is hikari good as a floating wm?

ldap is a central authority server. when you have ldap supported software, you can alliviate authorization to a central server. and if you make it so that you only need username for credentials (uid=%s,dc=example,dc=com in ldap jargon), you centralize your user database.

that’s what i use on my home server. it takes most of the user registration hassle away.

edit: by the way dc=example,dc=com is just an arbitrary value, you don’t have to have certbot certification for that or anything.

i don’t know if all of those forum software supports this but this is why we have OpenLDAP for. you can have username as a login criterion and not full username@site.tld. that way when you create a user in one place, you would have that same user everywhere.

freecad IS the tool for you. the learning curve may seem steep at first, but it’s really not. after you spend some time with it, things start to click. i love it.

there’s https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ but it’s not very user friendly.

at least we could try to eliminate the need for tld’s.

edit: and there’s also https://getaether.net/

if you’re looking for just a collaborative editor then there’s etherpad.

is this from louis rossmann’s company? the repo has grayjay, too.

and as if like there will be one monarch to rule them all! all by himself, waiting by the dock, preparing for a duel.

just because we don’t officially call it monarchy, people think that it’s a whole new system. every critique you have against monarchy is valid for the billionaires and vice versa.

jeff bezos is a monarch. he has an empire with people doing literal slave-work and practically untouchable by the judicial system. if you are not willing to overthrow him now, you won’t be willing to overthrow a “literal” monarch. same goes for every billionaire.

as there are middlemen protecting the billionaires now -like mass media, military industrial complex, heavily armed local police, union busters, corrupt judicial system etc.- there will be middlemen protecting the monarch then.

you think you would be willing to overthrow the monarch because it’s not real, a fantasy. but you’re willingly turning a blind eye to the exact same thing that is real and happening right now.

i think codeberg.org would be the flagship instance, since they’re the ones that has been supporting the development most as far as i can see.

to be fair, scientifically that is true for all buildings.

i guess it’s an instinct to want most people to move away from reddit (or windows, ms office etc.). but unfortunately this is not what free software is about. i’m not being cynical here, let me explain.

think of the time when you didn’t know anything about windows; you had to learn your way around, its quirks. now that you have used it for so long that those things have just become second nature.

i used identi.ca, i have been using mastodon for 4 years now, i started using lemmy last year, i have been using irc for i don’t know how long, i started using linux in 2005, i have been using floss professional audio software for more than 15 years, i’m even transitioning my professional arch/eng workflow to floss software.

know that free software is not for everyone, not because these are not capable, but because it’s hard to delearn and relearn a new workflow.

which means… lemmy most probably won’t be the new reddit, but it’s already a nice platform that it never needs to be the new reddit.

“…Their aim is not merely to create alternatives to the use of dollars, but an entire new set of institutional alternatives to the IMF and World Bank, the SWIFT bank clearing system, the International Criminal Court and the entire array of institutions that U.S. diplomats have hijacked from the United Nations…”

this should be the consequene of this war, this should be what we remember of this war. very hopeful.
