lemmy.abnormalbeings.space25/04/05 A proper backup plan, Mastodon update + learning experience, PeerTube changes, looking for mods - State of abnormalbeings.space - AbnormalLemmingsSince the last update [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/post/587275], there haven’t been any sweeping changes, but enough for a report, including one that should put people at ease: Yes, you won’t be raw dogging these services no longer, thanks to greater financial security from the donation mentioned in the last update, I was able to start this month’s budgeting by booking a separate storage for: ::: spoiler REGULAR BACKUPS Until now, my backup “plan” was, “I upload a backup image to a local NAS here at home, that has very old second hand HDDs, whenever I manage to remember”. That was… not acceptable, really. I will now have borgbackup running for incremental backups to a separate storage box by Hetzner (in Germany instead of Finland, for one more degree of separation). There will be separate, complete, incremental backups daily/weekly/monthly, starting today. It won’t guarantee data security on the same level as even more professional services, but I think anyone using this instance or others can rest a little more easily. ::: :::spoiler MASTODON UPDATE Another thing people can probably rest a bit more easily about: There was a minor update for mastodon, which I applied to toots.abnormalbeings.space [https://toots.abnormalbeings.space/home], bringing it up to date to version 4.3.7. Beyond just quickly giving a heads-up to report any potential issues, this is noteworthy, because it came with me learning a very important lesson about environment sanitising, that more experienced folks probably though to be self-evident. You can check out my learning journey here if you are interested. [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/post/804932] Having the opportunity to learn about what are best practices - one of the Achilles heels of, I wager, not just me as a self-taught admin - is great, especially if the learning process and answers can add to the fund of knowledge within the Fediverse! ::: ::: spoiler PEERTUBE CHANGES Videos.abnormalbeings.space [https://videos.abnormalbeings.space/home] saw some changes, too. I, sadly, had to change up the registration process to manually confirming users again, as I had several accounts registering - sometimes avoiding bans with throwaway mail addresses - and uploading at best highly suspicious content that I was not able to moderate due to language barrier, or just videos outright against the rules. Additionally, I updated the about info, structured it more, removed redundancy of the rules, clarified moderation policy and added more contaft info. Changes can be viewed here. [https://videos.abnormalbeings.space/about/instance/home] There’s also been some changes to the landing page [https://videos.abnormalbeings.space/home] - now sporting current livestreams, as well as a separate small section for trending local videos: [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/55afc263-d0ad-4ef2-8af1-3fc71018947f.png] [https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/pictrs/image/6cf5231e-c891-4020-936b-dbd357e795a8.png] Alongside this, I will now start to weekly rotate the recommended channels list, rotating the last row into first place, as to make it a fairer system for channels that ended up at the bottom before. There really is little rhyme or reason to the way I sorted them, so this seemed like a good compromise to me. Also, in good news: the amount of accounts on videos.abnormalbeings.space has ballooned up to 30+ (including 3 accounts created by myself). This is some great growth, and I am happy to say, that there has been some legitimate content appearing on there, beyond my silly meme videos and that one trailer for my by now very old game. Thank you all for putting your trust in me, server resources still allow for a lot more users! (This goes even more so for Lemmy and Mastodon, of course). ::: ::: spoiler LOOKING FOR MODS Realising the user growth on particularly PeerTube, I’d also be very interested in people applying as volunteer moderators. You’d have to have a local account on at least the service you want to mod, plus on matrix [https://matrix.to/#/#abnormalbeings:matrix.abnormalbeings.space] for behind-the-scenes discussion. Applications are welcome on matrix, in the Applications channel! [https://matrix.to/#/#applications:matrix.abnormalbeings.space] Bonus points if you speak other languages than English and German, which I have covered! Currently, it would 100% be a volunteer position. Long term, if this project ends up getting more in donations than the server cost, I’d think it would be cool to share any excess with an established mod/admin team - but that sentence right here should be, at this point, treated as “a random thought I am having.” I can neither promise that amount of donations ever happening, nor promise that being possible easily whenever it were to happen. ::: And that is that for the newest state of the server update. Thank you for reading, thank you for using the Fediverse, stay awesome!

Interessant, zu Beginn wird #JBK per Einblendung als #Moderator bezeichnet, später als Moderator und #Journalist. Was macht ein Journalist, wenn er ein Thema angeht? Er bereitet sich vor.

#Kerner? Nicht.

Zur Vorbereitung gehört ja nicht nur, das #Buch gelesen und eine #Meinung zu haben.
JBK hätte sich wohl auch zu Aspekten der #Literaturkritik vorbereiten müssen, um zu wissen, was von ihm erwartet wird. Aber JBK hat keine journalistische Qualifikation.

#Fernsehen 🇩🇪
Bald schon zwei Jahrzehnte produziert der #HessischerRundfunk (#hr) die Wissenssendung „#alleswissen“ am Donnerstagabend, doch im #März wird das #Format eingestellt.
Vermutlich aus Kostengründen steigt der hr künftig in die Produktion der verwandten #WDR-#Sendung#Quarks“ ein und zeigt die neue Gemeinschaftsproduktion auf gelerntem #Sendeplatz.
Der langjährige #Moderator #ThomasRanft wird ins Quarks-Team wechseln.
#Premiere ist am 20. März.

Our comprehensive #Moderator Handbook is in the final stages of editing and will soon be available as a valuable resource for both new and experienced moderators. We plan to introduce hash and match services to identify and manage non-consensual intimate imagery and terrorist and violent extremist content, using platforms like StopNCII and GIFCT.

You can track our in-progress and planned activities on our [Activity Tracker page: connect.iftas.org/library/ifta .

My #fedivision (#vision inspired by the #fediverse): Within the next 20 years people will begin to transfer the structure of the fediverse and how it is managed to the real world.

Citizens will be able to choose the country they wanna live in just the way they today choose the software (#friendica #mastodon #misskey ...), the server and the app they use to socially interact with each other. If they don't like how their server (formerly known as country) is governed they can pack their things and move to another one with close to zero transaction cost.

Today users can voluntarily give money to admins to pay communication infrastructure like #servers and cost's for #administration & #moderation. Today we all are obliged to pay #taxes (except for clever antisocial actor's) in our countries. In the future we can decide where (if at all) our money goes to. There will be admins and servers that have special real world agendas (green energy, strengthening local communities, raising awareness for minorities, air taxis ...) And there might even be servers that pay their users for being there. This money will be demanded from #companies or other non-social actor's like #billionaire's for not de-federating them. They will pay the fee's as it will be their only way to socially interact with or show commercials to others.

In 20 years admins and moderators will be what #politicians and #bureaucrats are today. Servers are what countries are today. Just like #Wikipedia is today what the Encyclopædia Britannica was 20 years ago.

#Digitalradio 🇩🇪
Es war eher unwürdig wie der Bayerische Rundfunk sich Ende vergangenen Jahres von seinem #Kult-#Moderator #FritzEgner trennte.
Doch nun bahnt sich ein #Comeback im #Privatradio an.
In einem Zeitungsinterview gab Egner an, dass er Angebote von mehreren Sendern bekommen habe und Ende #Februar eine erste #Sendung moderieren werde, welche dann wöchentlich #onAir gehen soll.
Egner nannte dabei noch nicht den #Sender, nur dass es sich um ein #bundesweit|es #Programm handelt.

Ich stehe mit meinem Namen für unabhängigen sowie objektiven Journalismus. Demzufolge spreche ich mit allen Seiten. So habe ich es beim Sender Freies Berlin (der SFB war ein öffentlich-rechtlicher ARD-Sender) und beim RIAS Berlin (dem ehemaligen Rundfunk im amerikanischen Sektor - RIAS: Eine freie Stimme der freien Welt) in Berlin (West) gelernt.

Panische Reaktionen auf politische Statements pro AfD von Elon Musk. Warum aber bleibt der Sturm der Entrüstung bei der Einmischung von links aus?
Das habe ich in der aktuellen Folge meiner TV-Talkshow MEINE MEINUNG mit dem Politiker Jan Jacobi (CDU/CDA) und dem Journalisten Klaus Kelle zu klären versucht. youtu.be/dBrzo0bC8HM?si=pJoCst

#PSA Reminder that the numerous accounts popping up claiming to be people in #Gaza trying to survive #Netanyahu's attempted #genocide are not verified, and are, as far as #moderation can tell, mostly #scam accounts.

There are international organizations on the ground, trying to smuggle in food and medical supplies, and sneak people out. They are not charging money to #palestinian families, and as anyone in a disaster zone can tell you, money is effectively worthless when basic infrastructure is gone.

I do not personally see any reason someone from #Palestine would be asking for money, unless it is to try and get some hoarded supplies or secure passage out of the area. Once again, that's not only difficult, but there are international organizations already smuggling supplies in and people out.

If you see these accounts, please do not give them money, as some are even believed to be fronts for terrorists like #Hamas or pro-genocide groups. Report and let a #moderator figure it out.
