Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.

Security
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

Trump ordered the immediate evacuation of Tehran, a clear threat to around 10 million residents.

Although the US has provided Israel with weapons and military aid, it did not declare its direct participation in the war. However, this evacuation threat, a crime against humanity, showcases the close collaboration between the US and Israel.

Does anyone know any good video card that you can buy rn for cheap or below the market value?

Also does anyone know good iem pairs to replace the kbear rosefinch? I had a pair but one side broke and now im finding another pair or just get a new pair to replace the broken ones, i tried a new pair called the QKZ x HBB, i dont like how some audio sounds really weak and overpowers the other and surround audio sounds like shit with these

1. #Iran did nothing to justify #Israel's unprovoked #WarCrimes against it.

2. Iran spends only 8 billion dollars on its #military, while the #US and Israel spend a combined 1 trillion on theirs. Israel has killed ten times as many Iranians as there have been Israeli #deaths, and Israel is using those Israeli deaths to whip up #islamophobic, #militaristic fervor.

in reply to AstroMancer5G (she/her)

5. Israel intentionally attacked Iran also to reactivate its people's lifetime #indoctrination into a #VictimhoodComplex and anti-Muslim, anti-Iranian, and anti-gentile #hate. The resulting surge of #patriotism and #militarism will bolster both the #SettlerColony itself and its current #regime. #Solidarity from the #West will be used to feed this. #Reject narratives of solidarity with Israeli #victimhood early and consistently. Iran and Gaza are the real #victims, and Israel is the #aggressor.
in reply to AstroMancer5G (she/her)

6. This is not the time to #criticize the #government of Iran. Those criticisms will be weaponized by #Zionism to justify its attacks as somehow #feminist and supportive of #dissidents in Iran or the #diaspora. The opposition is against Western/Israeli intervention, too. Western-backed regime change has never led to #peace and democracy, instead it leads to fascist, reactionary, authoritarian regimes. The capitalists invested in the #WarMachine are making tons of money, until we end #capitalism.

Is he insane? #Tehran is home to 10 million people? How are 10 million people going to get out all at once & where will they go? This is his usual tactic of sowing panic, fear & chaos.

He's trying to look like the good guy with this warning while at the same time he aids & abets Netanyahu's homicidal agenda.

Put the blame where it belongs Donnie! On your own head. If you hadn't cavalierly turn up the #JCPOA while #Iran was actually in compliance, we wouldn't be here.

Just Saying!😎🤔JUST IN: The U.S. Supreme Court has UNANIMOUSLY ruled in favor of nuns fighting New York’s abortion mandate, confirms that states cannot legally force religious organizations to pay for abortions.

this could spiral out of control real quick friends. iran has a large arsenal of missiles that can't be easily shot down, unlike the unguided low tech rockets they're used to from palestine and lebanon. they don't appear to have the best guidance systems but what they lack in precision they make up for in numbers

not looking forward to having the whole maga populist agenda derailed and all our blood and treasure poured into another middle east endless war

I don’t know how many times I’ve discussed this topic before, but due to recent events, I'm bringing it up again: One of our customers experienced an Azure compromise - attackers gained unauthorized access to an account. The customer is a "cloud-only" organization that uses SharePoint and OneDrive for all document storage.

When we spoke with the customer's IT support technician, the first thing he said was:
"UAL (the Unified Audit Log) isn’t enabled. Why on earth can’t Microsoft just activate this proactively for all customers?"

He really struck a nerve with that statement. My team and I have preached time and again that everything else should be dropped immediately to run the following command:

Get-AdminAuditLogConfig

If the output says "AdminAuditLogEnabled : False", then it's overdue to enable UAL!

The Unified Audit Log tracks, among many other things, access to SharePoint and OneDrive. No UAL, no evidence.

@Arthur_500 I think it’s because he wasn’t sure that being smart meant that he was any better than the people around him, but that it did lead to some difficulties.

People who are busy telling everyone else they know how smart they are, all day “Aut Universitay” have a different set of life experiences.

Aral Balkan reshared this.

The Canadian government's border bill, Bill C-2, includes provisions that would allow police and CSIS to request information from service providers, such as doctors, abortion clinics, hotels, without a warrant.

The bill would give authorities the power to ask for information without a warrant if there are reasonable grounds to suspect a crime or a potential breach of law. Providers would be gagged from disclosing that a demand had been made.

State officials can only bring state charges; federal officials can only bring federal charges; and neither can prevent the other from charging within their own legal system. If there’s a federal charge or a federal pardon, the state still gets to charge, prosecute, and punish after conviction.

President Donald Trump does not plan to sign a joint statement of G7 members calling for de-escalation between Iran and Israel as those nations clash over Iran's nuclear program.

Provocation sous faux drapeau : plan ukraino-britannique, torpilles russes et navire américain
Le Service russe de renseignement extérieur a annoncé la préparation d'une provocation conjointe ukraino-britannique en mer Baltique. Selon le SVR :
« L'un des scénarios envisageables consiste à organiser une attaque à la torpille russe contre un navire de la marine américaine. »
❗️Il est souligné que des torpilles de fabrication soviétique/russe ont déjà été transférées par l'Ukraine aux Britanniques.
Selon le plan :
« Certaines d'entre elles exploseront à une distance de sécurité du navire américain, tandis qu'une autre ne fonctionnera pas et sera présentée au public comme une preuve de l'activité malveillante de la Russie. »
▪️Ce scénario vise à susciter un écho international et à aggraver la situation dans la région.

#PJAK: «During this critical and decisive phase, we view the cooperation of Kurdish parties and the transition from party-based rule to popular self-governance in #Kurdistan as a historic duty. We call on all forces, parties, and civil society organizations—with Iranian women at the forefront—to launch a new phase of the #JinJiyanAzadi revolution. We declare our readiness to help initiate it. We believe that transitioning to a Democratic Republic of Iran requires shifting perspectives and departing from power-seeking, nationalism, patriarchy, and centralism. [...] We call on all the people of Iran, especially those in Kurdistan, to organize within democratic, popular structures. Through complete solidarity, they can minimize the destructive impact of war on each other».

So I just thought I’d put some kibble out for the hedgehog before I forgot - they were around at about 8:30pm yesterday. I’ve made a hedgehog feeding station out of a crate to stop the cat eating everything. I walk past the lawn and look who’s trundling about. They had a rummage about in the ivy then back onto the lawn in front of me. This is taken without zoom. Hope they’re ok, but they seem pretty active. Last seen headed towards the area where the food is, after which I heard crunching.

>> The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that all the international human rights defenders and journalists that were aboard the civilian aid ship #Madleen are now en route home. The twelve were forcibly abducted and detained by Israeli forces while attempting to break Israel’s illegal and inhumane siege of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to its besieged population.

>> The last three detained #FreedomFlotilla volunteers, Marco van Rennes, Pascal Maurieras, and Yanis Mhamdi, were released from Israeli detention this morning and have begun their return to their home countries via the Jordanian border…

Mes amis, ça chante fort chez certains rabbins en ce moment à propos de l’Iran. Je ne sais pas ce qu’ils boivent, mais ça doit être sacrément fort !
Ils sont en extase à l’idée que l’Amérique va intervenir, que l’Iran sera détruit, et que selon leur prophétie le Machiah apparaîtra une fois l’Iran tombé des mains de Edom (l'occident).

Toute cette guerre contre l’Iran n’a rien à voir avec le nucléaire ou une prétendue menace militaire.
C’est entièrement motivé par un délire messianique : ils attendent un effondrement de l’Iran pour « accélérer » la venue de leur Messie.

Quant au Premier ministre, ce Polonais devenu fanatique, il semble totalement obsédé par ces récits religieux au point d’en faire une boussole stratégique. C’est inquiétant.
