    I exported ALL my emails from my Gmail account. It's over 2 GB of stuff, i've had the account for probably 20 years? This move is one step towards closing it, at some point. I will delete all the exported emails now.Anyway. The archive was delivered in a .mbox file and I'm wondering if the fediverse knows of a tool, software or anything (preferably run locally) to browse my archive on my laptop (it' got Mint).Boosts very welcome, thank you! ❤️‍🔥[EDIT] Thank you everyone! It appears the most obvious piece of software is also the right now: my complete archive is now orderly browsable with Thunderbird. One more step towards freeeedomm! 🧚#fedihelp #gmail #fuckGoogle #google

    I think I have identified a fairly significant flaw in how the #Fediverse currently operates. Hear me out.The Fediverse currently consists of all sorts of different systems - #Mastodon, #Friendica , #Pixelfed , #PeerTube, #BookWyrm , and so forth. And while they are all connected via the #ActivityPub protocol, they all have different functionalities and different ways of presenting themselves. Which is as it should be, because Diversity Is Our Strength(TM).However, it is here that the ActivityPub-based interactivity hits its limits - for usually, you can either experience the relevant system as it was intended, or you can interact with it, but not both - _unless_ you have an account on the same system (though not necessarily on the same instance).Let's say that you are a Mastodon user who looks at another person's BookWyrm page. You scroll through their books, posts, and comments. Then you see some comment you want to comment on yourself, but can you do so?Not directly. You need to figure out the URL of their comment, and then copy and paste that comment into the search bar of your Mastodon instance. Then it will show up in the same format as a Mastodon post, and you can interact with it - boost it, like it, comment on it.Sure, it works, but it's a whole lot of tedious effort.Or you can search for the user account in Mastodon and scroll through all their posts and comments as if they were a Mastodon user - and thus, you will miss out on all the unique user interface features of BookWyrm.So what is missing?Well, Mastodon already has an "Open original page" feature when looking at someone's post. What we need is an "Open original page AND AUTHENTICATE" feature. This way, the target instance (whatever software they are using) could acknowledge the viewer as an external user who could nevertheless fully interact with the local user interface, including the ability to boost, like, and make comments.This is something that should be theoretically possible to implement, right? #FediHelp

    In our quest to move away from GitHub, we have a working self-hosted cgit instance as well as a runner for CI.The last missing piece is to find a way to safely expose it to the world.Are there any good Cloudflare alternatives to protect the origin?Tor works fine, but I would like to also be reachable from the clearnet.#SelfHosting #DevOps #FediHelp
