@evan that's a good point, different UX for different use cases!

I’m confused (you probably already knew that). -
More moaning about #linux.@paco@infosec.exchange why Discourse?
Use NodeBB. We keep our shit in one folder.
You can put that folder anywhere 🫠

I am looking to host a **de-federated** mastodon instance for 300 to 500 people.@spacebuffer@fosstodon.org yes! It fully supports two-way federation and interacts well with Mastodon and Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin.
There are granular visibility controls so you can have some categories federating and some not.
There's also a feed view if you really can't give up the feed 😅

I am looking to host a **de-federated** mastodon instance for 300 to 500 people.@sam@break3.social @spacebuffer@fosstodon.org 8GB?! Those are insane system requirements for what is basically text and media exchange.
An intra-org forum for 800 running NodeBB would be 2GB max, 1 CPU, and you'd really only see 100 actively using the site, if that.
Mastodon is a beast eh.

How important is it for software engineers to have professional experience?@evan@cosocial.ca "young", "inexperienced", "small". That particular constellation of adjectives would lead to a pretty bad product I think!
The important keyword here is "small". A small but experienced team will run circles around any other combination. Age is less important (but tends to correlate with experience, one would assume.)

One thing I left out of my The Everything Account piece was a whole section on Bridgy Fed.@quillmatiq@mastodon.social I know that image was meant to be reflective of the ATProto dev landscape, but you're really underselling the variety of applications in that "Fediverse" catch-all bucket :smile:

I'm writing this in English.@hongminhee@hollo.social thanks, good answer :smile:
I would wonder then that maybe you might end up sounding like an LLM, then. Best interject some of your own style later on :wink:
-
I'm writing this in English.@hongminhee@hollo.social do you think your writing skills will improve with continued reading of the LLM-reflected translations, to the point where you may no longer need it?
-
I'm writing this in English.@hongminhee@hollo.social I think your post makes me think more critically about the use of LLMs for translation services. It is easy for me to judge from a position of privilege because I am a native English speaker, and I do not realize the access I am given simply because of it.
While reading your post it also made me think about the sacrifices you made to contribute to this community. There are precious few people in the Asia-Pacific region who regularly contribute to AP development, and a large part of that is the language barrier.
If LLM-translation makes the AP development community less euro-america-centric, then I am all for it. Cultural differences we can work through, but language barriers are harder to bypass!
Aside, congratulations for making it onto Hacker News front page :)

It's "Whom To Follow" not "Who To Follow".@reiver@mastodon.social knowing people in general... They will get more bug reports if they said "whom"

Southern Ontario (or even Canadian) friends... my CAA membership expires in 4 days.Southern Ontario (or even Canadian) friends... my CAA membership expires in 4 days. Should I re-up so I can get help if I need it (battery assist/towing), or just put a reputable towing company in my address book? ($136/yr vs one-time towing cost of $250)
Didn't need CAA this year, but who knows. Car's 10 years old now, running fine for now.

@kims@gargron@mastodon.social instead of reading about it second-hand I'd recommend you read Cory's blog post about his 6th year blogging (that's where he talks about the AI stuff).

Maybe YouTube is cracking down on all YouTube clients?@starcross@mk.absturztau.be when this happens it's usually when I've got my vpn enabled.

Introducing PortaFed — cryptographic account portability for #ActivityPub@jonny@neuromatch.social honestly good for you for investing the time to critique this knowing it's AI (adjacent or wholesale) involvement.
-
Introducing PortaFed — cryptographic account portability for #ActivityPub@jonny@neuromatch.social tracks doesn't it 😝
-
Introducing PortaFed — cryptographic account portability for #ActivityPubSomething we need. Looks to be NLNet funded? The README looks to be AI written, it contains a lot of the confident triple-statements often found in LLM-generated content. I hope that is as far as it goes because this might be brushing up against NLNet's generative AI policy: https://nlnet.nl/foundation/policies/generativeAI/
@portafed@mastodon.social may I ask whether LLM was used in the production of this project/code?

Introducing PortaFed — cryptographic account portability for #ActivityPub:eyes: new account portability spec dropped. We're at 3 now? :sweat_smile:

😲…I just realized #FediCon is in the *same* venue as #FOSSY just *3* days before FOSSY starts!@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org that's a good idea. It would maybe draw additional people who wouldn't normally travel to an AP only conference...
And it'd make planning much easier!

😲…I just realized #FediCon is in the *same* venue as #FOSSY just *3* days before FOSSY starts!@evan@cosocial.ca @bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org ah, that's just the site from last year.
IIRC last I heard @reiver@mastodon.social was looking at venues at Simon Fraser University.
