Sounds like a skill issue. Just don’t die and you won’t die.

I couldn’t believe no one wanted to hear about increasingly obscure generative AI news so I made a whole project to prove it.

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.

I disagree. Each distro is a user of a thousand different open source systems. When a distro developer integrates gnome, systemd, bluez, or whatever other system they’re finding, reporting, and possibly fixing bugs that end users might miss. Other than arch users, who else is compiling these things from scratch and really digging into the documentation?

Doing this by hand is challenging but possible.

First you need a hex editor, not a text editor. xxd on linux will get you started but you might want something a little more user friendly.

Then look for a label for a value you know, xxd and other hex editors will show ascii text on the side. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify the value (in hexadecimal, probably 4 bytes but could be 1, 2, or 8 as well) somewhere before or after the label. You might have to get familiar with endianness, two’s compliment, and binary floating point before the numbers make sense.

Once you know how to read a value after a label you’ll need to find some label for the information you don’t know. If it isn’t displayed in the program it might not have a super readable label.

Interesting, sounds more like a bug than a feature. Looking at my instance, I can’t find any examples of posts not displaying in the subscribed feed that do appear in the community feed. Is it affecting both local and federated communities?

What sort are you using? If you’re using a time based sort like Top 6 Hours it will exclude older content.

If you sort by New are you still missing posts?

I couldn’t find a good one on their site so I downloaded the app. It’s a fancy notes app with templates for a bunch of different things. The hook seems to be the decentralized sync system.

Can I ask why you’re opposed to using a subdomain: immich.something.duckdns.org? In my experience few self hosted apps cleanly support being hosted on paths and doing so tends to require some advanced reverse proxy settings like rewrites. I don’t have immich running right now but I did at one time with that method.

It’s free as in beer if you go and check out on the leanpub page.

API keys are generally how this is done. You create an account system with billing and then allow account holders to generate API keys that must be included in every request. On your side you look up their account via the API key and check billing status before responding to the request.

If you don’t have a lot of clients you could handle billing and key generation manually.

I am also a novice at hosting my own instance but I think I have some tips:

First, don’t use the allowed instances list. I believe having any items in that list blocks any instances not in the list. So you’ve effectively defederated from all instances that aren’t lemmy.ml lemmy.world programming.dev and sopuli.xyz.

Second, make sure your languages are set properly. In the admin page there is a big list of languages. Use ctrl+click to select all the languages you want to see. Make sure that Undetermined is always selected. On mine I have that and English, you might also want German and some others but that’s up to you.

Third, bump up your federation worker count. I doubled mine to 128.

Lastly, use the search to connect to new communities. There isn’t really any automated discovery from known instances, you need to manually be searching for anything you want to show up in your instance. I use the default admin account to subscribe to every community I want to show up in all.

Federation, especially from lemmy.world and kbin.social is also being kinda funky right now with so many new users. So I would also give it a little time for any changes to take effect.

And feel free to check out all on my instance if you want to compare how comments and communities are coming through to another single user instance.

“decentralized” except that they’re keeping the core software proprietary and the main site in closed beta. Seems more like they’re using that as a buzz word to compete with mastadon than actually committing to open software.

I noticed that too on my instance, but maybe 10 minutes after subscribing posts started federating properly.

Most people complain about spam. I think you’ll be surprised just how much incoming spam you get and how hard it is to sort though it. Not to say it’s not worth doing, but that’ll be the hard part.

It’s working for me right now, the only trick is to use the URL in the search bar instead of the !<community>@<instance> format.

eg: https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin

I obviously can’t speak for instance admins or mods but it really annoys me as a user when someone posts a giant wall of text that was clearly generated by an LLM. When I want information on a community like this I want real personal experience and knowledge. Nothing irks me more than someone starting a long comment with “I don’t know the answer but I asked chatGPT and here’s what it said”. To me that says they have no knowledge that would let them edit or validate GPT’s answer, so its useless to me.

The vertical spacing between posts in the main feed.

Slim was probably the wrong choice of words in the original request.

I really like icy-nord-darker. Would you consider a slightly more compact version? You’ve already slimmed it down a lot compared to winternord, which I really appreciate.

Don’t get me wrong that comment was not meant to be supportive of musk, just a pet peeve about bad headline writing.
