Het leuke aan de #Fediverse (waar Mastodon ook onderdeel van is) is dat er steeds nieuwe oplossingen bij komen, die aanhaken in het grotere geheel. Vaak zijn het proefballonnen en komt het merendeel niet echt van de grond.
Ben nu #littleFedi van @stefano aan het testen en kan oprecht zeggen: wow 🤯
Het zou een lichtgewicht implementatie moeten zijn en de software is nog in de testfase, maar voelt nu al beter in elkaar gezet dan Mastodon. Supervriendelijke interface, focus op de dingen die er daadwerkelijk toe doen zodat je minder ruis hebt. Gelijktijdig heeft het een geweldige optie voor kennisdeling, zoals een ingebouwde blog. Zo kun je "vlugge" posts maken (inclusief self-destruct per bericht!), maar ook zaken die je voor de langere termijn wil bewaren, opslaan als blogpost.
Veel software: 😡 🤮
littleFedi: 😍
Dit is hoe software hoort te zijn: focus, simpel, handige opties.
Helaas is het nog "invite-only", maar voor iedereen die overweegt om een eigen installatie op te willen zetten, hou littleFedi in de gaten.
Bij deze meteen een test om te zien als ik naar mijn eigen profiel link:
@redflegias@social.umoja.it riprenditi presto! Credo che i condizionatori sparati a temperature bassissime siano la peggior situazione per i malanni estivi. Entri grondante, esci surgelato.

Life meets art, head on ... meep-meep!
This accident actually happened. In Monterrey in Mexico a driver crashed into a concrete wall decorated with a trompe-l'œil mural of a Looney Tunes tunnel.
I still find this fact quite amazing, especially seeing as I have required full vps Mastodon hosting for the last 5 years. Just incredible!

Just a little reminder on littleFedi's efficiency
The instance https://rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - with my user @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - has been running for over a month on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD.
Under normal operation, it uses 58 MB of RAM, including caches. And it shows no signs of slowness!

Good morning, world!
Coffee... done!
Morning checks...done!
Let's get ready for a new week!
Good morning to all #littlefedinauts!
Even though it may sometimes seem strange, you are populated by many fantastic creatures, even of the human species.
@rl_dane@polymaths.social Enjoy your digital detox time and...we'll be here when you'll be back.
Take care of yourself!
Today I learned, if you accidentally delete your Mastodon account, it will send out delete notifications to everyone who follows you so that they stop following you. Reinstating your account is not enough.
Update: Learned a lot about Mastodon during all this! Thanks everyone.
It's Sunday evening and something just came to mind.
When you think of the Commodore 64, what is the first video game that pops into your head?
I'll start: strangely enough, Skool Daze came to my mind.
Boosts appreciated!
Hola mundo!
Rozando el medio siglo de existencia creía que lo había visto prácticamente todo, no era así.
De vez en cuando, entre toda la miseria que se mueve en este nuestro planeta, surgen iniciativas que te transportan a otras épocas. Unas en las que todo era mucho más sencillo, menos complejo y donde la tecnología era algo comunitario, casi mágico en algunos aspectos.
@stefano ha conseguido con #littlefedi poner de nuevo el foco en lo esencial, en lo simple, en lo eficiente. Volver a tener el software a tu servicio y no al revés.
Larga vida a littlefedi!
I am playing with Visual Editor
The first time I ever used an editor like this was in Wordpress approximately 100 years ago.
I was a thinner man back then, less grey, in less pain.
I could often be hear proclaiming:
Who the fuck are you? Why have you been following me around? Is that a camera!? Are you some kind of cop!!?
In a panic I would run :
sudo rm -rf /
in an attempt to destroy all of the evidence of the crimes I had not committed.
This thing appears to be working well and I smell I really appreciate the effort that goes into something like this.
I am not much of a programmer. I studied it once at University and failed out. You can see just how bad it really is on Codeberg.
I am however really good at:
- Breaking things
- trying to do weird stuff
- documenting what I did
- explaining what I thought would happen
- explaining what actually happened
This is important because:
- not every system is the same and software can behave unexpectedly on someone else's computer
- "idk this shit dont work" is a shitty bug
^ That horizontal rules!
The only thing that was slightly confusing was knowing when to turn the buttons off. I did have to edit the numbered and bulleted lists once because I toggled the button off too early and it unlisted the last item. Not a bug, every visual editor handles that one differently.
Not heavily tested and probably still full of bugs, but I just shipped the visual editor build.
Looking forward to your feedback!
I regret to inform you all that earlier today my children escaped their sandbox. I told them explicitly “stay in your sandbox” but they are just too powerful.
