tuckerm@feddit.onlineto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a quick way to know which instance might need mods?English7·2 days agoI’m wondering if the fediverse in general (but especially Lemmy) would benefit from some kind of “fediverse help wanted” board for moderators, donations, technical help, etc.
edit: People who run a Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed/etc instance might be hanging out in the Matrix chat room for the software they are running; that might already serve this purpose.

I’m not sure if you can create a blog with it – it might only be for showcasing your music, no text posts. It definitely looks nice, though.
One popular way was that Internet Explorer 6 included something called ActiveX, which basically allowed any website to run code on your computer as though it was a locally-installed program. You could just click on some URL and next thing you know it’s writing files to your hard drive. This is one of the main reasons why the Internet Explorer 6 / Windows XP era was particularly virus-filled. A website could open your freaking CD tray.
From the ActiveX wikipedia page:
Developers had to register with Verisign (US$20 per year for individuals, $400 for corporations) and sign a contract, promising not to develop malware.
Promising not to. And they did it anyway. The bastards.
Gotcha. The web UI in wallabag is nice and works pretty well with ereaders. It’s already black-and-white, although it doesn’t have pagination, so you’ll have to scroll.
I’ve been using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It’s the one thing I’m not selfhosting, though – I’ve been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)
You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.
tuckerm@feddit.onlineto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Minio strips away almost all features from AGPL interface and suggests people use their licensed "AIStor" service insteadEnglish35·12 days agoWhen Redis messed with their licensing terms a while ago, I thought to myself, “which project that I rely on will be next?” And I kept thinking it was going to be Minio.
So I switched from Minio to Garage a few months ago and it has worked great. I used the AWS cli to start copying everything over one evening, and when I woke up the next day, it was done. My S3 use is just one giant bucket for my music collection in Funkwhale, so I only had the one command to run. After updating the S3 urls in Funkwhale’s configuration, everything was good to go.
This has all made me start paying closer to attention to what kind of organization is behind the various open source projects that I use. Garage is made by a web development shop in France – they might even be a coop, or I might be thinking of someone else. I could be wrong about that last part. But they’re definitely not a VC-backed operation like Minio.
tuckerm@feddit.onlineto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Minio strips away almost all features from AGPL interface and suggests people use their licensed "AIStor" service insteadEnglish9·12 days agoYeah, a few years ago they advertised themselves as the perfect storage solution for blockchain projects.
I installed Grafana, simply because it was the only one I had heard of, and I figured that becoming familiar with it was probably useful from a professional development standpoint.
It’s definitely massive overkill for my use case, though, and I’m looking to replace it with something else.

Here’s another good one from last week: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/moms-for-liberty-public-schools-christian-education
I think they started during Trump’s first term. (Or, at least that’s when it got noticed.) A lot of people were like, “Wow, they used to print articles about which jeans will get you a prom date!” I guess somebody had to do the job that the NYT won’t do.
tuckerm@feddit.onlineto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Digital Tar Pits - How to Fight Back Against A.I.English3·26 days agoNice. I’ve noticed a few user-agent strings containing “Claude” visiting my blog recently. Was wondering what to do about it.

tuckerm@feddit.onlineOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use for listening to podcasts?English1·1 month agoThat’s a very slick setup, nice.
tuckerm@feddit.onlineOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use for listening to podcasts?English1·1 month agoI’m guessing that most iPhone users just use Apple Podcasts, and Apple themselves probably want it that way. (E.g. less promotion of third-party podcast apps on the app store.)
tuckerm@feddit.onlineOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use for listening to podcasts?English2·1 month agoThat minimalist UI looks very nice.

tuckerm@feddit.onlineOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use for listening to podcasts?English2·1 month agoOh cool, I wasn’t aware of gpodder.net. I actually thought you were talking about the desktop gpodder application, which I had used before. Didn’t realize there was a server-side component to it as well. Thanks!
tuckerm@feddit.onlineOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use for listening to podcasts?English5·1 month agoThanks! Haven’t heard of Audiobookshelf before, and that’s the kind of thing I was looking for.
Same here. Thinking about that class just now, I remembered the name of one of the sites that we were told to use to find GIFs and animated buttons. I think it was called “animation factory.”
Well there is an https://www.animationfactory.com/ and it has exactly the types of GIFs I was thinking of. More classics right there.
