!GNUsocial was never a platform for private and secure communication. It is a platform for open, transparent communication free from the commercial advertising agencies. !Decentralife
@indi I'm hoping for the best. @MaryamMonsef started as an !ElectoralReform supporter, and I suspect she wasn't happy toeing the party line. Same for @HonStephaneDion, and now they've both been removed from their Cabinet positions. I hope @KarinaGould will stay true to her ideals, resist the Liberal Party's pressure to bury the !ElectoralReform issue, and follow through on the #ERRE committee report by proposing a form of #ProportionalRepresentation.
<sigh> I hope the RHEL banner just means #FreeAsInGratis, not #FreeAsInFreedom. As an enterprise customer, I still value #FAIF, and am willing to pay for that.
@mk Yes, I really do think that the function of a group should be federated. If I start !NewGroup and there are already other !NewGroup instances defined on other servers then my !NewGroup should participate in sending messages to subscribers in all instances of !NewGroup. That provides some resilience too - if one !NewGroup disappears then the other !NewGroup instances can divide the subscribers and workload amongst themselves. I leave the development of a protocol to do that as an exercise for @mmn :)
@rtsn What page is displayed when you see that error message? The !Coffee group has a successful subscription from @vinzv@gnusocial.de so our servers have communicated successfully in the past. Sadly, I have logging turned off because it used to fill log files at the rate of about 20 kBytes/s...
@mk I see a total of five !Coffee groups: http://sn.jonkman.ca/search/group?q=coffee By "correct group" I mean the one you *want* to send messages to. The only way to ensure that is to unsubscribe from any other groups with the same name.
Looks like your post addressed the !Coffee group at http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/coffee To ensure your messages go to the correct group, you need to unsubscribe from all the other !Coffee groups
I borrowed "The In Sound From Way Out" from the library around 1975, was amazed by what I heard, and which inspired a love of electronica. Today we have the Internet, and I'm amazed by Jean-Jacques Perrey's virtuosity all over again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05sAxt8zNZI
Yes, @TeksavvyBuzz is a great ISP. They're a third-party provider, in that they get wholesale bandwidth from the incumbent cable provider (Rogers Cable in my neighbourhood), and somehow Rogers prevents Teksavvy from issuing a static IP (this wasn't a problem when I used Teksavvy DSL). Lack of a static IP stops me from !selfhosting DNS. Rogers also blocks outbound port 25 for SMTP, so my selfhosted mail server uses Teksavvy's mail server as an upstream smart host.
