I also have a travel blog but it's not that exciting.

Test too (⭐️) if you can see this?
@hcs Last year: 1) there was a lot of talk about #Postgres as s very good document store 2) in q&a after my Masto talk people suggested more ActiveRecord insight for such an application. With @kaniini 's permission I would like to present #Pleroma's "everything is JSONB" approach and contrast it with Mastodon's ActiveRecord. I don't think that those core premises will change in few months to come? Worst case the status quo is an interesting lesson already.

or is tox-weechat best maybe?
Has anyone a podcast, book, article, video recommendation for the fundamentals of the IT?
English/ German
I'd appreciate any recommendation.
Mastodon: oriented towards big communities, from what I see in the discourse outreach for diversity in the userbase and dev community is marginal at best, but they do have a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file
Pleroma: oriented towards smaller communities and self-hosters, actively seeking diversification of the project, actively helping marginalized people start their own instances, actively helping marginalized people learn to code in elixir so they can customize their own instances and maybe throw us some patches for inclusion, but doesn't have a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file (we do have expectations that may resemble a code of conduct though)
my point being, that like I said earlier, you either want diversity or not, and it's real action that shows it, not gestures.
also, everytime a marginalized person sets up their own instance, giving themselves complete control over their own experience, the fascists lose. so, yes, Pleroma kills fascism.
Hell, that's basically what I'm using, both fuckonthefirst.date and the xmpp server run off of a $5 vultr box together (and I barely need that..., not even entirely convinced I couldn't run it on the 2.50 one) and the domain name is only a ~$1.80 a year
> make server literally with the goal of making it easy and cheap to host, because i think it empowers people to host their own infrastructure
> 1 year later
> "hey Pleroma could be pretty good for people without many resources, even if the devs are all horrible people"
About to publish a post on how you can use an open source security scanner to attack a resource with HTTP token authentication. :)
i mean, *personally* i would rather spend my time working on making Pleroma a better software, making it possible for more people to use it (thus democratizing access to the fediverse to all, including marginalized people who really need to run their own instance in order to have full control) and encouraging new people to learn programming, using Pleroma as a tool to teach them how to do so.
this is mostly what we do try to spend our time on, but sometimes it is appropriate to make a statement when people ask what our position on something is.
in that case the question was "what is your position on nazis"
so i decided to clarify that position, as well as letting everyone else know my thoughts on all those obnoxious three-letter agencies.
there are also shitty people who run every other software. the authors of those software also probably do not like that situation, but again, they follow the license.
as access to fediverse node hosting becomes more democratized, marginalized people will have more control over their own space. the entire goal behind Pleroma is to enable this.
but there is no technical solution here, other than filtering what comes in. if you don't like what is coming into your space from outside, you can write a config or click some buttons or whatever, and it's gone.
yes it's shitty that somebody has to do this type of work to keep out bad actors, but it's how the network is architected. it's literally like email.
there is nothing that can be done about somebody who is morally reprehensible downloading, installing and using the software to post their vitriol. but, you can block those users and their instances.
at the end of the day, that's just how the network is architected.
Annd now introducing:
https://soteria.mastodon.host !!!
A new instance leveraging the MRF facilities available on Pleroma.
This new instance is hosted as production, at the same level as mastodon.host.
M.H ToS applies, but also more specific ones too ( thanks Awoo for that ).
I will be making heavy use of the Message Rewriting Facility to automate most of the moderation work.
The live chat will be used to report behaviours realtime to the admin.
For a nicer and quieter timeline from time to time, compared to the wild FTL here :)
Guten Morgen. Ich bin aus Australien, jetzt ich gehe Mittagessen..
