Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Monday, 08-May-2017 06:53:18 CEST Björn Schießle I'm the only one for whom Twidere 3.5.36 crashes all the time if i use it together with !GNUSocial? I downgraded it for now again. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Saturday, 06-May-2017 06:57:35 CEST Björn Schießle A film everybody should have seen: Revolution OS
"Linux wasn’t so much about being an operating system as it was about putting power in people’s hands. This isn’t so true anymore. Most of the few websites that remain are commercial endeavors that often confuse “software freedom” with the mere availability of source code and a free price tag. [..] The ideas behind the free software movement are now in danger of being reduced to merely a business model for managing software in the corporate world. [..] Without community, the free tech movement will disappear — of that, you can be certain."

Thomas (INACTIVE account!) (thomas@social.tchncs.de)'s status on Thursday, 04-May-2017 07:04:44 CEST Thomas (INACTIVE account!) If there was no WhatsApp, messaging downtime wouldn't be topic in the news. Maybe there would be some XMPP nodes down from time to time, but there wouldn't be any large-scale outages.
Think about it.
Centralized messaging sucks.

Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Wednesday, 03-May-2017 15:45:24 CEST Björn Schießle Thanks a lot! I looked at the script in the root, but forgot completely the scripts in the OStatus plugin dir. This script helped to clean stuff up: rm_bad_feedsubs.php. Afterwards everything worked again! :-) -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Wednesday, 03-May-2017 15:29:21 CEST Björn Schießle I un-subscribed from a mastodon.social user. I was under the impression that something was wrong because I didn't received any status from the given user. Now when I try to re-subscribe I get a "internal error" on my !gnusocial server. Does someone heard something like this before? Anything I could do? For example check a specific database tables if there are still some information stored about the mastodon.social user? Maybe @mmn or @gargron knows more? -

"Die Frage ist, was lernt man in der Schule und was kann man auch sonst lernen? Es käme ja kein Kochlehrer auf die Idee, den Schülern das Kochen mit Beutelsuppen beizubringen."

Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2017 08:59:23 CEST Björn Schießle @heluecht ja, habe Shell Access und kann einen ganz normalen cronnjob einrichten. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2017 06:53:42 CEST Björn Schießle @benediktg ein weitere Vorteile von Friendica den ich momentan sehe ist, dass es problemlos auf meinen Webspace läuft. Ich mir also die 8Euro/Monat für den VServer sparen könnte den ich momentan nur für GNU Social habe. Das was mich momentan am meisten an Friendica stört ist dass "Freunde" System, sprich dass man nicht unabhängig von anderen denen folgen kann die einen interessieren. -

Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2017 06:22:24 CEST Björn Schießle @benediktg bin noch unentschieden. Für GNU Social sprechen gute mobile Clients, asymmetrisches folgen von usern und die gute Integration in meine restliche Homepage. Auf der anderen Seite bietet Friendica eine relativ große und aktive Entwickler-community, super Integration in andere Netzwerke und bessere Möglichkeiten seine Nachrichten zu formatieren. Mal sehen was sich am Ende bei mir durchsetzten wird. Auf absehbare Zeit werde ich wohl erstmal beides verwenden. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Monday, 01-May-2017 23:31:04 CEST Björn Schießle I just downloaded the Practical GPL Compliance guide for startups, small businesses, and engineers by Shane Coughlan and Armijn Hemel... Can't wait to start reading. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/research/practical-gpl-compliance

Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Apr-2017 18:01:57 CEST Björn Schießle @simonv3 @antonlopez @elioqoshi there are several ways. You can dump the data via webdav in a random folder. A Nextcloud app could then read the data, parse it and visualize it. A nicer solution, in my opinion: A app which doesn't only visualize the data but also provides a endpoint to upload the data and directly store it in the database in a useful format. But both needs work/commitment by the gadgetbridge developers. As said in the issue, I would volunteer to work on the Nextcloud part. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Apr-2017 12:15:38 CEST Björn Schießle @elioqoshi there is still the Xiaomi Mi Band (probably not as feature-rich as a Pebble smart watch). But the Mi Band works quite well with Gadgetbridge. I also had some discussion with them regarding !Nextcloud integration. Not sure if it will happen but it would be possible and quite nice project. https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/issues/553 -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Monday, 24-Apr-2017 15:21:03 CEST Björn Schießle Moved to the git master and there it seems to work :-) A more general question. I had a quite general error in the log, just a 500. Is there a debug mode or something? Couldn't find anything in the doc, but it might be useful the next time. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Monday, 24-Apr-2017 13:33:23 CEST Björn Schießle Thanks. Btw, I just added my first contact. Afterwards my profile page was blank and I got a 500 in the apache log. After removing the contact the profile page worked again. But using Friendica without contacts is a bit pointless ;-) I use the latest stable version friendica-3.5.1 and the contact I added was another Friendica account. Any idea? -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Monday, 24-Apr-2017 12:32:09 CEST Björn Schießle Hm, the Friendica's global directory (http://dir.friendi.ca) seems to be offline. Is this only temporarily or is it gone forever? Just wondering because today I gave Friendica another try after a few months of absence. cc @heluecht maybe you know more :) -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Sunday, 23-Apr-2017 08:17:44 CEST Björn Schießle @gargron it is really great to see so much activities around Mastodon, not only on the users side but also on the dev side! I really hope that this will build a long lasting developer community. I have seen many great projects and ideas failing in the past because maintainers didn't manage to build a healthy community around it. My number one tip: integrate new devs as good as possible. Not only review their pull request but also ask them to review other pull request and give them merge rights as early as possible. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Saturday, 22-Apr-2017 08:10:58 CEST Björn Schießle On the way to the Augsburger Linuxtag, meet me at the #FSFE booth or during my #Nextcloud talk. https://www.luga.de/Aktionen/LIT-2017/
