Fascinating. The model identifies the Harmonica by the hand position.

What are you saying? This is an open source project that is connected to the fediverse. It aims to be something comparable to soundcloud where people can share their music. What about this is says monetization?

chris , 2 months ago

I am unsure if I understand you correctly. Funkwhale is for you to publish music or other audio you make yourself. Not for your commercial music library. And the software itself is under the GNU AGPLv3. You can host the software yourself on your own server or you join an instance of someone else. Just like lemmy, mastodon or all the other fediverse projects.

Depending on your jurisdiction it is probably your responsibility to enforce your copyright. I can always just record your music off a streaming platform. You can attach a license to your song in funkwhale (see this). If you want DRM for your music then funkwhale is probably also not for your. You still have to enforce your self that nobody monetizes your works if you don't allow it. You can delete things from the fediverse if you know the source but I don't think funkwhale allows DRM protected music.

If you attach a license to your works that doesn't allow monetization and they monetize the app you can sue them. I doubt they will though. And they probably wouldn't be very successful because the app and the server are open source. You could just build the app without monetization. And someone probably would.

The upload and sharing copyrighted music probably falls into the hands of the instance admin. As with PeerTube it is probably not a good idea to have open signups. But everyone has to make sure that doesn't happen.

The fediverse is an open and very liberal space. If you want full control over your works it is probably not for you. No software with federation probably is. If you want and need to control over your works (which is legitimate) you need something with a tighter grip, maybe host the things yourself on your server with DRM. That doesn't mean it is bad for everyone.

The instance is down. Every instance copies the posts from the other instances when at least one person subscribes to it. So what you see is just the remnants of the instance on your instance.

I'm so glad I'm on my own instance.

Yes. If you don't connect it is pretty dumb and shouldn't be able to send your data for harvesting. You sould research if you can set it to one of the outputs permanently then you can use some external device that you trust.

What do you want to run via poe? How many poe ports? Is a poe injector also okay?

chris , 4 months ago

The lowest power option depends on what you attach. With a poe injector you can use a dumb switch and a poe injector as an external device.

The poe injector has usually 3 connections: power and 2 ethernet jacks. One ethernet neck is for plain ethernet the other one has added poe. It loops through the data but adds power to one of the ports.

To determine the lowest power option or is useful to know your minimum specs. How many ports do you need in total? Do you need smart capabilities? Do you need or want morn than one poe port?

Yes and no. For apple you can use their phones for quite a long time securely. For Android that is a very different story. As far as I know only Google with their new pixel phones and Samsung have offered more than 2 years of updates. After that time your phone becomes a security risk. So make sure your devices receives updates or can be used with a custom ROM (though that can be insecure as well).

Sometimes. It depends on the manufacturer. Some do more some don't promise anything. You have to know what you have. Also the support time starts usually at the start of sale not at the time of purchase. That means if you buy a new phone that was released a year ago on clearance or something you might have only half the time.

There have been a few bugs in the past years that let you take over a phone without user interaction. There was one where you only need to receive an SMS (it was invisible even) and your phone is infected. Another one was a vulnerability in wifi calling and voice over lte.

A phone is not a passive device that only gets something when you request it. You take also it with you to public places, use it in open wifi networks and you get calls. All that while being used for security critical stuff like 2FA, banking and payment.

You shouldn't use a phone without current security updates for much more than calling. It is a time bomb. If you want to educate yourself further you should look at "zero click vulnerabilities".

Your phone is rawdogging all it's connections. It can receive SMS and Phone calls without your intervention. There have been several zero-click bugs in the past that allowed injecting malicious code into your phone without any interaction.

It's not really green to bring ice to the UAE. I doubt there is a direct route between Iceland and the UAE.

The ActivityPub protocol works by sending out every action on one server to any subscribed server. The subscribed servers save this data and make it available to the local users. If it worked the way you described, every server on the fediverse would store all the data from the whole fediverse. That seems wasteful.
