I don't know anymore. It's hard to get any tech devices these days unless they're made locally. Ever since the pandemic scare, many items are scarce so, one has to buy what's available, instead of what one needs or wants. However, when there is an abundance of choice, I chose the most sturdy metallic headphones I can find. even if they lack some features, since I know that they'll last longer than the plastic items being sold everywhere. I've broken so many of them that I realize that I need hardened headphones. Headphones that can take punishment.
@KingSoldier@iddqd.social yup, I can't wait until Viktor lands on his feet. Obviously were going to need secure commo before I get his number. It's like that saying, I always keep hearing, "All's fair, in love and war." Also, why would we, on the one hand, know that the government operatives are liars, and then we broadcast and believe their lies. We can't have it both ways. If the feds are liars, then everything they said about this guy is made up. Just like they did with ConVid-19, just like they did to Trump, just like they lie about everything. I mean it's fun to mock Biden for getting the shitty end of the deal, but we know that there is a real possibility, that they're lying, to some degree about this guy. If they're not, then we just have them all wrong then.
Well yes, I haven't been accepting registrations, that's probably why. Look, you're just going to have to take my word for it or not, either way, I'm happy about it.
The easiest way to install all the addons is to gain access to the Admin menu, which is located on the menu at the top left, right where your profile photo is, about five paces down. Once you're in the Admin menu choose Addons and install the ones you want. I suggest Activitypub Friendica, Diaspora to begin with but I installed all of them except for the shopping cart.
Okay, when you rest up just install the addons. You're going to want to enable and install the activity pub add on that way you can interact with the fediverse.
Another important file to worry about is .htconfig.php which will only be created after you confirm the name of the database and database user. You want to change the line that says App::$config['system']['verify_email'] = 0; to this: App::$config['system']['verify_email'] = 1; That way you'll be able to log into your instance by recieving a access code and log in right then without any hassle. Because if you don't do this, and since you dont have a SMTP server set up, you wont get an email anyway and you'll be unable to log in otherwise. So that step is important. Oh there's also a cron job you need to set up so that your instance will update to the newest version automatically. All this info, except the part about the .htconfig.php can be found in the install directory, install/INSTALL.txt. Just a heads up. Take your time when you do it and you'll be fine.
You're welcome dude, I love Hubzilla and I thougt that it would be impossible to set one up for myself. I was wrong. If you clone the repo from https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core.git just cd into .homeinstall and read the README.md file for instructions. Also, be sure to read the file install/INSTALL.txt for things you may want to do after your installation, just to get a heads up.
@joaopinheiro@zotum.net no Hubzilla is light on resources and you'll find all the info to deploy an instance in the .homeinstall directory. Oh and when you get your instance up and running, don't let the people at the Hubzilla support forum know that I said anything, because they all think that I'm a Nazi racist scumbag because of my domain name. Anyhow I have two hubzilla instances running because I love it so much. You can run an instance on one of those Linodes with 1GB Ram 25GB storage for $5/month. You're welcome.
I always feel safer knowing that capable men such as Viktor are out and about in the world. One never knows when one will be in need of a competent arms dealer. In times of tyranny and war, such men are highly prized. I hope he's still in business.
@Crow do you somehow imagine that by disliking my comments, that they'll be erased from everyone's consciousness? I'm going to continue to use Hubzilla and Streams for as long as I keep finding them interesting and fun. I don't care who else loves them or uses them. It will have no effect on me whatsoever. I know good products when I see them and use them. Horses aren't the only beings that can be led to water and not be forced to drink. I didn't need anyone pointing me towards Hubzilla, maybe Hubzilla found me. It's a brilliant product and people either use it or use whatever they please. My choice is evident. I don't require anyone's acceptance of the products and services that I find useful. The majority of people don't use Linux or Hubzilla. One can speculate as to the many reasons why. Perhaps, most people are just very smart.
The daunting task of learning any new task, skill or program depends on many variables. When I started using Hubzilla I wasn't impressed. I thought the user interface was outdated and I approached it with scepticism. However once I started using it I realised both its limitations and mine. I soon realised that those limitations were only singular, the limitations were all mine. For years I wanted to set up my own hub but I didn't know the right places to look at the time. I imagined that it would be an almost impossible task. Eventually, while searching around in my cloned git repository, I found .homeinstall and I realised that was a huge part of the documentation that I needed to start.
I learned about Hubzilla, perhaps, only a year and a half ago. I never knew that Zap or Streams even existed until perhaps two months ago maybe a little more. Now, I've installed all of them multiple times on multiple machines and the more I work with it, the more I learn. Obviously, I don't understand everything that I can do with them but my interest in the subject had nothing to do with how simple or hard it was to learn. I saw a product, with potential and I fell for it. As much as people, for whatever reasons, need others to accept the same things that they like because it's for the right reasons, people will find their way to where they fit in. I stopped using Microsoft Windows and Apple computers to use Linux in 1998 and back then it was an uphill battle getting anything to work intuitively. I and many others stuck with it and many people avoided it. No amount of wishing people will adopt the technology that you know is better, is going to get them to do so, if they're not interested enough to explore. People do the things that they're most interested in, autonomously. If they quit, it's because they've given up.
