Matrix is cool but its user base is not there yet.

[-] TheSaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 71 points 8 months ago

Then stop driving people to discord alone, at least use both so there’s an option

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 26 points 8 months ago

So... split the user (and support) base while invariably emphasizing the shortcomings of Matrix?

[-] variants@possumpat.io 36 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

You can link them together at least that's how the discord and matrix chats are for our instance are. I can chat from discord and get replies from people in matrix

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 7 points 8 months ago

Ah, I was not aware of a way to bridge two channels/servers entirely. I know there are bots that people use to bridge their user accounts though.

If it is fully seamless? Sure. But I don't know why you are bothering then. But if it adds a "Bot" tag or any other hoops, you are still just making a worse experience for everyone. We ran into this back in the IRC days all the time.

You can create a webhook in Discord and in Matrix that will share messages in channels back and forth

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 14 points 8 months ago

By that logic, why are you on lemmy?

Discord and matrix are not searchable, they shouldn't be used at all

Matrix is a terrible experience, honestly. It's incredibly slow and their "servers" don't really function as a community as much as a series of chat groups. I'm not fond of opening my chat app and then staring at it for 10-15 seconds while it loads all the new messages. And yes, I've tried different servers.

Discord is feature-rich. And now has the option to submit posts, which drastically increases usability and searchability. But it does have a big problem with privacy and ads.

Projects like this are much better suited for something like Gitlab.

I wonder why they don't just set up a forum

[-] ericjmorey@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

Perhaps they could create a community on programming.dev

[-] denast@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

I think Matrix suffers from some issues with large communities, for instance Graphene OS has already had to abandon 2-3 of their main group chats due to same bug and last time I checked (2-3 months ago) there has even been talks of switching to Discord. That is, just in case, a community of some of the most diehard privacy nerds btw

Is there the potential for SingleFile html archives rather than pdf & screenshots? I’d imagine it’d be a fair bit smaller file.

[-] cmhe@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

Or other standard archiving formats like WARC.

There also is https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox which looks a bit similar.

[-] Lem453@lemmy.ca 27 points 8 months ago

Thank you for including oAuth options for sign on. Makes a big difference being able to use the same account for all the things like freshRSS, seafile, immich etc.

[-] Kir@feddit.it 5 points 8 months ago

I'm intrigued. How does it work? Do you have a link or an article to point me to?

[-] Lem453@lemmy.ca 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The general principle is called single sign on (sso).

The idea is that instead of each all keeping track of users itself, there is another app (sometimes called an identity provider) that does this. Then when you try to log into an app, it takes to the to login of your identity provider instead. When the IP says you are the correct user, it sends a token to the app saying to let you access your account.

The huge benefits are if you are already logged into the IP on a browser for example, the other apps will login automatically without having to put in your password again.

Also for me the biggest benefit is not having to manage passwords for a large number of apps so family that uses my server have 1 account which gives them access to jellyfin, seafile, immich, freshrss etc. If they change that password it changes it for everything. You can enforce minimum password requirements. You can also add 2FA to any app now immediately.

I use Authentik as my identity provider: https://goauthentik.io/https://goauthentik.io/

There's good guides to settings it up with traefik so that you get let encrypt certificates and can use traefik for proxy authentication on web based apps like sonarr. There are many different authentication methods an app can choose to use and Authentik essentially supports everything.

SSO should really be the standard for self hosted apps because this way they don't have to worry about ensuring they have the latest security for user management etc. The app just allows a dedicated identity provider to worry about user management security so the app devs can focus on just the app.

Using it since 2 months now and I really like it. Was totally worth a donation👍

[-] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Thanks!

[-] astraeus@programming.dev 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I’ve been using ArchiveBox, this looks a bit more feature-full than ArchiveBox although it seems like ArchiveBox has been pretty stable. Anyone have experience with both, can vouch for the pros and cons?

I may take some time to compare the two. After taking another look at Linkwarden I get the impression it may handle archiving pages differently than ArchiveBox, which isn’t a bad thing it may just not fit the usage of everyone who uses ArchiveBox. The presentation and UI look really good, which is something I find ArchiveBox suffers a bit from.

[-] stackPeek@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

I actually tried to build Raindrop.io-clone like this one one day, but never got the time to work fully on it... Congrats OP!

[-] Decronym@lemmy.decronym.xyz 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters
IP	Internet Protocol
NAS	Network-Attached Storage
SMTP	Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SSO	Single Sign-On

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 14 acronyms.

Pretty sure the IP detected was a user talking about ‘identity provider(s)’ and not Internet Protocol.

[-] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Archivebox is in my obsidian workflow, it grabs every link in my vault and archives it. I didn't see an API in linkwarden, perhaps I missed it.

How does making collections public work if you're self hosting?

[-] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Like this: https://cloud.linkwarden.app/public/collections/118

[-] ericjmorey@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

What value can this bring me over features available using a Mozilla (Firefox) account and the Official Wayback Machine Browser Extension?

[-] daniel31x13@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Collaboration, making your collections public, better organization, self-hostedness (idk if that's a word), better UI and so on...

[-] ericjmorey@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

Thank you for responding quickly

FYI, if you have a synology NAS and want to self-host using the docker install, these instructions work: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-linkwarden-on-your-synology-nas/

[-] 7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I wish it was database agnostic. And I'm slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.

It does look awesome, and I'll revisit it to see where things are in six months.

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

This looks like a good replacement for Raindrop.io

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Amazing! Have wanted something like this for years, currently use raindrop but not fully, very hesitant of locking myself in. This looks very promising.

I can imagine that news orgs won't like having publicly available backups of their subscriber only content. Is this a problem that has been considered?

Also, somewhat related, are the plans to turn this a little bit into a P2P archive.org? I mean, if multiple people store snapshots of webpages at different times, the timeline could be rebuilt using their publicly available snapshots.

Now that would be cool!

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah. I expect basically any publicly available instances to get C&Ds REAL fast.

And a p2p archive.org will basically never work. For the same reasons that the various NSFW lemmy instances get defederated from almost instantly. Because there is room for discussion on sites that highlight nudity in movies. There isn't much room to discuss when it is nothing but revenge porn, "fappening links", ripped OF content, and (inevitably) child porn.

Stuff like this... I am sure there are niches but I am not seeing a lot of benefit over either a folder or a notes app that lets me upload PDFs (or even just google drive). But once you try to build a "community" you are going to have the same moderation issues amplified a hundred fold.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

I'm not sure I understand your thoughts on p2p archive.org . What does it have to do with NSFW lemmy? I don't follow.

Installed and no way to login, see this in your GH issues:

https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/415

This is a fresh install as about 10 minutes ago so using the :latest tag which I believe is the v 2.4.8 build. Signing up is possible and I was able to create my user account so that's a good start at least. :)

[-] fox@lemmy.fakecake.org 4 points 8 months ago

looks very nice, thanks. would appreciate better documenting of SMTP options (login & password) and support for Authelia.
