It’s not a big deal, but a single user instance has some issues with discoverability as it will only show communities you personally have subscribed to.

A fediverse instance obviously.

You can use the same containers with Podman, but docker-compose is not recommended with Podman and you rather use Quadlets which integrate nicely with Systemd.

Because it is missing an “and”?

I think Vernissage even added a migration option from Pixelfed lately.

I am also interested in some feedback on hosting it. I tried hosting Pixelfed a while ago, and while I got it to run, it was honestly quite annoying with lots of papercuts, so I retired it again shortly after.

But that has nothing to do with the size of an instance of community. Rather the opposite is the case: an instance admin might decide to silence an community or instance because it is too big/busy and drowns out all the posts from smaller instances.

Or a very practical example: those Reddit and RSS repost instances. We had to defederate them because they were drowning out all organic posts and discussions. I would have rather liked to silence them though as people might want to stay subscribed to them without bothering other people on the same instance by having them pollute the federated feed.

On Mastodon it is also commonly used to temporarily silence an instance that is being abused for spam. This is much better than to defederate, as it still allows people to continue communicating with legitimate users on that instance.

which cannibalizes smaller instances as their posters are incentivized to post in the communities of the bigger instance and not their home instance since less people will see it.

Why would that be the case? Either you or me totally misunderstand that feature 😅

Great, thanks for this info.

Typically you would make an app with qt and the qtquick and/or Kirigami extensions, or a GTK app with libawaita extensions.

It is also important to note that the newest Qualcomm devices, starting around 2022 or 2023 (specifically using SM8350 or newer) use completely different audio logic, based on AudioReach and cannot use the q6voice patches.

Ugh. Anyone happens to know if this affects the Fairphone5 already?

Might be for compatibility reasons with the wider Fediverse?

Lemmy made an early decision to reuse “likes”/“stars” from Mastodon as upvotes and this comes with certain down-sides as they are really not the same.

The noqanon list and the OP warning sign are two different things.

The first is a default url blocklist that gets pulled on first start of a Piefed instance and which contains extreme right-wing and mis-information outlets.

The domain warning sign mentioned in OP is a separate list only manually added to the piefed.social flagship instance.

Lenovo Daydream VR camera. Worked ok at first, but was soon after abandoned by Google and Android dropped support for it as well. These days an expensive brick. Oh and the battery became a spicy pillow as well 🤦

Almost that exact idea was implemented in Piefed and later removed (after substantial discussion) because it was a bad idea.

I was referring to a different but similar case where someone intentionally spread mis-information about supposedly hardcoded things that turned out to be a complete nothingburger as all of it was behind an admin toggle. The same seems to be now true for this old issue you specifically pointed out here.

It is true that there is some experimental stuff in Piefed, which is part of the relatively rapid iteration of features, but looking at the code and also the explanations given by the Piefed development team I can really not see any malice in those settings. It is perfectly normal that things get overlooked or implemented partially and when someone reports a bug (like a missing admin configuration setting) it usually gets fixed quite quickly, and at least in my experience without much discussions.

You are jumping to conclusions. I think it is generally worthwhile to discuss the use of LLMs for making moderation decisions and also using them to produce ideological profiles of users.

A while back, someone realized that piefed was hard coded to give negative reputation to certain people, regardless of what settings the admins had made.

Please don’t spread old mis-info or at least back this up with actual links to the source-code (and if we are talking about the same thing, this was clearly debunked).

As for the OP post, this is factually correct and I have seen the evidence. Although maybe Rimu should have been more clear in pointing out that this seems to be not an official instance tool, but rather something some moderators have cobbled together themselves.

Previously had some good experience with this store selling refurbished hardware: https://www.computerstoreberlin.de/

Old DDR3 ECC is actually cheaper than regular DDR3 RAM, and it generally works with AMD CPUs (who unlike Intel don’t artificially restrict ECC support to their enterprise offerings).

But tbh, ECC is generally not needed and I wouldn’t bother designing a system around it. Use a file system with checksums and regularly scrub the drives and you should not have any major issues with random bit flips that ECC protects against.

That’s a nice list, but it doesn’t help with choice paralysis in that regard 😅
