@dj Damn, Ubuntu is hard! 🤪
Getting Pleroma to run in Void was a lot easier than that. TBH it took me more time to figure out ImageMagick dependencies to build it the way it doesn't require X11 libs.

Oh, yes! It's good and really inexpensive 👍
I don't drink much nowadays, but this one used to be my go to whiskey in recent years. It's Irish so it's really soft, and not too expensive — at least this one in the green box, of course they have more expensive kinds. I doubt it's widely available, but if you see it, get a bottle — highly recommended!
@RustyCrab
@RustyCrab Very relatable!
Glenfiddich is so much better than Black Label though 😅
@ML2
Makes sense! Also explains why it breaks by itself every now and then 😅

> Twitter removed API access
I wonder why Nitter still works. I haven't updated my instance and it still works as expected. Well, maybe it uses API keys of official Twitter app.
@Trethurane
I tried watching a movie on cable TV last week, having not done so in years and I was surprised by how rare and how short these breaks are! I was literally waiting for them so I could use my phone. Was I streaming or watching local video over DLNA, I would have paused it five times already 😅
@Rasp
Does anyone have experience installing #Pleroma into a subdirectory so it's name.tld/pleroma , not pleroma.name.tld ?
There is a path variable for http endpoint and making .well-known accessible from top level doesn't sound hard, but you don't see such a setup often thus it might lack testing, I wonder if it works as expected 🤔
@haverholm@imaginair.es Oh, the man even looks (somethat) like me, I'm thinking about changing my nickname now 🤣
Well, it least now I know that's not his real name.
> Signal recently enabled crypto-currency payments within the app
This is a little hypocritical IMO. After this blog post: https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html
Well, he does talk more about technical aspects, but the tone of it makes the impression he's skeptical about everything cryptocurrency-related.
@haverholm@imaginair.es
BTW Proton had fedi accounts for both Mail and VPN, but gave them up in favour of Twitter, decentralization wasn't considered important by most at the time, I can imagine sacrificing that for marketing reasons. But if you look back on that from 2023, that was a really dumb move 😂
Sorry for breaking it into several comments, my instance only allows 500 characters.
@haverholm@imaginair.es Do you remember when Proton gave the IP-address of a French activist to the law enforcement? A lot of people started thinking "ProtonMail isn't secure", but it's not the case! They didn't leak emails, they only did the bare minimum to comply with Swiss law — they've never claimed otherwise. And this wouldn't be a problem had that activist used a VPN service, even their own ProtonVPN. But after that happened, it got hard to explain that to the general public.
@haverholm@imaginair.es Let me play devil's advocate here. I think it wasn't about being evil, it was pure marketing. If you claim Signal being about security and privacy, most people think of app — everything that happens inside that app is secure, but it's not the case when you allow federation, you also have to trust the one operating the server you're on, but most people have no concept of protocols or servers. Had something happened on a third-party server, they'd start thinking "Signal isn't secure".
@haverholm@imaginair.es I'm truly surprised that he took part in that cryptocurrency, having read how sceptical he is about everything crypto and blockchain, I got the impression his position on subject is more like Molly White's.
Well, at least we got the double ratchet algorithm, which found its way into Matrix, which is decentralized. We should thank him for that, but everything else… Yeah, I agree with you!
@haverholm@imaginair.es
> Pardon me if your username raises some suspicion
Oh, yes 🤣 I picked this nickname long before I knew it could be a name of a real person. It's basically just "me", but stylized as hexadecimal number.
And yes, this much I have heard of. I think Signal even supported federation at certain point, but it was all about apps at the time and controlling every aspect of it. It's controversial, but not on the scale of the other two devils in question.

The one with the goat? 😄
@splitshockvirus I'm using an old PowerPC MacMini to host it so OTP wasn't an option, I had to go through all this shit 😩
Worked just fine with Elixir 1.14.2 — that is what Void PowerPC had. Could that be the problem in your case?
@splitshockvirus I've installed Pleroma from stable branch this week. This my first time installing it and I don't get how a lot of things work, but at least building went without a hitch 🤷
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
