I got the email too but can’t install from TestFlight.
If apps are native, I think it makes sense. No one watches short videos from PC.
I will. I was asking from CPU power and price perspective though.
The price seems pretty good. I don't really know much about mini PCs. Do you think there is a better alternative?
Update: ok, not price efficient. Noted 👍
When I decided to try XMPP, I had to do a lot of research to decide which applications I should use for the server and client. I did not experience this in Matrix. And yes, I know Matrix is not stable. I am not against that. It's just easier to get on board.
If we told two people to use these two software independently, they would start using Matrix much more faster than XMPP. I think this is enough to call it uncomplicated.
Also, would you recommend Snikket server (or Prosody) for 1:1, group calls and screen sharing?
I don't want to defend Matrix. I agree that it is not stable and lightweight. However, I believe it is simpler than XMPP. Wanna set up a server? Synapse. Need a client? Element. The default softwares are easy for new users to discover.
Also, the fact that Matrix has a single protocol means that in theory all servers and clients can work with each other (Although I know we are far from that at the moment). It is much better than XMPP's XEPs in terms of simplicity.
It's not that I don't like XMPP. I want a stable, encrypted, federated messaging platform. However, in terms of money and motivation, Matrix seems to be closer to that right now.
Huge!
Ensuring that Unable To Decrypt (UTD) bugs never happen. Huge amounts of work has gone into this over the course of the year, especially via complement-crypto as a comprehensive end-to-end-test suite for both matrix-rust-sdk and matrix-js-sdk based Matrix clients. We are finally at the point where UTDs are so rare that most people simply never see them.
Of course not. There is no limit. I just gave it as an example.
I've been rewriting Lemmy Federate for the last 3 days and finally finished it. While there are no changes on the frontend, many things have changed behind the scenes.
Mbin support
After several requests, I have added Mbin support to Lemmy Federate. It is currently in experimental state. I may improve it in the coming days.
Currently, Lemmy-Mbin connection is off by default. You can enable it by activating the "cross software" option in the instance settings.
how it works?
Since Mbin has OAuth support, the tool creates the client with OAuth instead of creating a bot user directly. Theoretically, you should be able to activate the tool simply by creating a OAuth client from instance settings.
But unfortunately, I couldn't try it enough because I'm not an admin on an Mbin instance.
---
Federation mode option
I added this option for small/single user instances. If you select federation mode as seed only in the instance settings, your instance will not follow other instance communities, but other instances will follow your communities.
Although I am not a fan of this option, I think it will work for instances like under 100 users.
Here’s example settings page:
I still think it will not explode bandwidth and storage, but I can't argue because I don't have any valid evidence :)
The reason I say this is that communities take up a few bytes in the database and if there is no activity (post/comment), they don't use any bandwidth either.
However, I can't say anything about the organic /all tab argument. It's a matter of preference. Kind of funny one.
I need to register on bsky.app to log in. Where is the federation in this?
Then I guess you're really doing everything from scratch. I just tried stable beta and it looks really good. There are some small things, but I guess that's the reason why it's beta :) Yes, I was using it for moderation, but I’m gonna happily wait.
I just realized there are Markdown buttons too :)

I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I want to switch to an Android phone.
First of all, I eliminated all Chinese phones. Since Samsung has limited custom rom support, I gave up on that too. At the end, I decided to get a Pixel because of its GrapheneOS support.
But right now I'm stuck between Pixel 8 and 9. There's a big price difference with small improvements. I can afford both but not sure if Pixel 9 is worth it. What do you think?

Why a user should use your instance where there are other free alternatives though?
Who will keep the money? Who will calculate what users will have to pay? Who will verify that the money is being used for the purpose it was paid for? How will bringing crypto payments to fediverse increase users, considering that 99% of people have never used crypto before? What will happen to the data of users who decide not to pay anymore? Let's assume that all instances offer paid membership; wouldn't monopoly occur if a corporate/suspicious instance offers completely free membership? Wouldn't offering paid memberships hold instance admins legally liable?
Who will leave the mainstream platforms that are completely free and have many more users, and then pay and use a platform that is 1 in 100,000 times the size?
Even though I received a donation of about $10 for 1 year, I think the current system should continue. If money is involved in something, it would be abused.
Money involvement = enshitification
Let fediverse be unprofitable.
nice stuff.

@ptz@dubvee.org I have cleaned these and some other bot accounts from my instance. I was ok to open registrations to this point because we were able to get reports for almost every activity and we could easily manage them. But unfortunately Lemmy does not have a regulatory mechanism for votes, so I'll keep it manual approval until then.
Also it looks like they're manually creating accounts since we had captcha + email approval in our instance from the beginning. So this means that even with manual approvals, a botnet can be created – just in a delayed manner.
Alright. I’ll check this ASAP.
in 2016, an attempt to overthrow Erdogan and his religious-conservative administration was foiled
It was not a secularist coup. It occurred because of Erdogan's disagreements with his former Islamist partner, Fethullah Gülen.
I tried SD once and it was pretty good. It was a bit difficult, of course. Now I want to try image generation again. Do you still think I should use SD or a different tool?
I prefer simplicity and using the first example but I'd be happy to hear other options. Here's a few examples:
http HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint { "message": "Unauthorized access" }
http HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint Unauthorized access (no json)
http HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint { "error": "Unauthorized access" }
http HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint { "code": "UNAUTHORIZED", "message": "Unauthorized access", }
http HTTP/1.1 200 (🤡) POST /endpoint { "error": true, "message": "Unauthorized access", }
http HTTP/1.1 403 POST /endpoint { "status": 403, "code": "UNAUTHORIZED", "message": "Unauthorized access", }
Or your own example.
Hi. I’d like to inform P.D admins that Lemmy Federate integration is not working for P.D because Fediseer preferences.
P.D is using “don’t follow censured instances” option in Lemmy Federate while blocking 3rd parties on Fediseer. So Lemmy Federate can’t fetch P.D’s censure list.
So please either:
- Disable Fediseer usage in Lemmy Federate
- Grant access of censure list to 3rd parties in Fediseer
I have a 32:9 screen and I want to play CS2 in middle, 16:9 way. I couldn't do it natively and tried Gamescope.
While Gamescope works as I would like, the mouse is doesn't work properly. As you can see from the video, game is centered but mouse is aligned to right of the screen. The params I'm using are;
gamemoderun gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 240 --force-grab-cursor -S integer -- %command% -fullscreen
Any recommendations?
I've heard many of them. For example: rolldown, rspack, swc, oxc, esbuild, parcel, vite etc.
I can currently use JS projects without these tools. What extra do they add? Why should I use them instead of simply using tsc?
Though I must admit I like vite simplicity in front-end.
We have been under troll attack for a while now. For this reason, I am giving up on the open registration policy for a while.
I will also add a rule for extremist users. Even though I care about freedom, I don't like moderation duties very much :) These users must find a new instance that matches their identity.
We’re also looking for an admin who can volunteer to moderate. They should be someone who has spent a few months in our instance, has a clean moderation history, and is active. In short, they must be someone we can trust. @QuazarOmega@lemy.lol and I are busy these days :)
I currently use Cloudflare's DNS with disabled proxy and I want to ditch Cloudflare completely now (for known reasons).
I found the desec.io service and it’s looking pretty good to me. What are your thoughts about this site? Would you recommend it? Any other recommendations?
Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?
I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.
So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?
I will upgrade the Lemmy version to 0.19.4 on Sunday 10:00 UTC. Therefore, we’ll experience about 1 hour downtime.
Normally, I do not announce these version upgrades, but since the database will also be upgraded and migrated, down time may increase in case of a problem.

I'm using EndeavourOS with ext4 file system for daily usage and a dual bootable Windows for gaming. What I want to have right now is getting rid of Windows completely.
When I tried it before, I had to try multiple tweaks for a game and find which one worked on Linux. Therefore, I want to take a snapshot with BTRFS and try it until I find the right configuration.
While I have quite a bit of experience with Linux, I've never used BTRFS. Do you think it's worth it?
I thought about keeping the games on the ext4 system, but I hate splitting the disk. I'm thinking of keeping the games in a non-snapshot volume.
UPDATE: I just re-installed EndeavourOS with BTRFS + snapper + BTRFS Assistant :)

I'm tired of removing spam posts from these two communities for the last 2 months. With the decision we made with Quazar; We're removing these two communities until Kbin's moderation improves.
There is almost no real human post, so I don't think we'll lose much. You can see the situation in home instance: https://kbin.social/m/opensource https://kbin.social/m/fediverse
Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.
We're having some issues sending emails (thanks to Amazon). Therefore, I manually accepted the existing email verifications and moved to manual verification for the registrations for now.
Also, I am proud to celebrate that we have exceeded the 500th number of users 🥳
Lemmy Federate is a tool to federate new communities in the Lemmyverse.
cross-posted from: https://lemy.lol/post/19638968
I would like to introduce you to the tool I have developed in last 2 days.
As you know, when you create a new community on Lemmy, it is initially only available to your instance until users in other instances follows too. To fix this, this tool automatically follows the community from remote instances.
I have previously published a similar but simpler version at boost.lemy.lol and now I remade it because I didn't like some of its features. This time, instance admins will be able to strictly choose which instances they will allow or not. I'm open to your suggestions about different settings.
Please ask your instance admin to add their instance to this tool. To add it as an admin, all you have to do is log in and activate it from the settings.

Here's some tasks I'll implement in the future: https://github.com/ismailkarsli/lemmy-federate/issues
