Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): https://ifade.org.tr/engelliweb/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/
And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:
The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.
I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.
I don’t follow it very closely, but as far as I know, they are the only one implementing the open protocol they designed (which doesn’t interoperate with ActivityPub). However, there seems to be some efforts for creating a bridge: https://www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed
As you said, there are some recognizable faces and that may impact the adoption. But not being compatible with ActivityPub is a real bummer.
I think single account ActivityPub implementations are addressing a weakness of the Fediverse: one’s identity (handle, username) is tied to an instance they have no control over. If that instance shuts down users lose everything. With a single account instance, you take that control back. And since it doesn’t need to scale the architecture can be much simpler and can be deployed to much cheaper infrastructure.
The demo was not straightforward, though. And I didn’t quite get how a user can follow Mastodon users, for example.
I believe there is already a browser add on for this. Cannot remember the name right now.
Edit: I think this should be in Lemmy core.
I think you have a better chance if your instance focuses on a topic instead of being general purpose. That’s the reason I chose programming.dev. All communities there are related to programming so when I sort by “local” I see something interesting even though I haven’t subscribed to that community. And that increases my interaction with those communities.
Ok, maybe I misunderstood your question. I though you were proposing # instead of $ sudo and I meant to say that being explicit is better.
That sounds cool. Thanks for the recommendation.
What about the packages that are not available in flatpak? I assume there must be some packages that are only available in certain corners of the internet?
Thanks
Are there any other distros that are flatpak-only?
I don’t work much with Linux systems these days, but I would vote for $ sudo over #. Two reasons:
# is also used for comments. I think it would be confusing to use the same character for two wildly different things.Would love to see a browser based implementation of this.
Here is another implementation: Another Blog Resurrection, the Fediverse, and a New Comment System

Overheid.nl is the central access point to all information about government organisations of the Netherlands.
I think, in the short run, they are hoping some percentage of Rocky/Alma users will migrate to RHEL. I don’t believe they are really thinking about the long term.
Is Red Hat trying to kill downstream clones?
We cannot speak to Red Hat’s intentions, and can only point to the things they have said publicly. We have had an incredible working relationship with Red Hat through the life of AlmaLinux OS and we hope to see that continue.
The answer is “yes”. IBM is being IBM. They bought CentOS and hoped that would be the end of it, but then Rocky and Alma appeared. I don’t know why they didn’t foresee this happening.
Don’t they already have the names Leap and Tumbleweed? Changing the name to Leap would make sense since it’s the name of the “official LTS” version. At this point it sounds like “openSUSE” is the name of the project and not the distro. But I haven’t been following them closely, so perhaps I’m wrong.
