It's nice to see how the #Fediverse is finally growing. Something we have been waiting for since 2008. I'm also glad that I'm present in the relatively cosy and friendly #Hubzilla corner of the Fediverse. Thank you all and keep being awesome.

I upgraded #Hubzilla in the hope this would solve my #android picture upload problem. Sadly it didn't. So no pictures of Swiss mountains from me for the foreseeable future.

IIRC there were no changes to the upload code since probably far before 3.6. No idea what could have break it for you...

@Mario Vavti possibly it broke when I switched to PHP 7. Maybe I forgot to install a dependency which is used to recognize an upload as an image. What could this be?

Edit: this doesn't explain why it only happens from mobile.

I just migrated my #ZFS mirror from small spinning disks to larger SSDs and I'm once more impressed with how easy this was. Basically I just added the new drives to the mirror, waited for the data to be copied over then removed the old ones. The ZFS pool then grew magically to the size of its new underlying partition.

Now, I can go back and concentrate on this migration of the Hubzilla database from MariaDB to Postgres. I'm still trying to tackle these NULL-dates which actually aren't NULL.

Ah yeah, and then there is this migration to PHP 7 I should look into before the next #Hubzilla upgrade.

I quite like the micro blogging format on GNU Social but #Hubzilla can do so much more. It basically replaced most web services I used to use.

Absolutely, it's still a tiny development team who deliver awesome work but have very limited ressources....

@grmpyoldman I tried to follow you from my #Hubzilla instance. I see your posts. Apparently the exchange is one-directional as you ask for @notnavigium

Since #hubzilla 2.6 I again see a lot of people in my timeline whose posts I didn't see for some time. It's nice to be more federated than ever :D

@mcnalu @perloid you guys are my test subjects to try #hubzilla to GNU Social/Mastodon connectivity...

I think this article pretty much sums up why I think #Hubzilla is such a great piece of software. I don't see the people in charge here making any of the mentioned mistakes.

#Hubzilla fullfils exactly the three points made in this article, even though it's not mentioned by name.

Apparently I accidentally ran a IPv6 only #hubzilla node since yesterday and I wondered why nobody says anything. It should be fixed now...

Finally my #FreeBSD server does regular automatic #ZFS snapshots and smartmontools monitor my disc drives. I wanted to get this sorted for a long time. Now my cloud and my #hubzilla site are just a tiny bit securer. I still lack proper backups though, I really should get that fixed too....

@Channel One+ @Hubzilla Support Forum+

Hey all,

Assuming I would ask some friends to register on my #hubzilla instance but I don't want them to force to publish their profile on a directory server, is there a way to only register user in a directory if they opt in?

Thanks,

Beni

Hmm.. that's weird, I don't have this setting, even though my account has "expert mode" activated and I'm running the latest (not dev) version.

Also, if I understand correctly this is a way to opt out of publishing the profile, but what I'm looking for is a way to make this "opt in", otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable to ask people to sign up for an account.

I'm very confused. It still seems to be hidden for me:

I don't know why.

Beni Grind

Sun, 26 Jun 2016 20:31:47 +0200

Ah, ok. now I get it. So to make hubzilla ask a new subscriber whether they want to be registered on a directory server, I would set system.default_permissions_role to custom? What's the exact value there? It's not mentioned here #^https://grindcore.ch/help/hidden_configs

giac hellvecio

Sun, 26 Jun 2016 20:35:27 +0200

Yes, the problem is the constant conflict between those who want some simple things and others who want more expert, or simply between those who want one thing, and those who want another thing, and in the end it is difficult to put all of agreement.

before, upon registration, one was asked if he wanted to enter or not in the directory. Now I do not see this anymore.

Beni Grind

Sun, 26 Jun 2016 20:56:22 +0200

I wouldn't feel comfortable forcing people to register in a global directory. After all, I tell people that's the reason why I don't use WhatsApp.

Sun, 26 Jun 2016 23:07:01 +0200

The "social private" configuration doesn't list you in the directory, although it has other side effects. Custom is a possibility. You could also write a very small plugin which catches the get_role_perms hook.

function my_role_perms(&$ret) {
if($ret['role'] == 'social')
$ret['directory_publish'] = false;
}

Beni Grind

Mon, 27 Jun 2016 05:22:57 +0200

@Mike Macgirvin Thank you for the info. The plugin would deactivate directory publishing for everyone, right? Then maybe using the social private option as default upon registration might be the best option. It still lets people change it to opt in.

@Redmatrix / Hubzilla Support Channel+

Hey all,

I posted a picture and some text on #Hubzilla and cross-posting to GNU Social was activated. Sadly only the text but no link to the picture arrived at GNU Social. Is this just not supported or is there a way to make this work?

My domain grindcore.ch has been offline for quite some time now (at least when it comes to ports 80 and 443). I was really too lazy to get a new certificate from StartSSL and reinstall everything. Now that we have #LetsEncrypt, getting certs is as easy as it gets. So grindcore.ch is back. This time on #Hubzilla instead of #Friendica.

Finally I've got my own #Hubzilla hub. Not everything's working yet (hello email), but at least it's up and running.
