Test post

I got som weird behaviour, like nothing worked very well, with 0.19.0 so I updated to 0.19.1 and after quite a while (small instance, beefy PC) it starts to work again, it seems.

Except I am now a moderator everywhere. Maybe it doesn’t work, I won’t try, except asked, so can someone make a post that I can sticky or delete just to see what’s happening?

Cheers!

Thanks!

Interesting, how would you configure that? I mean if it’s easy, I could authorize, upload and remove the authorisation.

Edit: would it be so easy as adding the file extensions and ‘up’ the upload limit?

Okaay yeah that seems completely obvious when you think about it. I was a tee worried you’d have to like block everything everything :-)

If I don’t go the whole peertube way, I probably just link the videos. Good advice, thanks!

Thanks, I could start out just using someone’s peertube, but where is the fun and tinkering in that :-)

I will keep it in mind for a fallback solution though.

Oh man, I checked out Peertube and it’s amazing! Obviously overkill for my needs, but it seems like a really good platform (and it’s from France, yay!).

Only worry I have, will my instance “mirror” other I stances? I’m confident sharing videos because I know they won’t be looked at very much, but with a sort of decentralized cache system it could be costly (in bandwidth).

Thanks again, I’m at a new job, it’s summertime, but soon I think I’ll dig into the whole compiling Lemmy thing checking out how it all works :-)

I’m a huge complexity & somehow network nerd so at least I’m going to see some interesting stuff and Rust seems to be quite abordable for an old-timer.

Hello RoundSparrow, and again thank you for your help when I was in trouble setting up my little instance!

It runs well now :-)

Just as a backdrop I’m curious about how Lemmy works (I’m building a sharing protocol & implementation, decentralised, takedown safe, rugged, … It feels like how Lemmy is built on top of its protocol) and I love Lemmy and how it “federates” 💗 so I want to know more about it all.

When you say packages get forwarded to whatever instance wanted (if I understand correctly) you don’t “unpack” (e.g check if it’s a valid request) which seems logic, the end instances does do the security check right? I mean if the end instance doesn’t check, you checking won’t help them out.

But then again, if I understand you correctly, the trust is split in two; the poster from A posting on B, then B sending all its posts to C, D, E, …

Which would mean it’s enough to trust B to trust A. If you trust B enough :-)

Guess I’m off to learn Rust and try to compile all this :-)

Thanks again, and sorry for the ramblings. It’s late here and I have not very much time.

Ha ha yeah it’s not easy peasy when you start with these kind of things for sure, thanks for the link! It seems it shows the day to say stuff (and the pubkey embedded in the json) thanks again.

So if I want to validate a user outside of the Lemmy service (the one that runs in a docker on my lemmy-box), I “just” have to get the public key from the Lemmy database and validate the digest/signature?

Cheers!

Thanks, “subbed” !

Okay thank you very much!

Okay so it’s the lemmt server running my instance that checks it is the right user. Do you know how it is done ?

I reread your post, so it’s a signature in the http call?

And it will happen with favourite Lemmy instances, but we will be able to ditch that bad part, migrate, and continue to live on well.

My man, thank you for staying with me!

If anyone stumbles upon this post and have the same problem ; the conf file you use if you follow the official Docker setup (lemmy.hjson) well, you get an example version with one of the wget commands. This file has the bare minimum config wise, so if you want to get the “full” one and get your hands dirty, download the sources (or go to the github and navigate like a pro) and it is here :

where_you_downloaded_the_sources/lemmy-main/config/default.hjson

Thanks again Grouchy!

Cheers

lemmy.hjson ? I have nothing like it there, neither in the other configs (nginx, docker_compose, customPostgresql)… what’s your confing files name?

Edit: I do run it in Docker containers, maybe there just isn’t that config variable?

I fiddled a bit with the Postgreslq config file (everything is way better now), but no where I saw a pool_size. Any pointers on where to find it ?

Cheers !

It “just” grabs all communities with >50 user’s & upvotes and subs you to them?

Kind of brutal lol, but maybe it can be reworked to accept specific communities…

Yep, but it’s a big hassle to actually sub to a community not yet known to your instance. That’s like the problem.
