  • The quota is daily, it resets at midnight in the UTC timezone. About 2 hours ago.

  • Very helpful, thanks. I appreciate the effort you put in to explaining your position it gave me a lot to think about.

    As with all software, nothing is written in stone and we can change it if it doesn't work out or has unintended side-effects, etc.

  • Oh, I assumed you're using Summit with the same account that you posted your bug report from.

    I have no idea about lemy.lol, that sounds like an unrelated issue.

  • It is also about server load, yeah.

    The server infrastructure that we provide is a commons - a finite shared resource that people use. Why would we let 0.02% of the people take half of it? Couldn't we just rein in that 0.02% and then spend way less money on servers?

  • Still a long way to go on the Mastodon integration front

    Jump

  • Yes we're really really going to want to cross-post mastodon content into threadiverse communities. At the moment I find good stuff for this by using https://news.feedseer.com/ but I'd prefer to have that inside PieFed and then cross-post out of Mastodon into the threadiverse (and then have PieFed's comment / thread merging tie-in the mastodon conversation with the threadiverse one).

    It's going to be awesome.

  • TIL that a new 26 megabyte hard drive cost around $5000 in 1980.

    Jump

  • My second computer had a 20 MB HDD and it was wonderful to have soooo much space compared to the previous computer which had no HDD and 3 floppy drives.

    Then a year later I added a second 20 MB HDD and was absolutely swimming in space.

    Back then a 'large' app was 100 KB. You'd spend all day writing code and produce a 13 KB file.

  • Here's the data - https://piefed.social/c/fediverse@piefed.social/p/2190040/who-decides-what-you-see-on-the-fediverse-a-look-at-voting-patterns

    I hope that more selective voting will surface higher quality content better than people spamming votes everywhere which averages out to nothing. Higher quality content being surfaced will result in more people voting, more people sticking around longer and more votes cast overall.

    Personally, I've been voting MORE in the last couple of days, now that I'm aware how little of my quota I've been using in the past. Chances are I'll return to my baseline behavior once the novelty wears off...

  • The idea is that admins will only use this on accounts that exhibit bot-like behavior, not willy-nilly. I doubt you'll every get a DM.

  • Help! I need a really simple image hosting solution

    Jump

  • You could use apache to create a webdav share. I bet there's a pre built container for it.

    Webdav is really underrated, imo.

  • Self hosting on retro computer?

    Jump

  • Really old CPUs (486 or earlier) lack the computing power to do SSL at any decent speed. So you're limited to serving http, gopher, nntp, or telnet. Maybe IRC.

    You could have a modern computer handle the SSL connection and proxy requests through to the antique but some of the purity of the thing is lost by doing that.

  • PieFed now has a font for people with dyslexia

  • PieFed has that font too :)

  • You're only seeing a handful because those are the ones who posted in a community at some point or replied to a post in a community. The vast majority of Mastodon users have never interacted with any threadiverse content so they won't show up on piefed.social.

    Obviously this is very limiting :) Intentionally, for now.

  • A per-minute rate limit wouldn't work here because people go through bursts of activity - I might do 50 votes in 3 minutes, then none for 10 hours. If the rate limit was 50 votes per 3 minutes then people would still be able to cast thousands of votes per day.

    is Piefed unable to do so

    PieFed is able to do so, and has been doing so.

    But I don't think think it should have to and I don't think we should let a handful of people have the amount of influence they have been having. Did you see the graphs I shared in the matrix room?
