silas, to foss in Is there any FOSS video editing software for mobile?
@silas@programming.dev avatar

The closest I know of is not completely free or open source, but it’s by Ubiquiti Labs and it’s really good for a mobile video editor. Mentioning it because it might still meet some people’s criteria:

Same thing happened on !lemmynade from a new test account I created on lemmy.ml. All posts are still visible from other accounts.

silas, (edited ) to foss in Does a FOSS App need TOS and Privacy Policy?
@silas@programming.dev avatar

Definitely take this all with a grain of salt—I am by no means a legal expert, this is just my advice.

Privacy Policy

Required by law in Germany if you are collecting any sort of data about your users (even if it is being collected by a third party through your app, or if it is entirely anonymous data).

Data Processing Agreement

Required by law in Germany for the same reasons as the Privacy Policy. This agreement makes it clear how your users’ data is used.

Cookie Policy

Required by law in Germany if your application uses cookies of any kind (mostly applies to web app and web technologies)

Terms of Service

Highly recommended. This may protect you immensely if and when you end up in a legal situation down the road.

Other

Otherwise, you should look into these as well if applicable:

  • EULA (if distributing your app to be run on someone else’s device)
  • DCMA Policy (if you host and share any user-generated content)
  • Return Policy (if you are selling anything)

These documents matter most if (1) there is money involved or (2) when you are receiving, processing, storing, or sharing user-submitted content or any data about your users. This is because you are less likely to end up in a legal mess if you’re not taking people’s money or data.

Starting out, you can find templates for these online. A template will be better than nothing at all. Then, if you are able down the road, you can hire a legal professional to write and review your documents for you. A legal professional might recommend more specific documents or different versions of the same document as well.

Not sure about Germany, but in the United States it’s fairly inexpensive to start an LLC. You can then put legal documents under that new entity instead of your own personal name. This can protect you and your own belongings from any unfortunate financial or legal situations.

Again, if you’re not receiving money or any user data, you don’t have to worry quite as much. However, it never hurts to play it safe. Mistakes happen and anyone can get sued.

silas, (edited ) to lemmy_support in Possible to block someone in one community?
@silas@programming.dev avatar

This is not possible on the official Lemmy UI and as far as I know no third-party apps or clients support this either. What some third-party apps do support is hiding content based on keywords. If the content that annoys you has some words in common, maybe you could use those keywords in a third-party app to filter it that way?

We’ve had a few of these built on my planet too actually

silas, to lemmy_support in How to clear cache or make some space available for my instance?
@silas@programming.dev avatar

Yeah you might be right, not sure if migration will require any extra space but it’s possible. Some providers offer very cheap snapshots or backups and you could just make one while you attempt to migrate. If it doesn’t work, it would be easy to revert at least

There’s not much more of an option unless someone else knows of one, but at some point you will need more storage again and object storage is just cheaper than block storage

@silas@programming.dev avatar

Media is likely what’s taking up the most space. Pict-rs supports object storage, at the least that would be more cost-effective (usually around $4 per month for 250gb) than scaling up your machine’s disk space
