I don't follow, sorry. In the meantime I put up an instance. Check out https://freebay.giftedmc.com/

The project is pretty small but I'm fairly confident it will grow.

I'll test it for some time and thing about pro's and cons of working with this project instead of forking or building something new.

Keep your rhetoric. Neither did you show issues nor are there any other folks who were called naysayers because except you, most people were just constructive. Its not hard to do, try it some time.

But now get off of my feed. Byee

See! I fully agree on the social aspects of your ideals. I would like to give my opinion on your points. Please read them as ideas, not a form of diminishing your thoughts.

Yeah we all have to work (or contribute to society by our possible means) that's a given I think.

Actually, i dont think we do. We produce a lot more than we need (food for 10 billion people) and a lot of crap that only fuels consumerism. Not saying there is an alternative yet but maybe we can agree on "some people definitely need to work for us to survive and thrive."

No ultra rich people

Fully agree

(but you need to dream, so no communist pay either).

But do we? Or is it just a concept we use to keep the current situation going? Would we not dream if we just had the same?

UBI that covers basic food & housing. Art and science as the goal of society (after taking care of everyone).

100% agree

The problem is what to do with all egomaniacs, is there enough benevolent people or will nobody become a dentist if you don't need to work (that much)?

would you rather do an easier job that one you have passion and skills for if they were paid the same? I agree that moving trash or working in the sewers should potentially be paid extra. I think currently, education being expensive, doctors are kept scarce. Make it free and watch.

I mean lots of people get up in the morning and spends their whole life working, because of some crazy angry people (don't believe me? Go work in some big companies).

I have. Huge companies are cancer. Nothing more.

How do we re-train those people, how do we keep an army? Lots and lots of open ended questions here

from the bottom up, as always. We vote as left as possible (those who still can). We demand UBI, free education, free public transport, fair taxes, free healthcare, etc. We build communities (currently underway) to subvert oppressive systems with mutual support groups, etc.

Again, this is just my personal opinion so please disagree wildly if you wish. Just try to stay constructive.

No, they are not.

Instances have websites but the bulk of the fediverse is done on a completely different layer, even a different port.

Fediverse instances are clusters of microservices. They usually include a database, a frontend and a backend. The backend is where the api is and where federation requests come in and go out. Thats where the magic happens.

If you want to test this, just disable the webserver (frontend) and watch the instance still working. You can also see this working when you look at the different frontends of some bigger lemmy instances for example.

I think the notion that certain traits are normalized or even praised is spot on.

I just finished rings of power and the picture of sauron as the great deceiver who even deceives himself at times is harrowing. I have been very successful in business and met people just like him. The higher i got the more obvious.

People who lie without any change in tone or rhythm, who are incredibly fast and enthusiastic explaining away your absolutely spot on criticisms and fears without as much as breaking a sweat.

These people also have been incredibly unreliable, never due to their own fault of course. They just swish away any competition by any means necessary. And they are impulsive as hell. They just lose it if you dont comply.

On one hand, I really sympathize with people who suffer from the condition i just described traits of. It is impossible for me to say how to act on this without massive discrimination against people with this condition although I see dire need to exclude these traits from any positions of power.

Because if they run unrestrained and even praised, this is how you get genocidal maniacs as rulers of countries. Its these people at the root of every major downfall of our society.

Massive fraud and banking collapse: these traits. Building software to supercharge rents to efficiently drain the public: these traits, it is everywhere.

I subscribed. Thanks for making it. I'll come back once the voting chaos in my country dies down.

I used woocommerce in the past. Its not that complicated. Woocommerce is open source from what I read: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/woocommerce-review/ i would have to check the source but implementing federation would be quite trivial i guess.

Why bother federating:

You advertise for your partners, not competitors. This is done already but manually by reselling. This would just expedite the process. The only part that is not yet clear to me is if the shop advertises something from another shop and clearly says, only sale processing through website, not fulfillment, if that would also make it that the legal warranty is done by the downstream vendor. Processing returns also is trivial from a technical perspective. Its just the legal one that keeps me guessing atm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No idea. In my opinion the law and computer code are very similar. Its the people working to make and interpret it who bring in variation, for good and bad.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I agree on the need for legilature. I strongly disagree on the scam. You dont have massive csam on peertube either because it has manual federation. Everyone who runs a business knows that its much more important to not get sued than to sell stuff. Big difference between small businesses and large ones btw.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I agree on all points except the last. It is no problem to outlaw something and disrupting fediverse instances is no problem either. With websites that is a whole different ballgame because they are manifold.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

As you said, it exists. You can just clone it from codeberg and run it. Here's an article about it https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/flohmarkt-federated-market/

And another paranoia comment. Please lmk if i should stop:

If I was a mod on world and wanted other instances to slowly burn out. That's probably how I would do it. Not saying thats the case. Just finding the most likely if insane explanation.

 

Hi folks! I'm here with another idea. Let's make an amazon alternative. I know! I know! That was asked for a couple times already but lets discuss some details.

Amazon is basically glorified dropshipping by now. What if we just made federated (not sure if over activitypub would work) ads and sales, powered by fediseer (the "trust" network of the fediverse).

Example 1: So you buy at toms groceries, you trust them. they have experience with tina's hardware store and they trust them. so you can buy both toms and tinas wares on both sites.

Example 2: So for example, I run a small business that sells computers. You run a small business that sells mice and keyboards. I have worked with you before so I mark you as trusted in my local website, which federates with yours, showing your products in my shop. If a customer buys my computer and buys your keyboard on top, my site sends you a buy order with customer address and payment. I get a small fee for my electricity of say 1%.

Can someone try and poke holes in this idea? It feels like this could work!

Have a nice weekend.

I have just unpacked and flashed my new t-deck and I'm very excited! Sadly, i had to use some google drive provided old firmware (2.5) since I can not figure out how to find(, build) and upload the firmware.

Having worked with esp32s in the past, i know of the many different ways to flash them (platform.io, webflashers, esptool, etc) but I'm missing something.

Where is the "fancy ui" actually from and how do you build it? I was just told to clone, build and upload the latest from github. (https://meshtastic.org/docs/development/firmware/build/) but that just flashes the crappy ui which I have no idea how to use.

Very thankful for any help! Thanks!

(alt text: picture shows t-deck with "fancy ui" and a chat of two people sending test messages, indicating that it works)

Hi folks, I'm running a pi4 with rpiOS and had been using rdp to log into my pi that has no peripherals connected. I can still ssh in and I do have physical access but this kinda bothers me.

I know rpi connect is a thing but I'm not too comfortable using another "cloud service" to connect to something on my homenetwork from my homenetwork.

The rdp service does not seem to run anymore and I am unsure how to search for the culprit. I did search for a service resembling rdp on the journal but it doesnt turn up. what could be the correct service name?

Thanks for reading. have a good one.

 

Hello infinitve wisdom of the fediverse!

Delving into the undepths of laptop manufacturers, I have recently found out that very few distinct manufacturers actually exist. A lot of laptops are just rebranded/whitelabeled.

Since I have not found an answer to my newest question on the search engine of my least distrust and I wont ever post on reddit again (which did come in handy for this stuff in the past), I ask you folks.

Captiva, a brand that seems to be sold by a lot of vendors, at least in germany, seems to be a subsidiary of ecom trading (a b2b seller for hardware that I use for work). They use the same chassis as schenker from what I can see.

I heard that some chinese vendor makes these but I think, since we have a more consumer oriented audience here, we might want to make it more transparent so people can make informed decisions instead of doubling the price of their hardware by it going through tons of hands.

P.S.: I took longer to search for a fitting community for this question than I took for writing it. If you know a better place to put this, pleas lmk. Thank you, have a great new year if you celebrate it.

 

VLC as always saves the day. Most recently for me when you want to watch HDR UHD ripped to 1080p. With plex, this becomes a problem you need to buy a plex pass for and more significantly, must have a '16 Intel CPU or newer to be able to remap it while VLC does so in the fly.

Details: In plex, the colors are so washed out it looks like a black and white movie. In VLC, the colors hit you like

Addition: I tried two remedies while packing with handbrake. BT.709 colorspace and a custom one from reddit. Both lead to the movie being so dark that you cant see most of the details.

Conclusion: VLC being open source, we should be able to see what they are doing and copy this behavior. if plex wont do it without payment, this could be huge for jellyfin for example.

Anyone with actual knowledge who can shed light on this?

 

I just looked at a game that is 60€ and said "I dont think its worth that and would buy now for 30, just to check it out". Then I had the idea that some publishers/devs might benefit from knowing that 1-100000 people think that the game is worth X and would buy now for that price right now. In a case like today, the additional revenue would help their financial report etc. They could make short discounts to get especially these customers or even more tailored, you need to press "buy" and confirm at that price to let the publisher know. Like suggest price on ebay.

Let me know your thoughts and if this is a terrible idea. :)

Finally! After weeks of work, I have successfully booted postmarketOS on both of those devices. This should hopefully make the adoption of both, RISC-V and PostmarketOS easier.

Hi there! I'm still trying to build alternative OSs on the DC-ROMA PAD II and I have successfully built spacemit's u-boot but the board used in the ROMA PAD does not seem to be supported. I asked deepcomputing about it but since people might already have that config somewhere I thought I'd ask.

 

Spacemit advertises their K1 soc as compliant with the RVA22 but this table suggests it might not be: https://mastodon.giftedmc.com/@haui/113372897786006093

What am I missing?
