Ich hoste mit meine eigenen Dienste. Darunter z.b. und . Nun wollte ich gerne mal nachfragen, wie sicher das ganze ist, wenn ich z.b. Die Suchmaschine und auch XMPP öffentlich ins Netz stellen würde; was muss beachtet werden? Oder sollte ich davon ganz absehen?

@gnox Searxng hat eine Funktion die Verbindung zu Google search nur mit einem geheimen Code zu erlauben. Wenn man das einfach nur so ins Netz stellt und es von anderen viel genutzt wird, drosselt oder blockiert Google die IP recht schnell. Mit invidious und Youtube könnte das ähnlich sein.

Ansonsten wie schon erwähnt, keine offene Anmeldung erlauben sonst wird man schnell zur Spamschleuder oder schlimmer.

@gnox Immer schön alles aktuell halten und SSH am besten nur intern zugänglich machen. Ansonsten... lässt sich natürlich nix völlig ausschließen aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit das wer aktiv versucht in deinen Server einzudringen ist recht gering.

Just out of curiosity: Would it technically possible to use with a chip card? So that it cannot only be used for online transactions, but also to pay a ?

I ask, because I was very disappointed by restaurant in the other day. was OK, but they do not accept . In fact, the waiter took my money and they paid my bill using their card. Maybe Taler could be used for that use case in the future?

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@debacle Hmm, maybe? I think the payment backend needs to be online, but some pre-generated Taler tokens could very well be downloaded to a chip-card if there is sufficient storage on it? But I am not deeply into the technical side of it.

I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@dansup Having it in the client regardless of the server would in practise mean built-in telemetry, no? I don't think that would go down well with the typically privacy conscious Fediverse crowd.

Also, while I agree that having a way to support the creators of the software would be nice, I think any such system should somehow also allow supporting the instance administrators, as running the services isn't cheap either.

Hey, I'm currently doing a little research on the cost of modern social media and messaging, given that cost is an everlasting discussion when trying to move people to more free alternatives.

I am still looking for data for messaging, such as and . So if you have or know someone who operates a somewhat sizable instance for either XMPP or Matrix and would potentially share some details about operational cost with me I would love to hear about it! :)

Thank you so much! 💙

:BoostOK:

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@cherti You read a lot about high memory usage of Synapse due to it being written in Python etc., but the real crux in running a public Matrix server is fast database storage and overall storage. Due to its replicating nature Matrix is very database i/o heavy, meaning you need fast SSD storage and a lot of it. Database sizes of 300GB are rather common, which puts running a Matrix server way out of the league of most cheap VPS offers. In addition Synapse caches all the media uploads, which is a nice feature but also requires a lot of storage.

XMPP on the other hand might be somewhat less feature-full but the cost of running a server is basically a rounding error even for bigger deployments.

@muppeth might have some additional input as Disroot decided to shut down their rather large Synapse server a while ago and replaced it with XMPP.

Thank you all for welcoming me to the Fediverse!
I came from reddit, where I have been a mod of the r/HopePunk sub for quite some time.

Did Pleroma start in the USA or Germany? It's referenced that Lain is German but were they living there when it was started?

@liaizon Why do you think this is important information for a list of logos?

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@liaizon maybe with the exception of company developed software like Mastodon gGmbH, highlighting the nationality of just one of many open-source developers seems like a bad idea.

I think it might be interesting to have a column if the software is developed by a company, a non-profit, an informal community or a lone developer though.

Gonna use social media for its intended purpose: to complain about minute bullshit.

Today is blah and I am exhausted from yesterday and I can't get a job to save my life and it's getting to be hard on my mental health.

Admitting to that last one makes me feel all vulnerable, and hyper-aware that I'm letting capitalism dictate my self-worth and I talk a big talk about not letting that happen but my lizard brain has been very well programmed. Blush.

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@arielkroon Yeah, having been under-employed ever since the pandemic started (partially by choice), I can very much relate to the last point. Hard to shake off despite knowing better of course. Doing some unpaid volunteer work (even online) helps me starve off the lizard brain a bit, but I don't don't really have an answer to this either. Hugs :neocat_hug_bun_sad:

@thomas @ente waiting for their photo app to allow changing the backend address. They recently promised that it will happen eventually, but right now this severely limits the self-hosting story of it.

🆕 blog! “Can you trust ProtonApps.com?”

I've recently signed up to the privacy-preserving service Proton. All the email, calendar, drive, VPN, and other services seem to hang off the proton.me domain. I wanted to download the Android apps to my phone - without using the Google Play Store. The VPN app is on F-Droid but none of the others are. So, […]

@Edent @PC_Fluesterer F-droid has their own build infrastructure and (with very few exceptions) only allows apps in their repo that can be build cleanly from FOSS code. IzzyOnDroid is a 3rd party repository for the F-droid app that allows developers to directly upload binary .apks for distribution. The security implications should be obvious...

What would be the essential features that you would expect in a ? I mean features that you actually use at work or in association, or you would very much like to see.

@J12t By being less naive about who and who isn't an abuser. Activist spaces have a long history of highly abusive members (of any gender) that look the look and walk the talk at least on initial appearances, but are in reality narcisstic abusers that make everything about them and their profile in the community. This has all the hallmarks of that.

aks, to Matrix
@aks@scalie.zone avatar

I'll repeat my old take on , and chat protocols.

These protocols are open, thus there is no reason to not make them interoperable.

In the end users dont care about protocol, they care about client. And users can choose any client they wish.

If all three can be seamlessly talk to each other, we'll have beautiful solution.

Even better if it can be done without bridges (or the bridges are built in to clients/protocols)

Instead of fighting over "the one true protocol" we should make them as seamlessly interoperable as possible!

We have zero excuse. These three (and probably more!) are all open.

I would love to help as well.

kris,
@kris@outmo.de avatar

@aks yes this is how and -irc work, all users are "real" users on all three protocols.

Syncthing and other similar software are great, but sometimes you just want a simple, lightweight, and fast way to mirror things, specially if the remote and/or local machines have limited resources.

Here is my ultra minimalistic set and forget (I hope) 2-in-1 rsync based mirror script that can be used in a cron and called manually at the same time. If there is a problem with the transfer, you even get an email.
