12·10 days agoIt would be a killer feature for us in the fedi. :)
Peertube is awesome, but more alternatives in the space would be welcome.
Maybe something to do with your audio?

Can you check
/var/log/syslog?Something like:
tail -f /var/log/syslogmay help out.That file usually has the answers. Its just hard to find the exact lines.

25·13 days agoTheres a reddit community for that. Litterally !reddit@lemmy.world
Thanks! I personally think as long as people land in the fediverse, its going to be ok. But its cool to give some highlights to piefed.
Also congrats on making a “controversial” post! Thats how you know its good :D
Yeah I agree, its all the same TBH.

Because it would address what you talk about above. You dont like it, fix it. Ive done it on quite a few fedi services, its not terribly hard. It makes the world just a tiny bit better.
Create a PR and fix it.
It took 2 days for a PR to go though on piefed. It was a great experience.
Reading the code is VERY easy, even compared to other projects. I was able to get it up and running in about 30 mins with very little knowledge of the project. The “filters” are all optional on the admin side and instances can and have modified them to suit their needs.
Congrats @rimu@piefed.social ! Your project has gained “controversy”, the main way you can tell its getting successful 😁.

Technology@lemmy.world•How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters AreEnglish
47·17 days agoOne of the tools, which was built by Paragon, an Israeli technology company, lets people take control of phones or remotely hack into them to read messages or track locations. The others were built by Penlink, a Nebraska-based software company. They use social media data scraped from the web and information from data brokers to help build dossiers of anyone with a social media account.
ICE’s use of facial recognition software was documented in videos and photos from local activist groups in Minnesota this month and reviewed by The Times. Two photos captured fatigue-clad agents using cellphones to scan the faces of protesters in Minneapolis, while in one video, agents could be heard telling people that they were being recorded with facial recognition technology and that their faces would be added to a database.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Does self hosting your own internet count?English
1·18 days agoYep i agree. Although it sounds like its trivial to break lora/tastic encryption from what was discussed online. Ill be honest i never went down that rabbit hole.














I got told i was upvoting banned content. That was a kick in the pants! Got me off reddit quick.
