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 soft 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.
Misskey.Eskimo.Com
Misskey is, like Mastodon, a microbloging service. However, it’s Japanese design and gives it a much more gamey aesthetic. The software is also extremely efficient allowing for a very fast message rate. If you’ve got a fast mind and can read and comprehend fast, you will appreciate this service.
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.
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.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: eskimo.com/
Friendica.Eskimo.Com was getting to be a bit slow. Did some analysis of redis and mariadb configuration and found some places to improve performance and it seemed to have a pretty significant impact upon responsiveness.
Still trying to get images to display automagically in misskey, if anyone knows the magic juju please let me know.
I might add, how much and how fast I can get things done are largely a factor of funding. If you subscribe to some of our paid services such as web hosting, virtual private servers, e-mail, shell accounts, then we can do more things with the free services.
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 five different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, Enterprise and Super-Max. Shell types very principally in amount of disk quota provided. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types. 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.
In an attempt to further the freedom of speech, I have added a new Misskey social media site to Eskimo North. It can be reached through our Web-Apps menu on the main website eskimo.com/ or directly at misskey.eskimo.com/.
It is a minimal setup at present so not super pretty but I’ll fill it out as time permits.
This joins our other social media sites, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, mastodon.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/ and our federated search engine yacy.eskimo.com/.
Yeah, I guess you're right. I, a way it's the same question as "Why are there so many Linux distributions."
Diaspora is down to 39 pods now, worldwide. It's kinda sad, because d* was among the first federated platforms and so easy to use (for end-users anyway).
I am trying to build a misskey instance using manual installation.
I am to the point of building the software. When I type:
pmpn run init, I get:

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
A mouse got into my house.
One of my cats killed it.
Just a heads up on how things are going with Ice and general redundancy measures. I’ve got cron jobs in place to distribute SSL certs across all of the physical machines so any one physical machine being alive will be adequate to get access to SSL certs.
I’ve got a 5th name server running as a virtual machine on my machine at home so even if the co-lo is down entirely incoming e-mail will not be lost.
I’ve got a cron job copying /home and mail spool to another machine so either machine being down, I will still have a way of making these things accessible.
I’m still working on ice. It turned out both Asus memory boards I have had dead memory channels, one because pins are missing from the CPU socket but the other is a mystery. I can not see any missing or bent pins, yet, the BIOS sees all the DIMMS even though the CPU does not so this still points to a socket problem, perhaps a bad solder connection or open trace.
So I ordered another board, but did not pay adequate attention to the description, it was a parts board so not usable. The seller agreed to take it back if I paid shipping even though he had said no returns up front. Thank God some decent people still exist.
Then I ordered another board, this one supposedly working, well it arrived and had a minor problem. Someone broke a screw off for the nvme drive in one of the mounts. I was unable to get it out of the mount so ordered a kit for $6 off of amazon that contains mounts and mounting screws and I will just replace it. A pain as I have to take the board out again as I can not get to it from the back.

Shell is a command line interface to an operating system. Most shell providers offer a simple text only interface via ssh, telnet, or rlogin. With some of these providers it may be possible to execute X commands and redirect them to your display. While this allows you to use graphical commands, it is a tedious process.
While Eskimo North does provide traditional shell access, we go much further offering full remote desktop access with sound. This is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers and it is available from anywhere in the world. With a reasonably decent broadband connection, full motion video and high quality audio is possible.
Four popular remote desktop protocols are supported. All of these are tunnelled through ssh to provide encryption to protect your sensitive data and to prevent snooping on your activities or intercepting your login authentication credentials.
Guacamole Web Based Access
On our website under Web Apps, Desktop or Terminal Access, or by going directly to eskimo.com/guacamole/, login with “public” for the login and password. Then choose the server and whether you want a terminal or desktop and then login with your login and password. This allows you to access a terminal session or full remote desktop session from any HTML5 compliant web browser.
X2Go
X2Go is by far the preferable protocol to use. There are two clients that work with X2Go, the X2Go client, and PyHoca, a python client. The X2Go client is easy to configure with a simple graphical configuration interface. It tunnels all data through an SSH connection by default so there is little chance of accidentally establishing an unencrypted session and exposing critical data. It is the only remote desktop that supports sound well. It does an excellent job of eliminating X round-trip delays and it also compresses data very efficiently. It is the only remote desktop protocol that is sufficiently robust and efficient to make full motion video and audio work reasonably well over a cable modem connection. X2Go is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS/X based computers. For linux computers, it is usually included with your distribution. Try yum install x2go-client or apt-get install x2go-client.
VNC
VNC is an old X-forwarding protocol. The VNC servers we have here are configured to tunnel through ssh in order to provide a secure encrypted session. Consequently, you will either need a client that provides ssh tunnelling such as Chicken VNC (not to be confused with Chicken of the VNC which does not provide this functionality) or you will need to setup an ssh tunnel manually. VNC does not do such a good job of eliminating X round-trip delays nor does it compress as effeciently as X2Go or NX. However, VNC is available for more platforms and if you have an older computer this may be the best option.
RDP
RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol is the protocol used by Windows for remote desktop access. If you have a Windows machine, you most likely already have RDP built in so it is a quick way to get a remote desktop up and running. The performance of RDP is really not adequate for full motion video and it also lacks audio and remote printing.

This guy makes such a valid point about Trump and all the scary things social media says he will do. He has been President before once, remember? Why do you think he will do all these ridiculous things when he didn't do them before and gave no hint he will do them this time?
Every once in a while I'll run across a song that really touches me even if it is purely fiction, I know these real human conditions exist and it saddens me.
In order to avoid past mistakes it is important to understand history. This bit on Aristotle shines an important light on why a Constitutional Republic is superior to a Democracy.
The elites thinking they have the right to make decisions for the rest of us is an idea that needs to die. Good riddance!

The Justice Department filed criminal charges Friday on in a thwarted plot linked to Iran to kill then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump before Tuesday's presidential election, which Trump won.According to the complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, an unnamed official in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard ordered his contact, Farjad Shakeri, in September to hatch plan to kill Trump.
The complaint said if Shakeri wasn't able to create such a plan, the operation would be paused until after the presidential election. According to the complaint, the unnamed official thought Trump would lose and it would be easier to carry out a plot to kill him.
Shakeri told the FBI the official asked for a proposal in seven days, which was a timeframe he was not able to meet.

At the request of one of our customers, “anki” has been installed on all of our shell servers. The version installed is the qt6 version from the ankiweb website with the exception of Mint.
On the Mint server, the distribution version is installed because system security would not permit some of the actions required by the install script.
For servers available see: eskimo.com/services/shells/ser…
Presently quacamole and vnc access is broken on manjaro and rocky8.
SSH, rdp, and x2go works on all of the servers.

I was Ok with dykes and fairies until they started grooming children, and then
sterilizing them. This is beyond okay and needs to end.
It just occurred to me that we just had a presidential election where the president and vice president had numerous long form discussions on podcasts including significant policy discussion.
For someone like me, we're actually in a golden age. I want long form discussion and debate where ideas actually get a chance to stretch their legs, and that just won the presidency in a sweep!
It's crazy, like an anti-intellectual high intellectual golden age. One thing as bright as the sun in an otherwise dark era.
