Hey everyone! I wanted to do a post here talking about an event going on in the fediverse called Lemmyvision. This is a competition where various communities each choose a song and then those are voted on by users to rank which ones people enjoy the most.
Its being ran as a fun way to see various kinds of music from around the world, sharing more between our online communities across Lemmy, and as a way to songs from lesser known artists. We are participating with game soundtracks as an opportunity to showcase new advancements in the game development space, especially for indie games that might otherwise not get much exposure.
There was a national final to determine the song our instance would submit in the [programming.dev event community](https://programming.dev/c/events). After voting the song [Your Inception](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjeTwn9uA3Y) from the game Casette Beasts was chosen.
## Submitted Songs and Voting
Ive compiled all of the songs into playlists on three different platforms for watching
- [Youtube Link](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJypTpbGxbErGJzqHlCdbb3rMFTcuFfOq)
- [Spotify Link](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1KRY3wAdYX8wejIaYnO30p)
- [Invidious Link](https://invidious.fdn.fr/playlist?list=PLJypTpbGxbErGJzqHlCdbb3rMFTcuFfOq)
Feel free to listen to them and vote using the voting link https://tally.so/r/nWNgKQ. When selecting what instance you are representing theres an option to select programming.dev for people voting from the instance.
Voting is done by ranking the songs from your favorite to your least favorite. Users from our instance can't rank the song we submitted to keep things fair.
If you want to chat with other people about the competition theres a community for it [here](https://programming.dev/c/lemmyvision@jlai.lu)
## Future Events
This post will be going into the meta community for people who might not know the event community exists (and i'll likely be doing another post when the event [Canvas](https://programming.dev/c/canvas@toast.ooo) is happening).
Any other future posts will be posted in the programming.dev event community. All major event posts will be made on our blog with the category set to the event name and the tag "Event".

Hey everyone! Theres an event upcoming for the fediverse in 1 week (you can see the countdown from this site: https://canvas.fediverse.events/). This is an event similar to place and ran by the toast.ooo instance
Everyone has access to a shared pixel art canvas and can place a new pixel every so often! Pixels placed onto the map color that pixel the color you choose which every person then sees. People often coordinate with things like templates to get art of different things onto the map.
![an example of a canvas layout](/example-canvas.png)
An example of canvas
Last year we participated and managed to get a pretty big zone for programming.dev. This year however will have much more participants than last year so need more support and help constructing our area. I'll be attempting to establish a technology zone on the canvas so if theres any instances or communities that have to do something with technology and want to do something feel free to reach out and we can help each other.
![last years canvas](/last-year-canvas.webp)
Programming.Dev's area in last years canvas
If you're interested in joining the event theres three locations we will be talking. Theres event channels on the [discord](https://discord.gg/SnUk3bKkNC) and [matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org) (that are bridged to each other). We also have an event community at https://programming.dev/c/events which most canvas posts will go in from now on. Hope to see you all there!
If you want to organize a section of the canvas for your community (e.g. c/godot) you can request a channel for your community on the [discord](https://discord.gg/SnUk3bKkNC) and [matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org) which will help you organize better. Feel free to reach out to me (Ategon).
If you want to help out the instance itself make sure to join the locations and things will be announced for updates. If you want to help organize things (organizing the instance for the event) feel free to reach out so I can get people to lead the pixel placing for things like when I'm sleeping.
![programming.dev canvas design](/this-canvas.png)
The current design for this year
Should start making some more blog posts on stacks as I come back to be active in the instance again. Took a large-ish break to focus on some game dev and now back to power through things.

I made some updates to the post system in stacks.programming.dev to make it a bit
more organized. Categories will now be only the main sites and posts will be filtered
into what categories they fit best in. Previously each subdomain has its own category.
The main change for this would be that things like alternate frontends will be
under the Programming.Dev category instead of their own (but they still have a
tag for people who want to filter by only that subdomain)
Ive also cleaned up the posts to organize them better in the source code by appending
the date they were made in front of each ones file name and ive added some more
tags (such as an Alternate Frontend tag)

title: "New alternate frontend: Tesseract. Photon now semi-supported"

date: 2024-07-10
author: "Ategon"
categories:
- Programming.Dev
tags:
- Tesseract
- Photon
- Release
- Alternate Frontend
---
We now have a new alternate frontend for our instance, Tesseract!
Tesseract is a fork of Photon with some differences displayed on the [project's GitHub page](https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract).
The overall main features being:
- Full Media Support in Feed and Posts
- Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
- Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) Integration
- Fediseer Integration
- Distinguished and Sticky Comments
- Keyword Filtering
- Multiple Account Support
- Improved Moderation Tools
You can find the Tesseract frontend at https://t.programming.dev
Along with this, Photon is currently only semi-supported as opposed to being one of our main Alternate Frontends. Due to a recent swap in Photon's tooling we are unable to update to later versions of Photon. As such, for now the alternate frontend will exist frozen and will continue to exist in the future until either: a new lemmy version breaks that version of the frontend or the issues are fixed and upgrading becomes possible again.

TL;DR:
Looking to migrate cloud service providers cause Vultr's looking to harvest everyone's data >:P
## Vultr (Current Cloud Provider)
For clarification their [Terms Of Service](https://www.vultr.com/legal/tos/) last modified date states: "January 8, 2024";
- it's assumed that the date has yet to be updated.
<br/>
Vultr's new TOS (starting at [Section 12](https://www.vultr.com/legal/tos/#tos_12)) contains quite an amount of egregious overreaching clauses:
```
You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (including the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, transmit and distribute each of your User Content, or any portion thereof, in any form, medium or distribution method now known or hereafter existing, known or developed, and otherwise use and commercialize the User Content in any way that Vultr deems appropriate, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or to any third parties, for purposes of providing the Services to you.
```
- which is pretty ridiculous.
Based on the current state of the world, we're gonna assume this is for AI.
Either way even if it's not, we're jumping ship.
## Cloud Migration Plans
Based on internal discussion we're currently looking into migrating to either Hetzner or Scaleway.
- we'll provide confirmation on which one we've chosen and when we'll migrate once we've figured out the pros and cons of either.
## Please Support Us
Please consider [donating here](https://github.com/sponsors/snowe2010/) as programming.dev is run by volunteers and your support is crucial to keeping our site sustainably ad-free!
Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help us cover essential costs such as server hosting and (currently) cloud migration🤗

Introducing blocks.programming.dev! This is a site to add small code snippets you make for sharing easily in threads in programming.dev if you need to do something like put the same code in multiple spots.
The site is running using software called opengist and is essentially an equivalent to gists in github. Repo for it is here https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist.
Snippets are accessible both in the web interface and using git if you prefer adding in code from your text editor and then pushing it.
You can find the site here: https://blocks.programming.dev.

slug: "git"
date: 2024-02-26
author: "Ategon"
categories:
- Forge
tags:
- Release
- Infrastructure

Introducing a new supporting site for the instance, git.programming.dev aka Forge! This is a spot where development on things relating to the instance will be taking place. This includes for each thing having source code, task boards, and issue trackers viewable.
This gives us a spot away from GitHub so we don't have to rely on them for hosting our code. In addition, Forgejo, the software used, is working on federation so eventually features could be implemented to do things such as interact with Forge directly from our instances.
## Who is allowed to make an account?
Anyone is free to make an account on the site provided you have not broken our code of conduct and have gotten banned from one of the instances.
## What is allowed to be hosted?
Any code that relates to things we do on the fediverse or outside the fediverse but relating to programming.dev is allowed to be hosted on Forge. This includes things such as bots made for lemmy/sublinks, alternate frontends, software we host, tools, etc.
As an example alternate frontends like photon, alexandrite, etc. are free to choose to be hosted on Forge. Software such as Sublinks, etc. can be hosted, and various misc bots and tools such as Fediseer, Automod, etc. can be hosted.
Anything hosted on forge must be able to support the programming.dev instance it is built around. This means that things like bots and alternate frontends for the programming.dev instance must be able to support sublinks.
## How can I make an organization on Forge?
If you want an organization on Forge to group a collection of repos together feel free to reach out to one of the team leads or email info@programming.dev.
## How can I contribute to a programming.dev repo?
If you want to contribute code feel free to fork the relevant repo and then make a pull request back to it with the changes. If you have an idea for something that can be added to a platform or a bug report open up an issue on the relevant repo in the Programming.Dev org.
If you're interested in contributing a large amount to the programming.dev repos feel free to reach out to me (Ategon) on discord or matrix or email info@programming.dev and I can add you to the development team.

We have a brand new supporting site for the instances! Me.Programming.Dev is a place where you can see relevant links for things we host. Listed are software we are hosting, status pages, alternate frontends, and more.
You can find the site [here](https://me.programming.dev)
## Custom pages
The site is a self-hosted linkstack instance so as a little thank you towards donators, donators are able to get a custom page to put socials on. You can see an example of that over on my page at https://me.programming.dev/@Ategon. If you want a page and you've donated just reach out to me (Ategon).
## Adding links
As new instances and sites get made new links will be popping up over on the site. I recommend checking it out for new things every once in awhile just in case you miss an announcement on something new were releasing
## Whats this instance I don't recognize?
You may notice theres something we haven't announced yet on there. Left it in as a little early access for those reading our update posts before it releases later this week. Feel free to make an account and check it out before the floodgates open :)

Hello P.D users.
I'm sure the recent news of lemmy.world's removal of piracy communities has not escaped the attention of many of you. For those who have not heard, [here is their announcement on the matter](https://programming.dev/post/11685728).
Now, being as transparent as possible, this is not a subject that the admin team of P.D have discussed in great detail up until this point. We have yet to create an explicit rule stating that piracy related content is forbidden on this instance, and doing so is not something any of us wish to do.
With that being said, this topic requires more deliberation and consideration. There is more complexity to this issue than taking a stance for, against, or tolerant of piracy. There are legal considerations. And the truth is that we are not 100% sure on what the legal implications are for allowing piracy related content to exist on this instance, either directly on our communities or indirectly via federation.
One thing that must be considered when looking into the legalities is jurisdiction. I believe being part of a larger federation complicates this more than a centralised service, but P.D must at a minimum be considerate of the laws of the country its server(s) is hosted in, and the laws of the country the person responsible for the instance resides in.
For those who don't know, this instance is administrated by a reasonably large team of volunteers, but is hosted and ultimately provided by only one: snowe. There is no legal entity behind P.D other than his person, and this means that any ramifications of this subject ultimately fall on his shoulders.
After an initial discussion between us, it is clear that some professional legal advice is required. Snowe is intending to seek formal legal advice. Up until that point, we cannot say what the official P.D stance will be on this topic long term.
What I can say, is that nobody in this administrative team desires to impose any restrictions on users of this instance that overreach and limit discussion unnecessarily. So long as content here is not dangerous, hurtful or offensive, we have no wish to filter it out on an instance level. Communities can impose their own rules, for the most part.
You can expect a further update on this topic in the future, once we have a better understanding ourselves, and we will keep this topic as transparent as we possibly can. Until then, in relation to this matter, we do not currently intend to defederate from any instances or ban any communities that discuss piracy. Linking to websites that provide pirated content will also not be explicitly banned, but linking to or directly hosting pirated content on P.D is prohibited. Should any of these rules change, we will communicate it as quickly as possible and far ahead of any drastic action that would need to take place as a result.
I believe the majority of our users here will understand the pressure that any Lemmy instance faces by hosting content that can make them susceptible to legal action. To those of you who are understanding, we thank you for that, and are grateful for your patience with us while we get a better understanding ourselves.
Feel free to discuss this matter here.
Thanks,
The P.D. Admin Team.

title: 'Piracy-Related Content on PD'

Hello P.D users.
I'm sure the recent news of lemmy.world's removal of piracy communities has not escaped the attention of many of you. For those who have not heard, [here is their announcement on the matter](https://programming.dev/post/11685728).
Now, being as transparent as possible, this is not a subject that the admin team of P.D have discussed in great detail up until this point. We have yet to create an explicit rule stating that piracy related content is forbidden on this instance, and doing so is not something any of us wish to do.
With that being said, this topic requires more deliberation and consideration. There is more complexity to this issue than taking a stance for, against, or tolerant of piracy. There are legal considerations. And the truth is that we are not 100% sure on what the legal implications are for allowing piracy related content to exist on this instance, either directly on our communities or indirectly via federation.
One thing that must be considered when looking into the legalities is jurisdiction. I believe being part of a larger federation complicates this more than a centralised service, but P.D must at a minimum be considerate of the laws of the country its server(s) is hosted in, and the laws of the country the person responsible for the instance resides in.
For those who don't know, this instance is administrated by a reasonably large team of volunteers, but is hosted and ultimately provided by only one: snowe. There is no legal entity behind P.D other than his person, and this means that any ramifications of this subject ultimately fall on his shoulders.
After an initial discussion between us, it is clear that some professional legal advice is required. Snowe is intending to seek formal legal advice. Up until that point, we cannot say what the official P.D stance will be on this topic long term.
What I can say, is that nobody in this administrative team desires to impose any restrictions on users of this instance that overreach and limit discussion unnecessarily. So long as content here is not dangerous, hurtful or offensive, we have no wish to filter it out on an instance level. Communities can impose their own rules, for the most part.
You can expect a further update on this topic in the future, once we have a better understanding ourselves, and we will keep this topic as transparent as we possibly can. Until then, in relation to this matter, we do not currently intend to defederate from any instances or ban any communities that discuss piracy. Linking to websites that provide pirated content will also not be explicitly banned, but linking to or directly hosting pirated content on P.D is prohibited. Should any of these rules change, we will communicate it as quickly as possible and far ahead of any drastic action that would need to take place as a result.
I believe the majority of our users here will understand the pressure that any Lemmy instance faces by hosting content that can make them susceptible to legal action. To those of you who are understanding, we thank you for that, and are grateful for your patience with us while we get a better understanding ourselves.
Feel free to discuss this matter here.
Thanks,

Its been a couple days which means I have the results of the threads federation poll we ran on the instance. The percentage difference between all of the options stayed relatively the same through the entire thing.

In the past we said we were going to run a federation poll regarding Threads (activitypub compatible instance created by meta) and now that theyre ramping up federation and we have a new instance coming that would interact with that I decided its time to do so

Introducing the Programming.Dev community wiki. This is a place where communities can set up wiki pages for their communities to allow people to easily get info relating to it.
You can find the site [here](https://wiki.programming.dev)
## How does navigation work?
The home page has a list of communities with pages. If you click on a community it will bring you to their list of documents that you can look through.
Some possible use cases for a community wiki are: a code of conduct page, a frequently asked questions page, information about the community, credits if you need to credit things such as your community icon, a page for related communities, etc.
![](/wiki.png)
Ive set up a couple example pages to start. The gamedev section of the site has 6 different pages that you can look through to set some ideas
## How do I edit a page?
Editing is handled through git. Each page will have an edit this page button that will bring you to a page where you can fork the repository, make changes, and then make a pull request to get it accepted into the site.
The pages all reside in the content/docs folder while the sidebars are in content/menus. You can see how I set up some of the current pages for how to format things.
Pages are written in markdown.
## Are other languages supported?
Yes! Currently theres only english set up as we don't really have communities in other languages but it would be easy to add more language options in the site config.
