I assumed without checking that I could switch between two accounts in the Element desktop app on Linux. This turned out to not be the case. However, the Ubuntu Community posted a useful guide detailing several workarounds. I tested the first workaround. Assuming you are using the Element desktop client, open Element with your already-established profile. Then go into the console and run:

element-desktop --profile account2

This will open up a second instance of Element where you can sign into a second account or create a new account. If you want to use your second account, simply launch it from the console using the above command. This is a neat solution. I tip my hat to Ubuntu Community for the very clear and concise guide.

Code archaeology

So, suppose a foolhardy person wanted to see whether the old webpages code is still usable. Suppose he had successfully created app/site/webpages.apd, and installed the app for a test channel.

That leaves one problem: the channel does not have the write_pages permission, and gets a "Permission denied" error.

Is there an admin or command-line tool for granting an arbitrary permission to a channel? Or is this a "hack the database with phpMyAdmin and pray" sort of thing?

in reply to Streams

It should have been much easier to add custom permissions, but I kept getting tripped up by how you "deploy" this new permission to existing users, which I had to do a few times. In real life, adding a new permission usually requires a custom database migration to set it correctly for existing folks.

But it really doesn't matter in this case because permissions are the least of your worries. I've deleted a lot of the original webpage code and spent a few years cleaning up dead code. So there's a lot of stuff that won't work even if you hack the permissions.

If you comment out the 4 lines that exit if you lack permissions, you can get /webpages to return a page (instead of an error), but the only thing it will let you do is import/export webpage archives created by somebody else - and I seriously doubt those functions still work correctly - as they will also need to check your permissions. There's a lot of missing code.

Thanks for that info. It was still worth the time to go through all that stuff, just to learn some things. But I'll take your advice and not try to perform CPR on a fossil.

Tumblr och Fediversum. Tidigare har företaget som äger bloggplattformen och sociala mediesajten Tumblr sagt att de ska anpassa Tumblr till fediversum. Dvs göra det möjligt för Tumblr att kommunicera med protokollet ActivityPub.

How does selfhosting work in China?

I know a lot of my favorite FOSS is from Chinese coders. Wonder how they host and connect locally?



Experience with Yunohost


I was wondering about the pros and cons about self hosting your services via Yunohost. I currently have all my services hosted in docker containers on a Debian homeserver. As I was planning on a fresh install, setting up an Ansible script to simplify backup & restoring and bake in a centralized user management system (currently I annoyingly have separate passwords for each service for my 5 users).

Now I was wondering if I could get some experience reports from Yunohost users. What are the problems you faced? Are you satisfied? Are there so many services you couldn't find that you rather went the selfhosted way and integrate Authelia or a similar service? Any ideas and feedback is welcome that can help make up my mind.

Jag och GG 840 Svanen. En bild från 1958 som visar mig själv på bryggan med GG 840 Svanen bakom mig. Och en bild tagen igår där jag står på samma plats framför GG 840 Svanen. Fast det är en ny brygga av betong som byggdes nån gång på 1960-talet istället för den gamla av trä.
