I don’t like this kind of community/user instance because 2 instances have to deal with the same problem. E.g. a rogue user can troll on most community instances until they are banned by their user instance.
The instance fragmentatios is not as big issue as it’s quite easy to create new accounts. There was a thread about this some days ago here, I also use different accounts on different instances for different topics.
If a moderator is from a different instance, can they effectively moderate? So isn’t it a problem if all moderators would be from different instances?
I remember after the exodus community discovery in Lemmy was hard, and it made sense to create instances like these. But nowadays with Lemmy Explorer and with multiple community promo communities I think it’s not really hard to find the topics you are interested in.
Use WSL on the laptop for ssh, that’s actually a VM. VM separation should work correctly, or we have a much bigger problem. Just reset WSL, everything should be wiped related to the ssh sessions. Work IT would maybe allow that.
One of them is a laptop, why ssh to the server isn’t an option? Set up tmux on the server so it always connects to the same session, so you can just continue where you left last time. If you need desktop support, rdp in gnome works really well.
E.g if you connect with this command, and tmux is installed on the server, it will start a new session named “main”. If a session with that name exists it will connect to that:
ssh -t pi@192.168.1.2 tmux new-session -A -s main
Add something to .bashrc on the server to always do the same if you work on that phisically:
if command -v tmux &> /dev/null && [ -n "$PS1" ] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ screen ]] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ tmux ]] && [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
tmux new-session
fi
But it’s a Friendica post, not from Mastodon. You can’t write such a long posts on mastodon
Since I stopped using mainstream socialmedia I can’t follow musicians I’m interested in. Some have a bandcamp page and rss works there, but they just upload their albums there, nothing else. At least I get notified about new releases. I tried to follow facebook and instagram pages via rss-bridge, but it’s not working for years now. My selfhosted bibliogram sometimes work, but it’s unmaintained so it will die at some point if instagram changes something. (I just found there is a maintained fork, yess) My ip usually gets blocked, so I get all posts once a week only in batch.
So I’m interested, unfortunately none of them enabled fedi integration yet, (afaik it’s a settings for them in threads) so I’m waiting when they will enable it for everyone.
I don’t want to debate about politics or whatever you are afraid of.
There was a vote about it in !meta@lemm.ee : https://lemm.ee/post/851217
I wanted to vote against defederation (edit: i was offline that week or something, I can see I didn’t vote) I liked on this instance that we are treated as adults, and the admin let us decide what we want to see. You can block instances if you want. Defederating with Threads even before we can see how it would work goes against this philosophy.
Afaik there is no way to see anything from threads on lemmy yet, connection with mastodon like services work only, so we are again debating about a not yet existing thing.
If it will work between threads and lemmy I will look for another instance where I can devide what I want to see.
How this photo related to the fediverse? c/lostlemmings?
I’ve seen cheap solar powered garden lights which used AA sized rechargeable batteries literally yesterday. A friend asked me to take a look why they stopped working, and I was astonished that it was a standard size, not the classic box with the thinnest possible red and black cables as usually in cheap plastic stuff like that.
My solar powered keyboard uses ML2032 coin cell rechargeable battery. They are rare, but exists.
Buy a better case for the mobo. I modded once an mITX motherboard to an ancient HP Proliant microserver case, it’s not that hard. Mobos like this doesn’t have standard screw distances, but you don’t have to secure all screws in a ghetto server. 2 screws and some padding is enough, with 3 screws you are overengineering.
It’s a Fujitsu W26361 There isn’t a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.
You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:
You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It’s impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Mini-SATA_(mSATA)_variant
Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.
If it’s an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:
You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:
If it’s not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:
It’s a 4chan thread. It should be an image not a video.
Other free services I had good experiences with:
Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.
I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it’s a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.
For my tasks I use Nextcloud Tasks via caldav. Do you plan to add caldav support? You could solve the problem of missing native apps with this as well, as caldav is supported in a lot of desktop calendar apps (e.g. Thunderbird), and android has the genial opentasks app which uses the same standard.
From what I heard is that the NPM project only has 1 developer and so they can’t really respond and fix security flaws in a proper timeframe.
It’s mostly just nginx with a webui. You can even see the nginx config files if you bash into the container. It has the same bugs as upstream nginx. Do not expose the management port to the internet.
Plus compared to normal nginx, it’s harder to misconfigure it. Most of my services are just the default config, so I can’t mess it up accidentally.
About lockouts: Once also happened me, but that was just a messed up update, next update fixed itself. If you lock yourself out you can usually edit the db directly, it defaults to sqlite, but I used it with mariadb.
Kbin is dead, mbin is the new kbin:
You don’t have to self host it if you scroll down there is a list of public instances: https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/General/Public_Hosts.html
Reason to self host, some websites don’t like rss bridge because it’s a kind of adblock from their point of view, and they actively block the ip addresses of these instances. If you selfhost it, you can use these sites, because a single user instance won’t generate as much traffic than 1000 users, so they won’t notice your instance
The RSS feed for websites missing it
Thats it. First sentence on link. Generates an rss feed from a youtube channel or from a soundcloud user, etc
Now when a user reports a troll, the report goes to the moderators of the community. But in special cases the admins of the user instances should deal with banning. So the admins of the community instances have to deal with reports, but the solution is at the hand of the user instance admins. It’s the same as dealing with users from other instances, but an edge case.
My recommendations would be something like this: (I’m just a random user, so it’s just my point of view)
This would be useful for you and other admins, because you would have to admin much less number of instances. They would be still considered small instances, compared to big one, so you still not at the “too big to fail” level. For users it would help community discovery, there are overlap between followers of similar topics, e.g. I have friends who follow both European football and NBA at the same time, I read both selfhosting related topics and about general tech support, etc…
