Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues

Yeah I like it over Mastodon as well. The UI/UX feels more modern. The only downside is that the majority of the Twitter-alternative fediverse is on Mastodon, so I have to run 90% of accounts through ‘search’ to follow them.

The article does touch on some of the main instance’s issues towards the bottom too I just found out.

If nothing else, the article is great for a breakdown of the features of Firefish. I’ve been a user for 2-3 months and didn’t know a lot of the info covered.

On a related note, I was on firefish.social but it was very buggy for me after a while. Thought about throwing in the towel but eventually realized that it was instance specific.

I have since migrated to calckey.world (Calckey -> Firefish instance that didn’t change its name) and the experience has been buttery smooth.

It’s completely markdown which is future-proof and easily portable to other software

Fan of firefish but I will say the main, most popular instance (firefish.social) has been buggy for me for months. Often my feed/notifications won’t load, or I have trouble replying to comments. Or I can’t react to posts or open up fediverse posts. Real dealbreakers.

I’m going to try a different instance but otherwise I will likely move my acct to Mastodon.

Convenience is the main issue. AFAIK, as long as you secure your device, it’ll do the job

Grand opening. Grand closing

I agree with you and was also thinking that maybe waiting X days/weeks before publishing would be the solution.

What I don’t like about the article is that the phrasing ‘paying off’ can apply to making investors money OR having worthwhile use cases. AI has created plenty of use cases from language learning to code correction to companionship to brainstorming, etc.

It seems ironic that a consumer-facing website is framing things from a skeptical “But is it making rich people richer?” perspective

At my old job, we had a VBA script that would:

1. Pull client data from SQL
2. Load data into an Excel file
3. Update charts and KPIs
4. Copy/Paste chart and KPIs into PowerPoint
5. Switch to the next client
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for +100 clients

Thirty page custom reports per client within 2 minutes (when nothing broke). It allows you to interact and automate across the Microsoft Suite. That is one of the reasons why it is indispensable to many companies

This is going increasingly off topic.

1. Yes wikipedia does have ads every time they fundraise
2. I use libredirect to complete privacy-focused searches across various front-ends, from YouTube to Reddit to Wikipedia, and my searches are distributed across various instances, so no, a single random third party is not getting all of my searches.
3. ‘The point’ is to share an article on the guy who owns Brave. I’ve provided additional context about wikiless as requested, but if you need more context moving forward, please do a google search.

It’s a free, open source alternative Wikipedia front-end focused on privacy.

Basically you search wikipedia w/o tracking.

The owner is the guy who created JavaScript and is funded by controversial right-winger Peter Thiel

Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect

Proprietary so it’s a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.

Good insight. We must protect @bug at all costs.

Great response 👍🏾

I’m sure most of us are old enough to remember when citing directly from wikipedia was seen as stupid and in poor taste because ‘anyone could edit the articles’.

It’s likely still premature to fully trust in definitions from LLMs, but it’s worth noting that AFAIK, basically every LLM is trained off of wikipedia articles because the data is free, easily accessible and contains the answers to lots of random human questions

What surprised me was the amount of Android users. I guess self-hosters are predisposed to tinkering in general perhaps?
