@evan that assumption about relays is so wrong.... Many people use them on single user instances to actually GET content, so they can start using the fedivers

@evan https://github.com/social-web-foundation/tags.pub/commit/3f862a644e94e46aa64a615f5d4dfcbe742a9162 seems like you changed how open relays are used with tags.pub, thank you!

@matty @alice

@peertube I have a "recurring live" stream on my peertube instance that automatically saves a vod.
VOD Transcoding is enabled and set to 1080p and audio-only, and "keep a version of the input file" is disabled and "Also transcoe original resolution" is disabled.
Nevertheless after transcoding there's also always a 1440p video file left over that is the source. And when the remote runner is transcoding I see that there's always a job for the 1440p file.
What can I do to stop that?

@soatok do you have a link to what's wrong with OpenPGP? I really like delta chat, but they also rely on OpenPGP. But of course say that's fine https://delta.chat/en/help#openpgp-secure
And me as someone who doesn't understand anything about cryptography would really appreciate a professional explaining what's wrong (but I don't want to take up too much of your time)

@aral I've pushed the move to @Codeberg too long now already. Now I've put a date in my calendar to finally do it!

@delta I was surprised about the removal of the locks on encrypted messages. I always liked that as extra confirmation even knowing that it is encrypted.

@gamingonlinux You've got "Fedora-Based" on the "Linux distribution (combined) share on Steam over time" graph, but the line doesn't seem to be anywhere (not even at 0), is that correct?

@gamingonlinux I agree in parts. If there's an original linkable source it should be the one used.
And imho if a newssite gets linked, the mods should at maximum edit the post and add the original source if it's linkable.

EDIT: "At Maximum" means here that there should not be further steps like blocking a news site or removing their link (at least not if it's not spreading malware or something)

EDIT2: But I don't use reddit anyway so what do I know :ha:

@gamingonlinux SteamVR has gotten a lot of github activity recently, and them also always making VR changes to proton makes me hope that there's a standalone steamOS based headset in the works... would love something like that!

@gamingonlinux I usually don't expect a reply from you, answering to news articles is more therapy for me than the request for an actual reply :ha:

Moving away from ProtonMail I looked at several options. Changing email addresses everywhere when I change providers seemed so unflexible, so I've set up a #selfhosted @simplelogin instance and moved all my aliases there.
Right now my default mailbox points to @Tutanota but changing email providers is just changing the address of the default mailbox in my SL instance!
And I can even use PGP between SL and the mailbox, if there are add-ins or the provider supports it ootb.

@apps they seem to have that for a long time, since I remember setting up a list like this when I first started with mastodon a year ago :ha:

@apps but I have that option without using an app 🤔

@apps what's different with that function compared to just enable "hide these posts from home" in a list?

@dansup I'm intrigued by the Kickstarter tag but I don't know what this is about?

@sam thanks Sam! I knew what Dan does, but I didn't know about the Kickstarter.
@dansup I think the KS should be pinned on your profile while it's running!

@protonprivacy @Infoseepage @molly0xfff while it may be a coincidence, the account being created as an reaction to what's been happening and being created for a person that says he's very privacy focused but CONTAINS HIS BIRTHDATE makes this an less believable coincidence. Even if it might be one. I would not care if it was for a different reason and for a different person, but just the combination of those two things really hurt your organization.

@_elena mastodon caches everything you see, that's why I've set my retention rate so low. But if you don't have a relay server connected like I have (something that "forcefully" connects you to other active servers) it shouldn't be that much. It could be that Bridgy Fed does that or that GoToSocial has something like that built in?

@_elena enjoy the search 🧐 maybe as reference: My mastodon DB with 1 user is 12GB, and my server has a very low content retention time (7 days for remote images)
