Why a user should use your instance where there are other free alternatives though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (5 children)

Who will keep the money? Who will calculate what users will have to pay? Who will verify that the money is being used for the purpose it was paid for? How will bringing crypto payments to fediverse increase users, considering that 99% of people have never used crypto before? What will happen to the data of users who decide not to pay anymore? Let's assume that all instances offer paid membership; wouldn't monopoly occur if a corporate/suspicious instance offers completely free membership? Wouldn't offering paid memberships hold instance admins legally liable?

Who will leave the mainstream platforms that are completely free and have many more users, and then pay and use a platform that is 1 in 100,000 times the size?

Even though I received a donation of about $10 for 1 year, I think the current system should continue. If money is involved in something, it would be abused.

Money involvement = enshitification

Let fediverse be unprofitable.

@[email protected] I have cleaned these and some other bot accounts from my instance. I was ok to open registrations to this point because we were able to get reports for almost every activity and we could easily manage them. But unfortunately Lemmy does not have a regulatory mechanism for votes, so I'll keep it manual approval until then.

Also it looks like they're manually creating accounts since we had captcha + email approval in our instance from the beginning. So this means that even with manual approvals, a botnet can be created – just in a delayed manner.

Alright. I’ll check this ASAP.

in 2016, an attempt to overthrow Erdogan and his religious-conservative administration was foiled

It was not a secularist coup. It occurred because of Erdogan's disagreements with his former Islamist partner, Fethullah Gülen.

You're right, that's worse.

Does the receiver instance federate that like object to other instances? If not, it is shit for sure.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

About $50 monthly for server, backups, image hosting, mails etc.

I’m using Headscale for work and Tailscale for personal use. I tried to use Nebula but it’s not easy as Tailscale.

 

I prefer simplicity and using the first example but I'd be happy to hear other options. Here's a few examples:

HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint
{ "message": "Unauthorized access" }
HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint
Unauthorized access (no json)
HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint
{ "error": "Unauthorized access" }
HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint
{
  "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
  "message": "Unauthorized access",
}
HTTP/1.1 200 (🤡) POST /endpoint
{
  "error": true,
  "message": "Unauthorized access",
}
HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint
{
  "status": 403,
  "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
  "message": "Unauthorized access",
}

Or your own example.

I have a 32:9 screen and I want to play CS2 in middle, 16:9 way. I couldn't do it natively and tried Gamescope.

While Gamescope works as I would like, the mouse is doesn't work properly. As you can see from the video, game is centered but mouse is aligned to right of the screen. The params I'm using are;

gamemoderun gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 240 --force-grab-cursor -S integer -- %command% -fullscreen

Any recommendations?

Yes, almost almost all of us have more than one account, but not everyone uses more than one account at the same time. I think these numbers are correct. There should be a margin of deviation of at most 10%.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

More realistic than mainstream social media platforms. On Lemmy, the number of active users is measured by posts, comments and votes.

Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.

So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?

I will upgrade the Lemmy version to 0.19.4 on Sunday 10:00 UTC. Therefore, we’ll experience about 1 hour downtime.

Normally, I do not announce these version upgrades, but since the database will also be upgraded and migrated, down time may increase in case of a problem.

I'm using EndeavourOS with ext4 file system for daily usage and a dual bootable Windows for gaming. What I want to have right now is getting rid of Windows completely.

When I tried it before, I had to try multiple tweaks for a game and find which one worked on Linux. Therefore, I want to take a snapshot with BTRFS and try it until I find the right configuration.

While I have quite a bit of experience with Linux, I've never used BTRFS. Do you think it's worth it?

I thought about keeping the games on the ext4 system, but I hate splitting the disk. I'm thinking of keeping the games in a non-snapshot volume.

UPDATE: I just re-installed EndeavourOS with BTRFS + snapper + BTRFS Assistant :)

I'm tired of removing spam posts from these two communities for the last 2 months. With the decision we made with Quazar; We're removing these two communities until Kbin's moderation improves.

There is almost no real human post, so I don't think we'll lose much. You can see the situation in home instance: https://kbin.social/m/opensource https://kbin.social/m/fediverse

Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

We're having some issues sending emails (thanks to Amazon). Therefore, I manually accepted the existing email verifications and moved to manual verification for the registrations for now.

Also, I am proud to celebrate that we have exceeded the 500th number of users 🥳

I would like to introduce you to the tool I have developed in last 2 days.

As you know, when you create a new community on Lemmy, it is initially only available to your instance until users in other instances follows too. To fix this, this tool automatically follows the community from remote instances.

I have previously published a similar but simpler version at boost.lemy.lol and now I remade it because I didn't like some of its features. This time, instance admins will be able to strictly choose which instances they will allow or not. I'm open to your suggestions about different settings.

Please ask your instance admin to add their instance to this tool. To add it as an admin, all you have to do is log in and activate it from the settings.

https://lemmy-federate.com

Here's some tasks I'll implement in the future: https://github.com/ismailkarsli/lemmy-federate/issues

I’ve been using Mlem as my main app for months and I’m liking it so far. The only lacking feature to me is admin buttons, which are delete/purge a user/post.

I think it is a pretty basic feature. A button and an API request. I can provide a test instance if you need one.
