Just wonking about on the internet... oh look, a bee.

Ha, I blocked the worst offender in the comments here, refreshed the page and now there are like... 6.

I just bought an actual domain and use that 😅

As an added bonus, letsencrypt works with no effort.

Only in the same way that stealing code from a PoC would make me racist, stealing code from a Jew would make me anti-semitic or stealing code from a woman would make me sexist.

Since, without proof of any of that you're just making shit up I'm going to go with the reason that your post is being downvoted is that ITS JUST FUCKING STUPID.

If the post is anything to go by it's using the included "mostly for dev work only, mostly" docker-compose files. It would absolutely be able to be scaled out since at it's core it's just a webapp with workers. The app is already configured to use Redis for session storage so should be able to go super wide.

Only limitation is how performant you could make your postgres cluster.

For an organisation hosting as many companies data as this one I'd expect automated tape at a minimum. Of course, if the attacker had the time to start messing with the tape that's lost as well but it's unlikely.

Not true.

Both Lemmy and KBin map the same activitypub activities to the same upvote and downvote actions.

It's not weird. I'd appreciate it if it were me.

As @HidingCat said it's to increase compatibility with the other app. If I'm following your Kbin account from my Mastodon one, when you boost something I'll see it pop up on my feed. I'd be in favour of keeping it but changing the label to something like "boost to fediverse" or "share with followers", or even just "share".

I imagine Larian care. Especially since they're pushing Steamdeck support.

The reason this is a "supported platform" issue is that the developers of Hogwarts legacy know their supported platforms support XeSS, so any work that is not "just turn it on" is additional work for no gain.

I see that you, like me, always ends up with a few screws left over 😜

This is bug. It's fixed in dev. Shortly before the great migration started a change was made to bring kbin in line with lemmy but the bit that calculated the "karma" was missed and so it still uses boosts.

Not that I agree with the concept of karma.

My vote goes to Kopia.

Wing Commander 2. My Dad sourced it and the manual was a B&W photocopy. It took ages to get onto it sometimes as the photocopy was so bad I'd be unable to decipher what letter 6 on line 8 of page 10 was.

Oh, no no. It was that I blocked one person and there were only 6 other comments left (all fine) :D

Blocking a person seems to remove any comment tree they're a branch in (i.e. their posts and all responses to those posts)

It has one. Minus an undocumented step (that's sat fixed in a pr). Bringing it up amounts to 4 lines in a console; 1 to bring up the stack and 3 to start a JS watch for asset compilation.

Thank you for doing the investigation so I don't have to. He'll be going on many peoples block lists at this point.

Just keeping things spinning at this point is taking up most of Ernest's time.

So you could say there's a catch.

So what happens with 300 people downvote a post and 500 upvote it? For that to work you'd need an 'account' per post/vote/user combination. Now your instance has 1000's of bot accounts that are now indistinguishable from bad vote manipulation.

This isn't the case though? Upvotes (aka favourites everywhere else) are what affect the "algorithm" the functionality thats broken is Karma tracking.

As the "owner" of a community an instance is responsible for distributing posts made to it to other servers. Beehaw have said they're not listening to lemmy.world and so don't distribute posts made by lemmy.world users.

Sadly, until federation is working, it may as well not exist.

That said, when it does start working I look forward to the battle of the f1 communities.

It does, AFAIK affect the post ranking i.e. order of posts. So it's got that going for it - which is nice.

Large parts of my particular departments .gov.uk stack are PHP. All modern (8.1+) using established frameworks and to be honest, it's a joy. It's quick to write, easy to understand and very easy to test. The write, run, debug cycle is also essentially instant; although I really enjoy using Go (another bit of the stack) being able to quickly iterate changes is something I absolutely miss when I'm using it.

Laravel + Livewire is some sort of dark voodoo magic. I can write only PHP and have a functioning SPA with push updates and all sorts.

There are tests (and if the readme is to be believed a 71% coverage) they live in the top level tests/ folder.

As to the .env file you just need to rename the example one and either amend these values (with appropriate urls)

SERVER_NAME=localhost
KBIN_DOMAIN=localhost:9443
KBIN_STORAGE_URL=https://localhost:9443/media

MERCURE_URL=https://localhost:9443/.well-known/mercure
MERCURE_PUBLIC_URL=https://localhost:9443/.well-known/mercure
CADDY_MERCURE_URL=https://localhost:9443/.well-known/mercure

Or add them to a new .env.local file.

Start it all up and jobs done*

*well, you need to run the asset pipeline and add an admin user but that's all in the Readme.

It'll never happen, centralised means stable. Just check out what this company called Google have built!

LGBTQIA+ (is that the current one?)

It's somewhat ironic that this is just the sort of statement that beehaw admins are fed up of moderating away.

Not to mention that the defacto package manager (composer) blows NPM out of the water in basically all metrics. From what I understand most languages package managers now look up to or even model themselves on it.

Wanted to see how far we could go :D

Yep. Though activitypub calls it something else as well. It's renames all the way down

It's been a long time since I even thought about Futurama so I wasnt sure if ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Both these give you a simple way to search for things you want. They use IMDB and the like to give you a big list of results. You add what you want to your collection and in the background they scurry off to torrent sites or usenet and downloads it. Then they name everything nicely and stuff then in your Plex library.

You can set them up to use specific torrent sites. Download specific qualities, or more likely an order of qualities by preference and all sorts of other tweaks.

Not only hosts it. Wrote it. There's a small team now but its mostly all him at this point.

When it's running in server mode it provides a similar UI too when it's a client, except now you can browse the snapshots/policies of each client that uses it.

Not quite full management but yeah, good for home use.

Of course a bad actor can set up their own instance and just create thousands of fake bot accounts and do the same.

A competent admin would then just defederate from them. Easy. But now throw in that all kbin instances look like bot fests and what do you do? Maybe what lemmy.ml have done and just block kbin useragents at the firewall.

Having an aggregate account that just sends totals could work, but then vote brigading just became even easier. What's that aggregate bot? Did you just send a vote ratio of 300:1.9k for this comment? Lovely.

It's a very hard problem to solve and I'm not sure it's doable. The only thing keeping ActivityPub together is the fact that it's so transparent and bad actors are easily spotted and blocked. As soon as you muddy the waters the primary benefactor is the bad person.

I mean, you weren't wrong. I can post (Tweet) on my Mastodon and if the tags are being followed by a magazine then that post will show up under it's Microblogs section.

They aren't used in Mastodon. Maybe they are in other platforms (misskey?)

Things I'm particularly proud of include the new language filtering setting, the lnf changes (compact mode on a tablet feels niiice) and the markdown improvements - hopefully everyones community links will work now!
