Crowdbucks sounds interesting, but is extremely light on details. How does it work? Are all payments going to go through Stripe? Is it going to support GnuTaler? Crypto maybe? Is it to be integrated into things like Mastodon, Peertube, and other fediverse services?

44·3 months agoThe comparisons you’re making are off base and it feels like you’re mocking something you don’t understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I’d suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec’s intro. It isn’t long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don’t understand.
Git is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).
Git is, but what about everything else? When you clone a project on gitlab or github, does it come with all the issues, discussions, MRs, and so on?
I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth.
That’s what signed commits are for. Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse. Like now, you made a comment on a post on Fediverse@lemmy.world through your instance lemmy.zip. The same would happen with your comments, pull/merge requests, issue reports, and so on. There’s no need for a “central authority”.
“That’s stupid”. Great argument. “This content doesn’t exist on $platform ergo $platform is stupid”. “Be the change you want to see is stupid because it’s stupid!”.
Can’t wait for the content you’re going to contribute to peertube.
Always ready to complain. All these things need to exist in order to gain traction. You need to have content and multiple ways to view it. Complaining that there’s an additional way to view it is just unnecessary negativity.
If you think there isn’t enough content, be the change you want to see: make it.
2·4 months agoI’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
Hail TOR and I2P!
My problem isn’t the hardware, it’s that the place I’m moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.
My problem is that I’m moving in the not so far future and I don’t know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it’ll be worthless due to encryption. But if it’s in somebody’s datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I’d have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.
I’m considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I’m not sure they’d be up for it.
How would you solve the problem?
Hey! Another nixos user 😁 What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?
As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There’s also starlabs byte.
Take your pick :)

Of course I don’t. Maybe I should’ve said “never met anybody obviously like this”. Nobody knows about my political leanings or sexual preferences at work either.
🤣 it hath bean beeholden !
I have yet to meet a furry or trans IT person IRL. Is there just a higher concentration of them across the pond? Or is bullying a bigger issue there maybe?
I don’t think suckless is full of silicon tower elitists glorifying a dead programming language, the joke wasn’t for you.
Or nix. I don’t know what’s worse.
What is this? It jumps in explaining features and details about other stuff, but doesn’t explain the basic goal. There are also no screenshots except of some table. It’s not clear how to use this thing.
Agreed. I wish moderators would ban those people from linux communities and more users would report their elitist behaviour. It’s really annoying to ask a question and get belittled for having the audacity of being ignorant.
I understand these people lack power elsewhere in their lives and want to be powerful where they believe themselves to be experts, but it’s a real pity they express it with a complete lack of empathy. If you don’t want to help, don’t say anything. Let somebody who does want to help nicely do the helping.
Wow, people like you really should be banned from Linux communities for beginners. You’re a detriment to them.
It’ll be safe to host without extra software in front of it to make it read-only
