I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I’m mainly here so that should be rare.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Hosting a single service for the whole fediverse
2·5 days agoAlso I don’t think I’ve seen Pleroma devs in the wild before, and users I also don’t generally see, so going by the premise of what you said, @srasmus@slrpnk.net.
And the fediverse can be quite diverse, and so long as the software licenses are respected, there’s not much devs or external instances can interfere legitimately.

3·5 days agoIf you mean “people that use Pleroma”, it’s not the end of the world. You just need to block or avoid people that flock to a given instance, or do that for the instances themselves.
If you mean the devs, maybe keep an archived fork of the software being used, and use that if they start causing problems that damage the quality of the software, and move to that build while you refactor your instance.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Hosting a single service for the whole fediverse
3·5 days agoIn my case, as I’m mainly on Mbin, when I get to host my own instances (life got in the way when I tried…), I’d probably make, besides the new Mbin instance:
- either a PieFed or RSS Parrot instance for having RSS posts as fediverse posts
- a Peertube instance for videos / audio (?) / shorts
- maybe some Lemmy instance and a Mastodon one for tests
- a NeoDB instance since it’s the most unique type of content not handled by the softwares above

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Hosting a single service for the whole fediverse
7·5 days agoPersonally, I’d pick Mbin, Friendica or PieFed.
I can observe two main types of social media style in the fediverse, microblogging-styled (e.g. Twitter-inspired), or group-styled (e.g. Reddit / BBS-inspired).
The rest’s usually variations of these two, or are interoperable to varying degrees with these main types.
And Mbin, Friendica and PieFed all explicitly try to integrate groups and microblogging, meaning they’d be the more overarching ones.
And sure, one solution always means sacrificing another, so alts may still be needed.
And on Pleroma’s case, it would seem it supports communities but only partially? I wonder if it’s like Mastodon. If so, your feed can become noisy.

Enshittification@slrpnk.net•Want the full manual for using the player of an inherently offline media like LPs? Go online then.
8·7 days ago@Kolanaki@pawb.social plenty of small details not immediately obvious, I grew as the world became digital so I don’t have much experience first hand, and on this economy, I’d rather be careful and not waste what I spent on it. 😅

Japanese Language@sopuli.xyz•Any suggestions for mobile games to learn Japanese?
2·8 days agoMaybe the Learn Japanese to Survive trilogy for vocabulary memorization? They’re PC games but can be played on phone with the likes of JoiPlay, Maldives Player, or running a server with Python to load the index.html file (which works as an executable).

1·8 days ago@pastermil@sh.itjust.works I did try the day I made the post. Windows’ device manager was more helpful because it updated as soon as I plugged or unplugged a device, even confirming something was indeed happening because the list blinked every time it was updated. Thus that allowed me to do it multiple times in a row while watching which entry appeared or disappeared from the list without the need to keep inputting the commands manually.

1·8 days ago@pastermil@sh.itjust.works things were wild these past few days so only now going through the backlog. But on the driver, from a quick search, the CH340 driver is part of the ch341 module, which according to
modinfo ch341on my Mint machine, is already installed. Weird.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Looking for game rec for extended downtime due to illness
2·9 days agoOn the randoms issue, the stress they’d give me in other games is one of the reasons I support the return of self-hosted multiplayer as a prominent option. "<.<

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Looking for game rec for extended downtime due to illness
2·9 days agoBeing a big fan of powerleveling, I’d say trying to do that on Final Fantasy II and XII would count for exploration, both because you can find a lot gradually but consistently simply by exploring past the obvious path. FFI maybe if you consider progressing on the story requires paying attention (and often taking note) of what NPCs say throughout the game.
Starbound also fits nicely on exploration, and Stardew Valley on exploration and a bit of automation.
About your opening paragraph, if it concerns you, there’s !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip as well as other generalist, gaming-oriented communities in the fediverse besides here. There’s also other generalist, gaming-oriented forums outside of the fediverse too if you’d want to broaden your search.

RSS backlog. Been tackling it as means of debloating the amount of stuff I consume online for years (this bloating was worse than I thought "<.<)
Your “crap” drawing has great sense of depth, materials the house/hall would be made of, and of its structure.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Are there any privacy friendly alternates to google translate?
1·14 days agoFull sentence translators? Only ones that come to mind are LibreTranslate, plus if you’d like to try, the instance from Mastodon.Uno’s group since the LibreTranslate dev team’s official instance requires an API key. Also maybe local LLMs if you trust they won’t go rogue and connect to open wifis like LG TVs do, or if you can ensure they won’t escape containment.
Furthermore, if you just need to translate individual words or some times smaller expressions, there’s disc-based translators and dictionaries though they usually require older systems, maybe Google Play ones (specially paid ones) if you keep them in an offline VM with Vanilla Android, QuickDic on F-Droid, etc. For CD and offline dictionaries, I collect them, so I can also comment on specific ones or on specific language combos.

Haven’t tested making posts on PieFed, but will try later.
