@ayoubabedrabbo Right. Similarly, I imagine fediverse servers would need to adhere to certain standards to be able to federate with Threads.
But to be clear, this listing defines the larger part of the fediverse, because if servers federate with noncompliant servers, they can face trouble.

I want to be marketed towards only using wayland only stuff.
I've been working on the command-line API client, ap, for the #ActivityPub book I'm writing for O'Reilly Media. It's a Python program that implements commands like `ap inbox` (read the inbox) and `ap reject follower` (reject a pending follower).
Originally, I was testing it live, just running it against onepage.pub. This weekend, I buckled down and wrote real unit tests with unittest.mock. It's been amazing; what a great tool.

Watched the last episode of TechOverTea by @BrodieOnLinux , with Georges Stavracas, a great lead dev in Gnome, Wayland, you name it. The amount of shiite and harassment he, and many other FOSS people have to suffer is simply staggering. And no, it's not 'them', it is from the 'free and opensource community'. It's by us. Think about that and let it sink in. We have to do better for them and act, no coffee talk. As a true community.

Listung im Friendica-Verzeichnis
Mal ne vielleicht blöde frage: Aber wie / wann gelangt man eigentlich auf dir.friendica.social
Das hier ist aktiviert:
Aktiviere diese Einstellung, wenn du von anderen einfach gefunden und gefolgt werden möchtest. Dei Profil wird dann auf anderen Systemen leicht durchsuchbar. Außerdem regelt diese Einstellung ob Friendica Suchmaschinen mitteilen soll, ob dein Profil indiziert werden soll oder nicht. Dein Profil wird auch in den globalen Friendica Verzeichnissen (z.B. dir.friendica.social) veröffentlicht werden.
Trotzdem ist mein Profil nicht zu finden 🤷♂️
Wie lange dauert das denn, oder muss man noch was anderes dafür tun?
@tom
Ich meine explizit das Verzeichnis unter dir.friendica.social
Wobei es auch interessant ist zu wissen, inwieweit man über die Standard-Suche von anderen Instanzen aus gefunden werden kann.
Von meinem eigenen Profil auf Mastodon wird dieses Profil hier gefunden, aber das ist ja nicht der Maßstab 🤣
@tom
Hm, ich habe mal von hier relaylist.com/ 8 Relays eingetragen.
Es werden mir unter Administration --> Seite --> Relays nur 4 angezeigt 🤷♂️
Ich betreue 2 stück beide haben eine Whitelist
relay.rollenspiel.monster
relay.fedimins.net
@crazy2bike @dominion
@Tealk @tom @dominion :verified_root:
ich musste jetzt feststellen, dass diese Relays für einen extremen Anstieg der Serverload sorgen. Vielleicht waren, obwohl im Backend nur 4 Relays angezeigt wurden alle 8 aktiv, die ich über die Konsole hinzugefügt habe und vielleicht sind mehr als 1-2 Relays zu viel des Guten, aber die Load ging auf fast 100, als ich vorhin in kurzer Zeit viel geliked, geteilt und ein paar Posts geschrieben habe.
Nach Entfernen aller Relays dümpelt die Load wieder bei < 1.
@tom
Bezüglich Load und Loadanstieg habe ich auch keinen Vergleich, da ich auf Mastodon ja nicht auf einem selbst gehosteten Server war.
De facto ist die Nutzung von Mastodon in Apps aber deutlich flüssiger als Friendica. Das betrifft das Nachladen in der Timeline als auch das Liken und Teilen. Bei Mastodon kann ich im Sekundentakt liken und teilen, bei Friendica kommt da in den Apps "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten" und auch die Load steigt an (wenn auch bei Weitem nicht annähernd so wie mit den Relays).
Vielleicht ließe sich mein Server noch in der Perfomance optimieren, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob das nicht auch an Friendica selbst liegt.
Vielleicht teste ich doch mal noch Mastodon auf dem eigenen Server... 🤔
@tom
Nein, kannte ich bislang nicht.
Friendica kann man mit Tusky und Fedilab schon nutzen. Aber wie gesagt: Da kommen immer wieder Fehlermeldungen, wenn man schnell liked oder teilt, und das Laden ist mit gewissen Wartezeiten verbunden.
Kann natürlich auch an meiner Instanz liegen, dass die trotz nochmal neu aufsetzen nicht optimal performant läuft. Allerdings wüsste ich nicht, wo da noch viel rauszuholen wäre.
This is the irony of the re-emergence of Harmful Algal Blooms on Lake Erie - more #Walleye. More algae means more #zooplankton (and #benthos) which ultimately feeds these fish. They have also been eating Yellow Perch (another desirable, targeted planktivorous fish), and driven down their numbers considerably.

Some people want more fish.
Some people want less harmful algae.
Can't have both.

It's most important to talk about this.
Lemme tell you a story. Back in, it might be 2008ish i was already fully on linux, KDE 3.5 I think. I met someone online I liked, she was using Windows live messenger. I tried with Kopete, a multi messenger. It wasn't working all that well. To the point where I jumped in IRC and just threw all my anger at the devs. How crappy it is, how they can't even make the texting work, they pointed me to the bug tracker. That angered me even more. 🧵+
There isn't really a solution for this other than telling every toxic community member to do something with their lives lol

The handheld gaming space has always been one steeped in both nostalgia and potential. Then Valve came along with their first entry in it, and reminded me of exactly why I love it in the first place.Pengling (GamingOnLinux)
I own several consoles (XBox 360, Series X, Playstation 3, 4 Pro, Switch etc.) and I am absolutely enthusiastic about the #SteamDeck !
It's PC-Gaming like it's a console. And better.
I totally love this device ..! 😀
