Let's see... Just today, in their presentation for the next patch, a child character got a new outfit, and a teaser that the next archon (god) is a kid - again. xD

I sometimes wonder wtf they're doing, ngl...

 

I just wanted to update to the latest version, and noticed that there does not seem to be a tag for 0.17.4.

Any particular reason or should I use a specific tag in my docker-compose.yml instead?

Thanks!

Yes we scan.

I am actually surprised IPFS isn't leveraged more for this.

This is quite neat. Been using DaddyLive to watch Bundesliga with Kodi, wrapped in some random extension... Rising Tides, I think it was?

No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)

...and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet "used to" work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.

Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^

Here's a brief: Instead of tweeting to one server, you tweet to many. When you and another person share the same server, they see you. Those servers (relays) can also be broadcasting your messages to other relays, so you might end up indirectly sharing servers as well. Because there are so many servers that potentially sync data, it is supposed to be "uncensorable". Each user is identified by a public key, and signs their message with a private key.

As for the SN aspect; you follow people. Hence the Twitter comparison.

Now what I did not mention on purpose: You can do microtransactions in bitcoins. And if you read that and thought "oh god no" - then yeah, exactly. xD

Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.

Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)

Was thinking the same - this looks like a prime usecase for IPFS, honestly.

 

The past few days, I have been heavily experimenting with Nostr as another alternative to centralized services. And, I am honestly impressed by just how good it is. The protocol is quite simple and works very fast.

However, the almost constant bugging of the integration with idontcarecoins is a little annoying. Easy to ignore, but still always there.

What do you think about Nostr? Have you tried it?

Honestly, the interesting tidbits you learn as you dig yourself into that rabbit hole is actually quite intriguing and fun. So yeah - I'd say it is also quite "fun" for the process itself!

 

I just finished setting up my instance and so far, it works quite well. But I have noticed, whilst observing the logs, that activity trickles in rather slowly, although I have a very good uplink - my VPS is situated with Hetzner, and, as far as their marketing speak goes, I should have a rough 20gbit. I don't quite buy it, but it should be plenty fast for communicating. Also, 4-core arm64 box.

I saw that there are admin settings that can be done. Got any recommendations on how to improve my Lemmy's performance?

Thanks a lot!

C: What if you used emojis for pointer (*) and deref (&) signs?

When I add [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) into my search field, it doesn't show anything - in fact, it ends up telling me that there are no results. I have to then go into the Communities tab again, and hope it shows up there.

I can see it doing work as I watch the logs. But this is really a little weird/frustrating. I hope this sees improvement eventually! =)
