Woah federation would be huge!
Someday I would love to be able to share and receive shared photos / albums to and from users on different servers. Especially if it lets me sync the original files so that I can keep a copy in case their server goes down. It would also be neat if you could enable activitypub so that your account could show up as a fediverse user that people can follow for public or approved follower only posts, pixelfed compatibility would be super cool.

I’m surprised this doesn’t mention far UV-C excimer lamps like the ones Naomi Wu has produced, which are 222nm and skin/eye safe at distance beyond a few cm. Big Clive also did a teardown and talked about how they’re much safer, and only now becoming more affordable partially due to Naomi’s work.

Unironically why I switched my parents to Linux - they don’t touch any important settings so usually the only problems are when they get a new popup / prompt they’ve never seen, which ofc happens a lot more on windows especially when they decide to push some new thing or decide that they want to convince people to enable something new or change a setting that they want people to use.
I also love that if they call me I can just ssh in over tailscale and do whatever needs doing.

Edit: I can’t read apparently
Did my part and left a 1 star review. Although I’m on lineage I’m blocked as well. I plan on moving to graphene so this is not great to hear. I even switched banks because of these shenanigans.
100%, I’ve been torrenting for my whole life and seriously running Plex/jellyfin for a decade now and only paying $5/Mo for mullvad and don’t have to worry about what service stuff is on - I just get it all.
I recently decided to supercharge my arrstack setup with Usenet (better availability for older stuff, was able to backfill lots of reality TV that only had dead torrents) and even then, since lots of Usenet providers include a VPN that you can use for torrenting, I’m only paying $7 and change per month.
And most of what I spend reoccurring is paid back by friends I’ve shared with buying me drinks and stuff. Easily worth it.
Seconding immich - I host it for my family which makes sharing vacation photos easy since they all have accounts on my instance that can be shared to / from.
Keep in mind that if you set up raid using zfs or btrfs (idk how it works with other systems but that’s what I’ve used) then you also get scrubs which detect and fix bit rot and unrecoverable read errors. Without that or a similar system, those errors will go undetected and your backup system will backup those corrupted files as well.
Personally one of the main reasons I used zfs and now btrfs with redundancy is to protect irreplaceable files (family memories and stuff) from those kinds of errors, as I used to just keep stuff on a hard drive until I discovered loads of my irreplaceable vacation photos to be corrupted, including the backups which backed up the corruption.
If your files can be reacquired, then I don’t think it’s a big deal. But if they aren’t, then I think having scrubs or integrity checks with redundancy so that issues can be repaired, as well as backups with snapshots to prevent errors or mistakes from messing up your backups, is a necessity. But it just depends on how much you value your files.
Ah, I didn’t gather that you were implying that they were doing a partial enforcement so I was confused.
I don’t have strong opinions about BlueSky (I have an account, I prefer activitypub but it’s whatever), but to me I will view it as centralized until someone who is not BlueSky runs a second relay server that is federated with the BlueSky run one.
And based on the writings of one of the creators of activitypub, Christine Lemmer-Webber, there are some hurdles to that happening: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
They don’t appear to be labeling in both the display name and bio, just the bio, so aren’t they breaking the rule?
Could be that too, but it would have to be still based on either the author using the word “looked” or mentioning using the browser console because that’s the only information they could be going off of, which is all I was saying.
From my perspective, plenty of people are pointing it out. One of the authors of activitypub Christine Lemmer-Webber talked about it in depth in a blog post: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
So it’s basically as federated as a fediverse server with federation turned off lmao
Wouldn’t that only work if your neighbors tv was plugged into Ethernet so that the wifi chip can be free to start a hotspot? I can’t find any info about that so I’m not sure.
I once had someone open an issue in my side project repo who asked about a major release bump and whether it meant there were any breaking changes or major changes and I was just like idk I just thought I added enough and felt like bumping the major version ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
