#askfedi : when you refresh collation on a #postgresql database after an os upgrade, is there a way to refresh collation on the replicate without launching a full pg_basebackup ?

#askfedi What is the best oldschool #forum software one can self-host on a small server?

"Best" as in some tradeoff of the following:

* bugfree (or not many bugs)
* safe, as in no or no discovered CVEs
* features for users, mods and admins
* maintainability
* safe, as in allows invite-only, and maybe review posts before being actually visible

Background is, that I have been thinking about hosting one for a long time, but it would probably be only for friends and friends of friends.

I don't have a Raspberry Pi 5 yet, but I'm really curious about its potential as a media center. Has anyone experimented with using the Pi 5 for 4K streaming, light retro gaming, or other applications? I'd love to hear your experiences!

Help a writer out, please. I’m writing a humorous cosy sci-fi murder mystery.

I have a character who is an absolute delight. He’s affirming and wholesome. He’s a monk. I need help naming his religious order. It’s the Siblinghood of the [adjective] [noun].

Suggestions? Please and thanks.

Question for Tusky Lists: I've moved stuff over to a list, but how do I remove those accounts from my Home timeline?

How would you improve upon the current state of portable computers?

#AskFedi : How to bulk download all emails in inbox from #Yahoo email? I confess, I do not have a good habit of archiving and backing-up my emails. Now my inbox is booming and reaching ~10k emails since I have subscribed to a few mail lists. I do have #Alpine set up locally on my laptop to read them once in a while. I tried Select All and Save in Alpine however it is too slow and easily fail simply because it took so long that remote server would kill the connection.

What is one book that positively shaped who you are as a person and how did it influence you? At what point in your life did you read it?

Fiction, non-fiction, graphic novel, audiobook: however you define "book" for yourself is fine with me.

If you click on a link in a Bluesky post, it is now automatically redirected via the domain go.bsky.app before it actually goes to the link in the post. There is no way to stop this or know that it is happening as the redirect only flickers on the screen for a fraction of a second.

Presumably this means Bluesky can now track all link clicking on their platform, including IP addresses, destinations etc?

Or have I misunderstood?

Bluesky is spinning it as a tool for publishers to track referrals, but going beyond the spin it seems to be giving Bluesky access to people's online activity?

Are there any meds autistic people take to reduce the sensitivity of all of their senses ? 🤔

#askFedi :
je cherche un remplacant à Uptime kuma.

cahier des charges :
il doit monitorer des urls simple en https.
il doit pouvoir historiser l'uptime sur 1 an (c'est le point qui fache avec kuma).
il doit pouvoir mettre des messages de services.
il doit etre libre et auto-hébergable (sur du linux).
en plus mais pas obligatoire:
idéalement, il gère un historique des messages de service

voilà, si vous trouvez la perle idéale, je vous payes une bière ( ou verre du liquide de votre choix).

hm, is it a good idea to self host some XMPP server? What would be a nice one?

Does anyone know of a MacOS (Ventura) app I can have on my own hard drive that doesn't cost a fortune, that will allow me to download YouTube and other online videos? Something for regular ol' people, not programmers/scripters? No git hub?

An org I spoke for put the video up, but did not give me a copy so I'd like to download it.

I used to use Softorino's YT downloader, which I PAID for, but then they decided to go SaaS and iced out all their paid users who got it before.#AskFedi #MacOS

Is there a term for the exit-oriented libertarian-funded startup?
I guess that's what "startup" means, forsooth. But I guess I'm fishing for a derogatory connotation.

Bonjour,

ce matin un projet qui vient d'outre mer !

du coup, je me lance dans des recherches pour un hebergement de machines (surement virtuelles) en guyane et en martinique...
Je vais faire mon travail et chercher les internets mais j'ai une question :

Est ce que vous avez des experiences, bonnes ou mauvaises avec des hebergeurs locaux ? (et si oui, lesquels?)

j'ai conscience qu'il doit pas y avoir beaucoup de personnes de là bas dans mes followers, alors reboost/repouet/partage encouragé/apprécié.
En plus, le repouet met fin à la colonisation 😉

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?

All of the sometimes-nonsense questions I've learned to ask since using #ChatGPT will now be posted in #askfedi first before I consult the AI.

Does anyone here have information about the status of Matrix-WhatsApp bridging/interoperability? (Maybe @matrix?) 🤔

Ads coming to WhatsApp is making me much more frustrated than I already was. I haven’t been updating the app since the introduction of Meta AI, but now WhatsApp is demanding that I update within 15 days or I won’t be able to use the app anymore.

So, the time has come: I have two weeks to backup and quit WhatsApp for good.

Since I’m here: could I also ask for your advice for local-only, not cloud, software that can backup ALL my #WhatsApp chats and store them locally in a browsable format/database? I found out about WhatsApp-Chat-Chat-Exporter but I’d like to learn more before testing it out.

Boosts welcome, let’s help each other and resist the broligarchy together! ✨

Damn, we wouldn’t have all this trouble if only the #DMA was actually enforced 🤬

#AskFedi do you know anyone with a federated Wordpress site who uses it extensively? Not just for publishing straight to the Fediverse, but also in a social way (aka as a fedi profile)?

I've run into a few roadblocks with mine and I could really use some inspiration 😊​
