Hey #FOSS people, I am looking for a #selfhosted solution that will analyse the photos from my smartphone, guess what's on them and allow searching by thing or place. You know, something that iPhotos does on an iPhone. Any suggestions?
What obligation do #platformcoops have to operate at the same scale as or even outperform their venture capital funded corporate counterparts? If a #platformcoop does not succeed in having a similar reach as major corporations with comparable features, should it be considered "low quality" or are there other standards of success worth considering?
How exactly do you define decentralised solutions though?
Aren't coops like #JamCoop and @mirlo, or #SelfHosted sites just that? (Admittedly without federation)
#DIY, #artisanal, #coop and #OpenSource solutions usually won't be able to compete with big businesses when it comes to price and/or convenience, just like your community supported farm can't compete with Aldi.
It's really down to you as consumer to decide what is more important to you, convenience or doing what's right.
Dropped some updates to selfh.st/apps this morning - tiles now have visible/clickable tags, URL properties have been added for sharing custom views with others, and I've added a ton of new project icons.
I'm completely open to feedback on future improvements, but probably won't consider adding any more details to the tiles to prevent them from becoming too cluttered.
Manyfold v0.67.0 is out, and introduces optional anonymous usage tracking so that we know many instances there are. This will be really useful to us, so please turn it on if you can! We're excited to see how many of you are out there! ❤️
We've made the system as private and transparent as we possibly can, including a custom super-forgetful data API. There's a breakdown of how it all works at https://manyfold.app/sysadmin/tracking.html.
The next release of Manyfold will include OPTIONAL anonymous usage tracking, purely so that we can count how many people are running it.
This is OFF BY DEFAULT, and all the information that's sent and stored is shown in the UI before you turn it on. We've tried to be as minimal, clear and up-front as possible.
@beardedtechguy and myself are looking for someone that is willing, able and has time to help us with infrastructure related things.
We are looking to fully self host our instance so that we have full control over everything related to the instance. This means we need/want someone that has experience running a self hosted instance and has the time to help Kyle with things when he's not around to do various things. (cont...)
Between setting up DigitalOcean Spaces [1] for uploaded media and enabling @michael's FediFetcher [2], my experience on a one-person self-hosted Mastodon instance has been greatly improved.
About ready to start working on my first homelab machine for self-hosting things instead of just glomming all my services on to the NAS. How feasible is it to start out on a Raspberry Pi while I get the hang of things? #selfhosting#selfhosted#homelab#raspberrypi
Manyfold v0.66.0 has been released! This release focuses on accessibility again, particularly around keyboard control of the 3d models. But, in order to make that happen, we had to do a big rewrite of the renderer that should make it much faster and smoother! We hope you like it 😄
Project activity, software launches, updates, a spotlight on #sup3rS3cretMes5age - a one-time, self-destructing messaging service, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
I've now collected 4 of the 5 stones needed to complete the #smarthome protocol infinity gauntlet after deploying an #ESPHome device (#ratgdo) for the first time last night.
Once completed, I'll be able to decrease my home's electricity usage by 50% at the snap of my fingers.
Just dropped a new episode of The Self-Host Cast featuring a casual conversation with Ivan, the developer of the #vehicle maintenance tracking application #LubeLogger.
Would love some feedback on ways to improve or suggestions for future episode topics!
i really like #flatnotes, but it's a little bit too minimalistic ... thinking about switching to another #note taking solution ... but there are so many options. #obsidian , #logseq , #joplin ?
main requirements are that its needs to be quick and easy to use; syncing the notes between desktop and android phone (not through external cloud, needs to be #selfhosted) ... preferrably 100% #foss - so i guess obsidian is already out?
Weeknote W18 is out, with an insight into all the #Accessibility work that went into Manyfold last week, and what's still to come. Carousels, skip links, language markers, and a massive rewrite of the 3d renderer, all included.
Manyfold v0.65.0 has been released! This release is all about #Accessibility, after our audit last week. There's a big pile of improvements around screen reading, keyboard navigation, colour, labelling, and so on, which will benefit everyone! More to come, too!
It's been great to be able to get some expert advice and then put time into this, thanks to NLNet and @NGIZero. It's a rare opportunity in open source!
As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist (but bonus points for supporting Bandcampers today, as it's the last one for a while).
Simply make a direct comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!
