I also had issues while making an account there.
I think federation is actually undesirable in this case. Most Discord communities are very particular, and I’d be making one just for my friends and me, no need to complicate things by introducing federation.
I don’t. I ignore the news to the best of my ability. I can’t be misinformed if I’m not informed in the first place.
Or we could finally rip off the bandaid and move to IPv6
I’m sure it is but I have an iphone
It’s already hard enough for self-hosters and small online communities to deal with spam from fleshbags, now we’re being swarmed by clankers. I have a little Mediawiki to document my deranged maladaptive daydreams worldbuilding and conlanging projects, and the only traffic besides me is likely AI crawlers.
I hate this so much. It’s not enough that huge centralized platforms have the network effect on their side, they have to drown our quiet little corners of the web under a whelming flood of soulless automata.
Update: I got Mumble working without a lot of grief. Their mobile client isn’t great though. I might try Stoat.
Federation just complicates things, as it’s just for a myself and a few friends.
I haven’t messed with Ansible in a bit. Do you mean playbook? Or is cookbook some other concept I haven’t learned about yet?
Good bot
Try learning the language.
An iPhone. I’ve tried Android 3 separate times, a Nexus 5, 6P, and Pixel 3A XL, and I keep crawling back to pay the Apple tax.
Although the accessibility features have replaced several assistive devices that each cost several times the price of the iPhone, so it’s a matter of perspective.
Nowadays everyone accepted the name “Discord” but I think it’s a pretty poor choice of branding too.
A terrible name for an app meant to facilitate communication. Always baffled me. But the name is so widely recognized that nobody thinks twice about it.
I always thought Noosphere would make a cool name for a Discord replacement, especially if it incorporates a way to permanently catalog the knowledge accrued by the community, say as a built-in wiki. That might actually make it viable as a support platform.
Why federate if you’re just expecting a small group of friends to use it?
So no mini PC then? I’d have to build a tower I suppose.
Don’t own one yet. But I guess USB?
The sad part is VR has excellent accessibility applications. I have a head-mounted magnifier that’s just a Samsung Gear headset and cheap phone with some gubbinz stuck on the side. (Let’s ignore the fact the magnifier costs $3000 when the components cost maybe $700-$K tops, but that’s assistive tech for ya). If VR really went mainstream It would help reduce the cost of the AT that relies on it.
Now if only we could find a mainstream market appeal for tiny piezoelectric crystals then braille displays could stop costing an arm and a leg.
“unexploitable backdoor” is a contradiction.
There’s a reason why Apple is the poster child for accessibility. They control the entire stack from hardware to OS, and have an ocean of money to devote to what is effectively a tiny marginalized portion of their user base.
Open source is the exact opposite. Any given open source project (especially any given Linux distro) is standing atop a precarious mound of other open source projects that the distro maintainers themselves have no control over. So when accessibility breaks, the maintainers say “It’s not us, it’s GNOME”. Then GNOME says “It’s not us, it’s Wayland”, and so on.
Imagine I handed you a laptop without a working screen, then when you complain you can’t use it, I said “It’s not my problem” or “We’ll get to it eventually” or “I wouldn’t know how to help you” That’s desktop Linux when you’re blind.
Apologies if this comes across as a rant. I’m just bitter about the fact there’s all this free, privacy-respecting software out there that’s out of my reach, and I’m stuck selling my soul to Microsoft and Apple.
why would you go with a proprietary OS?
I’m happy with my Unifi network and security setup, especially the single pain of glass. I had assumed the NAS would integrate with that system, but it doesn’t seem to.
No longer true
Does TruNAS support this feature?
Related, will TruNAS work on a mini PC with an attached DAS?
Honestly, Discord does a lot of different things, and replacing all of them with one easy package will be next to impossible. IIRC Discord was never even profitable, so it was impossible even for them.
