Yeah, that’s kind of the sad flipside of things. Seems like social media has an issue with attracting weirdos to its places of power.

Yes. They could just not set them at all in the published source, and just set them in their deployment. They are at least dishonest about the reasons for keeping the source closed, which is sad.

You want to argue that people should post their posts to more communities?

And why do you want to insult me?

It is okay to miss out on something. If nobody crossposts it, it probably wasn’t that interesting anyways.

If you are afraid that you are missing out on some content, then look at the crossposts in your followed communities. Maybe the communities that were the origin of the crossposts are interesting, and worth joining? Then you’ll also see all their posts in the future.

If you want to see all posts that could remotely be relevant to you, you ultimately will have to follow all possibly relevant communities anyways. Because most users post their things simply to one community and call it done. And that’s ok and good, and does not need changing.

I think it’s more of an etiquette problem than a feature problem. Posting the same thing to many different communities should be deleted as spam. The multipost in your screenshot is certainly spam. Report that.

If you want to post something and don’t know which community fits best, or feel like multiple could fit, then just post your thing to one community. If other people find your post especially interesting, they can crosspost it. To me, cross-posting your own posts is a sign of an overinflated sense of self-importance.

Thanks! But continuwuity is separate from the commercial implementation, or are they connected somehow?

Edit: ah I checked the link, and at least they appear to be completely different projects

Is this the commercial implementation that the matrix Foundation or so was building for business? Or will this be open source and libre software?

You mean as in an auctioning platform? That’s legally a bit harder to achieve, as auctions usually have the rule that if nobody outbids you, then your offer is binding. To enforce that, instances would need to verify your identity. That’s easy for a larger company to do, but not that easy for hobbyists.

And then, to be federated, you would also need to make sure that other instances that you federate with uphold that standard.

Also, if you do auctions across international borders, how do you even prosecute somebody who does not obey the rules of an auction?

What is a CRM?

No worries. Yeah, the user interface is difficult. Thanks anyways for the post, it motivated me to self host my own agent, and it works quite well actually.

I find the idea interesting. However I wouldn’t get the commercial service you are advertising. Maybe something that can run on an older CPU as well. Doesn’t need to be fast, but if it uses up the idle compute I have on my rented server, then why not.

A back up on the same drive as the original isn’t a backup. It’s a waste of space, and a stupid idea.

It’s a backup that helps against software errors, but not against drive failures. Depending on what you want to achieve, it’s a perfectly valid strategy.

I have daily backups, weekly, monthly and yearly. All but yearly is deleted after a certain time, but yearly I keep forever.

They usually do transcoding when you watch a movie or so. Depending on hardware that may heat it up a bit. I guess if it would have heating problems then OP would have resolved that already though.

Proxmox is a commercial product.

Letsencrypt can be directly forced to revoke certificates by the US. Organisations outside of the US are less vulnerable against that.
