Let's see... Just today, in their presentation for the next patch, a child character got a new outfit, and a teaser that the next archon (god) is a kid - again. xD

I sometimes wonder wtf they're doing, ngl...

 

I just wanted to update to the latest version, and noticed that there does not seem to be a tag for 0.17.4.

Any particular reason or should I use a specific tag in my docker-compose.yml instead?

Thanks!

dass Admins im Fediverse zunehmend meinen, ihre Nutzer vor bösen anderen Instanzen abschirmen zu müssen.

Das Fediverse ist im Grunde erstmal eine Umverteilung des Vertrauens; anstatt Twitter/Reddit vertraust du den Instanzinhaber von Mastodon/Lemmy. Was der im endeffekt macht kann er selbst entscheiden.

Aber; du kannst dir einfach nen Account auf nem anderen Server anlegen und den Communities folgen! Niemand sagt, dass du auf einer Instanz festhängst. :)

This is quite neat. Been using DaddyLive to watch Bundesliga with Kodi, wrapped in some random extension... Rising Tides, I think it was?

No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)

...and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet "used to" work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.

Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^

Spent a while there now. Yep, its Bitcoin, everywhere.

Though if you doomscroll long enough (heh), you MIGHT find someone worth following and reading. ...might.

 

I have spent a good amount of time gawking at Nostr and the posts going on there - with all the zapping and whatnot. Think they just hit a millionth zap or something?

Anyway. Whenever I hear people talk about crypto, I just walk away. Because so far, whenever I read an article about the usecases of Bitcoin or anyothercoin, it is filled with "[could] be used for". But "could" is not "can".

So, I would like to ask here: How do I buy a Cola with bitcoin?

Imagine that all I have is an Android phone, a few Euros in my bank and an absolute thirst - right now. What do I do to pay with Bitcoin to buy me that Cola?

(I know the described situation is a little extreme. Basically, I want to know the fastest, most "convenient" way it is done. Not could - but can.)

...and still won't pay a coffee! :D

I'd chirp you a yes. Though, more for fun than anything, I have been called a "featherly" before x)

Also - if you wonder what my species is, it's in the name and avatar ^v^

Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.

Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)

Was thinking the same - this looks like a prime usecase for IPFS, honestly.

 

The past few days, I have been heavily experimenting with Nostr as another alternative to centralized services. And, I am honestly impressed by just how good it is. The protocol is quite simple and works very fast.

However, the almost constant bugging of the integration with idontcarecoins is a little annoying. Easy to ignore, but still always there.

What do you think about Nostr? Have you tried it?

Honestly, the interesting tidbits you learn as you dig yourself into that rabbit hole is actually quite intriguing and fun. So yeah - I'd say it is also quite "fun" for the process itself!

 

I just finished setting up my instance and so far, it works quite well. But I have noticed, whilst observing the logs, that activity trickles in rather slowly, although I have a very good uplink - my VPS is situated with Hetzner, and, as far as their marketing speak goes, I should have a rough 20gbit. I don't quite buy it, but it should be plenty fast for communicating. Also, 4-core arm64 box.

I saw that there are admin settings that can be done. Got any recommendations on how to improve my Lemmy's performance?

Thanks a lot!
