Yep. Got such a service as well. I’ve got this one docker container that’s supposed to connect to a VPN and provide access from the outside to another one. The bitch keeps just crashing to a point where even “restart policy: always” will give up on it. Doesn’t matter too much usually, since I can start the container before I need it, and it will usually run for half a day or so, yet still
So if piracy was “widespread and natural” it’d be bueno?
thanks for your detailed answer :) So it’s really just another “Solution in search of a problem” kind of deal, since the whole concept “decentralises” a conecpt that is already decentralised (BitTorrent) but with a little Cryptocurrency because of course it has Crypto.
Now I just need to find out what Piped does with it, since all it’s content is supposed to be on YouTube, right? So searching for content can’t be it’s purpose… I think.
Well… that’s one way to answer someone who very clearly asks “I did some searching but couldn’t understand the results, please explain what’s going on to me”.
Yeah, that goes for any data though. The question was more if Immich is really so unstable that it might just shred your images because it had a bad day. And to that I can say: no, it won’t. Yet, photos are very important to many people, so they put that warning there.
The PDF situation all over again
Oh, it is silly and it is stupid. Yet, it’s how EA acted under Johnny here. That’s the time they were regularly voted as the worst US company. They pulled this with so many things (“Fun surprise mechanics”)
So the Unity stakeholders were less willing to let John do the "if you want something no one’s gonna accept, announce something even more horrible and then release a ‘we heard you’ statement where you announce the thing you wanted in the first place as comprise " bullcrap?
Yes, people here are absolutely fine with that. You probably come from a very different world culture-wise. First of all, second jobs are not the norm here. It’s rather rare, actually and most second jobs are hobbies you take money for, like photography or the like. Your employer will almost certainly not even bother to ask any further.
Secondly: your employer cannot object just because they don’t like your face. There are set criteria. They will object if your second job would conflict directly with your first job, that’d be if you work at a competitor, would have work hours in your second job that conflict with those of your first job or would work too much all together. That’s it.
There is a minimum wage that’s not too shabby (not good, make no mistake, but will prevent you from going hungry) and if a person is working but under the existential minimum, the government will basically put them on unemployment benefits and top up their salary to bring them up to said minimum. The system has faults, yes, and most people will do everything on their power to not be dependent on the government for that, but it will keep (cheap) food in the fridge.
cd “$1” && docker-compose up -d
Exactly, yes. The same goes for working more than 10hrs in a single day.
Edit: that does not apply to self-employed people. So if you work 90 hrs in your own company, that’s fine.
Just wanted to add that part of this may be a culture thing. Here in Germany, you are required to get your employers permission to get a second job or the like. Many of you might instinctively find this corporate BS, but in reality it’s mainly worker’s protection. No employee is allowed to work over 60 (I think) hours in a week. To make the companies stick to that, the government will come for them if any worker exceeds this number. Your employer has the responsibility to not let you exceed that, even across multiple jobs. That’s why you have to get permission for side hustles. There are other (not so pro worker) reasons for this, but that would go too far. Suffice to say that Lütke is German and this might be some thing he brought from Germany.
Yes and no. Coding a bot that actually runs reliably when dealing with mass-inputs to other servers isn’t as easy as having users do the stuff for free. Time isn’t important to them I guess. Plus: As an added bonus you get the “embrace, divide and conquer” approach that has worked for services like XMPP for example.
Yes, you can. Yet, that will not give you the interaction history (who liked what and such) and is way less convenient to do compared to “set up ActivityPub in own app real quick and have the whole fediverse send shit to me nicely formatted with interaction data ready to be used”. Legal issues arise in some spots when doing web-scraping-things like when you copy and use copyrighted imagery or happen to scrape stuff you weren’t allowed to see for some reason.
All of those hurdles are out of the way automatically when you literally just use the inner workings of the service the data is from. No user can complain when Mate collects data sent to them via ActivityPub. That is literally what this protocol is used to do and the inner core of any application running it. If you don’t want your data to be sent to other instances around the world: Don’t use the protocol, right?
They can get the data in many different ways, this is just the most convenient one.
Or they can sloppily slam a little ActivityPub into their new attack on Twitter, use the fediverse’s anti-giant-corp-shenanigans-image for advertising ("Have you heard of the super open and user-run and “good” and super data protective fediverse thing? You can have that through us and it will still feel like the big-corp-world you are used to but shomehow make you feel all anti-capitalism and warm inside! DOWNLOAD TODAY!), boost the availability of content from launch and then, as the cherry on top, eliminate the need for any real ressources that would be required to scrape the web and avoid any legal issues that come with that. ActivityPub will make the rest of the fediverse bring all that content to them free of charge. NO APIs, nothing to call, nothing to monitor. The ActivityPub component on their end just needs to be running and all that nice, juicy user data from people who did not want them to have their data will come rushing in just like that.
They could do classic web crawling, yes. But that is -super slow -easy to detect -easy to block -illegal for companies to do for the sake of selling shit in many places, since the users have not given you consent to use their data
I think they try to pull the WhatsApp stunt here: when you sign up to WhatsApp, WhatsApp will send your whole contact list to Meta and update it on every change in order to “connect the phone numbers on your phone with WhatsApp users” (or so they say). They have structured this process in a way that they’re not at fault, but the user is. Since the user “sent” them the numbers, they are not the ones who need consent to use the data, the user needed that. Same with the fediverse. “No. We didn’t steal any data without consent! Our users should have had that consent when they subscribed to technology@lemmy.world! The data was pushed to us from there, we ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong!”
Oh, I don’t think they’re threatened by the fediverse either. I think that there is no chance in hell that they have not built some tool internally that will try to funnel every bit of data on the fediverse into their data pools, using users as a means to get the instances they want to scrape to deliver the data to them without any consent of the other instance’s users whatsoever.
So are you looking to connect storage to it and run local media or are you looking more for a streaming thing to play Netflix and such?
