@axel @koen @fediversity or 'please hand us your government identification' for verification.
@wsslmn @koen @fediversity
At least then you know your users are not dogs 🐕! -
@rriemann @fediversity it is backed by oid.foundation
@koen @rriemann @fediversity is there a donation link or something to support?

Dear #fosfem people. There is a massive #pixelfed server now in Europe: https://pixelfed.com open for everyone (just people, no organsations).
Hosted from the Netherlands under Dutch law and funded by the @fediversity project.
Please enter a human reason when onboarding (due to AI slop we must do that).
Do join and boost please. 🙏🏻
@koen Beetje lullig, misschien, maar waarom een .com domein voor een Europese server? .com is immers een toplevel domein dat door de VS wordt beheerd...

@retech @fediversity that is incorrect we will have a look at the terms on Monday, it’s probably a result of an upgrade of the software.
@koen @fediversity cheers

@bloodymirova @rriemann @fediversity
there is not yet. All costs are covered by the @EUCommission @fediversity project for now, so don't worry about it right now.

@koen @fediversity How did you implement approvals? I can't find that anywhere in my instance settings? Or maybe it's there but won't allow listing in the directory if I enable it ..?
There is a team of about 5 people that checks the new submissions for a few things:
1. is this a real human
2. is this not an organization
3. does this person not impersonate anyoneIf the answer to those questions is yes the account is approved.
The rest of the moderation is based on people reporting to us that something is not according to the rules, after which we will check if that is so and take appropriate action.

@koen yeah, this sounds nice. is it you who is responsible? @fediversity
This server has been setup as part of the
@fediversity project in collaboration with @dansup who also supplies the pixelfed.com domainname. -
@koen @fediversity wanted to sign up and it threw me out because at the end it tells me my user name is invalid. Tja. I don't want to go through all that sign up again. It is not user friendly, if you are not showing at once, when a form field input is not valid.
agreed. The signup process can be improved. Would you be so kind as to provide me with some more detail in private?
-
@koen @fediversity doesn't the .com TLD mean a bit of a vulnerability to US control?
Indeed the .tld domain was not our first choice. But is is very short and @dansup had it available, so we chose to use it.
We might start some more 'themed' pixelfed servers as part of the @fediversity project with the .eu domainname, but at least you can now try out pixelfed.com while your data is being governed by a Dutch foundation that has Privacy and democratic values at the core of it's existance.

agreed. The signup process can be improved. Would you be so kind as to provide me with some more detail in private?
@koen no need to do it in private: just do the checking process for every field when one jumps to the next field. So people see at once, oh, my name as a character in it, that isn't allowed, like mine: energisch_ - it isn't allowed according to those rules to have a special character at the end of the name.
What happened: I filled out all forms, added my lengthy reason for joining and wanted to submit the form. Then the error message came. When I wanted to go back to change my name

@fediversity@koen everything was gone. I would have to fill out everything again, not knowing, if my next 'mistake' will again have the same results.
That's rather frustrating.
Flash or mark in red every field of the form when there is an error at once, so people can remedy that at once. A lot less frustration. -
Fair enough, I think, however then did the emphasis should be still on creating a broad spectrum of what I prefer to call communities rather than servers.
It’s more human. The foremost focus should be on distributed in the fediverse
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @Stoori @fediversity
and with this too we fully agree. Would you like to 'manage' the non-technical part of such a community/server? We can take care of the technical part from the @fediversity project.

@koen @fediversity @internet_nl ❤️! Zou helemaal mooi zijn als op termijn Cloudflare 🇺🇲 daar ook tussenuit kan!
@wouterkobes @fediversity @internet_nl
Ook helemaal mee eens. Kun je dat nog een keer in het engels typen en dan Dansup taggen? 🙏

# FOSDEM #Fediverse #Privacy
Does the Pixelfed software protect user privacy? Does it encrypt user data? Is private messaging, if this is a feature, end to end encrypted?
The Pixelfed software is an 'outward bound' service. It is meant for 'public facing' expression with pictures.
The software does it's best to protect your privacy in a sense that your e-mail address is not publicly viewable.
There is no private messaging, Pixelfed is not a messaging server, we recommend #Matrix for that, which is end to end encrypted.
If you want to know more search for ActivityPub and private messages.

@ronald48
Het is .com omdat Daniel die beschikbaar had.Zoals ik in een van de andere vragen in dit draadje al typte: er komen misschien nog meer thema based servers bij, die krijgen dan waarschijnlijk een .eu domeinnnaam.

Interesting
By the way, just a question, why did you choose .com instead of .eu then? (This is a genuine question, not a criticism)

Studying a Battle Born LFP Battery’s Death Under Controlled Conditions
The test setup for the Battle Born LFP cycling. (Credit: Will Prowse, YouTube)
There has been quite a bit of news recently about the Battle Born LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries and how they are dying in droves if not outright melting their plastic enclosures. Although the subsequent autopsies show molten plastic spacers on the bus bars and discolored metal in addition to very loose wiring, it can be educational to see exactly what is happening during repeated charge-discharge cycles at a fraction of the battery’s rated current. Thus [Will Prowse] recently sacrificed another Battle Born 75 Ah LFP battery to the Engineering QA Gods.This time around the battery was hooked up to test equipment to fully graph out the charging and discharging voltage and current as it was put through its paces. To keep the battery as happy as possible it was charged and discharged at a mere 49A, well below its rated 100A.
Despite this, even after a mere 14 cycles the battery’s BMS would repeatedly disconnect the battery, as recorded by the instruments. Clearly something wasn’t happy inside the battery at this point, but the decision was made to push it a little bit harder while still staying well below the rated current.
This led to the observed failure mode where the BMS disconnects the battery so frequently that practically no current is flowing any more. Incidentally this is why you need to properly load test a battery to see whether it’s still good. In this failure mode there is still voltage on the terminals, but trying to pass any level of current leads to the rapid disconnecting by the BMS, even while as in this case the plastic spacer on the bus bar melts a little bit more.
Despite these very rapid disconnects and observed thermal issues, the BMS never puts the battery into any kind of safe mode as other LFP batteries do, leading to the melting plastic and other issues that have now been repeatedly observed. The discoloration of the battery terminals that originally started the investigation thus appears to be a result of higher charge currents and correspondingly higher temperatures.
Worryingly, Battle Born recently put out a statement – addressed in the video – in which they completely disavow these findings and insist that there is no issue at all with these LFP batteries. Naturally, if you still have any Battle Born LFP installed, you really want to test them properly, or ideally replace them with a less sketchy alternative until some kind of recall is issued.

@evan sounds like you’re developing a Napoleon complex

I'm surprised they do not want my soul and my newborn.

@jon_bon same here. If I can't do that, then there's really no point in not buying an iPhone. I wonder if Samsung and other Android phone makers have been asked about how this will impact their sales?

@grote guess I'm never buying a new phone ever again
