I’m fairly sure it can, but that’s default behaviour over there, similar to how Mastodon and X/Twitter work.

She’s posting from Friendica. Ignore the @mention, that’s just how that platform works

What do you mean “planned successor”?

Nice to see (some of) my taxes going to improving the Fediverse.

The Sovereign Tech Agency (previously Sovereign Tech Fund) is an organisation set up by the German government to fund critical open source projects. Mastodon receiving funds therefore means that the German government considers the Fediverse critical infrastructure.

You could use owncast as a twitch alternative: https://owncast.online/

Some Matrix clients such as comment also support screen sharing (for a more discord like experience). But I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t speak to its quality or reliability: https://commet.chat/

For new users the local feed is the recommendation algorithm. If you are on a instance that caters to your interests you will discover stuff that interests you there automatically. If you’re not, then you might conclude, that Lemmy has nothing for you and bounce off the platform entirely. This is especially true if you are looking for non-English content.

The paradoxical situation with federation and instances is that those least likely to understand it are among the more likely to profit from it if they did.

Hardware

A mac mini is probably overkill for what you want to do. We are talking standard blu-ray after all, meaning your videos are going to be limited to 720p. Most hardware will have no problem dealing with that. The cheapest solution that’s fit for purpose is a refurbished thin client. They aren’t powerful or anything, but you don’t need powerful. You need quiet (passively cooled) and low on energy consumption.

Thin clients can be had on eBay for less than 30 Franks.

Software

• Kodi: originally known as the XBox Media Center (XBMC), a TV friendly menu to pick the movie or TV show you want to watch
• LibreElec: A Linux distro, that preconfigures and auto starts Kodi, not the best choice if you plan to use anything besides Kodi
• Jellyfin: A media server. If you got multiple TVs you might want to look into this one. It essentially let’s you operate your own Netflix, complete with a web frontend and apps for phones and TVs, integrates with Kodi

That’s what hardware keys are for. Even the cheap lines of fido USB keys (ca $20) can safe passkeys. And your phone can too.

It’s a term from city planing. Essentialy places that are not your place of work or someone’s home.

Here is a more in depth explainer by NotJustBikes: https://youtu.be/VvdQ381K5xg

That’s why Ultramarine exists. It’s just Fedora with RPM-Fusion (the non-free repo) preconfigured and the Nvidia drivers preinstalled.

No it’s not. Matrix isn’t part of the Fediverse. It doesn’t use ActivityPub and there is no interop with any other Fediverse service.

That doesn’t make Matrix bad, it just makes it it’s own thing.

6. Your server is your algorithm. That’s what the local feed is for. If you pick a server that caters to your interest, then the local feed becomes a potent discovery tool. That’s even more true for non-English communities because English language content is probably going to drown out everything else on the all/global feed

Something something, republicans are spineless cowards, something something, the supremecourt has been captured?

Compose multiplatform https://www.jetbrains.com/compose-multiplatform/

• ubuntu touch UI framework / suru: qt 5 based, so slightly outdated underpinnings, but still actively maintained https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/humanguide/index.html
• flutter: developed by google as a cross platform framework, tied to the dart programming language. https://flutter.dev/
• Canonical has created custom widgets for flutter, if you don’t like material design: https://pub.dev/packages?q=ubuntu
• uno.platform: C# framework for cross platform apps. https://platform.uno/

You could also use dedicated hardware to store your keys. Any FIDO USB key will do. I have a Yubikey that cost me less than 30 bucks.

It’s really handy, because I frequently use someone else’s device for work. All I have to do is plug it in, press the button on the key and enter the master password for the passkey storage. It’s like having a password manager on a USB stick.

And they can be hardware based as well. I have a cheap Yubikey USB dongle, which works as a passkey vault as well. Completely OS independent.

Because its not. OP made a post on Mastodon and crossposted it to Lemmy by @ing the community. I’m not sure this wasn’t by accident

Or if you live in the EU you can just install the “PAL” version which works without a PC connection.

And if you don’t have an unique public IP address, for example because you are behind CGNAT, you can use Pangolin. It tunnels all traffic from your homelab to a VPS via Wireguard and exposes your services via a Traefik reverse proxy. Pangolin also automates the Traefik setup and provides a webui to configure the individual proxies.

For a VPS I recommended ionos, because they offer servers with unlimited traffic starting at only 1€ per month with server locations in both Europe and the US.
