yeah but you’ve been away for like two days

the meta has shifted

no i meant do you think it’s the cia doing it

do you think the same is true for the hornyposting?

i mean maybe. i initially chose one of those instances for mastodon, but it turns out when you don’t defederate from anyone, others defederate from you because you act as a proxy for the nazis and pedos to reach other instances. so i couldn’t talk to my friends. it’s a bit of a hassle.

👍

yeah but, again, it’s seamless. my instance only hosts content in swedish, but that’s not really a problem. sorting by scaled means i still see things that happen locally mixed in with everything else.

it’s weird that, because once you’re in it’s basically seamless. it’s just that first step of picking a server based on your interests that trips people up, because aren’t you supposed to pick interests after you get in? more national instances would probably solve that, i think, so you can just go to your local one.

this might be the worst image i’ve ever seen.

…also why is bosnia and herzegovina in there twice

we need more hornyposting and leftist infighting

just use a make file like a civilised human being

why gitea instead of forgejo?

if it wasn’t for the webui, a bare git repo would suffice. any repo can be a remote. it’s distributed, after all.

forgejo is the most popular choice right now.

if you wanna be extra you can host git-pr

no, it’s literally all in service of sending notifications. but there’s a lot involved. android doesn’t have a way to receive them natively for example, you need to go through google’s services. so ntfy has to emulate the firebase api. then there’s the “exactly once” requirement, which is basically the two generals problem turned up to eleven because every platform syncs differently and you need some way to store messages that are in the process of transmitting. then there’s the matter of punching through NAT, so you need a STUN/TURN setup on the server.

and that’s on top of the fact that every platform requires different build options, manifests, certificates, etc.

if you want to send one notification from your desktop to your phone, it’s easy. but from any device to (m)any other, with guaranteed delivery and no doubles? shit gets complicated.

for some, yeah. depends on your use case.

for what it’s worth matrix has worked well for us. it’s apparently a bitch to set up though.

now do the other ones

soundn like a problem with your friends then. who doesn’t love a stoat?

you mean unlike the tools discord has replaced, such as “mumble”, “ventrilo”, “roger wilco” and “trillian”?

it ocr’s the image and checks if it contains a long number and the word “anonymous”.

yes really
