Well, I think a personalized message (maybe in the primary language of the instance) is more effective than some standard text thats everywhere.

I think most instance admins realize that there is also a need to support the devs, and a single place that advertises both and can get linked from the sidebar might also be more bring more donations to the devs.

Well, obviously if you host from your home ISP, people will be able to figure out your home’s approximate location via a reverse IP search.

But otherwise go for it. It’s not that hard to do and a nice learning experience.

Imho the best would be one that is customizable by the instance admins.

The militias in Rojava (northern Syria) are kinda working that way. There are no real ranks and they were quite effective fighting ISIL and Turkish proxy forces in recent years.

This guy also being a perpetrator of bullying because he didn’t like moderation decisions makes this post a bit ironic though 🤷

You can easily redirect xmpp to port 443 which is not blocked by most firewalls. If you have problems with firewalls or public wifis your xmpp server is misconfigured.

The actual military grade (xmpp based) messengers implement security lables, meaning messages are tagged with the required security clearance and if you invite random people to a chat they can’t see the messages.

Something like that could be also interesting for a Lemmy frontend to make it easier to share images on instances that have strict upload limits.

Hmm, that is odd. I guess I need to double check my Nginx config for lemmy-ui then. You have your setup documented somewhere?

Edit: ah, you run Photon as the main UI and lemmy-ui somewhere else? I think specifically the split between frontend and backend on the root domain somehow makes Anubis fail to set the correct cookie.

That would require the authors of these AI scrapers to actually give a f*ck. The problem is that they don’t, and just scrape what ever they can find repeatatly almost like a ddos attack on the open web.

What are your thoughts on blocking AI scraper access? Any attempts to improve that on the side of Lemmy? Basic things like allowing to customize the robots.txt easily would already help.

I also recently tried this new AI block tool called Anubis with Lemmy, but for some reason it fails with Lemmy-ui. Might be interesting to investigate further.

Unified Push support would be great.

This is a terrible distribution and the semi-centralisation and gatekeeping by the established actors is one of the reason email is dying.

I think we can do much better than that 👍

This goes to the main developer, which is a person in Canada. But I think they have a few collaborators that will likely get on board more now that they want to set up a non-profit (?) foundation to manage the Pixelfed codebase and IP.

The server can swap to a modified JS that exfiltrates the e2ee key and thus allows the server owner to decrypt the messages, or in more advanced encryption schemes add additional keys without you knowing and achieve the same thing.

Yes you can juryrig something like that with cookies, but it is highly fragile and browser based e2ee is basically a scam anyways as the server serving the website can always swap out the javascript that decrypts the messages.

e2ee is not really compatible with what you want due to necessary key management, and once you drop that there are so many possible options for what you want that I don’t want to list them all here.

/me notes the commenter’s home instance and concludes there is no point in arguing about this very biased take…

Maybe it was based on the “lifetime” of their hamster 🤷

You need to set it to proxy all images.
