@Panda said in Sudonix and fediverse: Federation will have huge advantages, especially for starting off forums that would otherwise be quiet, because it can bring in posts from similar sites to increase content. Can’t say I agree with this statement. To me, if I visit a new forum, I’d much rather be viewing original content rather than that which I can easily consume elsewhere. I understand that new forums are often empty with not much content, but the growth needs to be organic rather than ingested from elsewhere to make it look busy. Using RSS feeds to pull in content from remote sites is fine as long as you use it for reading reference and create a discussion around the topic you are referring to (as I do with Sudonix), but absolutely pointless if you include the entire article and all associated responses - you may as well just visit the origin site instead. Another issue is SEO and the impact duplicated content will have on your own forum when it comes to Google indexing your site. Duplicated content negatively impacts SEO and in addition, that same content may be proprietary meaning you need permission to include it on your site. Potentially, it’s a legal minefield which should be treated with trepidation to ensure no copyright infringement takes place.

No problem dude ! I hope you have a good vacation. Enjoy your loved ones!

@phenomlab Yes, I updated it right away after I created the password when first setting it up. Then I made my configurations.

@phenomlab said in Corporate Bullshit Generator: Yes, absolutely. Either those buzzwords get cheesier or I’m just getting older and less tolerant. I think it is both LOL

@Madchatthew still a great catch.

My daughter needed a new tablet, which was an older Samsung. My wife wanted to get her an Ipad. Fortunately, I was able to talk her out of that and show her how much better an android tablet would be. Preferably the Samsung S9 Ultra tablet. By the way, that thing is outstanding! Great purchase!

@phenomlab yeah you have a good point there. Information over lives just doesn’t seem to be worth it. And being the one to release that info and be the one who first put it out there, you may be on the right track about the notoriety.

@Madchatthew said in TNG + Nodebb: you have to try and use duck tape and super glue to change something to make it do what you want it to do I couldn’t have put that better myself.

Yes that is very awesome and I really like that idea! Great job with thinking that up!!

@phenomlab That is very awesome!

@Madchatthew No way - I want people to post here! That’s the point of this platform.

@Madchatthew You might be sorry you asked This is the mentoring category below. Presently, it’s unused, but we have a dedicated area for it. https://sudonix.org/category/8/mentoring Other services https://sudonix.org/services

The perfect solution and walkthrough Mark, appreciated as always!

@phenomlab and that is the exact moment you double click on the browser icon and start typing away what you want to search for haha

@phenomlab said in Proton launch password manager: will charge for it no matter if you have the full-blown package like I have. If they offered a discount or another incentive, I may well have taken a different view, but to me, it just seems like easy revenue. Much like Surfshark do, they are owned by the same company now and you can tell, there’s always something extra cropping up like dedicated IPs, loads of discounts thrown your way which is fair enough but I don’t think you should have to them thrown at you constantly . Fortunately Proton have kept things simple and have all products under one roof should you buy the right package.

@phenomlab thank you very much for the assistance Mark, massively appreciated as always. The great thing about this is it’s all documented for other NodeBB users that come looking for solutions . Looks far better .

@Madchatthew hmm, yes, that might be problematic.

@phenomlab Yeah I will have to check that out. I don’t remember when the last time it was updated. That was a good article too by the way.

@phenomlab LOL ah yes, I remember all of that. The good ole days!

@JAC wow. Thanks for the great comments. They are truly appreciated. I tend to agree with the social media comments you’ve made. This is made all the more prominent in relation to recent events in Southport for example, and toxicity is a huge issue. Just look at some of the comments from trolls - they are truly disgusting, and the perpetrators seem to take great delight in the anonymity the Internet affords them. forums in general are much more subject focused, easier to moderate and users are less likely to be banned because they are there for a specific interest or reason, not to cause trouble. Agreed, although discussions can still get out of hand and quite often, these are left to run riot and quickly spiral out of control. A great example of that is here https://sudonix.org/topic/141/how-to-destroy-a-community-before-it-s-even-built there’s something much more calming about coming to a specific page at your fancy, posting and taking part in healthy debates over the real mishmash of social media. Yes, I personally prefer the atmosphere of a forum against the backdrop of unwanted noise via social media.
