It either runs in the browser or an electron app, so unlikely that OnlyOffice will be a good fit.

You could try Collabora/Nextcloud Office, which runs the LibreOffice on the server and just streams UI tiles to the clients, so the impact of running that in shifted to the server. Still needs to run a browser though.

AFAIK it is all open-source these days (unlike before), but some features are disabled in the official easy to use binary releases. Not ideal, but you can find 3rd party container images with the stuff enabled again.

Nobara is basically the normal Fedora Workstation edition with some improvements for online streamers. The downside is that it lacks behind in version updates. Unless you really very specifically need those modifications, I would just install regular Fedora. Personally I think the KDE spin is the nicest out of the box: fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/

It has external Nvidia driver and Steam repositories enabled by default for easy installation and you can also activate RPMfusion and Flathub repositories for more 3rd party software in the settings of the updater.

Usually it is the town, or nearby town. If you live in a more rural area that can narrow it down to a few hundred people.

Also in some less-developed countries the data protection by ISPs is very weak. Basically if you know someone in the police (or pay a bit under the table) you can easy get the exact name and address of the account owner if you have an IP.

We have XMPP accounts integrated with our Lemmy instance already. Lemmy doesn’t make that easy out of the box, but you can just hook up an XMPP server directly to the Lemmy database.

Fediverse sustainability

I prefer good faith discussions please. I love the Fediverse and love what it can be long term. The problem is that parts of the culture want nothing to do with financial aspect. Many are opposed to ads, memberships, sponsorships etc The “small instances” response does nothing to positively contribute to the conversation....

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Have you considered that it isn’t the price but the subscription? Many people I know have a real aversion against subscription services with this constant threat of being cut off and arbitrary price increases.

I am pretty sure an up-front single “life-time” price would have more takers, even if such a promise is obviously still subject to many caveats.

I guess this is related to this: stability.ai/…/stable-audio-efficient-timing-late… ?

Are you subscribed to a lot of communities and/or does it also happen when not logged in?

I suspect it might be related to loading a lot of community avatars which seem to not get properly cached in the browser or so.

I haven’t really had time to properly investigate, but I also noticed it being a bit sluggy.

Maybe you best option is to try an alternative frontend like Photon or Alexandrite.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah 😑 A very large point of Linux mobile is to get away from vendor specific kernels and non-upstream drivers, so that devices can be run on mainline kernels easily.

It does sound like the situation with the Pinephone Pro is better in that regard, but why does it have to be so darn overpriced? 😒

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Sure, but at a 200$ price point you can pay a bit extra for a device to play around with.

A 600$+ device like the Pro, however should better be actually useful as a daily driver, which currently AFAIK it is not. Also the same company sells similar hardware for half the price, which is what makes it especially overpriced.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

It doesn’t cost 400$. That’s the price before taxes, shipping and import duty. The official pine64eu store has the real price which is 592.50€

What I mean is that if they can sell the Pinebook Pro with the same SoC and a PP with a nearly identical hardware other than the SoC each for a bit more than 200$, then asking 600$ for the Pro is clearly overpriced.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

The PPP still costs nearly double of the PP, even when comparing the prices like that, which was my original point.

Are there maybe reasons for it? Sure, licensing expensive but pointless Gorrilla glass and other such non-sense does rise the price, but it doesn’t change the fact that the PPP is vastly overpriced, while the PP was originally not (these days it is, but that’s just because it still has the same price as half a decade ago).

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

The modem is the same and the SoC is the same as in the Pinebook Pro, which costs much less. The only actually better part in the PPP that justifies a slightly higher price is the back camera.

I think Pine64 tried to get in some imagined premium market with the PPP and the PineNote, and at least for the Note they admitted it was a total failure.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Obviously I am comparing both the PP and the PBP with the PPP. The two cheaper devices show that it would have been perfectly possible to make a sub 300$ device that is a functional equivalent of the PPP.

More colors on a tiny low resolution mobile screen is another one of these useless premium features they added to justify the massive price hike.

An audit wouldn’t really help with the core problem though.

I think bridges like beeper should inform other unsuspecting communication partners about their use.

Trouble with Hardware Accelerated Transcoding

Hey there, I’m not exactly sure where to post this, but I have been trying to solve this issue for hours now. I have an old Intel NUC which runs Ubuntu/Docker with Sonarr, Jellyfin etc. I’ve found that it is slightly too slow for ‘live’ transcoding through Jellyfin. Enabling hardware transcoding I’m experiencing speeds...

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

There are multiple Jellifin and in-house streaming communities on Lemmy. Why not post these type of support question there?

Jellyfin is not really self-hosted in the classical sense and I think these off-topic posts are really getting too much lately.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Via KODI maybe?

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

No big practical difference, but the tooling for 389ds is somewhat better. There is for example a cockpit dashboard for it and I think it also integrates better with Keycloak.

But both are really overkill for anything not enterprise and I strongly recommend to use instead github.com/lldap/lldap

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Throwaway account posts the same message on multiple communities is a clear sign that the goal was to stirr up some community drama.

It is no secret that some of the lemmy developers have questionable political views 🤷‍♂️

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

No, because Lemmy doesn’t support Oauth2 yet. And even if it would support it, at most it could be a “login with lemmy.ml” or similar instance specific button as the protocol requires a specific endpoint.

Edit: see other comment in this thread. With the OIDC discovery extension to OAuth2 it might be possible, but I haven’t seen that feature being used this way in the wild yet.

poVoq, (edited )
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Yes, but that is not how Oauth2/OIDC works (the old OpenID did, but it has been largely abandoned).

One of the reason this approach was abandoned is that these external login automations are very easily abused for spam if you allow arbitrary instances as the auth endpoint.

poVoq, (edited )
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

The old OpenID didn’t see much uptake (because of the spam issue) and the alternative Oauth2 that was AFAIK mostly pushed by Google is clearly designed for the purpose of large centralized providers. So I don’t think there is a direct causality, but yes it is related.

Never the less Oauth2/OIDC works quite well and is clearly better that most of the alternatives still commonly in use.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Clearly Mumble. No need even for Docker, it comes packaged with most distros.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

While relatively easy to build, they seem quite complex to manage and have a risk of explosive hydrogen gas production and even toxic bromide gas in rare cases.

Probably not a DIY project that is easy over all.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Hard to say… I think first of all one needs to differentiate between the “successful” ones and those that end up more visible as criminals and the like.

I think the successful ones are the ones that do more harm to society and a Solarpunk society is much more resistant against such people than our current one that often rewards sociopathic behaviour in leadership roles.

As for the less successful ones: there is probably no easy answer to this, but it might be possible to treat with some psychopharmic substances?

I have been trying to do bonds with USB adapters and while it usually seems to work fine at first, they just seem to randomly drop out when run 24/7 so I stopped doing that. In theory it seems like a good idea though.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Sure, but you forgot about reusing perfectly good older 1gbit equipment with sufficient ports to do nice 4gbit bonds. I have been doing that with 4 port Intel NIC PCIe expansion cards for a while on those servers with free slots, but on those thin clients re-purposed as servers that is usually not the case.

snikket.org can do that well. Currently only 1:1 voice calls though, small group conference calls are still a work in progress.

Sounds like an awesome book. I am not so much into audio-books though, but an ebook version is certainly on my list to get now.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah, I saw that after writing my comment and backed that tier. Looking forward to get the DRM free ebook.

poVoq, (edited )
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Apparently that is mostly possible client side. Photon already supports both, and Voyager with the latest release, but with some caveats.

Literally the first sentence:

Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform.

On the linked website.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Apparently you didn’t read the article. And no it isn’t. It shares some superficial similarities and some roots (as the article explains), but contrary to the hippie movement it isn’t about personal (and sexual) liberation.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Again you show your complete ignorance of Solarpunk. Why are you commenting in this community if you don’t even understand the basics of it?

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

I tried in my first reply, but why should I waste more time on someone that doesn’t even bother to read the linked text and shows repeated 0 effort in trying to understand even the basics?

There was sufficient storage all through out last winter, and while the warm weather certainly helped in that regard, it was mainly gas market speculation that drove up the gas prices and resulted in record profits of the companies involved in the gas trade.

Assuming the situation will be a bit more stable this year, I guess it will not happen again to the same extend, but lets see.

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

They are on Codeberg, which is a much more vibrant FOSS community than Github. I highly doubt being on Github has any sort of benefit for these kind of non-corporate projects. It would be probably detrimental as many FOSS enthusiasts refuse to use Github.

Hmm not sure… maybe some open-source CRM?

That article seems incredible naive when it comes to Threads and ActivityPub.

I think it is better to hear what Zuckerberg himself has in mind, as outlined in this more recent article (based on a interview with him): fediversereport.com/zuckerberg-on-threads-and-act…
