Dear studi0 community
We decided to add an #element #matrix #privateSpace #chatRoom to our setup and called it: tupambaeORGstudi0
Please be patient in any case as this is complete #Neuland for the admin in charge.
.. self-hosting based in Paris, France newbie @ elena@aseachange.com, director of The Illusionists documentary and #FOSDEM2025 traveler for your new proyect:
💌 #TheFutureIsFederated
The one who host's here 📷 photos apparently at @ ele@photos.elenarossini.com.
To begin with we created 3 rooms:
- studi0 community
- APP tutorials
and as the first officialy approved project
@jesuiSatire …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ managed to trigger: - Projekt wahlKarnavalKrampf #foFritzMertz
In the @EDIT | don't follow! profile we creatd already a postString for that Projekt with a very limited time horizon.
Next step will probably be creating a activityPub #podcast handle on cast.tupambae.com by @utopiArte, the admin over there, as content colection and conversation about the idea itself in the EDITing post is already up and running.
Part of the details concerning the cast domain is to figure out how to organize the tools #castopod gives us at hand as it looks like it has quite interesting options to organize cooperation, as stated briefly in a tutorial page created on that site, result of the #learningBYdoing process while installing it: brief Castopod tutorial
Last but not least, we are still trying to drag @lizzischmidt the creator and promotor of the #sundayGimp community experience that is alive and running for over a decade on #diaspora* on to our shores, but federation with diaspora, from a technical point of view, definitely has seen better times in the past. Maybe this very cross community chat option, added right here and now, can help to improve the communication for all of us.
This inicial publication will federate quite well out into the vast space of the #fediVerse, but to see comments from the diaspora bubble and the #activityPub sphear, youll have to visit this original page on this friendica server.
Unless of course you are friendican yourself.
So, with no more further introduction, let's jam the #fediFolks!

[strong]Frage | Friendica: Spam vor allen von Diaspora her?[/strong]
Kann es sein das Spam im Fediverse vor allen von Diaspora her kommt? Klar ich hatte das auch schon auf Basis von Mastodon, aber eben nur sehr sehr wenig. Das was Diapora kommt ist wesentlich mehr. Neuestes Beispiel ist der Account
globalfinancellz@diaspora.psyco.fr (Link) der mir folgenden schönen Kommentar schickte, den ich natürlich gelöscht habe:#Frage #Friendica #Diaspora #Spam #2025-08-01 !Friendica Support
“Bypass YT lock to display thumbnails and titles”
I don't know if it's on the same topic. I don't want a tracker, with or without a youtube thumbnail. I also gave above the example, in the Fediverse, of #Diaspora, which displays thumbnails without any tracker:
https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg
Furthermore, I had noticed that even when closing Firefox, which deletes all cookies, and then relaunching the Loma page, the trackers were still there. That's what I didn't understand.

« Bypass YT lock to display thumbnails and titles »
Je ne sais pas si ça parle du même sujet. Moi, je ne veux pas de traqueur, avec ou sans vignette youtube. J'ai aussi donné plus haut l'exemple, dans le Fediverse, de #Diaspora, qui affiche des vignettes sans aucun traqueur :
https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg
En outre, j'avais constaté que même en fermant Firefox, ce qui efface tous les cookies, puis en relançant la page Loma, les traqueurs étaient encore là. C'est ça que je ne comprenais pas.
This is a post actually directed in part to the @Friendica Support forum page of our free open source software community. I guess you heard the term #friendica already, as you are quite a while in the fedi, beginning with your #diaspora presence a long time ago. Our main coder @Michael Vogel is a fan of yours (if I got that right). I asked him the other day in a FOSDEM element chat, if he considers it possible that you make some drawings for friendica, maybe even for every new version, we have like two o three releases every year.
The idea came up because on this server we decided to use the following comic on the login/welcome page:
Than we came up with this variation for the text as you can see:
It seemed to me that Michael liked the idea to have some drawing by you, so I don't want to let the idea slip away and ask you, as well as the community, what everyone thinks about such an option. There are also the 403, 404, 500 and so on error pages. Well maybe those are more a task for @isfies!, who knows ..
Sumasumarum, any ideas, comments or questions about this proposal
@all ?
#diasporaPoll about polling.
#poll feature test, related to a #friendica post about vote by name polling.
If I get this right, D*'s poll feature can have a max of four questions and multiple choice is not available.
Also notable, in comparison with #mastodon poll's, there is no time limit for the poll.
As mastodon allows editing post's, the poll count is reset if the post text is edited, but not the time span of the poll.
Time span is from 5 minutes up to 7 seven days.
In the last 60 days, the diaspora* web assets received 11.3 million requests. That equals to 2.19 req/s - which honestly isn't that much. I mean, it's more than your average personal blog, but nothing that my infrastructure shouldn't be able to handle.
However, here's what's grinding my fucking gears. Looking at the top user agent statistics, there are the leaders:
- 2.78 million requests - or 24.6% of all traffic - is coming from
Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.2; +https://openai.com/gptbot). - 1.69 million reuqests - 14.9% -

Oh, and of course, they don't just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not. They also don't give a single flying fuck about
robots.txt, because why should they. And the best thing of all: they crawl the stupidest pages possible. Recently, both ChatGPT and Amazon were - at the same time - crawling the entire edit history of the wiki. And I mean that - they indexed every single diff on every page for every change ever made. Frequently with spikes of more than 10req/s. Of course, this made MediaWiki and my database server very unhappy, causing load spikes, and effective downtime/slowness for the human users.If you try to rate-limit them, they'll just switch to other IPs all the time. If you try to block them by User Agent string, they'll just switch to a non-bot UA string (no, really). This is literally a DDoS on the entire internet.
Just for context, here's how sane bots behave - or, in this case, classic search engine bots:
- 16.6k requests - 0.14% -
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) - 15,9k req - 0.14% -
Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm) Chrome/116.0.1938.76 Safari/537.36
I am so tired.
#metadata
Actually I thought that friendica strips by default all metadata when pictures are uploaded, something that #Diaspora* (apparently) does. I guess that's where my assumption came from. Has their been any discussion and/or decision on that?
Is here some addon that provides this?
I checked this because I'm diving into #exiftool and it's nice to be able to print copyright (CC-SA-NC), or things like "Artist", "Description or "Comment" to pictures and videos.
What I did find was in settings the opt-in option to publicly display the location metadata of pictures, yet what really would be neat is to be able differenciate these things. In other words, to strip the location data but retain other data like specifically added data.
As example two images I uploaded with similar metadata, one on diaspora:
https://pod.geraspora.de/uploads/images/scaled_full_29fa8368b389f28ba2a3.webp
(this was actually a .png so diaspora changed the container)
and the friendica upload:
https://tupambae.org/photo/719537973166b8ed5c579bb215189631-0.png
To see in linux (debian) what metadata shows up:
apt-get install exiftoolTo display the metadata:
exiftool -v filename.pngThe
-v in the command is optional and means "verbose", that means it displays more data than a simple:exiftool filename.png
Weiß das W3C davon?

Federation of organisation accounts to Diaspora
Do accounts marked as organization not federate to diaspora?
#question #federation #Diaspora
I'd also like to know how to use #Friendica as my "main network", so that when I post on #Friendica, the post is also done automatically on #Mastodon and #Diaspora*.
You can ask/direct people to follow your Friendica account. They'll see what you post both on Diaspora and Mastodon
I'm writing to you from #Colombia, #SouthAmerica. My account is hosted on a server in #Argentina. I'd like to know how, either from #Fedilab on #Android or from a browser on #Windows10, I could follow several tags simultaneously, without having to add them one by one.

Thank you very much.
