Isn’t the UI very similar or am I missing something? I didn’t see any major differences when initially comparing them except PieFed having some more features like reactions and cross post comment loading (which I don’t think is a thing in Lemmy?). I have mostly used PieFed since then though.
Don’t think crypto is the solution to replacing payment processors. The distributed networks is going to have enormous difficulty scaling to even a fraction of the number of card payments processed each day.
I saw it in a post about people getting temp bans for simply stating that EU allies would be right to defend Greenland in case of military action. Might just have been one of several grievances with Reddit at the moment though
I have indeed seen that option, and I think I will eventually, I just have some things I want to sort out first. Like making sure I have Rules and Policies setup, that Topics are set up, and I have migrated to more proper hosting (at least to the point where I can scale out from a single server with little to no downtime).
I have been playing around with setting up my own little PieFed instance: https://nord.red/, the one I’m posting from now. Set it up in the weekend and I’m kind of surprised how smooth the process was.
Why? Mostly for fun, but also because I feel like I would like to contribute what I can to there being non-American alternatives to Social media available, especially with the current climate and the appearance of increased censorship on Reddit. With about a decade of experience in systems administration and DevOps, and with a decent amount of free cash flow I thought perhaps this is something to try out and see where it leads.
I don't have any specific goal other than it being a "Nordic Reddit" and a gateway to the fediverse.. but I know there are already at least feddit.nu and feddit.dk (and probably for Norway and Finland as well) and I don't want to fracture a already small communities.
For now the setup is a bit experimental, as in its completely dependent on a single computer in perhaps non-ideal conditions… but I do have a pretty solid plan for scaling it up (i. e. getting hosts from Hetzner in Finland)
Should I commit to this? I dunno, probably not as I have like 2 weeks of experience of the Fediverse 😆
I’m not sure what you mean, are you trying to imply that the EU at the current state is not dependent on US technology? Because I think that is simply not true at all. In general the US is massively ahead on tech (and not just AI) and a lot of EU companies has made themselves dependent on especially US cloud providers. I have worked on finding EU alternatives and while there are products that can work it’s usually clear that it’s somewhat behind and you’re playing catch up.
It’s interesting to hear that there are at least some cases of the US also being dependent on EU technologies.
Edit: Im not saying that it’s impossible or that we shouldn’t reduce our reliance on US techs and cloud products. Just that it’s delusional to pretend we aren’t behind.
AWS ska ha credit för att de verkligen verkar ha ansträngt sig med den här lösningen. Rent tekniskt så låter det ju solitt med att de har sett till att enbart personer som fysiskt befinner sig i EU kommer att ges åtkomst, och saker som att de ska ha tillgång till källkod så att det kommer att gå att fortsätta drifta även om det skulle sättas in sanktioner. Frågan är väl ifall de fortfarande skulle välja att följa order ifrån det amerikanska moderbolaget, och ifall EU-lagstiftning skulle tillåta det.
Men i slutändan så spelar det nog inte så stor roll, de kommer aldrig att komma ifrån associationen med USA. Om man seriöst överväger att lämna AWS så går man nog hela vägen till en annan leverantör.
You could try a Wordpress static generator extension like SimplyStatic. Then you’d be able to export your existing site to static files but it might not work properly with some extensions.
The headline makes it sound like they have access to all you call, but the text make it sound like it’s just the WhatsApp calls history and contacts and that’s… obvious?
If they actually have access to message that and it is t end-2-end encrypted at all is on a whole different level.
Vet inte riktigt vad jag ska känna om det här, men det är åtminstone lite komiskt att de seriöst planerar att skaffa ett eget litet kärnkraftverk för att driva sina grafikkort 😁
At least when pouring my shit into Big Tech I can be reasonably sure that it disappears into the ocean of other data they have, and it's exceptionally unlikely that someone with the access to do so would actually look into me specifically.
That any unhinged individual on the internet can pull out more information than strictly necessary about my online history is a completely different threat model. I understand that the federated model requires some level of data sharing to keep track of posts but I would kind of have expected that the instance that "owns" the post would be the only instance that needs this info.
On the other hand, I'm sure that absolute privacy like completely hidden post history to some extent will help bad faith actors with troll farms and bots so I don't fucking know.
Last time I (was forced to) use SUSE it was unfortunately vastly inferior to RedHat. Mainly in terms of reliable stability like how they claim to have the longest supported major versions but change so much in their "Service Packs" that you'll have to be on your toes every 18 months anyway (and release notes for the SP wasn't really created, only for major versions). and Arch doesn't even try to deliver that kind of stability..
Ubuntu is probably a better bet since at least Canonical is based in the UK. Or simply Debian
This may just be a shot in the dark but what is the MAIL_USE_TLS setting in your configuration? I also had issues with mail delivery to start with and it turned out that the problem was that I thought that setting was for SMTPS, but it's actually whether to use STARTTLS. Granted since you're using port 587 either value should work, but Mailgun might block unencrypted submissions.
Also, I think almost all email delivery happens from the celery instance. This was also a mistake I made to start with because I didn't prioritize getting async up and working (turns out that's very important).

Aking because I'm experimenting with my own Piefed instance and are interested to know the worst-case CDN costs if people would actually start to use it (as if I have any compelling reason to choose my instance, lol).

It was 3 day site wide bans as I understood it. Reason given was that saying that Greenland should defend itself was "threatening violence".

You say that as if we have a choice

When you've had enough of the Huskys shit?
Alright, lets do this.

The collective Arch username has already encountered every single possible problem so of course their wiki is excellent

Oh yeah, and not voting against the party that is outspoken in taking Israel’s side is somehow better for Gaza?
Yeah, my first thought was that it’s a reference to how facism has grown by allowing people to discuss it in anonymous echo chambers.
