it logs you out and after logging in again, you need to provide your encryption key/verify with other device again in order to access the history. Or wdym with breaking?

Ah! I don't know what exactly these mean, would be interesting to see what Element says what those mean. I don't think Element actually adds these to your messages etc but I don't know the protocol enough.

Does IRC have performant voicechat?

I think they have different use cases. OL may have a more consistent library, but Bookwyrm has the (social) features im looking for in a book app.

Personally I add books to OL and then import to BW.

Exactly - but since they seem to open the beta to their customers already I'd assume there won't be that many breaking changes, but I wouldn't rely on it already. Considering using it on a testdomain

Does it? On Android, it never asked me to grant location permission unless I try to share my location to another user. Similar with contacts and calendar, it's working perfectly fine without them. Where exactly does it link those identifiers and with what?

It is, but it's not recommended for productive use yet. Quote from their newsletter March 2nd:

What about self-hosting?

Several people have asked about using ActivityPub if you're hosting Ghost elsewhere. Some quick notes about that:

Importantly, Ghost's ActivityPub service is already out in the wild, open source, and released under the MIT license. We build in public, and all our work is up on GitHub for anyone to download, fork, run or deploy if they want to.

What's missing right now, mainly, is documentation. You could already self-host ActivityPub if you really wanted to, but there's a lot you'd need to figure out to get it running properly.

So the question is less "when will it be possible" and more "when will it be easy"?

At the moment we're moving quickly and making many breaking changes each week which aren't backwards compatible (like switching to a new DB) – so the app isn't stable. Even if we did document everything, if you self-hosted then it would just break constantly — so it doesn't make much sense for us to try to document and promote self-hosting, because it won't be a good experience for anyone.

Right now we're prioritising developing the app and building features, deployed in a single location, so we can make progress. Once the app is stable, then we'll start documenting (and optimizing) the process of deploying it and hosting it elsewhere.

We're hoping to get to that work some time this summer, and we'll share details of that here, as we go. Our first priority is just getting ActivityPub working and stable with a base feature set.

Search currently includes OpenLibrary and Inventaire, plus some more I think but I'm not sure right now.

That doesn't mean a Browser plug-in couldn't be useful ofc, but Bookwyrm is not limited to what it's users manually add - even though, through federation, that's quite a lot already.
