This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

meldrik,

You can disable P2P.

You will only see content from other instances, if your instance federates with them.

However, some instances allow “global search”, which means you can practically find everything through search, from all the other instances.

It’s also possible to subscribe to channels from other instances, even though your instance does not federate with said instance.

If you go to the About > Network page, you can see which instances is federated with yours.

meldrik,

This is how the settings look like for a PeerTube admin, regarding global search and subscribing to remote channels:

Look for this, under the about page of the instance.

meldrik,

Der findes skam en skræddersyet løsning, lavet af dem, som også har lavet PeerTube: mobilizon.org/en/

meldrik,

Begge bruger Activitypub, så det er muligt. docs.joinmobilizon.org/use/…/federation/

meldrik,

Just learned about Revolt.chat. It looks to have great potential. It’s basically a Discord clone.

meldrik,

It doesn’t work if you use iCloud or a custom domain with iCloud.

I ended up using Protonmail.

meldrik,

Can’t find the answer via a search engine though. You first have to find out where to look for the answer, before you can ask it.

meldrik,

Matrix is great at what it does, but it’s not a replacement for Discord imho.

meldrik,

Couldn’t agree more. Revolt is still in it’s infancy, but it has great potential.

meldrik,

Har købt en ny CPU til min server, som blandt andet kører lemmy.wtf.

Planen er at installere den i weekenden. Ønsk mig held og lykke! 🫡

meldrik,

Har næsten lige fået den skiftet og det gik fint. Gik fra en AMD 3000G til en AMD 5500GT. Så en større opgradering, men med samme strømforbrug, kan jeg se :D

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

meldrik,

Discord. And no, Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

meldrik,

It’s missing voice channels.

I didn’t know about Revolt. It sounds awesome and does indeed look like a Discord clone, but while you can self host it, instances can’t communicate with each other. The devs of Revolt actually recommend NOT to self host.

Signed up for Revolt, but still waiting for the email confirmation…

meldrik,

That doesn’t look like voice channels to me, like in Discord?

meldrik,

Helt enig. Hvis vil så sige at det er en del nemmere at overtale et familiemedlem end en arbejdsplads.

Stort set alle i min famile, som er IT-mongoler (skal bare have adgang til en browser og lidt LibreOffice), kører Elementary OS på deres bærbare.

Min onkel har kørt med Elementary OS i godt 10+ år på den samme bærbar og den tøffer fortsat derud af 😂

meldrik,

Hvis hun kan nøjes med en ældre version af Photoshop er der: github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

meldrik,

Dengang i gamle dage, købte man Photoshop. Ikke som i dag, hvor det er på abonnement.

meldrik,

I think you are partially right, but I think the only reason Windows is easier for the user, is because they are pre-exposed to Windows.

If you took someone, who has zero knowledge of any OS or its GUI, I honestly doubt that Windows would be better.

It’s the same if you take a person who has only known MacOS their whole life and ask them to navigate in Windows… or vice versa… You won’t see positive results.
