  • I think I have uids set up, but I’m not positive they’re set up correctly.

    Here’s an example of /etc/subuid for example, with it a bit anonymised for my specific user setup:

    core:524288:65536
    syncthing:589824:65536
    userA:655360:65536
    userB:720896:65536
    userC:786432:65536
    

    Syncthing in this case isn’t running any podman containers, all sharing is done bare-metal. userA is working, but userB and userC do look like they’re configured “correctly” at first glance. podman system info seems to be outputting the results above

      idMappings:
        gidmap:
        - container_id: 0
          host_id: 1101
          size: 1
        - container_id: 1
          host_id: 786432
          size: 65536
        uidmap:
        - container_id: 0
          host_id: 1101
          size: 1
        - container_id: 1
          host_id: 786432
          size: 65536
    

    Note: The user in question here is uid 1101, another new user I created for testing purposes.



  • As far as I understand, it should as it’s embedded inside the actual image file and not mounted.

    I’m having other strange behaviour on non-1000 uid accounts. For example, running docker.io/library/httpd using the podman examples page on an account that isn’t userid 1000 will create an issue where it complains that libgcc_0 isn’t installed. This works flawlessly on the uid 1000 user.

    It does make me think that something needs to be configured for non-uid 1000 users on podman. This is not replicable on arch linux on my raspberry pi, fwiw.




  • Any interested in making this a federated search?

    I’ve been toying with the idea of a web-ring style search engine where it uses the fediverse’s post and sub system so that you can subscribe to “indexers” that are made by other users (or even mastodon users themselves) so that you can have highly targeted search engine systems. So, for example, you could make multiple search “scopes” and each of those scopes would follow specific other “sources” and search from them. Likewise, users could provide links and descriptions to add new entries to each scope which would, in essense, work like a fediverse post and then be distributed to all other interested parties.

    I haven’t done a lick of implementation yet, but thought I’d share the idea here as I consider doing this more and more every day. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is images, because ideally that would be a special type of scope view.


  • Honestly wonder if it was due to that interview with Jon Stewart where an EFF representative was basically told that if you’re not on Twitter (X) you’re not relevant to the discussion, effectively. While I don’t agree with that, I think that the EFF not leading by example means it’s hard to argue that other people should leave to bluseky or mastodon.





  • Neat but I’m getting errors just loading the page.

    A better browsing experience is definitely a nice idea though. I wonder if we couldn’t just improve the UI/UX of the actual peertube web interface though so that all instances benefitted from this work? (For example, allow setting up aggregate indexers on the instance settings (links to json repos) so that channels that exist on other unknown instances can be found quicker.)


  • The amount of furry / anime content on the front page might be putting off some new users

    I don’t see this on mine. Isn’t NSFW enabled by default?

    This is why I don’t generally believe in all being a good “starting” view for new users. Local would probably make more sense until the user has subscriptions, and then defaulting to subscriptions once the user has joined communities. This would mean an always active feed to start, prioritizing the “local” community for users to participate in the instance they belong to, while also not bombarding them with content from the firehose.

    My 2 cents, probably easier to say what to do than to do it though, being a programmer myself. 😎


  • Needing more users is fine. Sure, we could always use more friends (or enemies, I guess)

    But, ultimately, just having people come here first and then whatever hellhole corpo-media second is at least a step in the right direction. I feel like user activity increasing is a good sign that there’s a lot of people out there investing time in the fediverse instead of the corporate hell-loop social media.


  • While LOLA is great, I’d really love an established handshake mechanism for having two accounts on two bespoke services represent the same user.

    For example, I want to have a pixel fed and mastodon presence that can be authored between the two. However, you currently can’t make two accounts that are effectively linked to each other. I feel like this linking is important for further decentralizing the fediverse (by effectively decentralizing the user itself)



  • Active is basically like old forum logic, where new comments will bump it up back to the top. Scaled is my go to view first as it does a pretty good job balancing out communities of widely different sizes, so smaller communities that you’re subbed to have a chance of having their post be seen if it’s new and larger in upvoter count.


  • Hot take: the biggest issue is actually ever entering a community and seeing zero comments. Most reddit addiction stems from wanting to read comments, so I think people should add a comment to something if they’re upvoting and they see that the thread has zero comments.

    Nothing eliminates enthusiasm like seeing 0 comments on every post in a community, especially if that community is driven by bots.
