Bra text! Jag tycker att ActivityPub når en rätt bra sweet spot mellan totalt makt för användarna och total makt för de som driver plattformarna. Det går att moderera t.ex. Mastodon på ett rimligt sätt (även om automatiserade och kurerade blocklistor borde fixas in i programvaran) så att bad actors förhindras eftersom man samlas ett gäng kring en instans. Så det är inte centraliserat som t.ex. Facebook men ändå lite grann eftersom man är beroende av ens instans admins/moderatorers beslut. (Sen kan man flytta till annan instans eller skapa egen).
Nostr däremot verkar svårare att moderera och det är väl därför Jack Dorsey gillar det. Fördelen är att det är "censurfritt" men det är också nackdelen. Man vill ju få bort naziskit och annat skräp. De har ingen rättighet som säger att jag måste interagera med dem.
ActivityPub verkar vara en bra avvägning
I’m all-in on the Fediverse as the best way to own my own data and network. It’s based on an open standard (ActivityPub), loosely-coupled and open source services, and everyday people (and, it isn’t subject to the whims of lying, narcissistic billionaires). You can think of it as the next iteration of the open web, with social features baked in.
I’ve got a number of accounts that correspond with content that the different networks are good at – posts on Mastodon, photos on Pixelfed, reading habits on Bookwyrm. If I post something on one that I think my followers on a different network may like, I can boost it directly for them to see; or, folks can follow me on whatever platform they choose. My WordPress blog has federation switched on, too, so you can if you like follow @andypiper@andypiper.co.uk, and read my blog posts directly in your Fediverse platform of choice. (of course, RSS remains another excellent way to follow my blog).
By the way, if you’re curious what the buzz about the Fediverse is all about, I recommend Elena Rossini’s newsletter The Future is Federated – in the edition that was published today, she did a great job of explaining some of the interoperability between federated networks, from the perspective of, you know, just actually, using them, rather than from a deep technical angle. Worth following!
One of the other services I’ve been using is PeerTube, a federated alternative to YouTube. Up until now I’ve been on Diode Zone. However, that instance recently started to run into some storage issues, and also switched off the live broadcast feature that I’d occasionally used to stream some 3D printing and pen plotter content (this is straightforward to configure in OBS, by the way). I really appreciated my time on Diode Zone, but I’ve chosen to move across to MakerTube, a relatively newer instance dedicated to “makers, musicians, artists and DIY content creators”.
One of the core elements of the Fediverse is data ownership, and some form of portability. When I first joined Mastodon I started out at mastodon.social/@andypiper – if you visit that profile page now, you’ll find my posts starting in November 2016 and ending in November 2022, when I moved over to my current home, macaw.social – there’s a large message that points you at my current location if you look at my original profile. When I switched instances, my whole follower network went with me, seamlessly – unlike, for example, Twitter, where I lost everything when I deleted all my accounts; or Facebook, which heavily relies on its lock-in – read Cory Doctorow‘s excellent book The Internet Con to understand what’s happening there.
The current state of portability is absolutely not perfect – in the case of Mastodon, there’s a process which enables to you to migrate from one server to another, and that automatically resubscribes you to your network, and your followers to your new account, but it’s currently not technically possible to take the past posts with you (there is a W3C Social Web Incubator Community Group taskforce that is working on a more complete set of specifications for data portability that may help to improve this in the future).
Here is how I moved from Diode Zone to MakerTube:
- Requested an account on MakerTube. They want to know who is part of the community, their content intentions, etc. I explained that I’m a maker and I also may plan to use the streaming feature.
- Requested an export of data from Diode Zone.
- this was technically a little bit frustrating, as it got stuck the first time (likely because I had requested it when there were earlier storage issues), but the instance owner was really kind and helped to clear the stuck process.
- it was also a bit annoying because of the size of my export including the videos, which was a lot of gigabytes; so I ended up having to run a script that kept running
wgetwith a resume flag to get the data in chunks.
- Setup the basics of my new account on MakerTube.
- Imported the export from the other instance.
- Modified a few places that were pointing to Diode Zone, such as my links page, and also updated a few embeds that were loading videos from my previous account, such as some of the Fedidevs.org meeting recordings.
- … while I was doing that, I thought I’d take advantage of PeerTube’s multi-channel capability, and created a specific channel for Fedidevs content, which you can now follow @fedidevs from other Fediverse platforms.
There were a couple of slightly rough edges, but nothing very significant:
- Unlike Mastodon, PeerTube does not run a process to tell your followers that you have moved, and to resubscribe them to your new account. In my case I didn’t have a huge number of followers, but I will be posting a video there to say that I moved, and I also updated my profile information to point to the new instance. It did re-follow the accounts I had followed, but didn’t do the other side of the process.
- The new instance imported my playlists, which was great – but some of them were playlists of my own videos, which I tend to create for curation and organisation, and of course, they still pointed at the videos on the previous instance. This was fairly straightforward to fix, just removed and re-added the videos on the new instance.
So there you are. You can follow my entire MakerTube account, my main channel, or the Fedidevs channel, if you like. I also have it set up to import future content that I may choose to post to YouTube, so that it has a free and open backup that Google can’t delete if I ever lose my account there.
I’m still frustrated that WordPress doesn’t seem to have a good integration for PeerTube content yet – I can paste a YouTube link here and get an embedded video, that’s less easy for PeerTube – but, I’m hopeful that will improve in the future.

That's not true.
Candidates of both stripes can, and do, loan their campaigns money at interest, and it's legal. Both Clinton and Trump made headlines for it in 2016.
Further, the federal minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2008, and that's more than enough proof to me that neither party cares about people.
Don't contribute money to these assholes. Put it in your savings or investments instead.

I have a rule.
I won't donate to a political party or politician who hasn't done something significant to raise the federal minimum wage.
Sadly, that's both of them.
Put the money in your investments instead (stocks, bonds, ETF's, etc) as no matter who we elect, your investments will get some measure of representation as our elected leaders continue to use their confidential briefings in order to make stock moves AND investment companies have been deemed too big to fail.

I said 'something significant'. Broken promises and pledges aren't significant. We've had almost two decades of broken promises and pledges on the federal minimum wage, and now people can be legally paid less than cup of Starbucks per hour in 2/3 of the US states.
You're so right.
I'm just going to ignore that they pretended the parliamentarian's word was law, which the Republicans did not do when Trump's tax scam was passed.
Let's engage in a thought experiment.
If Harris were to have negotiated a $15 minimum wage with Republicans but to do so had to give up the EPA. Would that earn your favor?
Let us assume that giving up the EPA is too much, do you see a world where the Republicans agree to anything while getting anything you are OK with giving up?
Perhaps you and the Republicans share some common wedge issue, do you think you would get any Democratic support for a bill that makes that trade?
Minimum wage is currently a partisan issue, a party that believes it should be increased and a party who doesn't think it should exist. Just keeping it is as is is a negotiation.

False.
It's 100% a bipartisan issue. Both have agreed that the status quo is a-okay, judging by their actions on the issue over the last near-20 years.
Most of those claims about treatment of trans people are just false. They are primarily based on misattributed actions of other people which harris has denounced

Hacking with care
cross-posted from: peculiar.florist/notes/9w4xuk0…
Hacking with carehackingwithcare.in/wiki/doku.php
Hacking With Care is collective composed of hackers-activists, caregivers, artists, sociologist, growing quite literally by contact and affinity.
Together we imagine, circulate, put in common resources and tools for care in accordance with hackers ethics and peer-to-peer philosophy.
We create occasions for body & soul rejuvenation and collective (re)appropriation of care. We work with an understanding of the needs and requirements of specific contexts, as can be found in hacking and activism. Similarly, we like to transmit to caregivers some hackers-activists tools and best practices, for example in relation to privacy/data protection, technological independence, operational security. Other aspects we like are creativity in care, access to knowledge, interdisciplinarity, questioning of norms…
Our actions evolve around two principal axis that could be (but not limited to): Care for hackers-activists and Hackers ethics and tools for caregivers.
They include care corners at hackers-activists events, pop-up massage sessions at the quarters of activists organizations, massage and well-being workshops and tutorials, compilation of resources and creation of original resources, research, news watch…
Indeed, we are aware big-hearted hackers and activists are exposed to life-threatening levels of stress and emotional challenges. Some burnout, some are imprisoned or experience limitations or abuse of their rights, in retaliation for their deeds. Some die. Meanwhile, the health-care sectors (where the most vulnerable people become yet more exposed) serve corporate and shady political agendas by default. We, as individuals, as communities, are being “holistically” attacked by the systems in governance : attacks and restrictions on life and freedoms keep intensifying everywhere, motivated by unchecked power and greed. They affect all, in all areas of life, including access to healthcare.
These converging realizations and the great joys we have in doing what we do all, inspired us to put together this initiative. We want to help become aware of vulnerabilities in our movements and organize so that each and everyone’s capacities to care and be cared for will not be compromised.
That's some dedication. :/ I even got down vote for video in sign language, i don't understand their point as they don't talk.
As soon as i can check who vote, i will ban them.
Nope, I'm just a moderator. Maybe i will setup my own instance : sublinks or piefed. Lemmy will soon allow moderators to check vote and it's up to the admin to activate it. if i recall correctly.
So i will simply ban on my own community**, that mean only the smallish community on the fediverse about sign language. Why ? because it's about deaf culture, deaf history...so i don't see the point of downvoting.
Wonse, when you downvote, my post diseaspear from the timeline.
Honnestly, I don't accept people with this kind of mentality. I prefer people that explain why they disagree.
if i could disable downvote on my community it would be better, but currently it's not possible. Or maybe a popup to blacklist the community when you click on downvote ?
Well, month ago,i wrote a post for rewanping the voting system. For example instead of dowvoting because the post is in german instead of english, we can have a tag/hashtag system with threesold.
As #spam and 10 people vote. Or good article, bad article, complex, sad, scary, not fun...and everyone add them and vote for the most revalent tag/hashtag.
And with this we can improve by leap and bound lemmy search.
Sorry for the long off topic, i let my toughts loose again. :)
There still can be points such as low post quality, misinformation, outdated data, discrimination of certain people etc.
True, but not in this community !pi_sourd@jlai.lu if them don't like those post, they can leave it as it is.
Awww that's called egoism. And also idk what client you use but on mine (Jerboa) downvoted posts stay in the timeline. Probably you just confused Lemmy with Reddit.
Nope, we noticed that some of our post diseaspered on our timeline. It was part on a heated debate about desactiving downvote 4 month ago.
Maybe it has been patched since on Lemmy.
Too complex. You'll have 2-3 votes on every hashtag at most. Implement subcommunity categories instead. It'd be more useful
I believe the opposite, it is way more informative compared to the voting system. I can upvote because of a cute cat, in the picture, it doesn't tell you why i upvoted. Maybe people downvoted because the post wasn't filtered with langage option ? Or maybe because it was boring ?
I believe collaborative hashtag would greatly help semantic research.
I don't see why, my idea is in fact closer to gitlab/github where issue have their own tag.
That's what i dream for lemmy and it would improve its organisation :)
It hugely depends on what post, and what community. Political, scientific one, i post plenty of them and often i don't care. Video game, interesting topic, environmental, art design...i don't care.
And the one about sign langage i just want to deactivate downvote on this community, Why ? So you just have to chose between ignore or upvote. Because 99,99% of you, in the fediverse aren't deaf.
Masto, iceshrimp doesn't have downvote system. I often post from them to lemmy and it works well.
Latest Verge article about their review of Asus ROG Ally X (and this is why gamers are preferring Steam Deck)
Asus ROG Ally X review: the best Windows gaming handheld by a mile
The Asus ROG Ally X has the most comfortable grip, the smoothest gameplay, and the longest-lasting battery among Windows gaming handhelds.Sean Hollister (The Verge)

This is a sensible recommendation. Even though I despise windows and Asus has support issues historically ( very lame ones even), the hardware itself is very good and any Linux distro can be easily flashed.
I wouldn't dismiss the handheld based on a windows review really ( hint : windows will forever suck).
Ah oke, didn't know that to be honest. So you don't boot up on desktop environment anymore? I saw some videos that showed it was a regular windows 11 installation and barely usable with the touchscreen.
Is it something like steam now? That start at nice clean interface.
From a theft perspective, being able to hijack someones steam account is likely to be more lucrative than most. There's a window where they might be able to resell the account to someone who doesn't know how easily valve can verify true ownership and fix it.
You've still got a lot of botnets and cryptocurrency miners flying around. Ransomware is the big one that targets people with important data that a gaming device is immune to.
I don't think you'd want to swap
India isn't something you'd be able to handle
well i don't much like the way their political wind's blowing to be frank. it's like our political pollution got carried up to the 'nucks just like the rest of the pollution we unfortunately pump north.
THAT said i have briefly looked into it. The only reason Canada might take me is because of my tradeskill as an electrician, but there are significant roadblocks even so.
It's not going to be great, they can't refrain them selfs to put some kind of ads into it. But it's still windows, so easier to play those few games that can only be played or is easier on windows.
But I've no experience with Windows handhelds, they'll need to pry my steam deck out of my cold dead hands
No, it's still the desktop version. Have you noticed how ugly Windows 11 got recently? It's because of these optimizations.
Menus have become more touch-friendly and window controls become comparatively more robust as your screen size decreases. I'm surprised how much more frequently I interact with my touch screen than my keyboard and mouse sometimes.
I bought my Legion Go for portable photo and video editing and get a free Adobe license through my work, which is why I went with Windows. I've heard that you can install Creative Cloud on Linux, but I've been told by our technologists that the Enterprise login might not work when it detects the operating system.
At this point, most of my reasons for sticking with Windows boil down to laziness. If I really felt like taking the time to test Adobe, my eGPU, StarCitizen, and the various Legion Go hardware features, I could probably deliver more informed explanations. But alas... I'm too lazy right now and spend my non-lazy time working on other projects.
I had it running on my PC for awhile but switched back to 10 because my performance wasn't great. It isn't even running anymore because my videocard died this week, haha.
If only I could get the steel series software to run on Linux for my apex 350 keyboard I would've stayed on Linux. My next one will be Linux compatibiliteit, haha.

I mean, Windows would be fine if the OEM stripped it down instead of bloating it even more. They can totally do with with group policies.
I honestly don't know what they were thinking here.
I wouldn't agree either, but I think there's some kind of logic: At a certain point familiarity can be a detriment to learning if it leads to you adding invalid assumptions to your mental model because everything else is so familiar. If everything is unfamiliar however you're less likely to start making assumptions.
As for how true of effective this is, I don't know. Anecdotally however I had less problems learning entirely different keyboard layouts for example as opposed to layouts that are just slightly different.
I am slightly ashamed to admit the reason I'm not going to consider pop os is the stupid way they write it: Pop!_OS.
I'm already running 11 Linux VMs (and 3 bare metal Linux OS's) in my homelab so I think I've got plenty of Linux here anyway.
I own an OLED Deck, and while I absolutely love it, it isn't perfect from a compatibility standpoint. Getting other launchers to work can be a pain, and certain games that the hardware can easily handle have issues due to obnoxious shit like EA's launcher, e.g. the Dragon Age games. Additionally, mods can be fickle to get working on certain games. The majority of these problems can thankfully be overcome, but implementing the fixes can be tedious/annoying on a handheld.
That all being said, I'm amazed how far gaming on Linux has come. Valve and people like Glorious Eggroll have done excellent work in making Linux gaming possible. I hope as more and more Deck users get accustomed to Linux and make the transition on desktop, that developers start making native Linux clients so all these wrappers aren't even needed in the first place.
Valve has made Linux gaming stupid easy and still people are more worried about FOMO of that small percentage of games that don't run on Linux.
Unfortunately, most of the non-working games are also the ones people tend to have FOMO about. I feel like they're mostly online games with anti-cheats which, by their online nature, means that you will feel really missing out when all of your friends except you play the game, more so than single player games.
I mean there’s a time and a place.
What if someone has gamepass or a ton of free games on EGS?

Non streamed? You mean just running the game on the device? You could run games on steamos since it first released in 2013.
He means from Gamepass. On many non-microsoft platforms, the only way to play Gamepass games is streaming via xcloud
On Windows, Gamepass games can be installed locally from the GP app, but last I checked the GP app was still Windows-only
Unsure about EGS, but Gamepass can only stream via xcloud on non-microsoft platforms

Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I'm sure people have valid reasons if they're using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things "Linux."
Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren't aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.
Even Valve's own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they're being extra conservative with those. I've gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as "unsupported," but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.
ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn't heard of it.
But yeah, it's almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.
The only times it's OK are when it's planned for specific softwares. For example, I can't run Rocksmith 2014 on native Deck but it works fine in Windows. Similarly, software that's OS limited would be another use.
But if your main thing is gaming, and you aren't dual booting... Yeah, I'm judging you. (And I mainly use Windows on PC. But why, why, why would you need to only run Windows on a Steam Deck without a specific purpose
I had similar thoughts when I first discovered Pop!_OS. Just the name alone gave me vibes of some Fisher-Price toy operating system like it was meant for children, all cringe happy-smiley.
But I honestly suggest you get over your aversion to the name, and give it a try. It's actually one of the most pleasant desktop experiences I've had with Linux, and it's especially a treat on bare metal. Looks great, runs great and everything just works, including steam gaming.
Prosumers aren't going to care, because if the hardware is still OK, they can just re-install.
But consumers end up buying gear that is hobbled with shiteware.
But I agree, it is a little bit of a fiddle. Keep at it!
TBF that is literally the exact motivation behind Cinnamon. Mint was like "yo, GNOME 3 sucks for what were trying to do" and forked. I think that's also why you see such string MATE support with Mint, too. Those developers fucking loved GNOME 2 (with good reason, GNOME 2 was genuinely excellent).
Back in the day I thought GNOME 3 would eventually stabilize into something suitable for daily use, but their constant breaking of APIs frustrates me to no end and makes me view the GNOME project as just being... Out of touch with the reality of the kinds of people who use computers. They're so hyper focused on their usage patterns they don't recognize they've made themselves irrelevant to most of us.
I genuinely mean it when I say KDE and LXDE-Qt (these days just LXDE, but I want to make sure its clear what I'm talking about) are the future. Its not so much because I think their platforms are intrinsically superior, but instead their philosophy to how developing for the desktop works. And for those who think KDE is too heavy and LXDE is too idiosyncratic, running a desktop without any desktop environment has become downright easy as of late. I'm running MX Linux with fluxbox and Antix with IceWM and I rarely miss features of the big DEs and I'm just running what those two ship with.
I loved GNOME 2. It got so much right and really did a lot to get out of your way. GNOME 3 meanwhile has some truly stellar core ideas for how humans computer interactions can be performed but everything surrounding those core ideas (the ecosystem) sucks because GNOME doesn't value stability anymore. That's probably somewhat fine on a rolling release distro, but... I don't... Think the average person looking to GNOME's ease of use are going to trend toward rolling releases and are going to prefer pointal releases. Probably the best place to run GNOME on a pointal releases these days is Fedora since that's where so much GNOME development happens anyway, but Fedora has issues I frankly don't want to deal with because fedora doesn't offer me (emphasized because if fedora is offering you special value, that's fine abd valid) value thanks to being a somewhat unstable pointal release distro (be stable or be rolling release. Ideally be both. Don't be neither)
And all of this is kind of a shame, too. There's a whole ecosystem of GTK apps that are effectively decaying because no one trusts GNOME to provide a stable platform and for people who've come to rely on those apps, there's gonna come a time they're gonna have to migrate to unfamiliar Qt apps. They'll be able to handle it of course, but most people just want their shit to work how they know it works and to not deal with their system being different from how they're used to.
I did the same transition a couple of months ago (the Windows to Pop! OS one, not the desktop environment one) and even though I'm a gamer (something which has stopped me from moving to Linux on the main usage of my home desktop since the late 90s - were I've usually had it on dual boot but not used it that much) am very happy with it.
I've actually been familiar with Linux since way back in the Slackware times, but only now have I started using as my main desktop.
I do think it's getting to be the Year Of Linux On The Desktop for a lot more people than ever before thanks to the aligned forces of Windows "all your computerz belongz to us" 11, software as a system with general enshittification and just how much easier it is to game on Linux thanks mainly to Valve and the steady, unrelentless, stream of improvements being done by the Wine devs.
Isn't it interesting how operating systems have a culture? From my early days of working with windows, it was completely normal for every other program to want to run itself at startup, no matter how useless it was to do so. And people just accepted it. They thought that computers literally get slower over time or something. Oftentimes I'd glance at someone's system tray and see 15 icons or so.
On Mac and Linux though, this behavior is far less acceptable. Today on Mac it is by far worse than ever but still probably better than it was, say, on windows 98. On Linux I could literally install 50 apps in a row without any asking me (or doing it without asking) to run on startup.
It's just up to what users will put up with. So windows consistently getting shittier shouldn't really surprise us. People have put up with that from the beginning. Both in terms of the app ecosystem and the os itself.
Like we went through at least a decade on windows where most free apps people used would literally attempt to, or force malware on your machine, in the form of toolbars or other useless shit running in the background. People were so complacent they wouldn't even uncheck those boxes when offered a choice in the installer. We really need better education in this world.
100% agree. I was getting tired of the start menu notification to sign in to windows, and how the updates would reenable telemetry.
I shouldn't have to constantly run a debloat script. I should be able to disable "create a windows account" notifications.
The steam deck showed me that Linux can run games, the only thing left for me is a decently running adobe suite, but I can live with the occasional dual boot for that.
Linux distros are waay worse!
They keep on advertising things like Desktop Environments and Window Managers and Display Managers and Printer Drivers!
And they don't even go about it subtly, like, one at a time. A single ad contains a list of around 10 or so Graphical Environments and even after you select one, it keeps on showing you the other ads, because you, apparently, can install as many of those things at the same time as your have HDD space for.
And then they keep advertising GRUB and systemd-boot! (Though I must give them credit for giving me the option of "No boot")
And even after you have finished installing, it is not enough, because you have to see an ad of 2 Network Card drivers, both being different versions of the same, because why not ?!
And turns out, everything that they give you in the package is actually third party! Meaning, stuff that has access to the lowest depths of your hardware, to stuff that you use to enter your bank details are all made by different people. So many people you have to put your trust into.
And if that's not enough, the people who compile it and send it to you might be totally different people from those who made the code!! What kind of heresy is this?

You joke but I've met people that actually think like this
Gnome 3 was a regression of what I still believe is a perfect UX metaphor for computing. Gnome 2 was perfect in every way. I've since gone to Xfce, but it feels like Gnome 3 and beyond is trying to make using Unix fool-proof for a touchscreen paradigm, and you really can't.
You should give people the keys without difficulty, but give them everything they need to not need them. And you're never going to run Gnome on a tablet. There's no point in making everything pronounced, you'll have an input device that's not a finger on a screen. Emulating something else like Windows or macOS doesn't make you seem unique, it makes you seem similar and if the paradigms aren't the same, its confusing. Have some audacity to be different.
It's important to remember Gnome exists because KDE was in a license fiasco of its own making. And we're in a new fiasco with GTK over mismanagement.
In what games do you get 120 FPS?
I stay under 60 fps the vast majority of the time and while the games i play are fairly demanding I personally think going over 60 or even 40 is a waste. I would rather increase the quality and/or reduce the power consumption.
And gamepass was my number one reason to not get a steamdeck. I play Xbox too, I might as well get the most bang for my buck if I already subscribe.
I should probably get Hades 2 someday, I should just finish Hades 1 first and probably wait for release.
What FPS and battery life are you getting on Hades 2?
I really want an OLED deck but I can't really justify the additional cost. The bigger battery and slightly improved efficiency seems like the best part about the OLED edition.
Anyways I usually only play on the train and most often on the bus to work, so as long as I charge the Deck each day it usually holds up well both ways.
I know there are working ones, unfortunately all but overwatch don't work from current games I play.
This was all in response to why anyone would choose a windows machine. I'm a use case that needs windows. I don't love that I do, but it is what it is.
Their questions are actually pretty straight forward, I really don’t understand the comprehension issue you’re having or why you feel the need to add the incredulous response.
Do you find the need to call people out like this in everyday conversation?
Because they've set up a false quandry. They're setting it up as a three option problem with no other options.
a. Use a Windows desktop to game because they prefer mouse and keyboard unless Steam comes out with a desktop.
b. Use a Steam Deck with mouse and keyboard but it has alleged poor support for that and isn't viable (I'm saying alleged because I've never used a Steam Deck though my son has one).
c. Use SteamOS and hope it has better keyboard and mouse support than the OS on the Steam Deck.
Those aren't your only options. You could also.
d. Use pretty much any other Linux based distribution on a desktop and install the Steam app on it. Why would you need a Steam based OS? Clearly they don't have a problem running Steam as an app in Windows, why not do the same on Linux?
They were probably thinking that they'd use the cheapest Windows license (no gp manager) and make more money by putting bloatware on there via deals with other companies.
I know you know but why are they so short sighted? I just don't think actual consumer experience is at the forefront of priorities. Deadlines and budgets are.
Eventually Microsoft is going to be forced to adapt and make an operating system that doesnt use 20% of your system resources, right?
surely they wont continue to make the same bloated, sluggish OS every year since windows 7 right?
Open Source Street View...
I was wondering why there isn't or if there is, an Open Source (Free, or not) Street View like Google Maps. I like geography as a hobby, like my other hobbies, and found GeoHub which sparked my interest in being a free geoguessr alternative. I just don't understand why Google is the only Mapping service people go to, is Google the only one that has street view? is this a hard business model to achieve?
Please, I'd love too know :)
Well, if you want to do it properly you'll have to mount a 360° camera on a car and drive a car through every street of the whole world. Takes a while. And then you'll have to obey the countries privacy laws and at least blur all faces and licence plates.
There are other mapping services that do it but Google were the first who got really popular and did it on a massive scale.

Yeah, if you use OsmAnd it shows you mapillary images in the app. You can click around the same as with Google, but the images are all open source.
Thus problem has already been solved :)
wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/St…
I was also looking into this recently, and I think one of the limiting factors would be the storage and processing power you'd need to blur faces and license plates and then let everyone have access to millions of photos on demand.
Gathering street view like data, processing it, running the service and keeping it up to date would require millions if not billions of dollars/euros in capturing equipment, server farms, wages, electricity, lawfirms.
If you want something thats compareable to the google service, its entirely impossible to do it with a project structure like osm has.
Even if someone had the funding to get started, they would most likely get bought out by google or apple or microsoft very quickly once they got comparable results.

any sane people would same the same about a map covering the whole world, and yet there is openstreetmap.
yes there are many challenges, but if you start small and grow from there it could work and maybe span a town or two in a couple of years...

No sorry, that's a completely different amount of data. Look at how large (or rather, how comparatively tiny) the OSM data set is. Now see how much photo data you'd get for that amount.
you have a point there.
and yet we have the internet archive... so it seems to be possible.
Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.
Its of course totally "technically" possible, but it would require some veeery generous donations from some pretty rich people.
Even if you get people to use their phones to just record everything around them, geo-tag it and upload it.
All that data would still have to be stitched together by some big ass GPU cluster that does things that currently only big tech companies can do properly at scale.

honest curiosity, don't want to flame war: do you have numbers for that?
stitching is no longer a requirement because of 360° cameras, is it? it could also be made on the client side if really needed. if people can use josm to contribute to osm, they can use some other software for stitching?!
have you seen that the internet archive has also quite high res books scans and videos?
if your aiming for covering every small street of the whole world tomorrow, you are right: it won't work. but nothing would stop to start with a single city or a region?
lets agree to disagree 
Is the current generation of street view still just snapshots from different positions with a 360° camera?
I thought it was proper 3D scans with images mapped onto it by now. I admit i havent actually used it in years.
But yeah if its just isolated 2D images then its probably not as much as i thought. The processing would still be tough i think but i dont know enough to even guess that properly.
I think doing small scale demonstrations would be cool. The community would probably be able to learn and improve from it a lot and eventually it could be scaled up.
Documentation re: ActivityPub integration in NodeBB
Now that the alpha version of NodeBB v4 has been released, it means that people are starting to look into using NodeBB for testing (or if they're really looking to have fun, production.)
The first step in enabling those intrepid individuals is providing documentation!
While a little bare-bones at the moment, I've written up a brief summary of what NodeBB brings to the ActivityPub landscape, as well as a run-down of various settings/toggles/switches, and how to switch over to the code branch that enables ActivityPub integration.
What I don't know is what's missing. There's a lot about NodeBB's integration that's very obvious to me, since I built it, but what don't you see that you'd like me to write about? Let me know.
Thanks!
reshared this
Caesar and Tim Chambers reshared this.
This is exciting! Is it compatible with Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin? And what about any other forum software, such as Discourse with the ActivityPub plugin?
I'd like to see some info in the docs about how to use it from a user point of view. For example how do I find a thread on another forum (or Mastodon etc) and reply to it from NodeBB?

My site is on a rented server at digital ocean. Some providers do more or less to protect you themselves though. I don't think digital ocean does much monitoring or protecting, I've had servers on there compromised in the past that would have been caught by my current setup. It can't hurt in any case.
I also run crowdsec on my home setup but I don't have any open ports at home and never get alerts. I had suricata running and plugged into crowdsec as well so it would handle blocking for both, but suricata never got to get any action with crowdsec blocking malicious activity, so I disabled it to save resources.
Oh gotcha. It was late when I replied :p. You absolutely get security with a layer of separation from hosting remotely. I monitor my home network and have a similar setup but I don't host anything from here. I never get attacked or probed at all compared to my remote server. Just having those open ports makes you a target. Once a few scanners pick up on you hosting content you will absolutely start getting attacked. Another benefit is you don't have to have any passwords on your remote host, just an ssh key. They can bruteforce all they want, good luck without a zero day. You also keep your personal IP address out of peoples scope by not hosting from the local network.
I used to run much heavier protection on my home network, but after keeping an eye on all the logs and alerts for a while I realized I was just wasting ram and storage space mostly. Sane firewall settings is enough for a typical home, and something like crowdsec is probably overkill.
Now if you are hosting stuff it's a different story. I would actually harden my local network MORE than I did the remote one due to much more of my personal stuff being on my local network. My remote host being compromised would be a mild hassle at most, It does self backups once a week, and I have my entire site in a private git repo I sync to. It would take a few minutes to throw up another server, if my home stuff got compromised a lot more damage could be done.

Hey,
cool seeing another bearblog in the wild (I also use Hugo + Bear for my blog).
Quick question: Why do you deploy the Hugo dev server and don't build your page to static HTML?
I use CI to compile the page and add it to nginx, which I then build into a docker container. Once it's finished, I deploy it to my server and it gets served by traefik.
That's another thing I was curious about. Is there a reason why you didn't use docker?
You mentioned in another comment, that you used snap, because it is used in the official certbot instructions. Did you intend this to be 100% faithful to official docs?
Nice. I might have to clone that setup for fun. What do you use for CI? I've got jenkins running but I've been wanting to play with gitlab CI/CD too.
I do a lot of my dev work in docker containers, simply so I'm in a clean environment. Doesn't hurt in ease of backup either. No particular reason not to use docker, I also wanted to keep it kind of brief and simple. The guide I originally read that inspired me had a lot of things that were very outdated, and as I worked through getting it working on debian 12 I generally stuck with the source providers instructions when things weren't already packaged for dpkg, or alternatives were more complex.
I am currently mulling around doing extensions on this guide and adding links at the bottom, or just extending this one a bit. Also just thinking about writing a guide for other stuff too. I've been helping people on discord and irc a bit recently and some of what I know might be useful to someone.
I don't know everything by any means far from it, but I've been around since my first beOS and slackware installs a long time ago and I've picked up a lot. I worked developing and deploying pfsense images for a company years ago and have just had a lot of random experience in linux and bsds over the years.
I'd love to see more on something like Envoy as the reverse proxy. I tend to think of reverse proxies in "generations":
- Apache and Friends
- Nginx and Buddies
- HAProxy and Pals
- Envoy and Associates
I'm rather familiar with 0-2 from my previous work. It's really a pity, to me, that nginx is favored so heavily over HAProxy as in all perf and HA testing that I've done has resulted in nginx being left in the dust. The benchmarks that I've seen for Envoy show similar standings. I just haven't spent the time yet to get familiar with it.

Grocy has a recipe feature, it can even recommend you recipes based on what you have in your fridge: grocy.info/#recipe-details It can run on your server or you can use it a standalone desktop app. It's a full systems to manage your fridge, e.g. it notifies you if something will expire soon.
But I think four use case any wiki or note manager software would be enough. You can hyperlink there ingredients for example.
These are self hosted, but you can use your desktop as a server, and a lot of them works completely offline:

Any idea how many people are contributing to the recipe inventory actively?
I would love to see lots of forks and sharing where folks contribute their own variation of recipes.
Edit: Oh, I see, it's a tool for managing recipes and other stuff. I was hoping to find a git repo of recipes to which folks were actively contributing.
No recipe inventory, you should write your own.
It wasn't clear from your post if you are looking for actual reciepes or a software managing them.
If the former, than I see why your search queries yield no results. "Open source" usually associated with software, open written works usally ha ve some kind creative commons license. Search for that instead
