@huppakee @SystemOfAnUp This is interesting as you point out one of the reasons that people use Credit Card Payment networks is the consumer protection that comes from credit contract legislation. That has a cost ( It costs the banks to provide the protection) which os recovered through the payment processing charges paid for by the merchant and I guess also offset by interest charges earned from the card user. But what if the card issuer could offer that protection independlty of the payment network and/or recover the cost some other way (either from the merchant or the card user)

@pix3lover #OsmAnd is very useful for offline maps.

@warmaster Cheers. Ideally we would bring everything together. I guess Wordpress is a bit different though. Maybe i should have web hosting…

@medem Opps many I should have mentioned them … @mailbox_org

@medem Cool … On pricing do you know what the Groupware groups limit of 1 on their Silver level means practically? Does that mean only one group in Nextcloud? The jump to €75 per month for Gold would be to expensive for them.

@gratux I missed they do Nextcloud. Might be a good choice.

Now I can’t help them when it comes to #gotosocial - So perhaps others can chip in.

My thoughts were that with separate subdomains (or domains ) in Yunohost you can separate out instances for Family/Friends and the group they belong to but

I’m also aware that some #ActivityPub servers can run multiple separte instances for different groups while optimising federation - I think #takake did that - but again I don’t know much about that approach -

When it comes to the questiona bout being maintained. THat is a question a group I belong to has been considering since they worry about having to maintain infrastructure for a Sports Club and don’t want to get bogged down in keeping the lights on - Here I guess I think using templates where possible (which I think Yunohost is kind of ) and professional support for #Opensource solutions might come in handy . (people like #autonomic I guess - or just having enough people in your group to provide the support…

interesting use case, but is it possible to separate friends and family members on the instance somehow? Because it sounds really good to protect all people who are close to you, but they don’t have to know what the “other chatroom” is about.

And the link gave me flashbacks, because I tried to create my own lemmy instance. I worked every day for a month on it to throw it away in the end. It had so many bugs and a few seconds after my instance was online, I had weird conversations in my database, which couldn’t be seen in the UI. And talking about the issues with the creator of lemmy was a little bit a pain, too.

After this, I’ve started a classical forum (flarum), because it looked like the fediverse is doing weird things, like polluting the database with garbage.

> Doesnt need to be Mastodon - could be Friendica or Gotosocial

I don’t get the concept of gotosocial? It’s like having a Mastodon instance with yourself. How do people find you?

I guess it’s not made for creators, but for nerdy consumers, right?

> Lots of ways to simplify the process - I use Yunohost gives me Email, >Nextcloud and ActivityPub for friends and family

That’s for sure, but there is still the problem that it must be maintained and if you already have a community, it would be really easy, but without a community or even people who know what this is, you have to do it all by your own. This could be stressful and depressing (imho).

gotosocial looks like it could work, but not for the whole family :D

@JustEnoughDucks Err I have a heap that are new and unused (still in their box) that am about to have to go through the effort of putting online to sell. - The only thing - they are in the UK - I’m not sure if Beligum allows for low value items to be delivered without Customs from outside the EU. (Its a pain sending anything to Spain post Brexit. ) - Of course if you ever in the UK …

@cmeu What kind of custom firmware do you use? Is that #openwrt - if not consider it.

Check with your FTTN provider - Are they using CGNAT or any other IP4 sharing tech - if so you will need to see if they will do you a static IP or otherwise except you from IP sharing.

At least outside the US most ISPs will let you use your own router with their Fibre modem but if not you need to know how to get their device into bridge mode or at least forward some ports to your own devices.

@Socket462 Yeah I did some dry runs and the folders maoped but I think its something about the labels … Ill dig further.

That info about running via cron is really useful.

@Socket462 Thanks yeah. I think you are right. I have managed to have some success with extracting emails from #Gmail using #imapsync. I’ve done a couple of test runs but think that I have an issue with labels (basically I end up with emails in the All Mail folder but not in Sent or Inbox ) so I think I need to look at the options a bit.

Where should I / would you keep scripts that I create to run either one off or on a regular basis ? Should I create a folder in /etc/imapsync ? I have never really understood the folder structure of Linux despite trying to read up on it a few times.

@Evkob Cheers! I think Im going to load up on Spanish Apps. I like #eroski - They are a coop.

@Evkob Sometimes I’m in Spain

@merde I know this is silly but I’d like the Eroski App from Spain

@merde I looked more . I don’t think you can - community.e.foundation/t/auror… - So Google App Store uses the region of the Google Account (which can only be one region and is determined by Google not me)

@Fisch
Unlikely but check doc.e.foundation/what-s-e
@SuperSaiyanSwag

I was looking at options such as a Degoogled #Android Tablet or something like a HP Pro X2 Tablet 612 G2 with #Ubuntu. Then the software is the key. #HomeAssistant I guess would provide the UI - hopefully with voice. I’m still trying to get a jitsi instance running on #yunohost

I also found this thing. Which has an interesting form factor but no idea what the underlying spec is banana-pi.org/web/index.php?to…
