How can we help Kbin with their spam problem without having to defederate them?
Why is is such an issue for Kbin relative to Lemmy (like lemmy.world etc)? Are the larger Lemmy instances better funded or have better mod recruitment or is it a geographical thing?
/kbin speaks ActivityPub but is an entirely different software stack. It has some big bugs with federation (specifically around admin actions like spam removal).
The primary instance (kbin.social) also doesn’t have a very good team of mods/admins keeping up with the influx of spam.
Lemmy was about two years old when the reddit exodus happened, whereas /kbin had only been around for about a month. Its sole developer/admin is very overwhelmed just trying to keep everything running (and trying to, you know, live).
The project needs help, but I don’t think Ernest has enough trustworthy people in his circle to delegate responsibilities.
I don’t know, but 90% of the spam I see is from new accounts on Kbin.
I’m all for diversity in the Fediverse, but something’s not working right over there.
Couldn’t come up with a question yourself eh? :)
What’s the best way to implement Access Control Protocol on my WebDAV server that uses generic streams for resources, so that it can be agnostic to storage systems through adapters like the file system adapter?
I was thinking to have another kind of adapter for users/groups/permissions. Or should I add that functionality to the existing adapters? I’m not sure how to proceed.
It also needs to work with generic authenticators, like this one that authenticates with PAM.
Great question, you really higlighted the problem. You already know the answer for this question and I believe that this is the perfect challenge for you and I think you are ready to be this project’s manager. You have my full suport, just let me know before compromising any budget. Don’t thank me for the oportunity, thank yourself for your proactivity.
What’s the best horror film for Halloween?
Beam Stoker’s Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola
The Ring is more psychological but its the only vanilla horror I care for
Nightmare Before Christmas or anything Tim Burton, really
That’s a Christmas movie and you know it
It has a Halloween department
The Woman In Black
Why does everything I try to fix around my house somehow end up worse?
Because if it ain’t broke, you’re not supposed to take it apart and fix it.
Yep, that was my first mistake.
Do you buy good shit the first time around or do you—lets call it “economize”?
It doesn’t seem to matter. Either the part is obsolete, or there’s an unknown tool that I don’t have. I replaced a tub diverter, and it still leaks. Now I’ve gotta replace the whole faucet, then the pipes, then the house.
I can only lean on the insight to make sure you buy good stuff even if its more expensive but also ask for reviews on relevant communities to make sure you have the good stuff and also for advice to best implement and maintain whatever is involved. Stich in time saves nine and all that.
Sorry, this prolly isnt super useful.
Edit: YouTube is excellent for getting to watch how to carry out new or improved processes to do whatever it is you’re aiming for or to get ideas on best practices if they have decent credibillity and usually a good proxy for that is their subscriber base
Edit: like I guess in a sense what I’m also getting at is don’t necessarily always try to go it alone or reinvent the wheel if you are not experienced and know as a matter of fact any shortcuts or “hacks” that are relevant and don’t create unnecessary breaking points or overly exerts on various links in the overall sysytem. Watch the YouTube video for all that: what product(s) to aquire + use, how to do it, rehearse the process before you do anything with finality or that requires delicate detailed manipulations of whatever is at issue.
Thanks. I just wish things were standardized and not proprietary. It would really help if manufacturers didn’t all have their own standards. Also, it’s never labeled. How am I supposed to know if the faucet is a moen or a pfister. They all look alike.
Because you don’t know the tricks of the trade like professionals do
If anyone had a question to ask they would make a post here themselves. 🤔
Some people don’t think their thoughts are good enough to warrant their own post. But they might be more receptive to making a comment.
Why hasn’t anybody taken over the Stratego Multi Player app?
