i kinda want to upload all my shitposts gallery on PeerTube but i can't even find a single instance that is open for registration lol
Let me give you my opinion, specifically as a React developer, if you don't mind.
And let's be clear: I intend this to be a constructive criticism. I hope you understand and don't take it the wrong way.
To be honest, I don't know how good or bad federating one-way is. This is more of a "people" problem rather than a technical problem.
But, to be honest, what I am bothered by, is the fact that the website doesn't give an attribution in the UI about which instance certain users are from and which instance certain certain community are from.
Take a look at this post: https://clubsall.com/posts/theyre-trying-to-charge-luigi-with-terrorism-imagine-that-qfF82
The UI says that the post was posted by u[slash]BytesOnBikes. If I didn't know better, I'd have assumed this was from a user from clubsall. But if you click the username, you realize that the link says u[slash]BytesOnBikes[at]slrpnk.net. I think this would be confusing as a user. What if there is the same user under the username BytesOnBikes from clubsall? At least if you include the instance name, user would know right away that both users are different. But if you didn't include the instance name, I feel like this can be abused to impersonate user. This is a bad thing to happen to your website, don't you agree?
Now that we both understand that lack of attribution is a bad thing to clubsall... What's stopping you from adding an instance name to the username? I'm sure the app has a way to know which instance certain users are from. From what I gather, I feel like this is as easy as appending a string in the code.
I haven't even talked about the community name on the UI. Or the ethicality of misleading attribution.
I don't think people liked the idea lol.
I actually liked kbin/mbin. I used it before moving to Lemmy. I just can't code in PHP (and I have had some trauma using it while doing internship)
The things redditors mentioned are very good already. Primarily screenshots. Please, please always add screenshots to let me have a general idea of the UI.
I've read this mentioned many times. Is it really that bad XD
Gonna go out-of-topic from the post but I need this to get this off my chest:
Do you know what prompted me to contribute to PieFed's code?
Recently, a developer of Lemmy straight up posted a link to a website to a China propaganda in a community in my Lemmy instance. Yes, a propaganda.
Tbf, slrpnk.net receives a lot of China-related posts, and that's due to China out-competing other countries in many sectors (EV, for example), and in those post OP usually critical enough to acknowledge that while China achievement is good, the crimes Chinese government has done shouldn't be ignored.
But the post is different. From the domain name, the "About Us" section of the website, the bias in the article. Clearly this was posted with an ill intention. A developer of a platform uses the platform to spread propaganda. Disgusting
I downvoted said post, but I hesitated to call it out. Because, I'm gonna be honest--I'm genuinely scared of interacting with those kind of people. And I don't want to have a deep discussion about politics or propaganda anyway. I'm not that kind of person.
This made me realize, I also don't tell people I use fediverse or don't reach out to other forums to open a community in Lemmy. This is because the fediverse, or at least Lemmy have a bad reputation: tankie.
There is a saying in my country that says "One person ate jackfruit, everyone got the sap". The genocide deniers ate the jackfruit, and everyone got the sap. The genocide deniers ruined fediverse's name and everyone else got the consequence. I don't wanna recommend people to use softwares made by those terrible people, and I doubt most people want to use softwares that has a reputation of being a genocide deniers playgrounds.
Honestly OP from the link in the post (https://feddit.org/post/4920887) kind of made a good point.
At this point, I would prefer just quitting Lemmy altogether.
But I remembered, the fediverse is an open source effort. I use open source software a lot. I feel like I need to give back something. And I have a community that still needed moderating.
And recently I found PieFed that is still in early days but show some great promise. I happen to understand HTMX (I use it in my personal projects) and Python (I learned it way back in junior high). Seems perfect to me, so I contributed one.
Honestly, it feels kinda unfair to me that software made by a genocide deniers gets the funding, meanwhile a software made by a good person (PieFed) has to be a hobby project.
You know what, disregard my previous comments and try creating the community. I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt.
What I'm kinda worried is the exact same kind of user mention in the post will post on the community. And I also have visited subreddit that calls out bad users in reddit in the past (like r/redditmoment for example) and I kinda don't like it, because to me it's kind of a waste of time. Probably a personal preference.
But if it calls out/exposes bad users in the community, probably good. Probably
@OpenStars@piefed.social because I'm not sure if PieFed can already mention user lol
Syncthing is one of the best software I used. I use it to sync my notes.
To me, good documentation is the number one thing that makes a selfhostable application good.
I agree. If you don't mind: what are your qualifications for good documentation? Do you have some good examples of good docs?
No, I don’t want a second container for a database.
Unless you're talking about using SQLite:
Isn't the point of Docker container is to only have one software/process running? I'm sure you can use something like s6 or other lightweight supervisor, but I feel like that's seems counterintuitive?
The plan for introducing liquid fission power to Indonesia has two parts. Phase 1 is to build and test a 500 MW Thorcon 500, with step by step commissioning, ending in an approved type license for future power plants. Phase 2 is shipyard production of six Thorcon 500 plants to help Indonesia’s utility company provide an additional 3 GW of cheap, reliable electric power to support economic development.
The conceptual design phase has been completed, computationally modeled, expressed in 2D drawings and 3D CAD models, and shared with potential suppliers. Suppliers’ cost estimates for future production versions are compatible with company estimates of electricity production costs, well under those from coal-fired power plants.
The 500 MW power plant will be built in a world-class shipyard experienced in high-quality, cost-competitive steel-working. ThorCon will rely on the yard for detailed design outside the Can, production scheduling, and much of the equipment purchasing functions. The shipyard will be ThorCon’s EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) contractor. The expensive, massive, precision supercritical steam turbine-generator must be pre-ordered to achieve the one-year shipyard build time.
The shipyard will construct and outfit the two hulls that comprise the Thorcon power plant. These are the steam module containing the supercritical steam turbine generator, and the nuclear module with two power modules, each with two replaceable Cans. The nuclear reactor Pots are in the Cans, which will be fabricated by companies with nuclear industry experience.
Non-fission testing. The first nuclear module produced by the shipyard will be outfitted with a Can for nonfission testing, without enriched uranium in the fuel salt. Electrically powered resistance heaters are sized to heat components up to operating temperatures.
The fuel salt will not contain enriched uranium and will not sustain a chain reaction to generate power. The components will be brought up to operating temperatures using electric heating. The absence of radioactivity allows intrusive instrumentation, direct observation, and internal access to components.
Extensive testing will include operating pumps at full temperatures and pressures, drains to drain tanks, actuation of shutdown rods, and instrumentation. Motors, pumps, seals, and valves for molten salt flows will be tested. Engineers will measure thermal expansion, confirm heat transfer rates, verify thermal hydraulics characteristics, test sensors, transfer molten salts between the Pot and fuel casks. System responses to simulated failures will be monitored closely.
If testing reveals needs for changes, the nuclear module and/or Can will be returned and revised by their manufacturers. Thorcon 500 prototype power plant at Kelasa Island, Indonesia
Fission testing. The ThorCon 500 nuclear module and steam module will be towed to the Indonesia near-shore site prepared with breakwaters and seawater cooling piping and a connection to the PLN electric power grid.
Step-by-step commissioning will then be used to gradually reduce uncertainties and increase fission power levels. Working closely with Indonesia’s nuclear regulator (Bapeten) and expert test approvals committee (TAP), ThorCon engineers will proceed with step by step commissioning, fueling the plant, bringing the reactor to zero-power criticality, then increasing power levels as testing confirms safe, effective power generation.
Stress tests. ThorCon is designed to react safely to many operational events and failures. Demonstrating safety is important to public acceptance of fission power. Test examples include sudden loss of load, overheating the fuelsalt, losing chimney radiator cooling, and failure of shutdown rods. These tests are possible because of multiple layers of defense in the design. The TAP must pre-approve all such tests, continuing the step by step commissioning process.
Mass production. When testing is successfully completed, the company expects Indonesia’s Bapeten regulator to refine its regulations and issue a type license citing the design as safe for similar future power plants. Indonesia’s PLN utility company will sign a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Thorcon, which will build, install, and operate 3 GW of additional Thorcon 500 power plants. The PPA will enable financing with traditional loans. As these plants are put into operation the company expects world-wide orders for such shipyard-constructed power plants that deliver nonstop electric energy cheaper than coal.
Oh wow I completely forgot lol
