You could try this: https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo

But in general for some quick adhoc file upload classic FTP is still not bad.

Samba on a Linux user meeting? lol 😅

As if interviewers would read the resume before or even be involved in the shortlisting of candidates…

Debian is a good base for a server, but most people don’t bother with a fancy desktop on their server 😅

The machine is probably going to be a bit expensive to run 24/7 due to the old CPU and probably unecessary GPU, but it depends on the electricity prices where you live.

Start with some basic things you actually want to use. It’s not hard and you can figure out most things with some persistence and web searches.

Also included: XMPP account on the same address, but it would be nice if they would keep their Ejabberd a bit more up to date.

Many people like cheap refurbished thinclients, and Intel CPUs 6th gen or newer are not so bad on power consumption.

A RasberryPi has the advantage that you will find a lot of easy to follow guides and if you get a NVMe hat for it to have fast database storage then Nextcloud should be relatively happy (it is a bit bloated these days).

Well, lets see when that actually happens. I am doubtful.

I guess they are being creative on marketing with having implemented a small part of the matrix protocol via their appservice bridge.

The disadvantage is that it is just a bridge like many others and totally dependent on Synapse, which is a resource hog and open-core.

actually implemented the matrix protocol, so it’s interoperable with matrix.

They originally planned this, but realized along the way that the Matrix specs are overly complicated and change at the wim of Element, so they ended up only supporting a link to Synapse via the appservice system, which isn’t great as it means you have to run both Rocketchat and Synapse on the same server for it to work.

It’s random 🤷

I switched to https://github.com/kd2org/karadav from Nextcloud as I can continue using the Nextcloud apps and other WebDAV integrations. Together with https://www.filestash.app/ it makes for a quite nice and lightweight Nextcloud alternative.

XMPP is great. Movim.eu is a nice webclient for it that also does macro-blogging.

Akkoma serves me well for the micro-blogging part of the Fediverse.

I am aware of that and explicitly didn’t write ActivityPub c2s api 🙄

Quite interesting that this functions as an independent AP server instead of using the c2s api like most other bots 👍

You can still manually query accounts, yes. But that is not what I said.

This only applies to old posts. New post will not be send to lemmy.ml anymore.

I agree on the global forum aspect of Twitter being the reason it was exciting for public figures and journalists, but you get waaay more genuine interactions from normal (techy) people on Mastodon. It may feel a bit dead when you start out because there is no algorithm to feed you content, but after a while of using it you get a lot of interesting opinions and feedback on things you post.

The problem is that you are the ideologue but fail to realize that. Capitalism is an ideology and a very harmful one.

As for those investments, lets see, but I don’t expect much to come from those.

You are mixing up two topics here. If someone wants to experiment with a local only algorithmic feed that’s fine, but I can practically guarantee that this will never be enough to convince people to switch from TikTok and the like.

And the other topic is about commercialization. You are the one stuck in the past thinking that is the only way for the Fediverse to succeed. Quite on the contrary, if anyone seriously tried that it would fail quickly and just result in burned investments and a lot of goodwill towards the Fediverse lost.

There is absolutely nothing stopping the personalization algorithms to run on-device or delegated to a separate service from the video feed.

But that is not how the TikTok recommendation algorithm works and doing it locally only would be a very poor substitute most likely, as it seem to also recommend what other people with a similar behavior pattern have liked. And the same algorithm is used to identify suitable targets for advertisers, so the two are basically inseparable.

provided we get to a place Fediverse is relevant enough to attract the attention of some small business, media channels, institutions, etc.

That’s like saying the community garden needs to be relevant enough to attract a seed shop and a fast-food stand etc. And a few weeks later there is no more community garden but rather a strip mall owned by the local oligopolists renting out booths to entrepreneurs. That is just not helpful at all, because it destroys the very foundation of what the Fediverse tries to achieve.
