  • Jellyfin over the internet

  • You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It's what I use for my setup.

  • I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well

  • It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0

  • For a lot of people it's not even "going back". They are either to young to have experienced the old web or did but bounced of it. There is a sizeable group of people out there, who went online for the first time not despite facebooks privacy invasive profile building but because of it.

    Lemmys default web UI doesn't have a endlessly loading newsfeed. That's a intentional design decision to help users spend less time on the platform. Because spending to much time on social media is bad for your mental health. So having friction points is a good thing.

    Except the competition doesn't do that. So what is your average social media addict to do when they hit a friction point? They won't close the browser. Instead they will go back to the commercial platforms.

    Some people like junk food. But creating addictive social media yourself isn't a good option either

  • All the open source alternatives also work on windows. You could try them on your current OS and make the switch to Linux once you're confident you've found a workflow that works for you.

    Lightroom: Darktable Photoshop: Gimp (version 3 just released) or Krita Illustrator: Inkscape

    One note though: The Windows versions tend to be a bit of an afterthought. Performance can therefore be not as good as the Linux version.

  • Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people”

  • I hate to be the one to break it to you but AIs aren't actually people. Companies claiming that they are "this close to AGI" doesn't make it true.

    The human brain is an exception to copyright law. Outsourcing your thinking to a machine that doesn't actually think makes this something different and therefore should be treated differently.

  • Öl is German for oil and it is winning most elections as far as I know

  • What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

  • It's a term that goes back to the cold war. There was a strike and the Soviet Union ended it violently by rolling tanks into the city. This put communists all over the world into a bit of a dilemma: on one side of the conflict was the working class making their opinion known (a communist value) and on the other the Soviet Union (the good guys). So whose side should they take?

    It was British communists who coined the term "tankie" for those who defended the SUs actions to brand them as "fake communists" who are more interested in identity politics (the good guys did it, therefore it's OK) than the plight of the working class.

  • How about during the signup process(step) the user gets instance allocated randomly?

    Jump

  • There is another downside. The local and global feeds are potent discovery tools. But they only work if you group people with similar interests onto the same instance. Your proposal assumes a certain amount of homogeneity. If everyone is interested in the same content anyway then yes you can distribute it randomly. But all the people interested in Linux memes are already here. If we are to expand our reach we need to have instances catering to other interests.

    And it also doesn't work with international communities. German speakers for example go to feddit.org, precisely because that's where German content is going to be amplified via the local feed and therefore easier to discover (for people an that particular instance)

  • Wow. You really don't see the irony in that sentence, do you?
