Makes me realize that I’ve never seen a “take your kid to work day” IRL

Bless the fediverse for its editable posts!

There’s lots of episodes of the podcast, it follows our adventures as we’ve built FediHost and the projects and people like Rimu we have been meeting along the way. If you’ve got questions about Piefed let us know and we’ll ask next time.

Paige and Victor get into the weeds with Rimu the creator of Piefed. What is the secret to Piefed's rapid development and what direction is is Piefed rapidly developing?

Curious to know what others have experienced. I’ve done a few things this year and there’s a real range of personality types. The worst was probably indoor volleyball, a few people were unable to get a grip of their competitive side and made it quite a drag.
On the other end, ballet and swing dance were a very wholesome and nice crowd.

FediHost handles storage differently to most managed hosting providers. You can buy it separately as-needed and it's shared in a pool across all your services. We actually started the service after I (Paige) found it annoying that on another provider I was having to upgrade my whole plan (RAM, Database etc) just because I'd run out of media storage. We're also planning to add that flexibility to database storage as well in the next year.

The way I look at it, if we get automatic filing it’s like giving many people a national half-day holiday.
Also one less American cultural norm.

 

Je suis tellement heureuse de voir cela dans le débat public dans notre ville. Craig est également le seul candidat à la mairie présent sur le fediverse.

This guide outlines how to start a podcast for people who are already running PeerTube.

[–] Paige@piefed.ca 1 points 11 months ago

True, I'll point this out.

[–] Paige@piefed.ca 8 points 11 months ago

Because if you're already running (or want to run) a PeerTube instance you can save yourself from having to setup and maintain another thing.

Created a guide over the weekend on hosting a podcast with PeerTube. Going with Spotify/YouTube is tempting for many, but they may not have realized how easy/affordable PeerTube has become for hosting and maintaining complete control of a feed.

I don’t have a universal like or dislike of publicly owned companies. Expending limited resources and political capital on running a supermarket before trying any antitrust regulation is a waste of governmental resources.

Terrible solution.
Break up and split the wholesale and retail operations. Legislate against wholesale pricing discrimination (Wholesale pricing cannot have price breaks which exclude smaller competitors)

Is there a spot in Montreal that has a regular gathering of guys playing chess? You know that classic New York scene where you can show up and play some games.

 

I've had a small mastodon instance for over a year and recently decided to get to the bottom of why the "Explore" tab hardly ever recommended any posts.

"Nothing is trending right now. Check back later!"

When I was a programmer I never used ruby, but reading through the code I think it's down to a hard threshold of 5 minimum interactions for something to even be considered for the trending algorithm. This makes it hard to meet theses conditions on instances with a small number of active users.

 

What features made you choose PieFed over Mbin/Lemmy?
What features do they have that you’d like to see in PieFed?

 

I've been working on a guide to getting started on Lemmy. What do you think I should add?

 

Posted this over at !Lemmy@lemmy.ml and it was suggested I put it here too.
