We are not very tech savy to set things up

I think, in such case, you should rather look for a service hosted for you

For example
https://elest.io/open-source/nextcloud
https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Can we just buy a big hard drive and somehow hook it to our wifi? This is consider self hosted right? Does that mean medias will only get synced when we are within the house’s wifi?

Yes, it’s called a NAS. Correct. Correct

The thread might get locked here under “no support” rule, self-hosting comms will be a better fit

Edit: and if you want to dive into self-hosting, I guess, check out yunohost and LibrePhotos. Immich is also popular one

I’ll just put those here for a sec

Don’t tell that guy

One sec, I’m not sure I fully get what’s happening

browser without VPN

1. VPN off
2. https://blorp.piefed.zip/
3. All is fine

browser with VPN

1. VPN on
2. https://blorp.piefed.zip/
3. ???
   does the page load at all?

app with VPN

1. VPN on
2. Blorp app -> choose instance -> piefed.zip
3. All is fine?

Is that correct?

Voyager - that’s the one that felt cumbersome to me

Blorp - uhhh. I thought it was only an alternative web UI. I’ll try the app out, thanks!
I already see that in inbox there are no notifications from feeds. But the “draft” feature is here

I think it’s not open source. So I’ll wait a bit more

Me too, as PWA

• notifications don’t work for me
• links open in the same window instead of going to the app
  so yt links open yt page instead of NewPipe
• there is no “drafting”
  so if I swipe back when typing a comment, I’ll go back and my WIP comment will be gone
• seeing votes (the up and down popup) is a gamble
• when I expand three dots I’m always afraid I’ll click something when trying to scroll
• in order to share the link I need to open the drawer

I was using apps with Reddit and Lemmy and the experience was much better. But so far AFAIK none of the apps support Piefed features in non-cumbersome way, so I’m waiting until one does

There are some issues with plain browser UI. The way Android (for example) memory is managed it can be flushed even if you switch just for a moment. Touch based input needs a different approach than desktop one, etc. IMO in general apps provide better experience. And when those are open-source, most probably one doesn’t have to worry about snooping, like with the apps created by for-profits

But I don’t think the basic web UI and or PWA is going away. It’s rather that apps are a quite widely shared preference

🤨 just a few days ago - maybe up to two weeks, there was a post somewhere here linking to article that said teachers are noticing positive effects on scores. It might have been Australia, though

For that I use https://f-droid.org/packages/com.akylas.aard2
The slob dumps require a bit of hunting but other than that it works well for me

download his maps from the website manually

If my imagination how that website might look like is right, the guy was totally right

And bonus points: next time they need to download/update them, they can just bring the one-liner back from history, instead of doing all that clicking and waiting and choosing directory again

GUIs have lower entry bar but in the long run TUIs and CLIs are just more user friendly. One only needs to learn a bit beforehand

older people who are so used to using CLIs

I don’t think this is about age. When I was a kid it already was GUIs everywhere. Yet, I’m a CLI/TUI person

Canales son la sola cosa que te falta? Puedes crear un canal con Arcane y luego escribir de Delta (ha probado ahora). Y por seguro se puede seguir un canal con Delta

Las aplicaciones también funcionan

Técnicamente Arcane es Delta Chat. Estas buscando por https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop

Oh, a bit like inheritance in pure C? Where as long as inheriting struct puts the parent struct as first field, you can pass it to functions that use parent struct because the memory layout rules ensure that this part of memory will be exactly the same in both?

It’s kind of refreshing to have self defense as an option when games of this genre usually rely on feeling defenseless to instill terror.

Sorry, I didn’t get it from the description. What would you say is the genre of this game? Doesn’t sound like walking simulator

Also, no hashtags. They won’t break anything, Lemmy simply doesn’t support hashtags

True for Lemmy, but Piefed does support hashtags, and those are essential for Mastodon. So maybe stripping those is not a strict requirement

Also, for testing I guess one could use !playground@piefed.social

I understand. But with how downvotes are sometimes, but often IMO, used - a vote on agree/disagree, in a way that feature becomes “I don’t want to see opinions of people that disagree with me”. It does make it exotic
So the chances that it will be developed and tested is rather low, chances that there will be enough social support for having it is rather low

The problem with that is then instead of having 15 downvotes and two comments with a bunch of upvotes you will end up with 15 (probably less but just to portray my point) comments all saying more or less the same. And since (IIRC) Lemmy does not have notifications one could enable on other comments, you would be discussing the same thing in 15 separate threads because your interlocutors won’t see your responses in the other threads

I mean - without downvotes we have no way of signalling “I don’t agree with this take, this and that comment voice my opinions”

But we don’t have a mechanic for “I’ve seen this and didn’t clap”, other than a downvote
