Yeah federated login would be a very interesting concept and I’m sure we will get there. The constant online profiling and fingerprinting always makes me paranoid. A single login following me to multiple sites is basically a more forward fingerprint. But I’m hoping for a federated internet where tracking will be kept at a minimal because there is less incentive too.

I love and hate the idea of having a single ID on the internet, it’s interesting to think about.

Curious, what are you looking for in the ip info of a site?

lol dark souls 3?

I believe once a post or comment is federated it will continue to stay even if the instance it came from is no longer in service. instances are not “streaming” the data to each other, they send copies and store it in their own dbs. So this comment right here will have a bunch copies out there on other instances.

What kind of space is wasted? Genuinely curious. I only really use it on my iPhone. On desktop is the comments area too narrow?

I love it so much that I started contributing to the project on GitHub

I would join, I love them/him

Totally recommend toggling “always sprint” on if you do try it out

Yes half life 2 and all the mods that spun from it dominated my childhood

Ooo never heard of Guix, just did a little research on it. I am looking to switch to a declarative distro as well. I seem to have the same tendency of breaking shit when playing around with different packages and running different projects locally. I have been looking at NixOS, have you heard of it and if so, why did you choose GUIX over it?

Yeah I dabbled in rust very very lightly lol But the front end is written in inferno which is very similar to react which I’m very comfortable with. All I can say is don’t fear another language! Or don’t let it be a blocker, it may take some time to figure out but if you keep at it day after day you will be amazed how it will eventually makes sense.

The rust backend, Postgres Db and UI are all available as docker images. The rust “lemmy” repo has a docker compose file (if you are familiar with the concept) allowing you to spin up the whole stack locally pretty easily if you already have docker installed.
