  • I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good

    Jump

  • of course... but plenty are. When you see kids at school saying they want to be content creators as a job you know it is only going to get worse. I never said it was right or wrong but it is exactly what it is for a large percentage of people. Also can't get past the fact that like googling something, watching a video on youtube is literally in peoples vocabulary

    Jump

  • but after youtube has taken it's cut and share of the creators there isn't much left. This is the chicken and egg situation

  • you can't really.... being federated and no ads kinda ruins that idea as it is hated by many

    Jump

  • I have to say I think Peertube itself is good, but the content still isn't there yet. Of course we all know that's because there isn't cash to be made on Peertube

  • WeTransfer updates T&Cs, allows it to use your data to train AI

  • The real irony is people on facebook moaning about their data being used...

  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • Gotta be better than being tracked everywhere... and of course I personally use a vpn (and encrypted traffic to the server)

  • Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK

    Jump

  • you know that the new online safety act mandates age verification for pretty much anything don't you?

    Jump

  • to be fair they are forcing age verification on everything... can't see FB/Meta being clever enough to sort it out though

  • Trouble setting Let's Encrypt certificates for Pangolin

    Jump

  • for future reference there are a few ports that need to be open for let's encrypt to work, and it has a very small timeout (as you have found) so if the dns isn't great it fails. Cloudflare will cache your site/dns so usually works

  • Which guides to trust for novice / normie getting started?

    Jump

  • I take it back. Funkwhale is working again.... Discourse is gone for ever though as Discourse themselves only want docker installations moving forward

    Jump

  • To move your photos from google I recommend Immich. Is available as a docker container, or yunohost though don't use the official yunohost version there is a better version that supports HEIC and some other formats. You can find that here though

    https://codeberg.org/Loowiz/immich-docker_ynh

    It is still easily installed using yunohost but upgrades are manual

  • Which guides to trust for novice / normie getting started?

    Jump

  • +1 for yunohost, though it can be a slow solution. However it will get something up and running easily, provide certs etc. and let you start out on self-hosting. With a half decent old pc you can host a load of services. You could run your own lemmy instance for example. However a lot of newer things are often broken or fail to work in Yunohost (funkwhale and discourse are a couple of things that are beyond redemption)_

    Jump

  • That's because they are free. You really do get what you paid for - or not in this case. It's in the t&c's too

  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

    Jump

  • There is something in that, plus the internet in general seems to be getting dumbed down a lot. Fedi also seems very much a place full of extreme views which for a lot of people is just a turn off. As a bloke seeing loads of content that is obviously sexual is also something I thought we'd seen the last of...

  • Error 1033 Cloudflare

    Jump

  • It should, and yes I used to think that. I'm in the UK and some routers just fail to work properly with higher port numbers, especially cheap routers from cheaper providers. Once you start getting above 8000 the traffic is limited thus me saying try a lower port number. Plus yunohost doesn't really ask for a port number as you should add a domain first, then install the application (it uses docker btw) on that domain, then cloudflare to the domain. So the port number isn't required. I'm guessing, but can't be sure, that this is the real issue. yunohost adds a self signed cert and configures the firewall etc. so if you don't do it right using a cloudflare tunnel it just doesn't work. I'm guessing the OP hasn't done it like this, and then it will never work - believe me I've tried. yunohost also adds fail2ban, firewall inside yunohost and various other ways to protect what is served

  • Cloudflare wants Google to change its AI search crawling. Google likely won’t.

    Jump

  • I disagree. Searches are not googles main focus these days. Blocking their crawlers will just make the AI searches better - exactly what google want

  • Photo management - storing friends' photos

    Jump

  • Pretty much using for your family and not for a photo sharing app for everybody is how Immich was built....

  • Threads is nearing X's daily app users, new data shows

    Jump

  • X has declined yes, but threads is growing. Loads more joining recently as well. Most seem to move from FB to threads because they have a Meta account, so have an Insta account soooooo.... Threads is a dumbed down X (I can feel the heat I'm gonna get for that) Meta is by far and away the largest for users - we all know it and it means that promoting threads inside Insta and FB means people will see what it is like. Here in the UK it is refreshingly free of ads, is quick to post/reply/interact and feels new. How long that will last is anybodys guess as per usual
