Another update

Having to sit at a desk (with a computer) to access the Internet, rather than being able to bring a device with you, to access the Internet wherever you want.

Internet speeds.

More than a decade ago, this was the canonical pirate video for the English speaking Internet:

Lazy Town | You Are A Pirate Music Video

Enjoy 🙂

At least for Pixelfed — it looks like it may have been addressed:

I was able to put the Fediverse ID for the group at the end of the post, and it still worked.

Here is the test post:

And here is where it appeared on the Threadiverse (on a Lemmy server instance):

https://lemmy.ml/post/6229064

Some Lemmy servers on the threadiverse seem to have a theme (and are not general generic servers).

For example, https://programming.dev/ focuses on (computer) programming and other highly technical topics related to (computer) programming.

I think for a themed server, they would probably want to pick and choose which communities from other Lemmy (or Kbin) servers they syndicate to their home-page or wherever (in addition to their local communities).

I do think syndicating communities from other servers is beneficial — but I don’t think just all or nothing is a good approach.

I think Lemmy should let Lemmy sysops pick and choose which remote communities they syndicate on their home-feed or wherever.

Is that one of the versions of the Neca street diorama?

According to this, Pixelfed post scheduling was supposed to have been added to version 0.11.2 of Pixelfed:

https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/107174690236616545

I have a Pixelfed server running Pixelfed version 0.11.4, and — I am not noticing a way to schedule posts.

I wonder if the feature actually made it into the v0.11.2 release of Pixelfed — or if it was deferred to a later future release.

Somewhat related —

Mastodon has an HTTP-based APIs for scheduled posts.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/scheduled_statuses/

It doesn’t seem to be used in the offical Mastodon UI.

But many 3rd party Mastodon apps makes use of it. (For example, Tusky.)

Currently you just have to replace the writefreely binary with the postfreely binary — and it should work.

If the configuration files or database tools ever become incompatible, our intent is to write an import tool.

…

So — currently it works. And our intent is to keep it working (one way or the other) in the future.

The answer is going to depend on where the videos are coming from.

Are these videos (you want to mirror) —

• on YouTube?,
• on the threadiverse somewhere — on a Lemmy or Kbin server?,
• somewhere else?

I had no idea that !korea@lemmy.funami.tech existed until you posted about it.

I am in Korea regularly. I joined the community.

Another archetype I’ve noticed is what I’ve called —

Technical SysOp

The way I would describe these people is —

This is someone whose responsibility is the operations of the software and the hardware.

They often want to install, configure, run, monitor and automate things. They also will need to update things from time-to-time.

They sometimes use 3rd party tools to help with this.

They sometimes write their own tools to help with this.

Some want web-based systems. Some want terminal-based systems.

Another archetype I’ve noticed is what I’ve called —

Markdownists

The way I would describe these people is —

They have already decided they want to type in markdown.

Whether that be micro-blogging, blogging, commenting, writing books, or whatever.

They are looking for tools to enable them do that.

I think more research is needed to understand —

• what flavors of markdown are popular with these people, and
• if there are any features missing from the flavor(s) of markdown they have been using.
