Relays rebroadcast public posts to instances that are subscribed to it. For admins, adding relays helps increase the potential amount of posts that reach your instance.

ActivityPub Relay updates, boost

I've recently made some updates to the ActivityPub Relay I maintain. This includes a regularly updated list of connected instances for monitoring their status and having an easy way to refer to instances for inquiry. I've also added a relay policy which states instances will be banned for featuring bigoted content or having poor ...

It really depends on the situation. Hardware support is definitely better than it used to be and everything in linux is hackable regardless of distribution if needed, but the reason I haven't switched my main tower from Arch to Debian is that fear of requiring extra work for things like gaming and music production. If you're running the newest and latest hardware you might run into an issue depending on the kernel version being used, etc.,

That being said, I use Debian every day on my thinkpad and love it. I have an interest in migrating away from Ubuntu Server and toward Debian for servers as well. I don't think I've ever heard it "not recommended", just similar caution expressed.

Why on earth would you store customer data in a private github repo???

Not only did they not have to keep it this long - there are a handful of better ways to store that data

My first system was a ColecoVision, but Master System is really the first system I have vivid memories of from childhood. I think the Master System overall was my favorite part of being 4-6 years old - playing Shooting Gallery, Fantasy Zone, Ys, Missile Defense 3D (I think that was the name), etc., It also felt mysterious (?) to me because a.) I was the only kid I knew with one and b.) things like the hidden game (I forget the game exactly) that would come on if turned on the system with no cartridge inside.

Interesting, maybe it varies by model? Mine was some worm maze thing

100% a human right. If you don't have the internet today you kind of can't exist easily.

Freedom Flotilla member & supporter group chat shut down by Whatsapp

SMH @ activists using techno-fascist platforms for communications during an operation subject to state-actor level interference. I thought we recognised and acknowledged this problem 15-20 years ago already. ...

I use WhatsApp cautiously with friends who still refuse to jump over to Signal (let alone Matrix or Session). But it's def mind blowing to read an activist group was relying on it for organizing. Reminds me of FB being used for organizing G20 and BLM demos -_-

In short they are servers that help instances find posts from other instances

That's cool to know this works with friendica! How do you find running an instance? I've noticed friendica.world has been having issues lately

incentive OP , (edited )
@incentive@lemmy.ml avatar

Hey I know this is a late reply but I was going over logs and I don't think Friendica is supported. Your instance is the only one of the three erroring out so far. Do you know if you've been able to successfully add relays that support Friendica, and if so could you point them out to me so I can see what they are running?

edit I made some changes to the code in the relay. Can you try to delete and re-add the relay to your Friendica instance and I'll check the logs after to confirm?

I believe that was you that was auto-rejected again. Pushed one more fix to the relay image and relaunched. if you'd be so kind to try once more, but if I see the error again I'm going to open an issue on the repo.

I setup a Mastodon relay - anyone want to help me test? ( circlewithadot.net )

I setup a Mastodon relay - anyone want to help me test by adding it to their instance? Would help me know if the "Recent jobs" stat is working (I think it requires 2 instances at minimum to show jobs) and if adding to instances (outside of my own) is working properly and how traffic looks.

I think it's going to pop, but we'll still be left with a few survivors that take over 100% of the slop. I'm not sure there's an end to it really. Similar to how the .com bubble led to the death of a lot of fake stuff, but we got left with a larger and more centralized internet regardless.

Signal is probably your best bet but it's only mostly open source. Element/Matrix is another good option if open source is your concern.
