Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): ifade.org.tr/…/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/

And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:

The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber ​​Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.

I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.

I don’t follow it very closely, but as far as I know, they are the only one implementing the open protocol they designed (which doesn’t interoperate with ActivityPub). However, there seems to be some efforts for creating a bridge: www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed

As you said, there are some recognizable faces and that may impact the adoption. But not being compatible with ActivityPub is a real bummer.

Seppo: Personal Social Web (seppo.social)

#Seppo empowers you to publish short texts (and images yet to come) and to network in the Social Web. By renting commodity web space and dropping a single file. Without being subject to terms and conditions. Without having to fret about small print or tech lore. And without the need for an IT-consultant. But rather having a...

I think single account ActivityPub implementations are addressing a weakness of the Fediverse: one’s identity (handle, username) is tied to an instance they have no control over. If that instance shuts down users lose everything. With a single account instance, you take that control back. And since it doesn’t need to scale the architecture can be much simpler and can be deployed to much cheaper infrastructure.

The demo was not straightforward, though. And I didn’t quite get how a user can follow Mastodon users, for example.

GPT-4 was able to do this even though the training data for the version tested by the authors was entirely text-based. That is, there were no images in its training set. But GPT-4 apparently learned to reason about the shape of a unicorn’s body after training on a huge amount of written text.

It’s as if they can in some way or other “see”.

I believe there is already a browser add on for this. Cannot remember the name right now.

Edit: I think this should be in Lemmy core.

I would add Ars Technica to that list and call it a day.

For programming I follow YouTube channels of the conferences relevant for my tech stack (YouTube natively supports RSS). They are generally 1 hour talks but it’s a great way to stay up to date.

I think you have a better chance if your instance focuses on a topic instead of being general purpose. That’s the reason I chose programming.dev. All communities there are related to programming so when I sort by “local” I see something interesting even though I haven’t subscribed to that community. And that increases my interaction with those communities.

Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....

Are there any other distros that are flatpak-only?

canpolat ,
@canpolat@programming.dev avatar

Thanks

@canpolat@programming.dev avatar

What about the packages that are not available in flatpak? I assume there must be some packages that are only available in certain corners of the internet?

That sounds cool. Thanks for the recommendation.

I don’t work much with Linux systems these days, but I would vote for $ sudo over #. Two reasons:

  1. It’s easy to overlook the prompt. That part is basically “some characters before the actual command”, so I don’t normally pay attention to it.
  2. # is also used for comments. I think it would be confusing to use the same character for two wildly different things.
canpolat ,
@canpolat@programming.dev avatar

Ok, maybe I misunderstood your question. I though you were proposing # instead of $ sudo and I meant to say that being explicit is better.

Would love to see a browser based implementation of this.

Did you take a look at write freely or other blogging software with native ActivityPub support?

I think I will quit at this point.

That’s a heroic effort! I laughed so hard.
