People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I used it before and unfortunately, it sucks in comparison to Kagi.

That's why I use Kagi. It's a paid search engine and the results are actually really good.

As a European, I don't get what this means.

Thank you very much for the hint, I checked out the red lentil curry video and it does look quite delicious. Chicken curry is actually my favorite food and I tried green, brown and red lentil curry before, but didn't quite like them, even though I'm half asian, lol. I'll try her recipe, though.

I personally love coconut milk.

C/politics@lemmy.world being US only is weird in c/general@lemmy.world

Probably not hard. But that doesn't solve the problem that a generic term is used for something US only on a platform that isn't US first.

Seems to be pretty american. I'm from Germany and never had that.

Seems like it. That's sad, because it seems to be a very nice project and I'm still waiting for a FOSS keyboard that supports german and japanese input in one.

Well, it's open source, so anyone can continue working on it.

No, it's about Americans always thinking they come first. I was told so many times that "rEdDiT Is aN AmErIcAn wEbSiTe"... But now, they can't pull that shit any more.

I say rename the communities.

Sorry, I'm trying. Honestly. I'm looking for vegan and vegetarian recipes and while it usually tastes "fine", it's mostly just "meh".

I don't get the hype for things like lentils or quinoa either. Both are "meh" at best.

So far, I'm unable to find meat-free recipes that truly satisfy me.

And no, I'm not a bad cook.

Tell me your reasonably priced vegan and vegetarian recipes that little children will eat, too. Serious request.

Jokes aside, this is very concerning. And sad. Humanity will never be able to pull on one string.

1Password vs BitWarden in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] NettoHikari@social.fossware.space 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, I'm using Vaultwarden as lightweight alternative to the Bitwarden server.

I'm saying I don't trust 1Password. The OP asked for 1Password vs. Bitwarden. To me, Vaultwarden = Bitwarden and 1Password = Closed source crap.

Server Maintenance and Upgrade finished (Lemmy 0.18.0) (social.fossware.space)
 

Edit: Updated lemmy to 0.18.1.rc.10 and lemmy-ui to 0.18.1.rc.11. ARM64 images on Docker Hub.

Hello, guys.

As you might've noticed by the downtime, I decided to upgrade the server today, because I pretty much failed yesterday, due to migraine.

👍 Good news: The server is now running the latest version of Lemmy, 0.18.0.

👎 Bad news: There are still some issues that may or may not affect usability. But so far, things seem to be pretty minor.

This version of Lemmy brings a bunch of performance- and usability optimizations, for instance:
  • WebUI looks sleeker
  • Better editor
  • Resubscribing to Communities that show "Subscribe Pending" should actually subscribe now (works with lemmy.ml communities, but not lemmy.world, for instance, partially fixes this)
  • 2 factor authentication (2FA) is now a thing*
  • Custom emojis are now possible (maybe someone wants to make some FOSS emojis?)
  • Improved error messages (no more white screens)
  • Error messages during login and registration are finally fixed (fixes this)
Some issues I encountered so far:
  • CAPTCHAs were patched out temporarily, so we're going to switch to manual approval in the meantime (GitHub Issue)
  • "couldnt_find_object" error during search (GitHub Issue)
  • *2FA implementation is not well done for non-tech-savyy users and might lead to self-lockout until password reset is issued (GitHub Issue)

⚠️ In case you encounter more issues, please let me know by commenting underneath this post or by posting in /c/fossware_support.

Updated lemmy to 0.18.1.rc.10 and lemmy-ui to 0.18.1.rc.11. ARM64 images on Docker Hub.

(Semi-complete) [Saturday, 5 pm UTC+2] Planned Maintenance Work and System Upgrade (Don't update Jerboa yet!) (social.fossware.space)
 

**Edit 4: As you can see, we're finally on version 0.18.0. Due to the ARM64 architechture, I indeed had to jump through some hoops. Lemmy's documentation is absolutely worthless, as well. I guess it's been written by someone who didn't even test if the steps they describe actually work.

But well, here we are. Some images are not visible right now. Need to check out what's going on here.**

~~Edit 3: I kinda regret getting an ARM server for Lemmy now. Reverted my changes and went back to 0.17.3 for now. I'll either wait for an official 0.18.0 ARM64 image or switch to a server on AMD64 basis.~~

~~Edit 2: Now fiddling with the system. Please expect a couple outages over the next hour or two~~.

~~Edit: This is going to be delayed, because I suffered a hefty migraine attack today and am still very groggy now after it subsided. I'm sorry, I'll most likely do this later tonight or on Monday.~~

Hello everyone,

as Lemmy version 0.18.0 was released today, I'm planning to upgrade this instance to it tomorrow during the day.

⚠️ An outage is to be expected on Saturday at around 17:00 (5:00 pm) UTC+2 and may last from a couple minutes at best to an hour at worst. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. 🤞

📱 If you're using the Jerboa Android application to access FOSSware, we recommend to NOT update it to the latest version until the server has been sucessfully upgraded to Lemmy 0.18.0, as the latest version of Jerboa dropped support for Lemmy 0.17.x.

❤️ I wish you all a great weekend!

Further Technical ExplainationThis Lemmy instance runs within a Docker container on an arm64v8 host.

Usually, Docker images are provided by the Lemmy developers for amd64 and arm64, but an issue seems to prevent the arm64 Docker images from being created since Lemmy version 0.17.4. This is also the reason why this instance is still running version 0.17.3.

I'm going to take some time and build this thing myself in order to upgrade this instance, which might take some blood sacrifices, sweat and might also have me to jump through some hoops on fire and whatnot.

New Moderator appointed! Hello, Astral Moira! (social.fossware.space)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by NettoHikari@social.fossware.space to c/fossdroid@social.fossware.space

Hello, community!

After reading about all the things that Reddit has done to alienate their userbase (hostility towards moderators that put thousands of hours of volunteer work into their site, blatantly claiming their userbase's content as theirs, not respecting the choice of their userbase when it comes to content deletion, etc.), I'm currently planning to start a larger offensive on r/fossdroid to create more attention for Lemmy.

In order to moderate and promote this community, as well as this instance, I just appointed Astral Moira (@ostrich, u/ubertr0_n on Reddit) as moderator and 2nd instance administrator.

I always noticed on Reddit that Astral Moira has very broad knowledge about FOSS and is very passionate about it, so I think, they're a good fit!

Suspicious Instances are now being defederated automatically (social.fossware.space)
 

Hey guys!

Thanks to the awesome Lemmy Overseer (GitHub) project and as an effort to block off instances with too lax sign up policies and therefore too many bot accounts, such instances will now be blocked / defederated automatically.

FOSSware defederates such instances temporarily, as we believe that the users should decide what they want to see and what not.

Unverified Accounts will now be removed periodically (social.fossware.space)
 

Hey, guys.

After noticing that accounts registered by bots (before enabling CAPTCHA) count towards this instance's user count, skewing the statistics, I just implemented a job in the backend that'll remove accounts with unverified e-mail addresses after 1 day.

CAPTCHAs enabled for now (social.fossware.space)
 

Hey there!

We're experiencing a high frequency of failed bot account signups since around 2 hours or so. They're all using random names with the same pattern and random GMail e-mail addresses.

In an effort to combat this and to prevent GMail from rate-limiting our mail server, I just enabled CAPTCHAs during registration for now.

In case you experience an issue during registration, please e-mail admin fossware space. Thank you!

Technical stuffI'm going to see wether or not it'd be feasible to connect Fail2Ban to Lemmy in order to stop sign ups like that.

I'll go ahead and remove the accounts that were created from the database.

Reminder: You MAY create Communities (Subreddits) here, if you want! (social.fossware.space)
 

Hey!

The title says it: Anyone can create communities (subreddits) on FOSSware and moderate them, just as on Reddit.

People can access your communities by typing !yourcommunity@social.fossware.space in the search bar of their instance.

To create a community, click on "Create Community" in the navigation bar and let's gooo~

And yes, we also allow NSFW and controversial topics, as long as no rules or laws are broken. If you're unsure, message me or post in /c/fossware_support first.

Privacy-respecting Frontends for popular Services run by FOSSware now available! (Teddit, Nitter, Piped) (social.fossware.space)
 

Hey, community.

As previously announced in our migration post on Reddit, FOSSware now also sports instances of alternative front-ends for popular services like Reddit, Twitter and YouTube that are known to violate your privacy and freedom by tracking you.

By design, these alternative front-ends don't allow you to log in to your accounts, if you have any. However, there's usually a way to configure them and export your preferences.

In case of Piped, you can even create an account on our Piped instance.

Please be aware that any of these tools may be rate-limited at any time. In this case, you may have to try a different instance.
