  • Do we need a crawler to load content from other lemmy instances? How are we supposed to federate without one?

    Jump

  • Piefed has a couple of different ways to populate a new server. Pulling lemmyverse data and subscribing to comms that way, or scanning a remote Lemmy/mbin/pieces server for comms. You can look at that code if you want inspiration.

  • Why do some instances not load communities properly?

    Jump

  • Usually Lemmy/piefed does a pull of the most recent 50 posts when the follow first happens. Then new posts come in over time via federation.

    If you're not getting /any/ new posts it may be that the federation is not working. If some communities gets posts more than others then it's probably a difference in activity levels in the communities.

  • Imagine you have infinite dollars backing you. What's the thing you'd want to pursue just because it's something you'd like to do with your life?

  • Aside from the make-the-world-a-better-place stuff, I've always wanted to have the space/time to make my own holograms.

    I have this idea for claymation+lasers+holograms to make little stop motion films, but as holograms.

    I don't know if it's possible, but if like to play with the tech and find out

    Jump

  • I loved my breadmaker back in the day. I'm in an apartment these days though, so no room for a new one after the last one broke.

  • When did you go full Linux nerd?

    Jump

  • I've been running 99% Linux for ten ish years or so. I finally got rid of the last windows vm a few months ago. The one hold out piece of software now runs in wine properly and I got to delete that vm.

    What do you think the most famous phone number of all time is ?

  • Hell yeah! Now that is going to loop in my head for the rest of the day....

  • I don't think we support mbin export/import ATM, but I've not tried

    I added Lemmy export and import to piefed a while back.

    I have a note to go work on the piefed export to Lemmy import on my List. It worked a while ago but seems unhappy at the moment. I'll add mbin export to the List as well.

  • Backyard in your terms. Rimu is the main dev, lots more of us helping.

    It's not a company.

  • Questions about PieFed

    Jump

  • Yes. You can follow a user and get notifications when they post something.

    You can follow a user, a community, an individual post, a comment, a topic (collection of communities), and a feed (user made collections of communities).

    Then you get notifications for posts/replies as relevant.

  • Out of interest do you have a link to back that up? Not questioning you, id genuinely like to read up on that.

  • Piefed has feeds now!

    Jump

  • For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I'll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a "Group" that only cares about the "Following" collection.

    You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds

    The AP interactions for a Feed are:

    • Send a Follow request for a Feed
    • Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
    • Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
    • Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
    • Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
    • Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers

  • is it wrong to ask a former coworker for help getting in touch with a hiring manager

    Jump

  • I have done this exact thing. Its what multiple career coaches have said to do. In my experience the networking aspect of job hunting is the part that actually gets jobs these days.

    So, imo, this is not wrong. Bob agreed so it was fine. It does sound like maybe buying Bob a beer and not asking that particular Bob to do it again is reasonable. But the process in general is sound!

  • You could programmatically rearrange the meaning of sentences. Ie instead of "where is the library I need to get a book" you could do some sort of full word replacement cypher and end up with sentences like "Lets mambo down to the banana patch."

    Just for fun. :-)

  • What was the hardest video game boss for you?

    Jump

  • Yeah, you have to be perfect and not get knocked off, otherwise its back to square one. Super annoying. But it does feel like a real accomplishment when you finally beat him!

  • Am I crazy in thinking that bash is good enough for production?

    Jump

  • "Use the best tool for the job, that the person doing the job is best at." That's my approach.

    I will use bash or python dart or whatever the project uses.
