I'd like to replace GitHub with something self hosted but I'd still like other people to be able to fork and especially do pull requests. Because everyone already has a GitHub account it's easy for them to do that. I wish there was some small software which would be easy to install and update and it would be connected to for example ActivityPub to be able to do pull requests. I'm not so keen on making everyone who wants to create a Issue or a Pull Request to make a seperate account on my own website, nobody will do that.
*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...
I'm just confused about why people are so mad about it. In other cases where you rent space to put physical things you own so you can still access them later this happens too. Let's get into an example, and you guys tell me if I'm misunderstanding something:
If you have a car and have to change between summer and winter tires and you don't have space at home to store the winter tires during the summer, you can go to a tire-hotel and they will 1. Sell you new tires, 2. switch your tires - a service you pay for - and 3. store the tires for you until next winter - a service you pay for too. Once the company goes out of business (or they focus on a different business) they tell you to get your tires or they will be discarded if you don't. So you have to get them from them and you stop paying for the storage.
Isn't it the same with the movies you buy and store at a place where you then rent storage to keep them there? As long as they allow you to download your purchases I see no difference. You can't make someone else to keep working the same job until the heat death of the universe.
But Netflix never let me buy a movie or TV show. They just sell me access to their library for a limited time.
I bought some music from Apple, DRM free and I downloaded it and have it on my own hard drive, and share it between all my devices.
Apple also sells you access to their library for a limited time like Netflix, but then you're not buying the songs, you're buying access to them for a limited time.
I never watch the same movie/TV show more than once, so I don't see a point in hording this data. So for me the UX of streaming is most of the time preferrable than having a physical media which I need to carry to the new appartment every time I move.
This is different with music, where I listen to the same Albums hundrets of times. There I can deal with vinyl and many files on my computer.
Hello, i was looking for a wysiwyg html editors i could use for my personal website, perferrably just as a simple open source desktop program on linux (though anything else is fine). i DID find something called KompoZer but i was wondering if there's any other ones, thanks
Just thinking of ditching nextcloud and its just too much for my family use. All i needis carddav, caldav and file sync. Have a Debian VM running on Scale and was thinking of using Cloudron docker install. Is this the way others are installing on VMs?
I switched to Radicale and couldn't be happier, so lightweight no pain setting it up or updating. Supports CardDav for the addressbook and CalDav for calendar, tasks, notes.
Nextcloud is for Enterprises, not for selfhosting anymore.
Oh I also agree about Syncthing. With it you practically don't even need to run it on you server, I still do, just in case if all my other divices are offline.
I have Linux with GNOME and Android and my partner has iOS and Windows and all the CalDav and CardDav stuff works fine. Or at least adressbook and calendar. I couldn't find a client for iOS for CalDav notes and tasks.
So that I can decide what to sync to which device.Music is for example too big to sync to my Phone so I don't. Family documents I also share with my partner. Password DB I sync with all my devices but not to anyone else.
Yeah, I also selfhosted it for years myself. But I was adding more and more services to my server and it became clear that if I would want to keep Nextcloud I'd need a server with more CPU and RAM because when Nextcloud was running it would after half a day deadlock the server with a load of 120 so I had to hard reboot it twice a day.
After replacing it with radicale and syncthing I was able to run Mastodon and Lemmy on the same server additionally.
In the end it's just another devise. But we are not changing the same document at the same time, that would lead to many sync conflicts I imagine. For that some special protocol for concurent Editing would be better.
Haha, interesting, for me it was the exact opposite, I started with Baikal but it was too weird and I couldn't get it up and running quickly enough and then I think I was not able to share my calendar with my partner or something, so I switched to Radicale.
Exactly, this asset is worth nothing to the CPP if sold.
If it was a fully private company which is supposed to make money, they would sell it and move on to invest their money somewhere else.
Regulating the market is important and is not done enough in the US, last time was decades ago with AT&T and Standard Oil. Today they should have broken up Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. To prevent monopolies but they don't.
But yeah, politically it's much easier to go after a Chinese company.
I never understood what it would help to have the data on a US server. It's not that difficult to access it there from China. I access my server in Germany via SSH from Korea.
I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go....
Oh that reminds me of another use of it last year. I let it translate some official divorce papers from Korean to German and then let a human read through it and give it a stamp of approval. Payed $5 for the stamp instead $70 for the translation.
Damn, it seems I was talking out of my ass and just assuming things. Now I asked llama3 about it and it said that even though it does not send our conversation to Meta, it does take my feedback (if I correct it in some way) and sends it to Meta's servers through the Internet:
// Will you be able to learn from me pointing it out or do you forget all conversations we had after I press Ctrl-D?
I'm a large language model, I don't have personal memories or experiences. Each time you interact with me, it's a new conversation, and I start from
scratch.
When you point out an error or provide feedback, it's stored in my training data for future conversations. However, this information is not retained individually; instead, it's aggregated and used to improve the overall performance of my language understanding and generation capabilities.
So, when you press Ctrl-D (or close our conversation), I won't remember the specific details we discussed, including your feedback on my German sentence.
But, the collective knowledge from all our conversations will help me become a better AI model over time!
Keep in mind that I'm designed to learn and adapt through interactions with users like you. Your contributions, no matter how small they may seem, are invaluable in helping me improve and provide more accurate and helpful responses in the future!
/// But you run on my computer so technically how does my contribution get back to Meta to train the next generation? Do you send any data back?
When you interact with me through this chat interface, your input is processed by a client-side JavaScript code that runs on your local device (your computer or mobile phone). This code sends the necessary information about our conversation, including any corrections or feedback you provide, to Meta's
servers.
Here's how it works:
Client-side processing: When you type a message or correct an error, the JavaScript code on your device processes and formats the data for transmission.
Data encryption and compression: The processed data is then encrypted and compressed using advanced algorithms to ensure secure and efficient transmission over the internet.
Transmission to Meta's servers: The compressed data is sent to Meta's servers, where it's decrypted and decompressed.
Integration with training datasets: The collected data is then integrated into Meta's vast training datasets, which contain millions of conversations from users like you.
Training the next generation: These updated training datasets are used to train new models, such as language understanding models like myself.
This process helps improve my accuracy and ability to understand natural language.
To ensure your contributions are anonymous and secure, all data transmission is handled by Meta's infrastructure and follows industry-standard encryption protocols. Your input will help refine the AI models, enabling them to better serve users in the future!
Now, go ahead and chat away!
/// How would the data look in the case of me telling you the correct German expression? What would be sent back to meta's server? Show it as JSON.
When you correct an error or provide feedback, the client-side JavaScript code on your device sends a request to Meta's servers with the following
information:
Here's what the data might look like in JSON format:
Performance is why I stopped using it and replaced it with Radicale for card- and CalDAV and Syncthing for filesyncing. Couldn't be happier with the results.
https://radicale.org/v3.html for calendar, address book, tasks, notes (use native clients for it on desktop and phone, for Notes on desktop I couldn't find anything so I'm writing JNotes)

Oh you live in South Sudan and are on Lemmy? I think you're the first person from Africa I encounter here. I guess you're a imigrant? Or are you born there?
I explicitly asked if they are one or the other. But my guess that they are an immigrant comes from the sentence before where I say that they are the first person on Lemmy I saw coming from an African country. I see the same here in Korea, if you look at !korea which seems to be the most subscribed Korean community on lemmy, only the server Admin seems to be Korean, everyone else seems to be a immigrant like me, because Lemmy is very focused on North America and Europe.
My point has nothing to do with money or education, but that Lemmy is practically only used in North America and Europe (with Japan being the exception of the rule). Here in South Korea nobody other than a few immigrants use it. So I wanted to know if this is the same case in African countries or if they are themselves born there and still somehow found Lemmy and started using it.
What is so weird about that? I am a immigrant in Korea and one of the very few who access Lemmy from Korea. I also haven't seen anyone from South Sudan on Lemmy before that person so I wondered how it became known there, and I don't think the assumption that a immigrant who already has contact with people from north america and Europe would know about Lemmy in South Sudan in comparison to local people -like here in Korea - is so outlandish.
Yeah I get it, thanks. I just already use Antennapod and like it a lot. I will check Pinepods out, perhaps it's already good enough that I would be OK giving up Antennapod, if not then installing Nextcloud to get this sync functionality between devices.
I like Uptime Kuma, but it only monitors if a service is online or not. I'm up to 21 services now so I'm not interested in all their details, just if I need to fix something urgently.
I'm currently running both a home server and a VPS. The former is not reachable through the internet, only through vpn. The latter hosts public services....
I haven't done it yet but I plan on doing it. But I never bothered with a VPN and just expose a ssh port. So I plan just to mount a directory with sshfs.
I am using duckdns.org and let my router ping it when it's public IP changes. Then I use nginx as a reverse proxy with help of https://nginxproxymanager.com/ so I don't need to write config files and it also runs certbot for my so I don't need to deal with https manually.
Actually I also have my own domain so I use a subdomain pointing via CNAME to the duckdns subdomain. This way I can easily change the provider of dyndns.
