Beh si, a livello concettuale si tratta di mettere in piedi una piattaforma con federazione che però, anziché prendere il design da Twitter per esempio, come fa Mastodon, prende le idee da Miiverse.
Sul come farlo dal lato pratico, ci sono tante opzioni:
Partendo da Lemmy, come ho detto, le cose da fare sarebbero circa queste:
Ah bene bene, non sapevo che proprio in questi giorni si stesse muovendo qualcosa a riguardo. Bene, sarebbe un passo avanti!
Per il resto, se voglio usare Lemmy come base, a meno che non mettono anche opzioni per cambiare lo stile delle timeline, dovrò comunque fare il mio fork. Sicuramente non metteranno le reazioni pubbliche, a meno di un ridesign completo della UX di Lemmy, perché sarebbe un cambiamento troppo radicale. Idem se voglio fare un’altra cosa non necessaria ma per me bella: implementare delle API client parallele nel server, per permettere, oltre alle app Lemmy, anche alle app di Miiverse per WiiU e 3DS di collegarsi 🤫

On the Pi I already use an HDD for data and most of my programs, plus some megabytes (64 today, yesterday it was 32) of swap in addition to the 128 MB I have on my slow microSD, (which apart from that only holds the base system, really).
Considering that an SSD on the Pi3 is wasteful due to the USB 2.0 limit, that I don’t have any spare, and that the smallest SSD I can find (128 GB) is still at least twice the cost of my 320 GB HDD, guess what 2.5" external drive I’ll keep as main currently.
System and programs aren’t running slow right now, so, since I need more swap, I could try adding some more on the HDD, and only then actually try pendrives, just for 1 o 2 GB of swap at max. I can add them, since I have some spare and they are cheap to get anyways.
But yeah, if I had USB 3.0 on a SBC with 1 GB of RAM, I would get the SSD.
Flashdrives die sooner than good quality SSDs, but in general are at least a bit more resilient than microSD cards. Even I’m considering starting to use a small USB pen as extra swap space for my Raspberry Pi 3; for what they cost, even if they will eventually break, they are good value.
Why is it slow for you? Here are some things to consider:
USB speeds: USB as a protocol is generally slower than SATA, even version 3. If your drive or your port are 2.0, then you will deal with a theoretical max bandwidth of 480 mbps (but the practical one is much lower!). If they are 3.x, check that the flashdrive makes proper contact in the port with not only the main big 4 pins, but also the small pins hidden deeper inside the connector (I have no idea how on Linux tho :/); most USB A 3.0 connectors and ports have issues connecting together for some reason, and it may happen that the SuperSpeed pins can’t get close and thus the connection will degrade to 2.0 speeds.
Cheap chips (pun intended): Cheap USB pen drives nowadays use both low-quality controller chips and memory chips. From experience I can say that some inexpensive modern flashdrives that are sold as USB 3.0, and get connected as 3.0 to an host system, actually work at around 2.0 speeds. Why? Sometimes it’s because low-quality memory chips are used, that won’t work properly if accessed with high speeds, and thus the controller chips in the drives are programmed to limit read/write speeds… some other times, the controller chip is also crappy, and transfers slow down because it overheats. Also, bandwidth is not the only thing that suffers: on cheap flashdrives you can experience high latency.
Both limited bandwidth and high latency impact a lot when you use any storage medium for OS or program storage, or even swap memory. If you want some decent but easy to read statistics to test those values (with graphs too), install GNOME Disks and use its disk benchmark tool. You can verify how well your USB pen drive performs, and even compare it to your SSD.
As a side note, from most of my flashdrives (including one which connects via USB 3.0) I always get no more than 15 MB/s read + 5 MB/s write… that’s a practical speed of 160 mbps, a mere 1/3 of the theoretical for 2.0.
comments aren’t a thing with writefreely
What do you mean? You can look up any profile in the form of @blogname@writefreelyinstance.domain
from apps like Mastodon, Friendica, etc…, see all posts, and comment regularly.
Is the fact that there’s no link or embed of the comment section at the bottom of the WriteFreely page that is bothering you, or am I not understanding?
On a side note: if you are really choosing how to build a blog (like it seems you are), and are not taking the first free managed hosting provider you come across…
I would think twice before using any server software instead of keeping your site static. Having a server software that’s more complex than simply serving static files will do more harm than good in the long run: more security flaws, you have to always keep the thing updated, higher resource usage, and hard to make your content survive the test of time (backing these things up is hard and when you do, you have a database file, not some plaintext ones)
Quando mai la zucca marca non si mette a rompere? a cambiare le API ogni settimana, quasi come YouTube… ma poi, mi sembra di ricordare che Instagram funzioni ancora con versioni di anni fa della app ufficiale. Che API usa? Bisognerebbe costruire un frontend su quelle. Forse la chiave è il fatto che si abbia un account? Non sarebbe difficile creare un frontend dove semplicemente, chi lo ospita (non chi visita), deve fare login con il proprio account per far funzionare il sistema.
Sorprendentemente… Ho cercato e non ho trovato nulla? Forse perché progettare bene giochi di carte alla Magic non è facile. Se a gente interessasse particolarmente un gioco di carte già esistente (come fisico o digitale) potrebbe creare un client di gioco digitale che a livello di codice è libero (ma in quanto ad assets, devi prendere in prestito creazioni altrui… finché non ti metti a fare usi commerciali e il progetto non diventa troppo famoso, però, la creazione non dovrebbe avere problemi)
Since this is all JavaScript there’s not really much to fork I think, you would need to write everything (not really a lot) from scratch
As I said though, the idea is nice, I could probably implement it as a new feature for my own static site generator, as a replacement to wiki-like footnotes (the concept I currently use to move additional information away from the content body)
Miis actually look good compared to this, because their design is simple, kind of chibi, and doesn’t try at being too realistic or accurate
This is in the uncanny valley, Miis really aren’t
Oooh! 😲 Ecco, infatti non lo conoscevo kbin.
Tecnicamente questo è già ciò che voglio io, solo la UI/UX non mi piace granché; però, se dovessi fare una scelta tra forkare Lemmy per sistemare sia un po’ di backend che un po’ di frontend, o questo dove potrei avere ciò che voglio alla base semplicemente modificando il frontend, beh… potrei partire da questo 😄! (anche se il fatto che sia creato con PHP mi fa storcere il naso…)
Ci guarderò un po’ dentro, grazie ancora. L’ho aggiunto alla mia lista di piattaforme del Fediverso, ultimamente ne stanno uscendo fuori di nuove come funghi (è buono) e se non te le segni te le perdi!
