I need to figure out how I can set up a self-hosted system to sell my documentary The Illusionists.

Sure, I could host it on PeerTube and add all kinds of foreign language subtitles there... but I need a solution to generate unique URLs for everyone who purchases a 48-hour streaming license... all this to avoid piracy of course.

Yes I know the Fediverse loves 🏴‍☠️​ but how can we independent filmmakers survive?

I've been using a mainstream platform to sell my film and they have just been bought by an infamous company, so I want to decamp ASAP.

I would love your suggestions.

And no, services that offer to sell digital products won't work because it's a 90 minute film that requires subtitles for many so the viewer needs to see it on an online platform that displays subtitles.

Auf Grund eines akuten Anfalls von Fettfingerrigkeit bestellte ich neulich FFP2 Masken in der Kindergröße, anstatt der regulären Größe. Da der Händler die falsch bestellten Masken, im Rahmen des "Umtauschs" in die Erwachsenengröße nicht zurück haben wollte, habe ich nun 120 FFP2 Masken in der Kindergröße übrig und zu verschenken. Die Masken kommen jeweils in 20er Packs. Bevorzugt würde ich möglichst viele en Block abgeben wollen, um Versandkosten zu sparen.

Thinking about all these repeated attempts to strip away privacy to make it easier for cops to catch bad guys.

And honestly, I get their point. Figuring out who dun the crime is really hard, there's a reason TV detectives are admired as such super-smart people.

But... I think it was Pratchett who wrote in one of his books that if it were up to the police, everybody in a city would be required to sit still in the open with their hands visible, to make their jobs easier. It would certainly reduce crime!

But the only reason they're asking for this is because people don't really understand what strong encryption is really for. If they were to ask for similar access to our physical lives, the push-back would be much, much stronger.

"Criminals often conceal themselves, or 'Hide Out' in residential buildings. They make use of so-called 'Curtains' or 'Drapes' to ensure that they remain hidden. This is why we want all homes to be built without curtain rails, introduce a curtain license (biometric ID required on application), and all curtains are to be fitted with a remote control device allowing any officer to open it from the outside. To alleviate privacy concerns, no officer will be allowed to operate their standard-issue curtain remote control without a warrant."

"Police were unable to capture a wanted criminal last night when they were stymied by a black market door-locking device known as a 'dead-bolt'. These ominously-named devices are designed to secure a door against entry by police officers and anybody else the occupant may wish to exclude. Privacy advocates point out that there are many other legitimate uses for these dead-bolts"

#Apple hat gestern(?) das "iPhone Pocket" vorgestellt.

Jetzt zerreißen sich die Kommentatoren die Münder über dieses hoffnungslos überteuerte Stückchen Stoff.
Und die Kommentare sind allesamt berechtigt.

Allerdings trifft das im Grunde auf jedes Modeaccessoire zu (und als solches sehe ich das "iPhone Pocket").
Alle, ausnahmslos alle, sind hoffnungslos überteuerte Unsinnigkeiten und Ausdruck der gesellschaftlichen Dekadenz.

Weniger ist mehr: Klare Regeln für Farbkontraste und semantische Bedeutungen schaffen Übersichtlichkeit, Transparenz und Vertrauen. Limettengrün für Bestätigungen, Rot für Warnungen. Konsequent umgesetzt, vermeiden sie kognitive Überlastung und manipulatives Design.

Strategische Farbwahl ist also nicht nur schön, sondern nachhaltig und rechtssicher. OpenTalk zeigt, wie moderne Farbgestaltung digitale Lösungen benutzerfreundlich und zukunftssicher macht.

It's common knowledge the fedi is full of geeks who love their Linux, but that's only one facet of the fedi.

It's also full of:

Lovers of mushrooms & insects

Musicians & fans who know all the deepest cuts of the music

People who love linking music to a theme, no matter how abstract

Artists, craftspeople, photographers

Lovers of random facts

Sharers of whatever is in their garden, park or green space

Furries & their conventions

Shares of photos of windows, doors, sea, flowers

Mini painters & table top role players

Board game players

The list goes on, if you want it, it's here, or you can create it ;)

¡Viva the fediverse!

Proč je konopí zakázané? Kvůli americkému rasismu, chamtivosti a lžím. medium.seznam.cz/clanek/esmera…

Proč je marihuana u nás zakázaná? Kvůli americkému rasismu, chamtivosti a lžím

Americká Deklarace nezávislosti je napsaná na konopném papíře. George Washington konopí pěstoval. V roce 1937 ho Amerika zakázala na základě rasistické propagandy a vymyšleným zločinům. Česko tento systém převzalo.
