@epn4littlefedi
or die fighting for it :-)
he's actually a pretty decent guy. I read somewhere the whole thing is in rememberance of his late brother.
@stefano don't worry, I'll give it a good bashing.
This is my chance and I ain't gonna lose it !!

Done - dist/
Not heavily tested and probably still full of bugs, but I just shipped the visual editor build.
Looking forward to your feedback!
When it comes down to clients and littlefedi the worse performance is from tusky, which now refuses to display the server home feed altogether, standard mastodon, moshidon (nightly too) perform well
@kasperd@westergaard.social yes, you can switch from one view to another, or just continue with plain markdown.
I know there are other markup languages, but markdown is more or less the standard in the fediverse, so that's why we decided to support it.
@francois I would love Binface to win and make a mockery of the whole political system. And I tell you what ... he will achieve some of his pre election pledges unlike most of the political class
@francois I'll build and push it here in a few minutes. Not totally stable, yet, but it's worth trying 😉
@stefano I hate to say this, but it looks like you're right (again 😈 )
The markdown headers in my latest post were "eaten" by hometown. I'll file bug report with them, that'll teach them !
Two major intergalactic events are happening this week !
12 Aug: major eclipse
This one has been flogged to death, but I'll say it again: do not watch unless you have ISO 12312-2 glasses. There will be no warning pain: you'll be blind.
13 Aug: Clacton by-election
You're forgiven if you don't know what this all about. A british MP tried to avoid scrutiny by the ad-hoc committee of millions of sterling he received. Since the enquiry stops if he's no longer a MP, he decided to let the people judge and step down, thereby triggering an immediate by-election in his (former) constituency.
What he did not expect was that the other parties wouldn't play his game, so they do not present any candidate. As Tories, Labour and LibDem refuse to play farage's game at the byelection, Count BinFace declares himself up for the job.
I absolutely love this - it can go 2 ways, and both are equally enjoyable:
-
either farage is elected: his gamble failed (even though he won himself some time to hide the evidence) and the parliamentary enquiry resumes
-
or Count BinFace wins and farage looks like an idiot.
In a nutshell, people of Clacton have a choice between the bin or the garbage.
Sit down and pass the popcorn...
PS: for those not familiar with the UK election system, it is customary to have not-so-serious candidates / parties like The Official Monster Raving Loony Party, lead by Screaming Lord Sutch (RIP), today's Alan "Howling Laud" Hope, etc.
Should count BinFace win, we'll see if he makes good on his election pledges, such as capping the price of 99 Flake ice creams at 99p and becoming the UK entry for next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
@simona@mastodon.design if you want to test it now, I can give you an invite code to create an account on this instance. Just let me know!
@francois @fasnix video processing is currently null. We just serve the video, but don't process it at all. That's why we don't have thumbnails, for local videos, and trust the originating instances' ones for remote ones.
At some point, ffmpeg will be (optionally) integrated, for high power instances. But it's not considered a top priority, for now.
@fasnix @stefano
Guess you've seen Stefano's answer by now.
I don't know enough of the inner working of the system to know whether it makes sense but here are some points to consider:
- converting locally means you have to download them first, potentially quite a lot of storage (think video)
- while it is being converted it takes potentially twice the size
- converting adds to cpu requirement, which we don't want to do on a lesser box
- once you have your .yyy file instead of your .xxx you need to change the attachments references everywhere, potentially
-
- messy
-
- ressource consuming
For these reasons I prefer Stef's solution.
@simona@mastodon.design it's a Fediverse software we're implementing and will be easy to host. I think there will also be some public instances so...yes, totally suitable for non techies!
