But come on, there are folks who really believe this is going to replace, or even stand alongside Twitter, as a massively scaled social network? I call bullshit. While it’s impressive that millions of users have apparently given Mastodon a try, the product is far too slapdash and clunky to keep folks engaged. A lump of coal.<br /><br /> No, it isn't meant to be a #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/twitter" rel="tag">Twitter</a></span> replacement. Keep your Twitter account until you no longer want it--or the company closes and the site shuts down--you can use Mastodon alongside Twitter.<br /><br /> And the #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/fediverse" rel="tag">Fediverse</a></span> networks are much more than just #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/mastodon" rel="tag">Mastodon.</a></span> Don't think you have experienced the network and all it has to offer if all you've done is briefly tried to use Mastodon, because you haven't experienced it.<br /><br /> > I’ve somehow avoided signing up for the service up until now. Largely because signing up was and is so comically obtuse — pick your server everyone, hope you choose wisely! <br /><br /> Have you not used e-mail? It works the same way. You pick a server, such as Gmail or Outlook dot com, and sign up. Please tell me you realize that the people you communicate with are not all on the same e-mail service that you use.<br /><br /> > But, but, it’s not a product, it’s a protocol. Yeah, that’s a nice thing to say. And to believe in. But I truly believe the ship has sadly sailed for such idealism in this space. Jack Dorsey can talk about how this should have been what Twitter was from the get go until he’s bluesky in the face. It’s just not going to happen. And he’s more to blame for that than most everyone else. As is he for the Elon element of this current equation. But that’s a different story.<br /><br /> Okay, so how about this story: Twitter has only been profitable two or three years of its entire history. Since it started, it has existed by burning through investors' funds. Eventually, with or without Elon Musk's ownership, that runs out. Without such funding, their corporate-centralized ( #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/corpocentric" rel="tag">corpocentric</a></span> ) model cannot exist very long. And same for their centralized competitors, such as Post.news, Gab, Parler, and so on. What is left is either #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/federated" rel="tag">federated</a></span> or #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/peertopeer" rel="tag">peer-to-peer</a></span> approaches, where no single entity is responsible for funding and managing the entire network. So whether it is the #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/fediverse" rel="tag">Fediverse</a></span> ( with #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/activitypub" rel="tag">ActivityPub</a></span> and #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/ostatus" rel="tag">OStatus</a></span> and their successors ) & the Federation ( with #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/diaspora" rel="tag">Diaspora</a></span> ) or #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/bluesky" rel="tag">Bluesky</a></span>, or #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/twister" rel="tag">Twister</a></span>, or #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/nostr" rel="tag">NOSTR</a></span>, the eventual future of #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/socnets" rel="tag">socnets</a></span> is #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/decentralized" rel="tag">decentralized</a></span>, if not entirely peer-to-peer unless a national government takes over Facebook and Twitter in order to provide effectively unlimited resources.

Once this happens, hoizontally scaling the database by clustering (multiple servers handling the same db) is possible. <br /> <br /> Next, we can perform similar clustering with the web server, and we can perform similar clustering at the processing layers. <br /> <br /> Once we do this, we can expose things through various interfaces. This is what #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/cloud" rel="tag">cloud</a></span> providers do with their separate compute, database, and storage services. Each such service relies on hundreds of servers pretending to be one. <br /> <br /> Finally, we come to #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/federation" rel="tag">federation</a></span>, where we skip the pretense that everything is one big server and instead have many separate individuals and organizations running servers.<br /> <br /> It isn't inherently more complicated, but it does mean users have to know that we're not all on big-centralized-server.com.332670http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2022-11-19T21:25:24+00:002022-11-19T21:25:24+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

We had a bunch of plugins, including a bridge from G2 to a regular CMS, so he could use his main site for authentication on his photo gallery. Then came G3, which never had the same functionality. We tried "Coppermine Photo Gallery" (CPG), and a few more, eventually settling on Koken.<br /><br /> Over time, I was concerned about the lack of continuing security patches, so we pulled it down.<br /><br /> While he's off work for the next few months, he's going to try to do more photography , and he's looking to host his work again. I'd like to be able to suggest something that isn't Flickr / 500px or other #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/corpocentric" rel="tag">corpocentric</a></span> site.<br /><br /> Federation is not needed, as he's looking mostly for a way to market his work and maybe sell a few prints. I suggested that he look at #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/pixelfed" rel="tag">PixelFed</a></span>, but I don't know enough about it to even be sure it could meet his needs. I don't know if his hosting is capable of something like #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/mediagobllin" rel="tag">MediaGobllin</a></span> (Python based), but that project is still awakening from a long hibernation.<br /><br /> Anyone have knowledge of a self-hostable PHP based photo gallery?299571http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2021-01-03T18:52:55+00:002021-01-03T18:52:55+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
