  • Seems weird to me that there’s an AIO container that seems to contain other containers, but anyway I guess thats a synology thing.

    No, that’s a Nextcloud thing. From what I can tell, it seems to be the preferred way of setting up Nextcloud these days. https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one

    afaict it’s not that one container contains the containers, so much as one container is given control of the Docker socket so that it can create and control the other containers automatically.

    all those containers are “starting” because theyre waiting for one other container to finish “starting” before starting up themselves

    Apache and notify-push are waiting for Nextcloud. Nextcloud is waiting for Database. Whiteboard is waiting for Redis.

    I have no idea what’s wrong with Database, Redis, or Collabora, but their errors aren’t obviously related to dependencies, to me. (Collabora’s could be, but it’s at least a different type of dependency since the logs are mostly [ remotefontconfig_poll ] ERR Remote config server has response status code: 502 (Bad Gateway)| wsd/RemoteConfig.cpp:133. I’ve not really started looking into it since it’s a rather downstream component and the core components failing is more important.)

    Imaginary just says:

    Imaginary has started
    

    Is the 404 in the master container logs from you trying to access the instance in your browser?

    Doesn’t seem to be. Seems to add a new log periodically even when I don’t try to load it up. I’m guessing the 404 comes from some kind of automated uptime checker?








  • My take is that everyone does it for their own posts, it’s not actually that much effort. And it’s an amount of effort that’s worth it, to make the threadiverse a more welcoming and accessible place. If even one post I transcribe is seen by one blind or vision-impaired user, I’ll consider the work worth it.

    The fediverse broadly is already far better for accessibility than sites like Reddit and Twitter, with users in general far more likely to be aware of things they can do to promote access for users with special needs. But we can still do better, especially our threadiverse corner of the fediverse. Considering one of the reasons for outrage over Reddit dumping their API was the impact on users of blind-focused third-party apps, that’s particularly disappointing.



  • My ideal hope is that by modelling good behaviour, I can encourage more OPs to provide transcriptions themselves in the body or the alt-text field.

    If OPs take my transcriptions and edit it into the body, that’s pretty good too. Especially if more people take up the work so transcriptions get posted on posts that I don’t do myself.

    The algorithm is far too fickle for me to have even considered my comment getting upvoted to the top. Good if it happens I guess, but not in my consideration.




  • Transcription

    The stepping vs jumping on a rake meme, showing a stock image render of a person stepping on a rake and having it smack them in the face on top, and an image of a man doing a skateboard trick with a rake below, also landing on it.

    The man stepping on a rake is captioned “programming for the first time”.

    The man performing a trick with the rake is captioned “programming for the hundredth time”.



  • I’m not sure what “piece linked” you’re talking about, since none of the parent comments of this comment actually have a link in them.

    This is the first time I’ve ever heard of FUTO, but I did read their statement about open source and it sounds pretty good to me. I actually think they’re capitulating a little bit too much by deciding not to call it open source anymore. As far as I’m concerned, if the source is available and anyone can contribute, that’s open source. I don’t particularly care whether or not it’s free for Google to incorporate it into their increasingly-enshitified products or not.

    Creative Commons (an org to which FUTO says they have donated) doesn’t like their licences being used for software, presumably for finicky technical legal reasons. But if you imagine the broad spirit of their licences applying to software, all the main CC licences would be open source in my opinion. All combinations of Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share Alike, and No Derivatives, as well as CC0 respect the important elements of open source.
