Goofed Home

First, I’d like to thank you all for keeping the wetshaving fediverse active with interesting and delightful content! We are approaching the 1000th daily SOTD thread since the inception of the wetshaving Lemmy, and during those 1000 days a lot has changed!

Scrolling through this post it’s evident that most of our users have switched to PieFed. In observing this trend, I believe it’s an acceptable time to switch things up.

What do I need to do?

Ensure that you are subscribed to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing. You can still use Lemmy of course, as the activity will federate.

::: spoiler Hint for PieFed users If you’re using PieFed, there’s also a Topic that I’ve built available here. A topic is a group of related communities. You can’t edit Topics, but you can use the topic to create your own “Feed” of wetshaving stuff. Just thought I’d mention the option. :::

What will change?

Daily SOTD threads will begin to be posted to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing in the coming days. !wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social will continue to exist.

Free Talk Friday posts will begin to be posted to !wetshaving@wetshav.ing in the coming days.

When will it happen?

Just as soon as I sit down and make the changes. Ideally you won’t even notice since federation is slick and refined at this point. I will make a sticky post on !wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social directing people towards !wetshaving@wetshav.ing when it’s done.

Don’t like it? Sound off in the comments!

Did I miss something? Any big downsides that I haven’t considered? Let me know below!

Working on my end. I can see these comments both on Lemmy and PieFed .

it’s not letting me post on the piefed server. I can see wetshav.ing, can see posts thrre, can like posts, just can’t comment at the moment.

like can i send a dm to someone and talk to them here?

Made me curious, are there any lemmy instances with embedded matrix protocol? Does it even work like that?

It’s a different protocol altogether so unless someone went out of their way to build a bridge between Lemmy and Matrix, probably not.

On Mastodon’s new Share button, and protocol ownership.

An unusually clear explanatory article. This problem needs fixing. As a layperson it looks to me like the “discussion” mentioned needs to crystallize into a proper meeting of all stakeholders so as to get a binding decision about how to fix it.

One problem with the whole C2S thing is you can easily end up in the Matrix/XMPP situation where some clients and servers implement some smattering of standards and it just becomes confusing to navigate and use.

This is approximately the situation in the fediverse today, with Mastodon in the role of Gmail. The difference is that email has IMAP and SMTP, client protocols that are not only standardized but universally adopted. Every email server implements them and every email client expects them.

Online Romance Scam Warning 💔

It often starts with a friend request or message on Facebook, Instagram, or Threads.

They ask if you’re single, ask about your family, even check if you’ve eaten. Soon, they say everything you want to hear—and may even talk about marriage.

Then comes the red flag 🚩

They try to move the conversation to private apps like Telegram, Google Chat, or Skype. They share sad stories and eventually ask for money.

Remember:

They don’t love you — they want what you have.

✅ Block them

✅ Report them

✅ Hold your head high and smile

Your kindness is your strength. Stay smart. Stay safe. ❤️ Report

It’s high time we teach them a lesson

maintenant looks interesting 🤔

Zero-config auto-discovery for Docker and Kubernetes. Every container is tracked the moment it starts — state changes, health checks, restart loops, log streaming with stdout/stderr demux. Compose projects are auto-grouped. Kubernetes workloads (Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets) are first-class citizens.

config based on labels. sounds good for a moving selfhosting world…

I still haven’t found a Google Drive replacement. Nextcloud is way too bloated. Seafile is way too complicated to install.

I need multi-user support, so other apps where they just serve a folder from my server don’t really cut it either.

I don’t want to sync files at all. I want files to only be on the server, accessible via web interface. Like Google Drive.

Maybe look onto OwnCloud. That’s the project NextCloud was forked from many years ago. It’s very much still around and had a very different philosophy, a much more minimalistic approach with focus on stability. That’s actually the reason the people behind NextCloud had to fork it, cause all their additional features (bloat) wasn’t accepted upstream.

Spaceforce was also a flop. He needs to stop signing on for shit projects.

😂 - agreed, he thrives on improvised scenarios

“Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future” is a new report from Forbrukerrådet. The report itself is a light read: it’s in English, and while it is 100 pages long [PDF], it is in fact enjoyable and even amusing – we laughed quite a few times when reading it. For one thing, it contains a surprising number of puns and the occasional starred-out swearword, such as “Do androids dream of electric s***.” A stodgy bureaucratic report this is not.

Just to start off, know that I have zero experience with this. I’m only looking into doing this because I’m absolutely sick and tired of centralised services (in this case Discord) turning to shit, and want to start a Discord-like/alternative federation between my friends.

Prosody seems to be the easiest to set up, and has all the available capabilities for a server that allows Discord-like functionality (text, group voicecall, streaming). Movim is the client that makes use of all that.

But I don’t have a clue how to set up a Prosody server with Podman. I’ve never done this before. I started by downloading the Prosody image through Podman, then tried running it, which prompted the creation of a container. Kept everything at the defaults and tried running it, but it didn’t work.

What do I do from here?

I mean, difficulty is relative mate. I just said I couldn’t get Snikket working (after multiple tries, too) but I’ve spun up both matrix servers. So I’d personally say it’s harder.

I’d be interested in seeing that, or at least knowing which ejabberd container you chose and why.
