Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?

@stefano FediMeteo is a sublime project Stefano
Thank you 💕 for providing us with this powerful & wonderful service right here in the FediVerse
It is a **gargantuan** project given the amount of countries involved, but eventually everyone will be able to see their weather right here
@rl_dane
As you can see here in the screencap I have 5,000 characters that I'm allowed to fill on this FediVerse server. That means that if you look carefully you can find an instance where there is no silly limit to the amount of characters, you're allowed to use.
@stefano configured the max amount possible. Thank you 💕 Stefano!
The last time you told me that you have a client which converts MarkDown into is HTML so the markdown code is visible in the toot. Did I remember that right?
Canadian friends on the #Fediverse
With the weather shifting so much these days, it might be useful to get your local forecast right in your timeline! 🌦️
#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) is a project that processes data from #OpenMeteo and publishes it—country by country, city by city—on the Fediverse, on each city’s web page, and also via RSS.
Every 6 hours, a friendly bot updates and shares the latest weather data.
📌 How does it work?
➡️ Follow your city's page on the Fediverse.
➡️ If you don’t see forecasts yet, it likely means no one’s following that city.
➡️ Start following it, and you'll receive the updates in the next cycle!
🔗 Here's the link for Canada and the list of cities currently available.
🌍 Decentralised, open-source weather forecasts on the Fediverse! 🌱
Amis canadiens du #Fediverse
Avec ce temps changeant, il peut être pratique de recevoir les prévisions météo directement dans votre fil d’actualités ! 🌦️
#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) est un projet qui traite les données de #OpenMeteo et les publie — pays par pays, ville par ville — dans le Fediverse, sur la page web de chaque ville et aussi via RSS.
Toutes les 6 heures, un petit bot sympathique met à jour et publie les données météo les plus récentes.
📌 Comment ça marche ?
➡️ Suivez la page de votre ville dans le Fediverse.
➡️ Si vous ne voyez pas encore de prévisions, c’est probablement que personne ne suit encore cette ville.
➡️ Commencez à la suivre et vous recevrez les prochaines prévisions au prochain cycle !

fedidiot (noun)
/ˈfɛdɪdiˌət/
A chronically online regressive leftist who treats the Fediverse like a sacred commune and any deviation from their ideological purity as heresy.
Characterized by performative political outrage, allegiance to self-appointed high priests of decentralized social media, and an unwavering belief that the Fediverse must be free for all, except for corporations, capitalists, or anyone with a blue checkmark.
Fedidiots often declare any attempt by “Big Tech” to federate as "digital colonization", while ignoring the irony of their own centralized influence within their ideological echo chambers. Willing to shout down dissent louder than they shout at actual systems of power.
Usage:
"She blocked me for following someone who questioned the holy mod of her instance. Classic fedidiot behavior."

Well, now also in English:
As far as I know, @heiseonline is now the (EDIT:) third media organization with it's own instance on #Peertube to share #videos directly in the #Fediverse.
The first channel to look out for is @ct_3003, but there are more to come.
I hope, we're only the beginning, so let's spread the word!
This is not happening. But if it did, it would be horrible. Nothing against

#AskFedi: I'm looking for French and Italian-speaking volunteers to check the translations of my subtitles for the Fedi promo video...
Yes technically Italian is my native language and I'm fluent in French but I'm not used to discussing the #Fediverse in these languages and I could really use some help 😅
Please DM me if you're interested. I'll give you credit in the video description.
Thanks! 🙏

David Fincher – „The Social Network“ (2010)
Ein Film von David Fincher, nach einem Buch von Aaron Sorkin, über eine der umstrittensten Personen der Gegenwart. Eigentlich ein „No-Brainer“, dass es sich dabei um ein Werk auf der Höhe seiner Zeit handelt. Doch vielleicht kam er einfach ein paar Jahrzehnte zu früh? Nichtsdestotrotz: Hoch sehenswert! (ZDFneo, Wh)
Gestern habe ich ein Experiment gewagt, weil es mich einfach interessierte... wie lange dauert es wohl, bis eine total unbekannte, frische, neu aufgesetzte Friendica-Installation ordentlich mit anderen Instanzen verknüpft ist? Wie kann man das beschleunigen? Gerade bei Single-User-Instanzen ist das doch oft ein Thema. Zumindest bei mir hat es sonst lange gedauert, bis man mit einer ordentlichen Anzahl Instanzen verknüpft war.
Die Domain ist neu, wurde noch nie mit Friendicia genutzt, für/in Friendica wurde nichts importiert, kein Backup genutzt. Friendica habe ich nach der Anleitung auf meinem Blog (nativ) installiert, Admin-Zugang angelegt, danach einen Daemon eingerichtet. Anschließend bin ich mir selbst auf missocial.de gefolgt. Danach im Adminbereich für ca. 6 Stunden Maximum Load Average auf 80 und Maximale Anzahl parallel laufender Worker auf 1000 gesetzt.
Heute morgen dann, nach diesen etwas über 6 Stunden folgendes Ergebnis auf meiner neuen Instanz:
"Der Knoten kennt 24.987 andere Knoten mit 6.170.810 aktiven Nutzern im letzten Monat, 2.957.407 aktiven Nutzern im letzten halben Jahr und 25.549.270 registrierten Nutzern insgesamt von den folgenden Plattformen: Friendica (445/24446), Akkoma (553/17202)..."
(Ob das nun sinnvoll ist oder vernünftig ist, lass ich jetzt mal dahingestellt... aber ich wollte einfach mal testen, ob man diesen Vorgang beschleunigen kann UND ob das etwas bringt. Die Worker und Maximum Load Average habe ich vorhin wieder auf "normale" Werte gestellt. 😉)
When you take the time to thoroughly read the documentation of this protocol, you will have a good overview of the manner in which Delta Chat thwarts adversaries from intercepting the data transfer between multiple parties
Lot of time has been taken and a lot of coding has been done to achieve this level of Ease, for the end user while it is still quite Secure on the backend
Can you use it in All situations Secure Communication is required? Of course not.
Will it have bugs? naturally it exists of much more than just three lines of code, so don't be silly
Is it a nice Achievement? IMHO it Is a very Good Achievement.
Now go read study and learn and if necessary even add some code fork it if you want to

Good night, #Fediverse!
i’m slowly getting used to #mastodon and the #fediverse overall.
at first, i kinda missed the algorithms, they’re addictive for a reason. it felt weird not having content constantly pushed at me.
but now i see the upside. mastodon feels more natural, more intentional.
you actually explore, not just scroll.
it’s less about feeding the machine, more about following curiosity.
Bitte um Mithilfe:
Wenn ihr Euch den #ORF im #Fediverse / bei #Mastodon wünscht: Jetzt ist ein guter Zeipunkt den ORF-Kundendienst anzuschreiben. Der inoffizielle Dienst #ORFodon wird aktuell von mastodon.social blockiert, wodurch ORF-Nachrichten für viele verschwunden sind. Wesentliche Ursache ist eine bsky-spezifische Beanstandung (die aktuell konstruktiv in Klärung ist).

I want to launch a hashtag where, every Tuesday, I'll post a message and it would be great if it became a habit for many.
In a world full of conflicts, selfishness, and egocentrism, it would be nice to focus on the good that others do, what makes our lives better thanks to the contribution of others.
My first #ThankYouTuesday to the friends of #BSDCafe - both within the community servers and beyond - who have undoubtedly contributed to making my life better, more stimulating, and richer. So, I extend this gratitude to all those who, here in the fediverse or elsewhere, are present and positive, giving me inspiration and motivation.
Truly, thank you!

I’m working on a blog post “The 7 Deadly Sins of the (Current) Fediverse Web #UX” … a quick readable but thorough listing of the top 7 things many on the #Fediverse have been trying to fix for a long time, making some gains on - but that everyone knows needs to be fixed. Not specific to any one Fedi platform. Only abt Web UX. What would you add? cc: @scottjenson @cheeaun @elk @dimillian @MonaApp @dansup @mark @samhenrigold @fediversenews
Good evening, #BSDCafe!
Good evening, #Fediverse!
Today I was finally able to spend the whole day working on FreeBSD and OpenBSD servers, after a few days full of other activities.
I must confess - it’s been incredibly relaxing and refreshing.
I upgraded an OpenBSD server with a colleague (inside a bhyve VM - we were both connected to the same tmux session).
He was amazed by how simple the process was, and actually said “WOW” when the server sent the entire upgrade output via email.
Tomorrow, he’s planning to install a new OpenBSD server and “play around” with it.
Mission accomplished. 🙂
I hope that sooner or later TVs will get a presence on the #Fediverse.
I'd love being able to interact live with some TV broadcasts as I used to do but I'll not return on "Xitter" for that.
Good morning, #BSDCafe
Good morning, #Fediverse
Good morning, #World

Good morning, #Fediverse
In the Everlasting search for clients and servers Federated, detached from corporate underlords, connected to the masses I learned about the following client server duo
Client: Delta Chat
Servers: Chat Mail servers
One thing that jumps immediately into attention, is the fact that when you download the client, select a server, you get a QR code
When you've configured your client, you will immediately notice that you do not need to enter a password for your client. The system is passwordless by default.
You do not need to enter a multi-factor authentication code it doesn't need it.
What you need to do is be careful with, is who you share your link with. Go and play with it, see if it something for you

FsF Post:
Good day all you wonderful folks.
I have been so honored by all of the folks I've spoken with and I'm humbled by such a positive reception.
I am currently speaking with a few folks about joining the show. One person mentioned that "they're not my normal interviewee". They're not a nerdy techy person that's building the Fediverse is how I took that.
I wanted to let everyone know, I don't plan on having any specific person on the show. I have said before and I'll continue to say, this show is about all of us on the Fediverse. I want you to share your opinions and experiences using the different platforms. I want to know and speak with absolutely all of you.
Tech folks get a lot of attention as they try to build he platforms of the future. But those platforms are built for ALL of us. The #fediverse is for the techies, the grandparents that want to stay in contact with their kids, the freedom fighters, the people that just want to feel a little less alone, the people just want a choice, the people sick and tired of conceding privacy to be a part of society.
You're all beautiful, you're all wonderful, and each and every single one of you has a unique story to tell.
I can't do everything. But together, we can do ANYTHING. WE CAN DO ANYTHING!
Thank you once again to @neil for being my special guest today on #Episode 17 of #FiresideFedi ! It was an absolute pleasure!

Good day folks. I need your thoughts. I've started a NonProfit called BT Free, btfree.org, and I'm hoping to get thoughts on a question I had.
Do folks think it's ok if I link to the donations page for BT Free during Fireside Fedi and mention it during a show as well? I want to focus on the guest, but I'm going to have to start asking about donations somewhere, but I don't want to ask if folks think it's not ok.
Please boost this out so I can get as many thoughts as possible on this. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate everyone's thoughts. Thank you all for being here and doing all you do!

Good morning Fedi friends!
Today I'm feeling excitement over the fediverse intro video we're making... and fear about the feedback it will generate. SO. MUCH. PRESSURE!
The #Fediverse has become my happy online place. With this video project I'm putting myself out there so much (with my face, my voice) advocating for it. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone daily... but I know it's for a great cause.
Please be kind once the video is out... it'll be the result of tens of hours of work 🥲
I know, you might be surprised. But I've just installed Windows and this is a screenshot of my desktop.
Good Morning, #BSDCafe
Good Morning, #Fediverse
Team meeting this morning to do some filming for #EleFediVideos & to discuss the next steps. An issue that came up beautifully illustrates the power of the #Fediverse & decentralized social media.
The 1st video introducing the Fediverse to people not familiar with it will discuss Silicon Valley's #Broligarchy.
#YouTube could take down the video if offended right wing people complain about it.
But if I upload the video to #PeerTube... who are you reporting the video to? To ME! I'm the admin 🤗
Friends of the BSD Cafe and the whole Fediverse, happy Monday and have a great week!
The next couple of weeks will be a bit hectic for me. Everything’s fine, but sometimes the way work, tasks, and personal life overlap can get so tangled that they throw everything off suddenly and unpredictably.
But hey, that’s also part of the beauty of life, isn’t it?
On the bright side, this might give me a bit more time for two new blog posts (one of them might be a little controversial 😉 ) and some extra care for the BSD Cafe.
In the meantime, here's to a good start!
