Wonderful to see good movements forward in the spec!

This is not an official Rust site, as far as I’m aware. Still neat though!

Yeah, I like this. Easy and familiar

Glad to help! :3

Curious to know why you picked lemmy.ml for those subdomains instead of the “project official” joinlemmy.org :)

Kinda late to this, but yeah I use one very simple and undistracting background I found on simpledesktops.com:

It is a way to make some income out of an open-source project. If you want the convenience of their managed server, then you have to pay to access limitless orgs (the way to share secrets), otherwise you’re limited to just a 2-person org. The family pack is quite accessible imo, at $40/y for a 6-person org.
Your other solution is, like I mentioned before, host your own server. vaultwarden supports orgs, like you can see in their feature list: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki

BitWarden is really great and a good example of a successful FLOSS project. I get the overall “companies just want to screw you up”, but one must not get completely blinded by it ;)

BitWarden,¹ it just works really really well everywhere. The app is pretty much the same on every platform (which is a good thing imo) and you also have a CLI in case you prefer (may also be useful in some sort of backup script, I suppose). I personally use the cloud service they provide, but you could very easily and cheaply get a vaultwarden² server up and running and be the total master of your passwords, using a $2.5/m VPS or something like that.

Edit: links
Edit: also, the premium Bitwarden plan doesn’t mean that at all, imo. The plan can be very useful if you really need those features (sidenote: I advise ever using the TOTP thing, that’s just putting all your eggs into one basket and defeating the purpose of 2FA), it’s very cheap ($10/y iirc) and you can always export all your data with the CLI, setup a server and import that data.

Yeah. In the announcement article they also linked a Mozilla donation page just for K9

Yeah, onboarding is definitely a big problem with PeerTube and many other fediverse software.

You have PeerTube, which is the server and client software that allows you to upload, manage and view vídeos, à la YouTube, but whereas “traditional” platforms have just one big instance, the Fediverse platforms have multiple smaller instances that interconnect. You have your generic instances, but you also have more focused ones (specific topics like art, tech, or even for generic content related to a specific country/language). Unfortunately, the PeerTube network isn’t very rich and diverse yet, so restricting your search to very specific things may lead you no instances at all.

Hope this info helps! :3

PeerTube is recommended a lot in open-source circles. It is a video streaming platform that supports peer-to-peer distribution of content and is part of the (APub) Fediverse. The experience is very hit-or-miss though, and highly depends on which instance you pick. Running it yourself is not as trivial as running, say, Lemmy, so it’s not for everybody.

This is really cool to see, great news!
K-9 is a fantastic app already, and with the funding and engineering power from the Thunderbird team, I’m sure it will become the very best email client for Android.

ridiculous compliated

It is as complicated to register on another instance as it is to register on lemmy.ml. Furthermore, as another commenter pointed out, there’s no official instance for Lemmy, as the devs believe that hurts the whole points of federation (and I agree). They do, however, run an instance tuned to their preference, and since it was the first one, it attracted the most users.

I’m running my own instance and it is very easy and nice to use :)

So good. This blog always has amazing posts!

Ireland is a western country, just not very anglophone (though it is more so than most other Europen countries, for example).
Like others have pointed out, if you read and write in English on the Internet, you’re most likely visiting anglophone platforms, thus it is natural to never get to know, let’s say, the Portuguese Internet “culture”, with all its popular websites and quirks. I’d say every country/language has something like this, with varying degrees of richness and popularity of course.
It is true, however, that the USA’s influence on the western Internet “space” is way more significant than any other country’s, which can be attributed to a myriad of reasons, like how they had a big role in its inception and how their economy has evolved to flourish the tech industry.

Exactly what I was going to point out. You might not mind your own smell, but other certainly will, and deodorant can be a good way to mitigate that problem.

Exactly. If batteries are somehow replaceable, then these could be really really neat!

P2P

P2P on Matrix is far from being a basic feature imo

“Content not available in your region”

Great answer. Context, tonality and people’s mood/feelings vary wildly and are fundamental aspects of how someone will take such a thing.
Your last point is key - when unsure (e.g. not talking to a close friend), choose the most polite words.

That’s very nice of you, thanks! :3

ahah, thanks! I’m curious why you picked me though, I barely post, mainly just read/lurk 🙃

"Tabacaria"¹ by Álvaro de Campos (a Fernando Pessoa heteronym). Here’s an English translation.

It’s regarded by many as one of the best poems by him, and it is also a favourite of mine. The original version conveys so much in a brilliant flow of words, which, unfortunately, gets a somewhat lost with translations.

That isn’t true. BitWarden is a very good password manager. Great apps on all platforms (even terminal) with perfect sync.

I’d you don’t trust the main BitWarden.com server, then you can run the official server, or the lighter and community recommended vaultwarden server. It’s tiny, easy to deploy and effective.

Edit: links

Was completely unaware of this, it’s pretty cool!

I just tried it and it’s still a bit wack, but it’s also still just a beta.

Exactly. If it isn’t related I don’t think it makes any sense.

It highly depends on the type of game, but as other said any map that explores the game’s mechanics in a fun a creative way is a good map. It’s a broad description, but it fits all genres. Good puzzle levels are usually very creative in their use of mechanics, multiplayer shooter-likes allow for an interesting diversity in gamestyles and loadouts/classss, etc

Yeah, same. I even run lemmy.pt, but I mostly read. I’ve been trying to correct that, though.

I don’t remember exactly. But i like to search for “alternatives to x” in my search for free software because it leads to that website “alternativeto.net” which has a filter for “opensource” which usually means free software for them, so my guess is one day i decided to search for alternatives to reddit that way and i was so excited about it that i made a lemmy account soon after

This was pretty much my experience, though I also don’t recall it exactly.

I remember making my account, checking a couple of things and then forgetting about it for some months, then I searched for alternatives again (I do this from time to time to see how the “ecosystem” is evolving) and it rekindled my activity. Soon enough I started contributing to the project with translations, suggestions and even a bit of code :)

Thanks for making these themes! <3

This is a really nice update! All these improvements to the API will improve the plugin ecosystem quite a bit

That sounds about it yeah, now that I think of it. I can only reply to issues by getting an email notification, which requires an account.

Would be nice if you’d elaborate in those reasons ;)

I believe you can email an issue, but I’m not sure, may be mixing it with GitLab.

Nice update, good work!

Take a look at the wonderful borg utility and its many wrappers/extensions, maybe one can be of use to you :)

Welcome! Hope you have a nice stay :3

Thanks a lot for this, I’ll be updating right away :D

Free domains (such as .tk) are a bad idea. I recommend getting a cheap domain like a .xyz on a nice registrar. I personally use Porkbun and I’m satisfied with it. Used Namecheap before and while the service at its core is good, it has too much bloat everywhere (UI, emails, etc).

Yeah, it is indeed very simple.
