Could be...but at one point he said he wants to create his own Mastodon instance and move there. He needs no character limit. The Twitter style with a lot of replies to your post, is confusing to me. Difficult to follow... 😛

Some Friendica logo designs...I'll try more ideas, just because... 😀 @hypolite @tobias @heluecht I see the main Friendica website is build in Wordpress. I'm doing webdesign for the past 15 or so years and I may be able to help make the website a bit more "modern" and "catchy" if you allow me to help you. Here's some of my work https://www.tiotrom.com/projects/ The website is very nice, don't get me wrong, but I was thinking to showcase what friendica is. with more photos and gifs and other cool stuff 😀.

I can make the design on top of your template and send you the designs + the CSS code that may be needed to implement it? You could also create a dev website and give me access to it, or I can clone your website on my own server and show you my ideas and how to implement them on your side. Who is managing the website at the moment?

https://invidious.xyz https://invidious.kavin.rocks Work the best as far as I tested, and I test them kinda daily. Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/ - if you use android install Blokada. For iOS....well....good luck with that...I don't know why people lock themselves up with iOS products but well...

Testing some Wordpress and ActivityPub stuff. Meaning, to connect our WP websites with the Fediverse. So far so great. Soon I'll share with you all the federated links for our websites so you can follow them from Mastodon, Friendica and the like. And you'll get our posts + you can comment on them and we receive the comments on the WP blog. How cool! 😁 #tromlive

So I enabled ActivityPub and set it up for https://www.tiotrom.com/follow/ , https://www.videoneat.com/follow/ , https://www.tromjaro.com/follow/ , https://www.trade-free.org/directory/follow/ which is super cool. I'll make a blog post tomorrow to explain how I did it and why this is so bloody cool. #tromlive

Friendica is like Facebook but a lot better. Here are the best parts about it:1. Federated: communicates with pretty much all of the federated networks. Mastodon, Hubzilla, Pleroma, PixelFed, and so forth.2. You can connect with your Twitter so you can follow people on Twitter and engage with them. This way you get away from using Twitter directly. It can also post directly to Twitter. So say you post something on Friendica, it can also go on your Twitter.3. You can follow RSS sources - so you can stay up to day with news websites directly from Friendica.4. You can compose huge messages/posts, with inline videos and images and you can format the text.5. You can create forums, groups and more.Friendica is the best federated social platform I could fine.

haha, I am blocked by Facebook yet again...a few weeks ago they banned me for 1 day for posting a meme about "not following the herd", like "think for yourself" kind of thing. Nothing violent or nude, the two things fb doesn't like. Now they banned me for 3 days for posting a link to a video of ours entitled: 06. Michio Kaku - Born Scientists. A video about how to think like a scientist....I mean...it is perhaps the most friendly video we have haha, and so innocent. FB banned me a couple of times in the past too, for similar reasons and I tried to dispute the claim and all that. Now you can't even do that. You have 0 options. Not that I care, but just saying...See...this is the problem of "managed" social networks. FB and the like, are so big and rely on ads and huge profits, that they will chop heads left and right so that they keep their platforms "clean" for their "ad-partners". And you can get kicked off any day, for any reason, since they have automated systems to detect content and if they label your innocent content as bad, since they are so big and you can't contact them, then you are a collateral damage. And they are fine with that. Youtube banned so many of our videos it made it impossible to rely on it anymore. Any day now, they can completely shut down our entire Google account like they did a few years ago for months.Internet censorship is really awful since it is the place most people spend a lot of time on. And I rely a lot on this Internet so I need a place where I can voice my views and post my content, without always being in fear of being kicked out and lose all of my work. I chose to move from Facebook to Friendica since Friendica is a lot better in so many regards. I don't fear that Friendica will be like FB, but I do fear "managed" social networks. Who knows, maybe I'll post something too "radical" for Friendica and they will ban me too. They have this power. I can move to another instance, and that's great, but not super convenient. So I am not 100% relaxed on Friendica or any other similar social network.I moved from YTB to PeerTube, and there too is a lot better, yet I am concerned that they can kick me out any day they want....it is more unlikely than youtube, but can happen.The solution I'd say, it is something like https://scuttlebutt.nz/ - a social network that it really is trade-free, in the sense that you connect directly with people from your own computer. No middle man like it is on FB or Friendica. No one can kick you out of this network. They think about implementing a sort of "reputation" inside the network, so that if many people block you, then the network will kinda ignore you, however if you follow me there and I follow you, you can always see my posts and interact with me. I am testing scuttlebutt these days to see how it is and I plan to make a podcast with the people behind it. So far I love it, but I don't plan to move there any time soon. Friendica is still a great place, but as I said, I really hate that there is someone watching over my thoughts and can decide if I am able to express my thoughts or not.The future of social networks and websites, should be distributed p2p, with no one in control. Connect directly with people.I moved from centralized servers like fb, twitter or ytb, to decentralized servers like friendica or peertube. My next move, in the future, will be to move to no servers. That's when I'll feel free to speak my mind. ;) #tromlive

Why don't you use Yunohost? Makes installing hundreds of applications, like Friendica, Mastdodon, Pleroma and so forth, one click. Plus backups and all tnat managed via a panel. That's how we want to release a suite of apps like friendica, peertube, nextcloud, cryptpad and more...so far, from our tests, everything works stellar.

I understand and it is good to know these limitations. However, YNH makes it so easy that allows some like us, who otherwise won't, to provide a suite of free services for everyone. Outdated software for some services, may be better than none. But I understand your point for sure.

Does anyone know how to properly setup CORS with partial content loading on nginx @amolith @snopyta @alfred @heluecht ? Tagged some people in the hopes to get some help 😁 .more_set_headers "Access-Control-Allow-Origin https://www.tromsite.com";Works but does not have partial content loading.Tried: more_set_headers "Access-Control-Allow-Headers range"; more_set_headers "Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS"; more_set_headers "Accept-Ranges bytes"; more_set_headers "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true";Still didn't work. We had it working with htaccess for apache with:RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} OPTIONSRewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [R=200,L]+SetEnvIf Origin "^http(s)?://(.+\.)?(tromsite\.com|tromsite\.de)$" origin_is=$0 Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin %{origin_is}e env=origin_isHeader always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "range" Header always set Access-Control-Expose-Headers: "Accept-Ranges, Content-Encoding, Content-Length, Content-Range"Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "POST, GET, OPTIONS"Header always set Accept-Ranges "bytes"Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "true"

@heluecht since you run probably the largest Friendica node, how much computer power it takes to run? CPU, RAM, Disk space? We are going to release our own Friendica node to get more people to use it, so we were wondering 😀

hm ok I see about squeet.me so probably they are the biggest. So how much RAM out of those 32GB is your Friendica eating? Also, wow 78GB database? Is that because you store the files in database?

Out of curiosity, pirati.ca how hungry is it? How many users vs how much RAM and disk space does it take?

Yes we will have full backups daily, and keep them for a few weeks at least. For now in just 1 location, but if we get enough financial support we will add another location.

Maybe we should ask them why @snopyta @amolith @disroot 😀 - do you guys think it is not safe to provide a password manager like bitwarden as a service?

True. This is why I am asking you people ;). We will then rethink about it, and if we do it we will wan people about all of this.
