"To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.

To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.

To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.

To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to.

To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

- Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents, 1998

Did you know? If you type "-ai" at the end of your Google searches, the AI summaries/overviews are not generated. Another option is to add a “fucking” word to your Google search to turn off AI summaries.

@Ruud just a quick couple of questions - I know you have other issues that are top of mind right now (and rightly so), but any chance this could be addressed to pull in the YouTube preview when a link is added and the "YouTube description in German removed?" Most distracting and unsightly. The display of just the clickable link is also distracting. I guess it's most concerning with the lack of consistency on this. Thanks for your attention to my comment!

It’s been a long time coming - to the point of visiting FB just a few times a year just to remind myself why I hate it so much. Now I’m looking forward to getting comfortable here on Friendica (once I figure out how to find like minds to follow)! I thought I’d add a little travelling music to get me started. (An oldie but a goodie). “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now.”

A 504 is typically because httpd has to much latency connecting to php-fpm, though it can be that php-fpm is having and issue connecting to dbServer. If you have your entire server stack on one machine (or container) you can configure the servers to use sockets instead of TCP/IP This can help when you have congested network traffic. Keep in mind that this still applies if you are only connecting your server stack via local host as it is still effected by they TCP/IP stack.

note: 504 are typically never from client connecting to httpd or you would never see the message, you would just time out.

note: If you need any of this translated to English please feel free to ask questions . I do not think google is up to it.

note: Sockets can also be better for security as this is one less vector of attack on your server from remote.

I have the BlueSky gateway active for some days now.

In general it seems to work. I can follow BlueSky users here. When I like a BlueSky post it shows up at the BlueSky end also.

The option to comment is not active. Reshare en quote share is active. Resharing here at Friendica of that BlueSky post results of a reshare of the contected account at BlueSky. Do not see it here at Friendica itself. Maybe it takes time.

The option to change the handle at blueSky with the Friendica one still does not work.
(setting at; settings - sociale networks - bluesky import/export, last checkbox option )
