PieFed Email Error
Hello!
I wanted to move away from Reddit and started with a Lemmy instance for a few days. But, I kept on bumping into these mentions about PieFed and got curious. I figured since I just started, no harm in just spinning up PieFed. That, and once I saw Voyager was able to work with PieFed, it just seemed like a no brainer.
I'm so very impressed, I'm just exploring everything, checking out settings, and adding new communities.
That said I probably did something wrong in the process. I input the settings for email in .env.docker. As soon as I did, error emails arrived in batches of 5-8 at a time. I tried making sense of it myself, but I got stuck. Would anyone kindly take a look and point me in the right direction?

As soon as federation starts there is all kinds of weird JSON that arrives from different software, so errors start happening. Most of them are not serious.
Are you following PeerTube channels? Afaik PeerTube is the one most likely to trigger the JSON-LD-based signature validation.
Thank you everyone, for your replies and tips!!
I haven't followed PeerTube channels directly from PieFed - yet.
After just under 24 hours up, so far everything seems to be working just as wjs018 says.
Thanks Rimu for the Sentry tip.

My thoughts are "Why do they need one?". It's not like UEFI stops you doing anything.
UBIOS's unique features over UEFI include increased support for chiplets and other heterogeneous computing use-cases, such as multi-CPU motherboards with mismatching CPUs, something UEFI struggles with or does not support. It will also better support non-x86 CPU architectures such as ARM, RISC-V, and LoongArch, the first major Chinese operating system.
[citation needed]
I would say this is about increasing the level of control of the platform, not about technological issues.
Edit: For example, here's the RISC-V UEFI specification.
like this
america cannot really backdoor a specification. uefi is not software, but a specification, upon which firmwares can be built. that's another story that we happen to be calling the firmware on our computers "the uefi", but really there are quite a few different proprietary uefi implementations out there already.
so, if that ws the reason, they could have just created their own UEFI firmware, and not something different
Our hardware has its own problems.
We rely way too much on x86 and ia64 architecture, both of which have only two big manufacturers in the world. That's not good because it's almost monopolies.
It would be better to have simpler chipsets that can be produced by more manufacturers worldwide, and especially ones that can be produced by smaller regional manufacturers.
On top of that we shouldn't distribute compiled binaries for the x86 and ia64 chipsets; instead program code should be distributed like .wasm, in a hardware-independent way, and compiled on the target device. That would enable that hardware can use any chipset it wants and there are no software incompatibilities because of it.
How is performance though?
And honestly ARM isn't that much than x86 in terms of freedom and competition.

You're describing Gentoo Linux . . . which is not especially popular among Linux distributions even though it runs on just about anything. There may be a reason for that.
Well, they're talking about something lower level than the operating system. For one.
Secondly, every distro is inferior to the only perfect thing mankind has ever created: Hannah Montana Linux. If you're using anything else you may as well just break your computer and drink cyanide.
RISC-V
- royalty free
- future-proof
- extensible
- base ISA is 40 instructions!
- beautifully documented
- can perform in a range of situations, from embedded to many-cores servers!
- can handle petabytes of memory (the higher schemes)
- no nonsense historic compatibility drag.
hell yeah risc-v is hella cool 😀
i just looked into how it works:
seems very sane so far.
beautifully documented
i can attest, very nice indeed.

Satellite data shows methane emissions are declining in part of Canada’s oil patch, but more monitoring is needed
Authors:
- Chris Hugenholtz | Professor, Geography, University of Calgary
- Coleman Vollrath | PhD Candidate in Physical Geography, University of Calgary
- Thomas Barchyn | Researcher, Geography, University of Calgary
- Zhenyu Xing | Postdoctoral Associate, University of Calgary
Governments in Canada’s major oil and gas producing provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, have touted their efforts in recent years to reduce methane emissions.Methane is a greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere at oil and gas facilities through leaks, vents, maintenance activities and incomplete combustion. Methane traps significantly more heat than carbon dioxide, making it a potent climate pollutant.
We set out to independently verify if government claims of decreasing oil and gas methane emissions were accurate. Our new study shows that the answer is yes — but with important caveats and valuable lessons for Canada’s energy sector.
We studied satellite observations between 2019 and 2023 to understand how methane emissions rates in Canada’s main oil-producing region were changing. We focused on the heavy oil belt near Lloydminster, Alta., where a distinctive extraction method known as CHOPS (cold heavy oil production with sand) has long been associated with notable methane emissions.
CHOPS brings a mix of oil, water, sand and gas to the surface. The oil is collected, but the co-produced gas — which is mainly methane — has historically been vented or flared.

Satellites can be used to independently monitor emissions, helping to better understand emissions in regions where ground-based or other data are lacking.The Conversation

Voter turnout exceeds expectations in California's Prop. 50 special election
Early voter turnout is exceeding expectations in California’s Nov. 4 special election over redrawing the state’s congressional districts, a Democratic-led effort to counter Republican attempts to keep Congress under GOP control.
“We’re seeing some pretty extraordinary numbers of early votes that have already been cast, people sending back in their ballots,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a livestream with former President Obama on Wednesday.
More than 3.4 million mail ballots have been returned as of Wednesday, with votes from Democrats outpacing ballots from Republicans and Californians registered as not having a party preference, according to a ballot tracker run by Democratic strategist Paul Mitchell. Mitchell is deeply involved in the Democratic effort, and drafted the proposed congressional districts on the Nov. 4 special election ballot.

My Honest Review of 4KIV IPTV (After Testing It for a Few Months)
A few months ago, I started using 4Kiv.com , and so far, it’s been one of the more reliable ones I’ve tried in 2025.
Here’s what stood out for me:
* Good mix of US + international channels (including locals I couldn’t get on other providers)
* A large movie and TV series library that actually gets updated
* Sports & PPV events included, which is a big plus
* Works smoothly on Firestick, Smart TVs, Android, iOS, and PC
* No major buffering issues, even during live games or peak hours
👉 You can check it out here: www.4kiv.com
I’m curious if anyone else here has tried 4KIV or found other solid IPTV services that are actually stable in 2025?
Noi del Rione Sanità, anticipazioni seconda puntata di giovedì 30 ottobre 2025: la violenza riesplode, Massimo nella rete di Mariano
Prosegue su Rai 1 il racconto di Noi del Rione Sanità, la serie di Luca Miniero con Carmine Recano nei panni di Don Giuseppe Santoro. Dopo l’esordio all’insegna del coraggio civile, la seconda puntata alza la posta: il progetto teatrale prende forma tra entusiasmi e fratture, mentre nel quartiere torna a farsi sentire la violenza. Il carisma del boss Mariano diventa una minaccia concreta per i più giovani, a partire da Massimo, che scivola nel suo raggio d’influenza.

Is there any incompatibility between NodeBB and Mobilizon?
Good evening everyone.
Mobilizon is an interesting alternative to EventBrite developed by the French collective Framasoft.
I recently noticed that NodeBB can't see #Mobilizon events.
Of course, I didn't expect NodeBB to be able to see and manage events (mark them as accepted, rejected, or "unclear"), like Friendica, for example.
Mastodon, however, while it can't "manage" events, can view them and allows you to follow the users who publish them.
I've noticed that NodeBB can't see Friendica events either, nor those produced by the federated platform "Gancio."
Can anyone explain to me what could be causing this incompatibility? Is it a "protection" feature of NodeBB, or a problem with the format in which #ActivityPub events are published?
Have a good evening, and thanks in advance.
Re: Is there any incompatibility between NodeBB and Mobilizon?
Thanks for your reply, julian
For what it's worth, I agree with this approach.
Mobilizon events are certainly one of the most interesting implementations of the Fediverse and are extremely important for offering a user experience that can do without Facebook, just as the evolution of federated NodeBB represents a significant step forward in creating an alternative to Facebook groups (we're trying to do this in Italy with citiverse.it...).
However, some of Mobilizon's limitations (Mobilizon events are one-way: they're visible from the Fediverse and can even be managed with Friendica, but—for example—it's not yet possible to create a Mobilizon event from Friendica) and the critical issues in managing events for "generalist" platforms (I recall the problems, later resolved, that Friendica had with uncontrolled event sharing: all it took was for an account to follow an event account and all its followers would find it in their calendars... :confounded: ) make it appropriate to think very carefully and cautiously about the integration roadmap.
For the rest, thank you for your promptness and willingness to respond to users who ask for clarification!
Best regards,
Francesco
Re: Is there any incompatibility between NodeBB and Mobilizon?
Event activity. That would help, otherwise I would be reverse engineering their implementation, and that is not the easiest approach.

Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/37846820
Europe is moving decisively away from U.S. tech giants toward open-source alternatives, driven by concerns over digital sovereignty and reliability of American companies[^1]. At the 2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe, industry leaders emphasized that this shift isn't about isolation but resilience."What we're really looking for is resilience. What we want for our countries, for our companies, for ourselves, is resilience in the face of unforeseen events in a fast-changing world. Open source allows us to be sovereign without being isolated," said OpenInfra Foundation general manager Thierry Carrez[^1].
This transition is already happening. The German state Schleswig-Holstein has replaced Microsoft Exchange and Outlook with open-source email solutions. Similar moves have been made by the Austrian military, Danish government organizations, and the French city of Lyon[^1].
European companies are stepping up to fill the gap with open-source alternatives, including:
- Deutsche Telekom's Open Telekom Cloud
- OVHcloud's sovereign cloud services
- STACKIT and VanillaCore's European-based offerings[^1]The movement gained additional momentum when the European Commission appointed its first executive vice president for tech sovereignty, security, and democracy in 2024[^1].

Honestly I think the concerns are driven by ability for non-transparent funding in FOSS. EU corruption is really not what people in rosy glasses think it is.
Well, OK, that bit about resilience is also true.
This is really more similar to Russian "import replacement" than it seems. Just everything happening in Russia has that sewer flavor to its perception, and the same thing happening in the EU has that flavor of being cool and right, but in essence it's a vaccine against what's called "sanctions" when it's directed at the "bad guys", and doesn't have a name when it's directed at you, but still can happen.
I dunno why I wrote this, just there's that spirit of pessimism in everything happening in the big world now. Makes one want to forget about it, and get busy with working just a bit better, maintaining some comfort of habitat, making POV-Ray renders, sometimes writing stupid TCL scripts and trying to progress in the "women" area.

This lil piss guy gave me an idea.
We're gunna put AI and connectivity in Elf On A Shelf. The kids will be able to give their Christmas lists and confess their sins to the AI controlled Elf, which will have it's own Amazon wishlist.
The Elf will weigh the sins of the child, and deeming them worthy, will automatically order the appropriate gifts off the list, which will be delivered via drone down the chimney Christmas Eve, once the Elf determines the child has gone to sleep.

Monochrome
In this statement piece, the artist is exploring the significance of objects as they relate to everyday life in the bleak mundanity of current century.
Pffft. No I don't. I just made that up.
Instead, I walked around and took a series of pictures of stereotypical street subjects favored by the types of people who go around spouting that only black and white images are inherently true art, and whose beanies are probably a bit too tight.
An incredible amount of information is lost if you shackle yourself to monochrome. If you insist on doing so for artsy-fartsy purposes, I advise you to think hard about why first rather than just because it's the done thing to do, as if it automatically adds profundity to a fossilized slice of light.
Luckily I didn't take these in black and white at all. I simply smashed them into greyscale using my editing software. The full color renditions are:
- Locks
- Glass (This may just at the outside be a piece of genuine 19th century glass, but then again it probably isn't.)
- Type B Barricade Light (Now you know what those are actually called.)
- Detour
- Lost Kite
If zis were an American film I would have a gun, and perhaps do a little car chase. But it is French. Merde.
