Peertube Now Has a MAU of 48.9k! in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

i kinda want to upload all my shitposts gallery on PeerTube but i can't even find a single instance that is open for registration lol

As a reminder, ClubsAll is still showing all of Lemmy's content without federating back in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

Let me give you my opinion, specifically as a React developer, if you don't mind.

And let's be clear: I intend this to be a constructive criticism. I hope you understand and don't take it the wrong way.

To be honest, I don't know how good or bad federating one-way is. This is more of a "people" problem rather than a technical problem.

But, to be honest, what I am bothered by, is the fact that the website doesn't give an attribution in the UI about which instance certain users are from and which instance certain certain community are from.

Take a look at this post: https://clubsall.com/posts/theyre-trying-to-charge-luigi-with-terrorism-imagine-that-qfF82

The UI says that the post was posted by u[slash]BytesOnBikes. If I didn't know better, I'd have assumed this was from a user from clubsall. But if you click the username, you realize that the link says u[slash]BytesOnBikes[at]slrpnk.net. I think this would be confusing as a user. What if there is the same user under the username BytesOnBikes from clubsall? At least if you include the instance name, user would know right away that both users are different. But if you didn't include the instance name, I feel like this can be abused to impersonate user. This is a bad thing to happen to your website, don't you agree?

Now that we both understand that lack of attribution is a bad thing to clubsall... What's stopping you from adding an instance name to the username? I'm sure the app has a way to know which instance certain users are from. From what I gather, I feel like this is as easy as appending a string in the code.

I haven't even talked about the community name on the UI. Or the ethicality of misleading attribution.

I know that there are countless amount of movies/games soundtracks with leitmotifs, but other than that I've never found albums with leitmotifs.

I actually liked kbin/mbin. I used it before moving to Lemmy. I just can't code in PHP (and I have had some trauma using it while doing internship)

The things redditors mentioned are very good already. Primarily screenshots. Please, please always add screenshots to let me have a general idea of the UI.

I've read this mentioned many times. Is it really that bad XD

Gonna go out-of-topic from the post but I need this to get this off my chest:

Do you know what prompted me to contribute to PieFed's code?

Recently, a developer of Lemmy straight up posted a link to a website to a China propaganda in a community in my Lemmy instance. Yes, a propaganda.

Tbf, slrpnk.net receives a lot of China-related posts, and that's due to China out-competing other countries in many sectors (EV, for example), and in those post OP usually critical enough to acknowledge that while China achievement is good, the crimes Chinese government has done shouldn't be ignored.

But the post is different. From the domain name, the "About Us" section of the website, the bias in the article. Clearly this was posted with an ill intention. A developer of a platform uses the platform to spread propaganda. Disgusting

I downvoted said post, but I hesitated to call it out. Because, I'm gonna be honest--I'm genuinely scared of interacting with those kind of people. And I don't want to have a deep discussion about politics or propaganda anyway. I'm not that kind of person.

This made me realize, I also don't tell people I use fediverse or don't reach out to other forums to open a community in Lemmy. This is because the fediverse, or at least Lemmy have a bad reputation: tankie.

There is a saying in my country that says "One person ate jackfruit, everyone got the sap". The genocide deniers ate the jackfruit, and everyone got the sap. The genocide deniers ruined fediverse's name and everyone else got the consequence. I don't wanna recommend people to use softwares made by those terrible people, and I doubt most people want to use softwares that has a reputation of being a genocide deniers playgrounds.

Honestly OP from the link in the post (https://feddit.org/post/4920887) kind of made a good point.

At this point, I would prefer just quitting Lemmy altogether.

But I remembered, the fediverse is an open source effort. I use open source software a lot. I feel like I need to give back something. And I have a community that still needed moderating.

And recently I found PieFed that is still in early days but show some great promise. I happen to understand HTMX (I use it in my personal projects) and Python (I learned it way back in junior high). Seems perfect to me, so I contributed one.

Honestly, it feels kinda unfair to me that software made by a genocide deniers gets the funding, meanwhile a software made by a good person (PieFed) has to be a hobby project.

[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know what, disregard my previous comments and try creating the community. I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt.

What I'm kinda worried is the exact same kind of user mention in the post will post on the community. And I also have visited subreddit that calls out bad users in reddit in the past (like r/redditmoment for example) and I kinda don't like it, because to me it's kind of a waste of time. Probably a personal preference.

But if it calls out/exposes bad users in the community, probably good. Probably

Would you mind explaining more about this?

[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

To me, good documentation is the number one thing that makes a selfhostable application good.

I agree. If you don't mind: what are your qualifications for good documentation? Do you have some good examples of good docs?

A lot of stuff tend to end up trying to be too easy and you can’t scale up, or stuff so unbelievably complicated you can’t scale it down.

I see, it's probably good to have some balance between those. Noted

What are the things that makes a selfhostable app/project good? (slrpnk.net)
 

(This is a repost of this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1fbv41n/what_are_the_things_that_makes_a_selfhostable/, I wanna ask this here just in case folks in this community also have some thoughts about it)

What are the things that makes a selfhostable app/project project good? Maybe another way to phrase this question is, what are the things that makes a project easier to self-host?

I have been developing an application that focuses on being easy to selfhost. I have been looking around for existing and already good project such as paperless-ngx, Immich, etc.

From what I gather the most important thing are:

  • Good docs, this is probably the most important. The developer must document how to self-host
  • Less runtime dependency--I'm not sure about this one, but the less it depends on other services the better
  • Optional OIDC--I'm even less sure about this one, and I'm also not sure about implementing this feature on my own app as it's difficult to develop. It seems that after reading this subreddit/community, I concluded that lots of people here prefer to separate identity/user pool and app service. This means running a separate service for authentication and authorization.

What do you think? Another question is, are there any more good project that can be used as a good example of selfhostable app?

Thank you

Some redditors responded on the post:

  • easy to install, try, and configure with sane defaults
  • availabiity of image on dockerhub
  • screenshots
  • good GUI

I also came across this comment from Hacker News lately, and I think about it a lot

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40523806

This is what self-hosted software should be. An app, self-contained, (essentially) a single file with minimal dependencies.

Not something so complex that it requires docker. Not something that requires you to install a separate database. Not something that depends on redis and other external services.

I’ve turned down many self-hosted options due to the complexity of the setup and maintenance.

Do you agree with this?

Drawabox.com's official subreddit (r/ArtFundamentals) deleted their subreddit back in APIPocalypse last year and had decided to archive it in their website (drawabox.com)

If you visit r/ArtFundamentals now, there is a message:

Quote from the mentioned post:

[...] As of June 30th 2023, we have decided to move away from having an official presence on Reddit. Maintaining a presence on any social media platform comes with its risks - whether it's Reddit, Discord, or any other. When a platform demonstrates a lack of regard for its users, its volunteer moderators, and the third party developers that help provide critical accessibility and usability tools, that elevates the level of risk to something more immediate.

What's the latest news about electric planes? (slrpnk.net)
 

Will we even see commercial electric planes in our lifetime?

From what I know, what's stopping it from becoming commercialized(?) is limitation of current generation battery. TBH I'm not an expert on this subject.

Bundaran HI Astra bus stop in a rainy day, Jakarta, Indonesia (2022) (slrpnk.net)

(Let me know if this is inappropriate for the community)

Photo taken by me

This bus stop is one of the major stops in Transjakarta network--arguably the biggest BRT (bus rapid transit) in the world.

On the top of the bus stop there's a commercial area and a viewing deck, where you can see amazing view of Selamat Datang Monument, visible in the photo.

To access the viewing deck and the commerce area, you need to go through the ticket gate. This way you can familiarize and attracts people to use Transjakarta.

If you didn't know, Jakarta is the most populated province in the most populated island in the earth, Java Island. This fact, combined with the very lack of public transportation, making it has one of the worst car traffic in the world. So much so that Indonesia's government decided to move its capital to Nusantara, Borneo Island, to reduce centralization on Java Island.

That doesn't make it Jakarta stop being developed, many people get this part wrong.

Just last year, 2023, Jakarta got another addition of public transportation named LRT Jabodetabek, serving from Central of Jakarta to outskirts of Jakarta--Bekasi and (almost) Bogor. In addition to that, working together with CRRC from China, Indonesia launched Whoosh, the first high-speed railway in the Southeast Asia and in the southern hemisphere, connecting Jakarta to Bandung, another big city in West Java.

There are also many public transportation projects in the work, such as MRT Jakarta phase 2, continuing from Bundaran HI to Kota Tua, Jakarta's old town located in Northern Jakarta. There is also LRT Jakarta phase 1B (not to be confused with LRT Jabodebek, easy mistake to make) connecting the LRT Jakarta to the rest of Jakarta's transportation network. INKA, working together with Nippon Sharyo, I heard is making trainsets for regional railways. CRRC (China) also making another too.

Honestly, as a Jakartan, this gives me a hope to the city. What was once a car-centric city could be city that are friendly for everyone. The roads towards that is gonna be shaky and it's gonna take a while, but in the end it's gonna be worth it.

Thank you for reading, sorry for posting lots of Jakarta in the slrpnk.net--I previously complained that the whole Fediverse feels very centralized on USA. I though I was gonna give a shot on exposing my ~~invisible giant~~ country.

I also made !publictransport@slrpnk.net, feel free to visit and post about the public transportation in your city!
