I recently discovered NodeBB while looking for Discourse alternatives, and it turns out they just released support for federation (ActivityPub)! What does federation mean in this context? If you set up a NodeBB forum, you can interact with

Wow, this is fantastic! Have to spin up a NodeBB forum soon to check it out.

My elderly family members beg to differ ;) So far, my experience with people above 60 is that they quickly understand how to find and navigate between the apps they use every day. The ones coming from Windows adapt suprisingly fast, and are

I have used OnlyOffice for my collaborative writing needs the last year, and it has been great. They offer a free hosted version, everything is open source and it can be self-hosted. I can invite people in with SSO so they do not need to ma

Check out ente.io, they offer both hosted and self-hosted.

It is much better today, but still not perfect. For relatively simple word processing tasks, it is not a problem anymore. And saving as a pdf is a fine compromise when the receiver doesn't have a need to edit the document.

A lot of people use Microsofts products out of old habit and because they are simply not aware of any alternatives. I have helped alot of people try LibreOffice, which offers everything they need from their office suit. Most people also lik

GNOME? It is super simple. I have used Fedora/GNOME on my elderly family members laptops for many years now, and they just get it. Even the ones who came from Windows 10. The hours I spend on support has dropped significantly. Windows

With "fully federates", do you mean that it can share forum categories and/or posts with other NodeBB servers?

I have had Bonfire [0] on my check-later list for a while, they seem to aim for a more generic use of the AP protocol. They also offer their services [1] to make custom implementations on top of their toolkit. Seems promising! [0] https:&#

Mastodons share of the AP network fell to ~70% the last few days alone, due to a huge influx of users to Pixelfed (fleeing from Instagram). I myself run my own GoToSocial server at home, so I am doing my part to increase the diversity of AP

ActivityPub is today what Paul thought he saw in Twitter in 2009. Except AP it is not owned by a private company, which in hindsight, seems like a critical factor if a protocol should be able to survive and thrive for decades.

Elon censored me for mentioning my Mastodon handle on Twitter. Me and anyone else who did the same.

I use WireGuard to access all in-home stuff as well, but there is one missing feature and one bug with the official WireGuard app for android that is inconvenient: - Missing feature; do not connect when on certain SSIDs. - Bug: When the WG

Many commenters argue that free speech is being infringed upon, but isn't this really about protecting user data and preventing an adversarial and autocratic foreign power from influencing U.S. citizens? Sure, it is hypocritical to not

The photo organizing software Ente [0] can do this, and is packaged into a really neat product. I have not gotten around to try the self hosted version yet, but it is on my list! [0] https://ente.io/ml

I have had something similar in mind for a while, but nothing so fleshed out as you have here! One question; how would you implement identity? I can imagine spam and unwanted content becoming a problem, so maybe a reputation system or netwo

Heard your project mentioned recently on the localfirst.fm podcast, and that you use the Jazz framework. Interesting stuff!

Thanks, it's been a while since I last looked into it. Will my self-hosted account be able to talk directly to other self-hosted BlueSky accounts?

The OP does not take issue with the algorithm part, but the claim of decentralization. I'm currently running my own instance of an ActivityPub server (GoToSocial), just for me, and it works like a charm. I would not know how to do the

This is not an outright ban, but a sensible regulation. Kids can stil use simple messaging apps, but have to wait to get their first fix of attention grabing, personalized ad feeds.

"Another study indicated that alternating between sitting and standing, combined with brief walks, was more effective for health than standing alone." Standing desks is not the problem, but standing or sitting all day long can be.

The conclusion from the article, which I find sensible: - Use SQLite - Describe the actions of your service with HTTP verbs and methods as much as possible - Write plain HTML (with templates); enhance it sparsely; use isolated scripts.

What we really should do, is rethinking School. The design of the buildings is not the problem. The Sudbury Valley model is a fascinating take on a different kind of educational environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I
