I might also be interested... as my peertube is up and down quite a bit
@cubicgarden@mas.to hell yeah man! Feel free to shoot me an email at btfree@btfree.org or I'm on matrix @ozoned:matrix.org or signal ozoned.01 . 😊
Day 2 of #FediForum was epic. Once again I find myself with a hankering to self host a Peertube, try out Bonfire, and get involved in a bunch of stuff that I absolutely do not have the spell slots for!
See you tomorrow, nerds!
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales if you ever need a hand, plenty of us here to help! 😄

@ozoned concur but I stand by my "it's not the everything OS for non techies" comment.
I'm more techie than the average person but still a non techy person and I really struggled to install Linux even with help from several techy people via Mastodon!
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales That's fair. Have you installed Windows before? I haven't installed it in like 20 years, so I honestly have no clue how easy or difficult that has become. Windows is installed everywhere doesn't need installed though and that is a MASSIVE advantage for Windows.
I think thought what I meant more is that Linux can do everything and can be on every platofmr. Definitely not easy to install though and CLI isn't easy at all. 😁

Weird things to come out of #FediForum - me wanting to have it out with @ozoned about how Linux isn't an everything OS!
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales I use Linux for everything! My wife asked why I was feeding my children Linux and I yelled "BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR THEM!"
😊 I totally agree. it does NOT fit EVERY use case. But at what point do we consider "everything" the thing that covers majority of use cases?
But I agree. Use the right tools. 😊
I'm a pragmatic extremist I guess? 😁

Good day all! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!
Special Guest: @lminiero@fosstodon.org
I'm getting older but, unlike whisky, I'm not getting any better. Author of the Janus WebRTC Server, the imquic QUIC library and the KIAVC adventure engine, and a VERY amateur musician (and an even more amateur game developer)
So don't miss it!

Social Web Foundation would love for you to answer its survey on sustainability: socialwebfoundation.org/2026...
@ozoned@btfree.social sure thing. You can also just DM me here... Although I'm not sure how well the DMs work between Bonfire and NodeBB.
@julian@activitypub.space Yeah, DMs work great, but it seems there's some compatability issues and I'm running Bonfire's bleeding edge so I can never know when something is breaking. 😁 So I'd rather go with plain old boring email atm. 😊

@anca@mastodon.xyz SOMEONE didn't watch my episode with @julian@activitypub.space ! 😉
lol yeah, it's not getting Federation. It HAS Federation.
Julian has been ACTIVELY developing not only AP in NodeBB, but, and he can correct me if I'm wrong, he's heading up some SWG and some specs. 😊
I'd love to see a better implementation to bring the THREADIVERSE closer to the FEDIVERSE, but right now NodeBB interoperates GREAT with PieFed. 😊
@ozoned@btfree.social sure, let's make it happen haha
@julian@activitypub.space hell yeah. Can I use the nodebb.org/contact page to reach you through email so we can discuss there as to a good time? 😊
I've NEVER installed a forum software, so I am VERY indimated. 😁 lol but I know with you there, I'll have a LOT of help. lol

@firesidefedi Confirm how? That I see it? If so; maaaaaaaaaaaaybe…
@gnilleps@mastodon.art confirm just like that! Thank you so much! 😁
@firesidefedi
PASS
@badnetmask@hachyderm.io thank you for verifying. <3
I see this post. Keep up the good work.
@thefulcrum@www.thefulcrum.dev Thank you! 😊
Just updated Bonfire. Its 0630 UTC-4 4-29-26.
Can anyone confirm this test please?
❤️

@anca@mastodon.xyz if we do it and @ozoned@btfree.social can't hack it does it get published anyway 😝
@julian@activitypub.space oh ABSOLUTELY! I'm not against embarrassing myself if it draws attention to all the amazing folks and projects on the Fediverse.
But it's also educational for the audience as well as the developer. Because seeing how people interpret your docs can help understand how to refine them. And then the video could be used as a rough tutorial for installation if you don't have one.
And I will fall. Lol but I can ask the Dev for help and guidance and we talk about the project, etc.
But like fireside Fedi it's meant to be fun. 😄
Interested Julian?
