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.

A friend of mine's nine year old granddaughter collapsed while playing soccer this morning with something going on with her heart.

I haven't gotten any update's since the first call for prayer, so I don't know anything beyond what I stated including whether this child was vaxxed or not.

Please pray for all involved.

I will update if I learn more.

Broken SSD - Disaster or not


This week, it finally happened. I think it’s the first time in 20 years that a hard drive has died on me without warning. And it was also the first time I was using an NVMe drive, but that could be a coincidence.

The drive was still under warranty (barely a year and a half old). I even had a spare lying around. But the true cost of restoration is, of course, my own labor. My planning had not been perfect (for such a remote event, as I had judged). However, it was easy enough. I simply installed NixOS from a USB loader and downloaded my configuration from my backup on my NAS (daily rsync jobs to the rescue). I also downloaded all the important files for my home directory. Then, it was simply a matter of adjusting a few things in the configuration file, rebuilding the system, and voilà. Well, except for a few things that didn’t work quite right for some reason and had to be manually fixed, but nothing major.

However, next time I want this to be even easier. It’s probably overkill to install a RAID controller and have multiple drives running in RAID1 or RAID5, but the restoration process is still too much manual work. I was thinking of regularly backing up my main drive on the block device level, so I would just have to swap out the drive and restore the delta from the backup. I’m not quite sure if that’s feasible or a good idea. For my personal system, I have to balance the investment of preparing for a disaster with the likelihood and impact of such an event. This seems like a good trade-off, but I would be curious to hear how other people prepare for drive failure.

in reply to julian_hoch

The BIOS does not know about the RAID, the is why the EFI partition has to be a regular partition, but there is nothing forbidding more than one EFI partition so simply duplicating that across both drives ensures the same redundancy the RAID offers, but GRUB DOES know about RAID 1, so if you setup a raid1 array as the boot partition and then just write the boot block to both drives along with the EFI partition you can RAID everything except the EFI boot partition. Sorry your motherboard reduces your speed if you have more than one nvme, sounds very odd. Mine does share bandwidth if the SSD's are SATA but NOT if they are nvme.

Australia’s Labor Party to Still Ruling With A Resounding Election Victory telesurenglish.net/australias-…

Reading the Bible (actually reading the book, not just verses or passages) has a pretty high success rate in transforming Christians into atheists.

It seems that it's pretty hard to stay Christian once you've actually read the book.

Maybe that's why pastors and preachers only refer to at most a few passages here and there that are all taken out of context.

Most atheists were raised Christian, and I have yet to meet a Christian that didn't become atheist after they actually read the Bible. All 67 books. Old & New Testament. #religion #Christianity #atheism

Romania’s sham election: Călin Georgescu ban exposes EU hypocrisy


#politics #democracy #EU

If the EU wants to speak credibly about democracy, it must first confront the anti-democratic rot within its own ranks – starting with Romania’s grotesque exclusion of Georgescu from the upcoming election.

Thanks to @jake4480 I'm listening to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Actually, thanks, Jake! I'd forgotten how good these guys were. An almost random hotpick from this evenings listening is this one. But I think this sound had a long lasting effect on me. I do love how they have these guitars that just jingly jangly and then crash straight through. This is one of their classics but I'm trying to remember another one. Might post later if I find it.
