Moin an das @Tutanota -Team, sagt bitte, in der aktuellen iOS Tuta Mail App ist die Druckfunktion nirgends zu finden. In der macOS App hingegen problemlos zu finden und funktioniert auch. Ebenso im Webmailer. Irgendeine Idee wieso in der iOS-App der Punkt Drucken nicht auftaucht? 😳 Bittedanke. #TutaMail #Tutanota #FediHelp

I could use some #FediHelp .

As my long-running readers are probably aware, I schedule a _lot_ of posts in advance. I use @bufferapp for this, and I am largely satisfied with this, except for one thing:

They have a fixed character limit of 500 for posts, and thus I cannot make use of the full 10,000 characters of my instance.

This is bad, since most of my scheduled posts are German folk tales exceeding this character limit, and thus I am forced to use screenshots instead of plain texts - which is terrible from an #accessibility point of view (yes, there are readers that can identify the text, but I'd rather use plain text in the first place). So I am looking for alternatives. Here are my requirements:

- It must have a web interface I can use on my desktop PC - I grew up with proper screens and keyboards, and while I _can_ use a smart phone or tablet for complex stuff, I do not find the experience enjoyable.
- It must have a calendar view instead of being a simple, scrollable list - I often schedule posts weeks in advance, and I want to be able to keep track of what is scheduled.
- It must make full use of the character limits of each instance.
- It must allow for scheduling threads - quite a few of the tales I am posting exceed the 10,000 character limit.
- It must work with #Mastodon . While I am aware that other #Fediverse systems (such as #Friendica ) have scheduling options of their own, switching to an entirely different system is a drastic step that I only want to explore when all other options have been exhausted.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click boost.

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

Fediverse friends, I'm looking to collect tips, advice and resources related to the following...

  • Trusted news sources
  • Social media not controlled / influenced by corporations, billionaires or governments
  • Guides on self-hosting
  • Private & secure communication tools/apps
  • Guides on digital security, privacy and "OpSec"
  • Ways to support your community (e.g. mutual aid, donations, etc...)
  • Anything else really

I will be adding them to this guide I've published and already started compiling (shellsharks.com/surviving-the-…). I've seen a lot of these things flying around in the wake of... well everything, and I've wanted to centralize it all in one place. For myself and for anyone else out there. Honestly I don't think there can be TOO many of these types of things. This info needs to be disseminated to everyone and made redundant.

Please forward anything you know about or have saved to me so I can add! Feel free to boost so others can contribute if they feel like it.

Most importantly, stay safe out there!

Are there accessibility-related projects hosted on GitHub that you'd like to see get some attention? We're working on something for Disability Pride month, and I'd love it if the community got a say in helping to shine light on good people doing great work. #accessibility #FediHelp

#Videos können in Webseiten nun responsive eingebettet werden.

Also die Größe des Videos passt sich automatisch an die Darstellungsgröße an. Auch Hochkantvideos werden nun *schöner* eingebettet.

Can't publish public when mentioning forum pages

@Friendica Support
Hi there,
not sure if this is a bug or just that I'm missing some idea/rule functionality.

#bugResearch

Platform Info: 2023.05 - stable | VIER | firefoxFriendica Version: 2023.05 - stable
Theme: VIER
Browser: firefox
Friendica Source: gitHub
PHP version: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
SQL version: MySQL / MariaDB
memory_limit 256M
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk

I didn't have a look at gitHub

Short bug description:When I try to publish publicly a post addressing two forum pages of this server, gimped and tutorial (tutorial is an account created with this profile), I get a restricted post and I don't understand why.

Details of the buggy behavior:I publish the post as public but it gets displayed as private, only visible for the forum page gimped that actually figures twice in the information card of the lock icon.
Also, I can't pin the post to my profile.

See image gif in screenshots spoiler

¿Possible to reproduce, if so how:This is the code of the post, it happens every time I try:
(somehow friendica alters the tags in this code)
#newHere #neuHier #hola

[img=https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/1024/480767]Gif scene of the movie "The Martian".

The lonely main actor is sitting on a stone on the inhabited planet he was left on alone.
A text reads:
"First day in the diaspora of the fediVerse .."

The astronaut is depicted how he opens the solar panels of his equipment, presses a big button on it and the hashtags #hola, #neuHier and #newHere appear.

In the last scene he sits again on his stone and the text: ".. wait .." is displayed.

In the first scene that reads the text about the first day in the fediVerse the probably oldest logo of the fediVerse is displayed at the bottom left of the scene. At the horizon on the right the actual logo of the the fediVerse rises behind the landscape.

In the last scene, while our hero is awaiting the outcome of his intent to make contact with the outside world, the old Federated Social Web logo appears in front of the sun.[/img]

Re-reading your question it looks to me that I didn't answer (get) your question @Simon John.

If you refer to user name, and hosting data I guess the answer is yes, it looks like plain text from the front end.
The password apparently at least can be protected by a general password manager.

Has there been general questioning of #FileZilla's safety?
Is there some recommendation for linux desktops?

Preparing to move the DB

Changing the #storage backend to reduce DB size.

Admin panel:

/admin/storageAdministration - Storage
Current Storage Backend: Database
Storage Configuration
Filesystem
Storage base path:storage
Folder where uploaded files are saved. For maximum security, This should be a path outside web server folder tree
Database
This backend doesn't have custom settings

Helpers-page information

/help/Settings#File+storage+backendFile upload
File storage backend
Set the backend used by #Friendica to store uploaded file data. Two storage backends are available with Friendica:
Database : Data is stored in a dedicated table in database (storage)
Filesystem : Data is stored as file on the filesystem.
Default value is 'Database (legacy)': it's the legacy way used to store data directly in database.
Existing data can be moved to the current active backend using the 'storage move' console command
If selected backend has configurable options, new fields are shown here.
Filesystem: Storage base path
The base path where Filesystem storage backend saves data.
For maximum security, this path should be outside the folder tree served by the web server: this way files can't be downloaded bypassing the privacy checks.
Default value is storage, that is the storage folder in Friendica code root folder.
Maximum Image Size
Maximum size in bytes of uploaded images. The default is set to 0, which means no limits.

friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS

@Friendica Support

Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.

As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.

This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.

I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.

I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

I've noticed that sometimes people on here post replies as public posts, while others seem to post them as unlisted instead. Is there a particular rule/convention for this? #FediHelp

Does anybody have an idea how to get an RSS feed containing events (NOT posts) newly added to a Facebook page, or add them to a calendar, or some similar solution that would scrape them for me? I'd like to keep up with local events as they pop up & fb seems to be the most popular way to organize them.

Fyi: I'm fine with stuff like running a tool through the command line or using a Python script in order to get this information, but anything requiring a server setup is out.
