Nothing wrong with the matrix spec. I’ve ran a matrix homeserver for several years now and have never had issues with illegal material. It’s free, open source, and self-hostable. If you have an issue with matrix.org that’s a different issue. Don’t use matrix.org servers. In fact, they have made it a point in their literature that they want you to use your own servers, they preach against centralization, and point out that matrix.org is an entryway to get you started, not an endpoint.
This is the part of the new compose file that I don’t understand:
PICTRS__OLD_REPO__PATH=/mnt/sled-repo PICTRS__REPO__TYPE=postgres PICTRS__REPO__URL=postgres://user:password@host:5432/db
When I try to add it, pictrs complains about not being able to connect to postgres, even though the credentials are correct and I’ve already run the postgres migration script. Did you not do this part when you upgraded?
Even more shocking is the revelation that somehow, even private DMs from Mastodon were mirrored on their public site and searchable. How this is even possible is beyond me, as DM’s are ostensibly only between two parties, and the message itself was sent from two hackers.town users.
I find this hard to believe but stranger things have happened.
Not every room or space will be hosted by someone self-hosting their server. I find it kind of appalling that this would be the solution. It’s certainly not what I’ve heard from people working on projects around moderation.
This is somewhat the goal, but without the hyperbole. Homeservers will be hosted by individuals or orgs, but will contain many rooms and spaces each. In 2020 there were over 20,000 homeservers. That number has without a doubt grown exponentially. The concept is the same with Mastodon. If you are worried about moderation on the matrix.org homeserver there are many lists of public homeservers across the web. Many people research homeservers to see if they are a good fit for them just as they do Mastodon instances.
This blog post gives a good idea of where matrix is heading. Notice their mission of decentralization.
Since agglomeration around a single instance is against the goals of Matrix and its Foundation, users need to have a way out and incentives to move.
We are committed both to making Matrix more accessible, and to doing the work to decenter the Matrix.org homeserver.
Matrix.org is meant to be an entry point, not a stopping point. As to your concern regarding built-in tools, matrix is just a spec, an open source federated communication protocol based on HTTP. The community builds tools. Matrix is not discord. In fact it is in opposition to the discord philosophy of centralization, data mining, advertising, and AI training.
It sounds like you are more concerned with the matrix.org homeserver than matrix itself. Matrix.org homeserver will eventually go away for personal use, this is the plan for the future. Matrix has always kept this homeserver open as proof of concept, but has not planned to keep it open forever as the goal is the widespread adoption of the protocol and for people and orgs to host their own servers and build tools using matrix.
The bullet points you listed are all currently able to be realized on any self-hosted homeserver.
I’m curious as to how you would improve the mod tools Lionir. I have found mod/admin tools and especially Mjolnir to be quite good.
Just keep in mind that even with a jetson board you’ll need one of the higher memory configurations to have a non-frustrating stable diffusion experience. 32-64GB like the Orin and those aren’t cheap. The nanos just don’t cut it without severe optimizations and very long generate times.
Elaborate on why samba is bad when it comes to security? Like list a bunch of links like this or write a paragraph summarizing them like a chatbot?
NFS does symlinks but they have to be configured correctly.
Samba may have not given you issues in the past, but it also doesn’t give you any security.
Also never use samba. At the very least use NFS.
That’s too bad. Nova’s usually a good show.
This is where the nature of federation really shines. .ml is one of the biggest lemmy communities? It doesn’t have to be. In fact as lemmy is still so new and various situations continue to shake out I would wager that in a few years time the top current communities will be replaced. And later on those will be replaced. Censorship resistance is built into ActivityPub by virtue of its decentralization.
I was thinking about the digg exodus to reddit just the other day.
It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest).
I’m working on it
Nevermind then. I was gonna say Samsung’s default mail app does what you want and afaik has no connection with Samsung or Google servers.
What model phone do you have?
You’ll want to use a reverse proxy with separate domains/subdomains for each service.
It’s extremely light to run, and very easy to install and upgrade. I ran one for just myself without open registrations. The only con is that the community (self-hostable) version doesn’t allow js due to “safety reasons” so in order to have something like comments for your blog you have to either perform several janky CSS hacks or adjust the source code yourself. The only reason I chose wf was because of federation, but I eventually switched to standard WordPress with the federation plugin and now have comments and whatever else I want.
Yes I watched your video. So many wrong comments from ignorance. And blaming a protocol for the behavior of people? Another commenter here pointed out how Tor could be blamed in the same way. Why not just do away with the internet then? Ridiculous.
