A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I self hosted an instance at is.hardlywork.ing, my images are getting cropped and losing the top and bottom 25% of the the image, leaving me a zoomed in rectangle. I tried on web browser, phone app, etc. same issue uploading any 1920x1080 photo.

This must be something the admin of that instance has deliberatly added to their pict-rs config, as this isn't done by default but the feature exists.

Edit: so you yourself must have added this 😝

Hmm maybe the upstream defaults of pict-rs changed 🤔

I chased this for a bit, would need to be home to get the actual config file name, but there's a preprocessing key that I had to disable to make it stop cropping.

If the person asking about why I dont use that instance to post, its because I see no comments here even tho I see the post and have no idea if yall will see this yet lol

Just curious because I'm thinking about self-hosting, if you self-host an instance why are you not posting from your account there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The larger communities like this are more likely to have more instances to show up on their all feed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

The reason for this is you must manually federate with any instances you want to see. According to this you need to paste in the links you want into the search on the site and then it will start to pull from those instances after that point.

Just made it yesterday, stuff is just starting to show up more consistently, I made it so I can upload images without issue or so I thought lol. I just used the first one I was logged in on my phone, ill prob keep using this one til im done subbing to more placss, and even then swap between them in case I miss stuff

It's doing a 16:9 crop (exactly the same edit when checking with photo editor), is there any way to avoid this?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 hours ago

Is there any website that automatically adds a background/padding to an image when changing the aspect ratio so It doesn't crop out any content? A bit of a hassle to do for a lemmy post every time.
