Is much nicer 👍

Sounds quite good, but just use regular Debian, ubuntu isn’t any better and annoying with their Snap BS.

I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?

You can set up a Wireguard VPN.

Well, if you have read it then your cherry picking of minor ways Bluesky is slighly less closed comes accross as pretty bad faith 🤷

Hmm, did Pocketbase add AP support, or how is this implemented behind the scenes?

Please PM me about it.

I think you should find a smaller, well moderated instance and show it to your parents first. If they consent with her signing up to it, it should be fine and generally speaking there is no practical way for instances to check the age of their members anyways.

Tumblr is being reworked to have a Wordpress backend right now, and Wordpress already has well working ActivityPub support, so yes, Tumblr will very likely happen once they made the switch.

I suspect the technical debt in Tumblr was larger than expected when the first announce federation support, and now it became nearly a full rewrite, which takes time.

The most they can do is add a load of more users to the fediverse then take them away again. For them to successfully EEE the fediverse, it would require convincing existing fediverse users to switch to threads. I cannot see that happening on here on any noticeable scale.

Na, they were quite explicit what their plan is: they realized that there are interesting “content creators” on the fediverse, and that many other “content creators” are eying the fediverse and similar platforms as a way to have more control over the platform they use. And ultimately users will follow the creators, once the creators are sufficiently fed up with being taken hostage by facebook etc. So they are willing to let the creators switch to the fediverse, but want to retain the users as ultimatly that is where their revenue is coming from via advertisement and data harvesting.

We run the latest beta.7 on https://photon.slrpnk.net/

Search on my Akkoma instance works reasonably well. Of course there is no central index, so it can only find what it has federated before.

https://kanboard.org/ with some plugins maybe?

Currently only the Stripe backend supports recurrent payments by charging a credit card automatically. For Taler I plan to add an invoice like reminder email to simulate something similar.

One time payments are of course supported by both.

I started working on a modernized Fosspay fork and also got a small NLnet grant to add GNU Taler support to it. Sadly I am extremely busy with another project the next three months, but I expect to make some progress on it before the end of the year.

The R3 isn’t really powerful enough for that.

On small x86 routers you can install Opnsense or IPfire which come with some non-router software to run a reverse-proxy or so. IP fire also allows to run full VMs, but the more advanced features are pretty limited.

Some people also do the reverse and run a full OS on them and then virtualize Opnsense and directly pass through a NIC to that VM.

To give you ballpark figures. Self-hosting will not save you much compared to that.

Software like Akkoma or GoToSocial will save you some CPU and RAM costs, but are more optimized for smaller instances.

No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

I find it highly slanderous to be labled a “Rhodesia lover” for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

Please stop lying. I never defend Rhodesia in any shape or form. I simply stated that afaik Zimbabwe is considered the successor state by international law and shared some historical facts that you can also read up on the Wikipedia or any history book.

Down votes are public on Lemmy, and your account alone did enough harrassment, but yes I am pretty sure you also have at least two sock puppet accounts you also use to harrass people.

Get a life, you are embarrassing yourself 🤷

The down-vote and reply pattern is clear 🤷

They have been following me around on Lemmy the last couple of hours and called me a fascist and liar among many other falsehoods 🤷
