I did nothing and I’m all out of ideas!

L'Ucraina avverte che le principali forniture di gas russo all'Europa saranno tagliate. Un blocco potrebbe costringere i paesi dell'Europa centrale ad affrettarsi per sostituire il gas russo. (www.politico.eu)

È improbabile che Kiev rinnovi un accordo sul transito del gas che consenta alla russa Gazprom di esportare gas naturale nell’UE utilizzando gasdotti che attraversano l’Ucraina, ha dichiarato a POLITICO il ministro dell’Energia German Galushchenko....

Mechanize,

Ricordo male o i rigassificatori presenti non eran già al massimo output possibile con il gas già acquistato e prenotato da altre zone?

Mechanize,

I get an eye opening “Error establishing a database connection”.

My life will never be the same! 😭

Mechanize,

Per chi vuole approfondire ulteriormente: Senato.it - Disposizioni per la prevenzione e la repressione della diffusione illecita di contenuti tutelati dal diritto d’autore mediante le reti di comunicazione elettronica

Al momento il testo non è ancora stato pubblicato, ma dovrebbero aggiornare a breve. Credo.

Mechanize,

Mi piacerebbe sapere come e da dove, il buon Mollicone, ha tirato fuori quei numeri.

Ho trovato l’intervista da Radio Radicale, ed a 3:25 parla di un “Convegno che ha dimostrato i danni”.

Girando ho trovato un articolo dell’ANSA da cui cito:

I libri piratati costano al mondo del libro 771 milioni di mancato fatturato pari al 31% del valore complessivo del mercato al netto di editoria scolastica ed export e la perdita di 5.400 posti di lavoro. Contando anche l’indotto, il costo per il Paese è di 1,88 miliardi (con un mancato gettito fiscale di 322 milioni di euro) e 13.100 posti di lavoro. Sono fra i numeri preoccupanti della seconda indagine Ipsos “La pirateria nel mondo del libro. Crescita del fenomeno e strumenti di contrasto” commissionata dall’Associazione Italiana Editori (Aie) presentata a Roma nell’incontro de Gli Editori (Aie e Fieg) moderato dal direttore dell’ANSA, Luigi Contu.

E sotto, nelle slide, c’è:

NOTA: i comportamenti illeciti rilevati riguardano l’acquisto, la ricezione o la stampa di libri fotocopiati(>15%) o compendi, il download o la ricezione di contenuti illeciti in formato digitale, la stampa da formato digitale, la condivisione di abbonamenti o codici di accesso non personali

Ma non vedo assolutamente da dove questi numeri provengano.

Quindi, per far un resoconto di quello che ho capito:

  • I numeri sarebbero riferiti all’editoria.
  • I numero vengono dall’AIE, cioè l’associazione degli Editori.
  • Non ci sono fonti se non delle slide. Senza fonti.

Qualcuno può gentilmente dirmi se ho trascurato qualcosa o se, magari, c’è qualche fonte dei numeri che non ho visto? Oggi sono abbastanza distratto, quindi non mi stupirebbe aver perso qualcosa di palese.

Mechanize,

EDIT: si stava solo sincronizzando, si può vedere il drive su esplora risorse come se fosse una rete normale, figo!

Oh! Questo è interessante. Ormai quasi tutti i vari Drive remoti lo hanno come funzione, ma non mi aspettavo lo mettessero direttamente alla loro prima uscita dopo la beta, specialmente considerando le difficoltà dell’E2EE.

Chissà se con almeno il Drive si degneranno di fare un’applicazione fruibile e con parità di funzionalità anche per Linux: per ora, nella pagina download, vedo solo Windows, iOs, Web, Android e Mac.

Sinceramente il loro attuale schema dei prezzi che, di fatto, t’incanala ad avere tutti i loro servizi, o pagare decisamente di più per prenderne solo una parte è abbastanza fastidioso, specialmente perché esser con un singolo fornitore per tutto non mi piace assolutamente.
Ormai la loro offerta è quasi assurda: email, calendario, alias, drive, password manager, vpn.

Capisco che vogliano esser l’alternativa “focalizzata sulla privacy” a Google, ma non so quanto apprezzabile sia questa loro continua espansione orizzontale.

Anche guardando i prezzi per il Drive si vede che non è il loro focus. Se si prende solo il Drive son 5 euro al mese per 200GB. Vuoi più spazio? Ci sono i 500GB, ma devi per forza prender tutti i loro servizi per 13€ al mese. Vuoi ancora di più? Nessuna paura, per 30 € al mese possono darti il PIANO FAMIGLIA (che di fatto è il vecchio Visionary) per 3TB.

Vabbé. Questo ormai è più uno sfogo libero che un commento.

Mechanize,

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the “web based”. Today I’m incredibly distracted.

Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.

Mechanize,

Check your language settings under your profile. You should try to reset them and see if it fixes it.

Otherwise I’m not sure what could it be.

Mechanize,

Probably I’m misreading it, but isn’t this kind of answer basically saying “google it”?

I don’t want to sound rude, but my english is kind of failing me, I’m just curious, but what’s the point?

One of the reasons of this kind of public forum is to share knowledge and experiences. ChatGPT is a closed, private, garden where the answer will just die.

I could get a “I don’t really know the answer but I used ChatGPT and it gave me this:” followed by a script, or something like that.

I know, this is off-topic and I’m sorry, I’m just really interested in Why, considering it’s said multiple times in this comment section.

Mechanize,

Block the user. It should be just one bot doing it in the lemmit.online instance.

To do so just, from your instance website, click on his name and search for the block function.

EDIT: For future reference you can automagically hide all (properly flagged) bots’ posts toggling the “Show Bots” in your profile, but you will lose the useful ones too and the one not flagged will still appear.

Mechanize,

EDIT: I didn’t see I was in the Memmy community… whoops! Still the advice remains generally valid 😅

It depends on the front end you are using, but generally speaking clicking/tapping on the username should bring you on the profile, where the block option is. It could be hidden behind some submenu/hamburger menu/three dots. But it should be there. Worst case the app you are using has not implemented it yet: try to take a look on the web interface and do it from there.

I blocked the bot days ago and being only it doing the reposting I’m basically not seeing the instance anymore.

The Nuclear option is to go in your profile and disable the bot accounts, but that would make invisible to you all the account marked as bots, which can be overkill.

Mechanize,

If silence is the real culprit you should try out a white noise generator, generally speaking it should overload/excite you less then music or human voices and could help you sleep faster.

Where I live silence during the night is not really an option, and I had had problems only when on vacation “away from civilization”, but small stuff like white noise, a fan or similar low but continuos sounds helped me out without asking for my attention (which happens with movies, music or similar).

There are even apps that simulate different kind of sound and let you mix them (like rain, birds, wind) but I didn’t have enough patience to really dig on this solution.

Mechanize,

Riguardo Lemmy in generale c’è una flag nel profilo da abilitare, per segnalare che si tratta di un account bot.

Per quanto riguarda Feddit, invece, non ne ho proprio idea.

Mechanize,

Com’è andata? Spero alla grande! 🤞

Condivisione di foto in sola visualizzazione (www.jpeds.com)

Buongiorno a tutti, visto che chi bazzica da queste parti mi sembra preparato su questi argomenti vorrei chiedere un consiglio su come muovermi rispetto alla condivisione delle foto di bambini verso terzi, sperando tra l’altro che la cosa sia utile anche ad altri. Il problema è abbastanza noto, riporto un link solo per...

Mechanize,

Personalmente uso filen.io per condividere file e foto, senza pubblicarle direttamente in rete su qualche hosting pubblicamente accessibile. E, dopo che la foto è stata vista, annullo la condivisione o la cancello direttamente.

Però devi partire dal presupposto che se qualcuno vuole ottenere la foto, anche se disabiliti il tasto Download o hai un’uber app che blocca gli screenshot… quella foto diventa pubblica.

Quindi pensa sempre che quando metti una foto in rete c’è sempre e comunque la possibilità che venga “leakata”.

In poche parole ti consiglio di seguire le basilari linee guida di internet: cerca di render difficile il download per i poco pratici (come stai già facendo) e non metter mai qualcosa che non vorresti che uno sconosciuto possa vedere in rete.

Mechanize,

As a general tip you can check the federated and blocked instances for each server. From the webpage it is on the bottom, the “Instances” link.

For lemdro you can find it here: lemdro.id/instances

Looking at the list it seems they haven’t defederated lemmy.world . It’s probably some different kind of problem, sorry I can’t be of more help.

Mechanize,

Hi! The first time you search a community it will not appear, because it needs to get federated by your home instance, you have to search for it a second time. It’s a bit clunky but you get used to it and hopefully it will get better.

About how the federation works I’ll copy here a post I made for another user yesterday, with the basic concepts.

I’m not directly linking to it because that, too, currently is a bit janky.

If, after it, you have any other questions I’ll try to help you out, but here’s pretty late so I hope someone else will give you answers before I come back tomorrow in the morning!

I’ll try to simplify some concepts about the Fediverse and Lemmy using some more common IT knowledge.

I assume you are familiar with emails: gmail, protonmail, hotmail, aol, each of them runs a Server which will give you access, when registered, to a mailbox which will have a name of your choice, followed by an AT(@), and then a Domain specific to the vendor you have chosen.

ID

Lemmy works in a similar way: When you choose an instance (for example lemmy.world, or lemmy.ml, or feddit.de, you can find a list here: lemmyverse.net ) you are choosing where your account will live. You’ll get a full ID composed by your name of choice followed by an @ and then the domain of your chosen instance.

In your case your full ID is username@lemmy.world . This is unique to you in the whole Fediverse.

Communities

Contrary to emails we have another abstraction: Communities. They are collections of posts and comments, moderated by someone and about a specific subject. These communities will reside on a specific server, like your account, and you can, for example, go to !technology or !mildlyinfuriating . As you can see their format is similar to that of your account: they have both a community name, the name before the @, and a domain that specifies where the main copy of it physically resides.

You can find a full, searchable, list of communities here: lemmyverse.net/communitiesFor some more complex reasons just disregards any of them that reside on beehaw.org (they have defederated with lemmy.world, but you don’t need to understand this concept yet).

Feeds

When you start to look around the lemmy.world site, and you are logged in with your lemmy.world account, you’ll have the ability to follow three different types of feed: Subscribed, Local, All.

Local: This feed shows only communities which main copy actually resides on the instance that you are currently on.
All: All the posts from all the communities of all the instances will appear here.
Subscribed: All the posts from the communities that you have subscribed to will show here.

Federation

Until now the concepts were pretty straightforward and not so dissimilar from other services, but now starts the more complex subject: Federation.

For all this different instances (computers running the Lemmy server) to have the information it needs to spread and they need to duplicate it.

This will allow you to see the same exact content whichever instance your account is on: this means that if you have chosen to create an account on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml it, generally speaking, doesn’t matter. You will see and interact with the same content and people.

Your instance is just the gate towards the content, which you have to always pass through (so no, you shouldn’t make an account in each instance, you just need one, and you should choose an instance which rules and values are acceptable for you and, better yet, similar to yours).

Going back to the previous comparison with email services you can think of this as: Each time you take an action (writing a post, a comment, sending an upvote) you are really just sending an email to all the instances, so they get notified and update their copy of the content.

An email saying something along the lines of “username@lemmy.world has just downvoted the post number 69420 in the community 42 of the instance 123” will propagate until every single server has received it.

Defederation

Defederation is the strength and the weakness of the whole fediverse: it helps to moderate the content but it also breaks the web connecting all the servers.

Each instance automatically connects itself with all the others present in the net, but an Admin can actively decide that some other instance - maybe because it is full of Bots, or Scammers, or contains communities clearly voted to illegal or immoral things, or just they don’t like it; the reasons are subjective - really rustled their jimmies and they don’t want to see it anymore. In that case the Admin could decide to Defederate from them: this means that each time a new email from that instance comes it just get dropped and ignored.

So, if Instance A defederates from instance B, each time B sends an update to the content produced by the communities or people from B it will just be ignored by A. All the users registered on A will just not see anything or anyone from B.

Basically an instance wide shadow-ban.

Conclusion

This was just a quick and rough explanation of the concepts, but I hope it was useful: if you have any question I’ll try to answer them at the best of my abilities. But keep in mind that they are not really high. And I’m kinda tipsy.

The main takeaways are these:

  • You only need an account in a single instance.
  • You can subscribe to any community that you want, wherever they are.
  • You can search instances and communities here: lemmyverse.net
  • You should choose an instance that has similar values as you.
  • Sometimes the federation (the mails sent around between the servers) can get slow, but all content will be eventually consistent. Kinda.
  • Communities are sprouting around at high speed, there are a lot of duplicates and everything is in flux, try to be patience.
  • Just try to have fun and be happy.
Mechanize,

Personally I’d wait september.

The game is already good and fun, but the first playthrough is always special, and if all the changes that are expected will come and be positive I feel they’ll have a major impact on it.

If you can, IMHO, just wait it out.

Mechanize,

The pending thing is just a weird bug. For all intents and purposes you are subscribed and you will able to see it in your Subscriptions feed.

EDIT: Typos.

Mechanize,

I’ve posted a top level comment with all the concepts I think could be useful to better understand the whole Fediverse and Lemmy thing: if ,after that, you have any more questions you can reply to it and I’ll try to help you out.

I’d link it directly but currently comments links can get messy.

Idea: Fediverse community/"subreddit" explorer

A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...

Mechanize,

I’m not sure, but I think lemmyverse.net is basically what you are talking about.

It lists both communities and instances.

Mechanize,

Thank you for pointing this out. I was too flabbergasted by the sheer insanity of the messages to even consider checking the date.

Probably a repost of some kind. Still. I hope the target of this meltdown could go through this whole thing without problems and be safe.

Mechanize,

I raffrescatori evaporativi? Sinceramente la mia sola esperienza è tramite quelli in Rimworld… 😄

Ho provato a cercare qualcosa a riguardo ma oltre a blob di marketing non ho trovato assolutamente nulla!

Ma leggendo su wikipedia la parte relativa alle prestazioni… non sembrano gran che per il nostro clima, tendenzialmente umido.

Però potrei sbagliarmi!

Mechanize,

I know this is a 3 weeks old post, but this is amazing.
