Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.

Yup this is the way. The resulting .kdbx database file is encrypted so you can even synchronize it over an untrusted provider. Otherwise you can use something like syncthing to keep it strictly peer to peer.

For URLs just put the URL into the lemmy search and it will find any posts with it.

For images there isnt really anything because it would require hashing all images uploaded to all instances and then allow people to search through them which is computationally expensive. Basically you want reverse image search like tineye.com but only for lemmy.

Thats what that will look like for example:

Thats a very poor description imo

That is basically what they do yes. ISPs are the only thing standing in between the entirety of humanity and out of the box selfhosting. With fixed IPv6 IP addresses you could build and sell devices that just self host all your stuff out of the box. You could just sell complete normie people a “cloud box” that they can slap in their home for a one time cost that will take care of all their cloud storage and smart device needs. You could integrate it into smartphone OS ootb so that all you have to do is scan a QR code on the “cloud box” and it connects all your apps that need it to it.

Unironically yes sadly :(

There is always that one comment saying “b-but its technically kinda federated”. It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% of all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.

Matrix and Email :D

Matrix certainly counts as “federated” which is whats in the title, but its not using activitypub so its not “fediverse”. Email is also federated and i assume you have that too lol

Just sit next to the airport with a telescope on days you know he will be there. He would have to change IDs every flight to avoid this.

Oooh okay it shows up only on comments of the tagged person. I was looking at posts and their profile. Thanks for the quick guide.

I never realized that Thunder has something for it, because there is zero UI for it as far as i can see. There is just the list in the settings that you can manually add people to. This doesnt do anything however… I expected the label to show up next to the username or something but it just doesnt.

They are the definition of move fast and break things. And they just keep breaking things while not even being that fast. But still there is nothing to replace it and the work they are doing is valuable.

If you want the new mobile client “element x” to work, you will need element-call on the server (a decentralized webrtc based call system). This currently only really works in combination with synapse, so i would go with synapse. Either the ansible playbook as mentioned by others, or look into the still quite new ESS community edition.

This is not great news for the matrix ecosystem

The ones with the most amount of code lines and dependencies probably. More code = more problems.

I dont know about other fedi services, but lemmy tells you at message composition, that DMs are not safe/private. If pixelfed doesnt do this, then that is really the issue.

You should really just do this without any web application. Just use a background shell script that does the resizing automatically on any image file that you dump into a certain folder. I have similar stuff set up for naming and sorting based on geo location data.

You can even make this work for mobile by having the folder that the script runs on synced to your phone. You take a pic on your phone, it gets synced to your desktop, converted by the script, synced back to your phone.

This way it also works if you want to share large amount of photos (of a trip or event or something)
