Apparently kbin does not understand DMs send from Lemmy. So after sending multiple kind requests to stop posting off-topic posts here I have no choice but to do it public now. Don't take it personal but disability issue and related government regulation are not related to Anarchism as much as I do think these are important topics (but in another community please).

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Not exactly sure how this is related to Anarchism, but an anarchist answer would be: shoplifting ;)

Of course buying in bulk and sharing with others can also help to some extend.

The main link is to the codeberg.org repo with the code that can be self-hosted.

It's all copied from the Romans 🤷‍♂️

I read this a while ago and while interesting I think it overstates the specific role that Anarchist thought played in it.

It is well known that radical movements attract people with questionable ethics but who are the same time quite fluid in their political believes.

On a side note... I believe Stirner was mostly trying to troll his contemporary German philosophers and not start a new branch of Anarchism.

The web-UI and Pictrs image host has been down for more than a week now, but the backend API for app use and federation was still working. But I have the feeling that sometimes during the last 24h that also went down, or at least I haven't seen a post relayed from them during that time.

I really don't know what's going on there, but at least initially someone said they ran out of storage on their server. But it seems odd that this takes more than a week to fix. Maybe the main admin is on holidays?

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Ok, good to know that it is still the same as before.

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Ugh, that will be a pain to fix indeed then. Makes it much more understandable that they take their time with it, but hopefully they also fix their backups.

IBR (in-band-registration) is disabled by default in all XMPP servers that I know off to prevent people to accidentally turn their unmaintained servers into spam origins. Just create accounts via the CLI or set up a proper invite system (on Prosody or Snikket).

You can install any desktop environment like KDE and I guess proxmox should allow passing through the main GPU to a VM.

Maybe there is also a way to install KODI without a full-blown DE.

Bluetooth is probably too slow for what you want, but you could use your old phone as a Wifi hotspot and even install various server software on it via Termux.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

I think this could be easily achived with an activitypub FEP and an alternative Frontend for Mastodon etc.

Why reinvent the wheel?

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

No, and it will likely need some outdated off-mainline kernel meaning it will not be possible to update properly.

Either get an ARM SBC from a reputable brand with good software support, or some refurbished x86 thin-client.

Sorry, was what the website returned as the title and I didn't see it until after posting. Edited now.

This has seperate Intel i226-V NICs, so it's not all on the CPU, but I guess the actual throughput would need to be tested.

Reverse-proxies are not necessarily limited to HTTP, but you can set up SSLH in Opnsense to do something similar.

But for SSH you would usually log into one machine and form there do a second SSH connection to other servers in the local network.

what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

I want to reset my server soon and I'm toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my...

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Fedora Server works well, and the Podman integration works well.

I guess it is the boring option, but probably the best when coming from Ubuntu.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Until you realize some of these long time users are likely sockpuppet accounts of said devs.

But I find it rather funny and in the end their political believes while themselves sitting right in the "imperial core" are harmless. Armchair tankies.

This is very likely fake somehow. The source-code of the banner links to: https://github.com/Linuzifer/domain_seizure

  1. Very likely no (but maybe some SMART data?)
  2. Probably only if it is the identical model, but depends on the the exact implementation I guess
  3. Probably if it claims to support them as individual drives, but you will be still limited to the speed of a single SATA3 connection.

SimpleX Chat Ltd is a seed stage startup with a lot of user growth in 2022-2023, and a lot of exciting technical and product problems to solve to grow faster.

Run by a VC funded for-profit company. That really should tell you all you need to know. Sorry, but no thanks.

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Where did I even mention Signal? Total strawman argument, as I don't think Signal is a good option either.

But you go ahead and trust Simplex Chat Ltd. I guess some people only learn from their own mistakes 🤷‍♂️

You walked right into my deliberate rethorical trap 😅

There is no such thing as trustless computing, and anyone that tries to sell you that is scamming you or drank the same kool-aid.

The Realtek one might be only 1gbit, but I agree it doesn't really matter.

If you order one let me know how it goes as I am also mildly interested, but for now I don't really need it.

Prosody can be configured to permanently save chat and files, you just need to change the default settings. If I remember correctly an empty value for the retention means infinite, but I don't think that is a good idea as it just wastes storage space.

Otherwise I think you will run into issues with search as none of the xmpp clients consider permanent searchable history to be particularly important. And I tend to agree, as chat is among the worst possible ways to store information, no matter the search capabilities.

Happened to me yesterday on the official element webclient 🤷‍♂️ These are far from solved.

Please don't use Pidgin, its horribly outdated and doesn't properly support nearly everything you want. For Windows Gajim is currently the best option, otherwise see: https://joinjabber.org

Getting messages synced between modern clients works reliable since a long time.

Marking them as read on the other hand is not a feature of message carbons and there were different sometimes contradicting ways how that was implemented (it is a surprisingly complex topic).

That said, just a few weeks ago there has been a renewed effort to standartise message read synchronization and it looks like the major clients are on board this time, so I hope that will get much better soon.

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

No, or rather not quite. XMPP is designed on a need-to-see system where basically only the meta-data that a server or client really requires to function is shared with it. This can mean that there is quite a bit of meta-data shared with various servers in a popular group-chat, but that is rather the exception.

Matrix on the other hand is designed as a replicated data-store, meaning that really everything is shared with every connected server by design. The reason for this is so that chats can continue to function even when the original server is removed etc. This was the big original selling point of Matrix, but lately they have been somewhat quiet about it as it largely contradicts privacy concerns and might even be fundamentally GDPR incompatible. In any case it is pretty much a meta-data nightmare.

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

In the case of email you have to actively send something to someone for it to be on their server. In Matrix it is sufficient for a 3rd party to join a chat for them to get the entire chat history (hopefully e2ee) including all meta-data back to the very first day the chat was created.

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Currently the OMEMO as implemented in most clients only encrypts message content, but not the meta-data. There is a newer, sadly incompatible version that encrypts more, but few XMPP clients support it (AFAIK only Kaidan and Moxxy).

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

No, that is only solving the problem of long loading times when first joining a chat (caused by the server having to download the entire chat history and meta-data). Eventually the server still has to synchronize the entire chat. There is no way around it by design.

Wait, who other than the grandparents actually wants to see the baby pictures? In my experience it is insufferable new parents that want to show their baby pictures to everyone and you have to pretend to like it to be polite. Maybe others just agreed to using another messenger just so they could ignore it better?

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

I am genuinely happy for them, but that still doesn't mean I need or want to see random baby pictures twice a day.

P.S.: my basement is fine, thanks 😅

As nice as Yunohost and similar platforms are, IMHO you quickly get to a point where they hold you back. It can be fine if the limited set of features is all you want, but I have seen people outgrow these platforms very quickly.

poVoq OP Mod ,

There is a flagship instance that is run by the developers and also the option to self-host it. They have a page about that in their documentation: https://docs.karrot.world/self-host/why

poVoq OP Mod ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Yes, I linked the documentation on that elsewhere in this thread.

poVoq OP Mod ,

They recently explained the difference here: https://fosstodon.org/@karrot/112225634228726754

Google Talk was never Jabber. The Google Jabber integration was way before that in Gmail. Google Talk was what came after Google decided to abandon Jabber.

And yes Google very much held Jabber back by having the largest user-base in their Gmail integration and refusing to even implement SSL for that let alone supporting any other innovations like better mobile support. If Google had actually supported Jabber instead of sabotaging it, we would not have this discussion.

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Wikipedia is not a good source on this. By the time Google's XMPP based messaging product was renamed "Google Talk" it had long ceased to be compatible with the wider Jabber federation.

While I agree that Google does also sabotage their own messengers, it was deeply involved in XMPP specs development and other stuff around the ecosystem in the beginning, and then just quietly began to blockage urgently needed changes as they were unwilling to implement them in their system.

But I guess this discussion has reached the end of being useful as you clearly have a lack of understanding what actually happened back then.
