Good for you. Lucky guy/girl.
Good things for blender is the community is really strong and friendly. And lots of free high quality tutorials in YouTube and even in other streaming platform. Go donuts. We should cherish what the community have built and achieved.
Of course I took a look. I like pixelfed’s comment feature, but it lacks other features from immich and photo prism. Pixelfed is also written from php. I don’t know how many new developers will learn php and contribute to pixelfed. Thanks for the recommendation though.
I am more interested a self hosted Instagram solutions. I wish immich supports comments and emoji.
While I think some comments are true in general for other aspect of open source software zones, blender is a special case.
The target audience for blender are artists for movie, video and games. And these industries are very capital intensive and highly regulated by limited distributors. If you tell ppl you can only do blender instead of maya or other big names, it’s like a programmer tells ppl he can only do perl. Good luck for finding a job. Just like programming industry without microservice architecture, if the whole team use one language, you have to use that. Just do a job search.
Game engine is similar. If you don’t use unity or unreal. No aaa game for you. (Indie games are better in my personal opinion) So game assets made by blender is always second citizens.
Because of the above factors, third parties market place products’ price are always low. It’s good for buyers, but sucks for indie sellers. Compare the catalog between blender market place and daz3d’s market place.
Universities will only teach products like maya instead of blender, just like java. Policy makers don’t care about the best interest of students. Their policy is usually only outdated. Why java? They should only allow to use Nokia.
Unlike games, you can hardly try the indie route for movie. It’s either go big or go die. When do you see a blender movie being shown in your local cinema?
blender is the only free less professional choice. The problem is their target audience is so broke.
Maybe we should be glad about it
Maybe you don’t like it. Have you tried those ai for your logo?
Also, I think your project is really interesting. Good job!
I thought of writing a notes app too because sadly I can’t find something I want, even these has so many notes there already. So I have two questions for you:
Have you thought about switching to xilem in the future? I don’t mean to disrespect since I was waiting for a mature rust framework when I thought about starting my poc. I worry the gui framework I used get abandoned. (Tauri look nice, but I suspect editor is really performance demanding later. That’s why Raph have to pause/drop his ambitious editor project for his gui framework)
Have you thought about moving to client server model in the future? The reason is that I can hardly find a good open source project for platform for phone and allow multiple contributed authors. Maybe hacking/stitching wiki+markdown+git/syncthing is my dream.
Just random chit chat, don’t mean to pointing finger. And thanks for open sourcing your wonderful work.
I like their donation model. I hope they success.
Keep in min that this sw only supports x, not w/ Wayland. Chk the ticket for detail
Plz keep us update on your thoughts, progress, etc. There has very few posts on this topic.
Google etesync. It has everything you need and light weight and written in modern languages, python. It even supports e2e encryption and open source hosting option. You are welcome.
Very cool. You can check out ollama for hosting local ai model.
OIDC is an extension of OAuth2 that focuses on user authentication rather than user authorization. Once OIDC authenticates a user, it uses OAuth2 specifications to perform authorization.
The easiest way to support oidc is thru using lib from your framework/language. All major language should already have oidc lib. Take a look for authelia which has pretty nice doc. We host lots of app and we don’t want to login hundred times for each apps. It’s nice to login once only and all apps play nice to each other ;)
Is it for self-host ppl too?
For all projects/apps, I am looking for OIDC, S3 and PgSQL. It’s easier to implement these features earlier and these features will make any projects more popular in the self host community.
I don’t want an exact clone of Instagram server. Only publishing content to my friends instead of strangers is exactly what I want ;)
Btw, how does the others find a new client? Exposing ip to strangers from internet sounds horrible. Can we only allow connecting via links invitation with expiration?
Also check out https://getaether.net/ although this project is dead and it always don’t have enough ppl. They also have to implement a feature for removing illegal content.
I am glad we have Lemmy now.
Syncthing is such a wonderful project. RIP. But for us already being spoiled by syncthing, it might be a good time to self host services to handle, sync and serve our own data like photos, contacts and more.
Cool idea. I have always looked around to see any alternative for Instagram (server, not client) None of them are satisfied. I hope your app can eventually integrated with immich. For example, adding photos with specific tag will upload to the p2p network with strict group acl.
But you need to know where your family/friend are. Or can the system broadcast to multiple locations?
I saw some companies develop modern walkie talkie solution without wifi nor mobile signal for emergency rescue or expedition. But they are expensive.
I won’t waste time on things other than grafana if your setup is serious. Because you will always want more. Log aggregation, log query, alerts, tracing, profiling, oidc, s3 bucket, more and more dashboards. It’s addictive. Why waste time to redo it in the future?
Good to know. Ty.
I think we actually have similar conclusion.
We do agree blender has been achieved a lot, but it’s an unfair and uphill battle.
I never claimed blender has not been used by real studios. But the market share for blender is bad, ~3% according to my quick search. And it’s probably not from big studios. If we love something, I think we also have to be unbiased, so we can improve it.
My point is that instead of blaming the blender team, we should cherish how much blender team has been achieved and offered in this harsh territory.
