I am looking into hosting a #Pixelfed instance. Already got a nice domain for it and have the general idea how to do it. Anything I should know before starting? #selfhosting
@blakeashleyjr Like all my other stuff in my homelab. Hardware wise it shouldn't be a problem, I am rather wondering about the software side. For example a while ago I read Pixelfed works better with MariaDB and not PostgreSQL?
@lifeinstereo lässt sich so pauschal nicht sagen, aber bezüglich Privatsphäre ist XMPP definitiv besser. E2EE ist bei Matrix auch ziemlich aufgeweicht.
Setting up an alternative event calendar in your town might be one of the single easiest things you can do to boost local counterculture and grassroot organization. :anarchism:
I’m not really feeling matrix (running a server seems… complicated) but I’m definitely interested in any and all alternatives to telegram or discord rn, especially if they have sticker support. Lay ‘em on me #telegram#alternatives
Im #XMPP Netzwerk wird schon wieder hart gespammt und langsam hab ich keinen Bock mehr. Auch Jahrzehnte später hat die beteiligte SW (egal, was man nutzt) keine brauchbaren Antispammechanismen.
Als Server admin oder User kann man fast nur zusehen (oder viel Handarbeit einsetzen) 😩
@thomas@daniel Das ist so weit ich weiß ein gewolltes feature von so "MUC mediated invites" das es optional ermöglicht pseudonymen Teilnehmern Einladungen indirekt über den MUC server zu versenden. Eventuell könnte man solche Einladungen generell im Client ignorieren, und man kann glaube ich als Serveradmin diese MUC option generell deaktivieren.
Aber ich finde auch das derzeitige Problem mit den Einladungen vor allem in Conversations nervig ist, da man automatisch und immer wieder zu dem MUCs hinzugefügt wird. In anderen Clients bekommt man nur einen dezenten Hinweis auf die Einladung, welche man auch ablehnen kann.
@liaizon In the standard lemmy-UI you need to find a post of that inactive mod in the same community, which is a bit annoying. With the alternative Photon UI each community has a "team" tab in the community settings where you can add and remove mods.
However note that there is currently a bug in Lemmy that prevents you from doing such actions if your account is not on the same instance as the community you moderate.
As far as I can see, Perma Computing community is too focused on the artistic aspect of computing. Which hardly covers the most energy intensive, ubiquitous parts of the computing world.
Unless the conversation is taken to tackle higher impact fields, the output of the community is more like the conceptual fashion shows:
a vanity demonstration. A limited proof of concept.
I'm considering starting a new project (yes, I know), an #XMPP External Component that is a full MIX implementation -- particularly including MIX-MUC, crucial for backwards compatibility.
At this point I'd only do it with a sponsorship or grant or some such. I don't want to take on the responsibility and sacrifice my free time for it just for it to blow up in my face, I'd much rather have some support structure in place.
@blake You could create a project on OpenCollective under the XSF as a fiscal host: https://opencollective.com/xmpp and see if people are interested in donating for it. But MIX is probably a dead-end with little support and seemingly interest by XMPP clients.
