B. Hamilton – “Release the Hounds”

Classic rock, or at least its spirit made sound once again, is alive and well, and songs like this are the proof.

Hello Again!

I'm the dev that created the "Bookface" schemes for the Friendica "Frio" theme. I know I've been taking a long time to answer some people's questions and feedback. That's because for weeks I've only occasionally been able to log into my main account on friendica.world. Today it seems that server has become completely inaccessible. 😭

As that server is down I couldn't just migrate my account, so I've set up a new account here at dillyofapickle.com. If you were friended to me over there you'll need to send me a request here. But I also moved here because @Kevin has embraced my projects for his server and is running newer versions than most other servers I could find. And I kind of need to see it in action for real, not just on my dev server.

I guess for the foreseeable future updates to my Friendica projects will be posted from this account.

@Pygoscelis Papua @Kevin Pygoscelis Papua, I would invite you to join mine, friendica.eskimo.com/. It has been up for four years now, started shortly after the Covid fiasco vaccine roll-out in November of 2020. I got kicked off of Facebook because I made it clear that the side effects of the Vax outweighed the benefits. I started it on an i7-6850k machine but it became clear that did not provide adequate resources, then upgraded to an i9-10900k, and through various hardware issues finally to an i9-10980xe, overclocked to 4.5Ghz all cores, nvme RAID for root and database, hd raid for storage, machine that it is on today. It was difficult finding hardware that could adequately address the power demands of an overclocked i9-10980xe but finally did so it is table today. I initially put it up with the Vier format as I did not so much care for Frio but did like your variation Bookface, however, attempting to implement it per the instructions on the site I was not successful at. I did not want to leave it called Frio even though it was clearly something else, I really wanted to give users a choice, and I tried to rename unsuccessfully. So I would very much both welcome your presence and any aid in implementing bookface. With the amount I have invested in this machine and the fact that I'm still here after 4-1/2 years I hope that it is clear I'm in it for the long haul and again would welcome your presence.

@Nanook for me installing bookface was just putting the directory in the correct place and setting the instance to use it. Also .. love Eskimo.com I had a shell with you years and years ago under the username edgewise! Glad you’re still at it after all of these years!

@Kevin @Pygoscelis Papua The way it was the name was still frio in the files so I was concerned it would conflict with the real frio. Thank you. We do still offer shells, these days with about a dozen different vendors, all of the SunOS stuff has been replaced with Linux, and all of the machines have full desktop graphical access with x2go and most with rdp and vnc. We had guacamole but the newer version hasn't played well still trying to work out bugs.

Alt Pygoscelis Papua

in reply to Nanook • 3 days ago • •

@Nanook There shouldn't be any conflict with "real frio" as Bookface is just scheme files for frio that go in the /view/theme/frio/scheme/ folder where frio should just pick them up and add them to the list of schemes under Settings > Display > Theme Customization.

Well my Bookface scheme doesn't have the frio theme with it. It wasn't even forked from the frio theme. So I can't begin to tell you how you ended up with two instances of frio. But I also don't do git pulls/clones or anything command line. I'm using both GitLab and GitHub through their web interfaces and download zips with my browser and manually move files onto my dev server (because I barely have any understanding of how git works in the first place - I'm more of a web and graphic designer than a programmer).

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua

Marcus

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua • 2 days ago • •

"I'm more of a web and graphic designer than a programmer)."

I hope you'll create issues when you think the code is a barrier to making a good theme in that case, and you're not sure how to change it. I don't know the code *that* well but I am more of a programmer than designer, and I really feel like UI and even more so UX is the main thing holding Friendica back. Not that new functionality or adjustments to them won't be needed, but still the main thing.

Have been making a few changes related mainly to UI/UX in the main code base recently, and I'm planning more. I have a list of maybe 50 things I'd like to change or something, and it's scratching the surface. Certainly some things are a lot more important than others so they should probably be prioritized by a combination of importance and how easy they are to change.

Nanook

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua • 3 days ago • •

@Pygoscelis Papua @Kevin Ok my mistake, the second frio entry was just the result of making a copy in frio.backup. Now I've tried both placing the files in /view/theme/frio/scheme/ directory as well as putting them in /view/theme/frio/scheme/bookface/ directory. Either way it is not showing up under theme selection.

@Kevin @Alt Pygoscelis Papua

in reply to Nanook

Alt Pygoscelis Papua

in reply to Nanook • 3 days ago • •

After you've selected "frio" as the theme it's under the "Theme Customization" section where you pick "Light" or "Dark" frio themes and the Bookface ones should be listed after, with "Custom" as the last option.

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua

Marcus

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua • 2 days ago • •

Strangely I just noticed that for some reason your name is cut off on my own instance but not on yours, where it simply wraps:

Both servers should be running 2024.12, and mine is the latest Bookface version, so I'm not sure what's up. Normally I'd precisely cross check with friendica.world, but oh well.

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua

Marcus

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua • 2 days ago • •

Also just so I understand things correctly, was Kristi H also involved in Bookface's creation? I saw she posted about it, but that was just before I created my account, and since then it seems she's been gone.

in reply to Marcus

Alt Pygoscelis Papua

in reply to Marcus • 2 days ago • •

She might have turned into a penguin 😉

(I just wanted to separate developing Bookface from my personal account which was intended more for my friends and family)

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua

Marcus

in reply to Alt Pygoscelis Papua • 2 days ago • •

Oh, great! 😃 I came to friendica three months ago, found a lot of great ground work had been done and was being done, but also that it really needed some comprehensive changes in UI/UX to be usable by most people and actually become a real alternative to e.g. Facebook.

My plan is to drag as many people along to the alternative platforms to big tech as I can, so it's not enough that I know how to use it.

At the same time I didn't find many thinking about what changes needed to be made or more importantly doing something about it, so it was inspiring to see your posts and thoughts about it, and work towards it. But then, I noticed you were seemingly gone, and thought perhaps you'd given up on friendica, just before I was able to get a bit involved and perhaps help similar things along.

So I'm happy to see that's not the case, and you're still here! I understand the work/private life account separation. Have considered doing that myself, or perhaps using circles or something for that purpose.

in reply to Marcus

Nanook

in reply to Marcus • 2 days ago • •

@marcus @Kevin @Alt Pygoscelis Papua Personally, I like the UI better than any other social media I've looked at thus far. Not perfect but I like the fact that it handles long format posts, bbcode, multiple languages, and the overall format.

One aspect I don't like is that you can't make the global page the default and that you must leave it to post. But overall I like it.

An area I think that needs work is the internals, I have hubzilla and mastodon, but friendica is far heavier in resource usage than either of these.

@Kevin @Marcus @Alt Pygoscelis Papua

in reply to Nanook

Marcus

in reply to Nanook • 2 days ago • •

Is the "global page" /community, ie. the circle icon?

I actually just made an issue suggesting making it possible to post from that, as well as the other pages under one's profile where it's currently not possible, except perhaps the "Personal notes" page as that already has a button there used for something else (= adding a personal note).

in reply to Marcus

Nanook

in reply to Marcus • 1 day ago • •

@marcus @Kevin @Alt Pygoscelis Papua Yes exactly, that would be good. Else you have to keep switching between home and community.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to start using Friendica.

Crashes across all interfaces, takes forever to load. Maybe, if you collapsed all comments by default, just maybe it wouldn't be crunching so hard. Bluesky integration fails completely. Oh well, seemed perfect for me, in the abstract. I learned quite a lot about the potential. Think I just need to make Mastodon my one stop-shop instead.

in reply to Eric Bono

wilhelm

in reply to Eric Bono • 1 week ago • •

Sadly there is no UI in friendica itself to set a banner. You can use clients like Aria, Pachli, Fedilab or others to set a banner image. Hopefully this can one day be added to friendica UI.

Re bluesky: can't help with that. Not using that service.

in reply to wilhelm • 1 week ago from Moshidon • •

@wilhelm @Friendica Support Thanks for your input. It seemed to be an option in setup process I can't find now. It only shows up in other places, like Mastodon, for example, that have that format. I have option to edit it in 3rd party apps, like Raccoon, but whenever I upload an image and hit save button, nothing occurs. It definitely exists and needs updating. Here's a screenshot of Friendica's impossible to remove pretty lame logo in place.

in reply to Eric Bono • 1 week ago • •

Have not tested Raccoon to set a banner image. If that is not working as intended why not file an issue over at github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRaccoon/RaccoonForFriendica/issues
The dev is very friendly. Make sure to include as much detail as possible like Android version, Raccoon version, Friendica version + instance, repro steps etc.

Then this can be further investigated.

in reply to Eric Bono • 1 week ago • •

Meh, I tried it multiple times, not very excited about that app anyways. Fedilab did it fine. Friendica needs a native app. It's the most feature-rich interface, just using that through phone browser is better than anyone else's take on it. That being said, I'm good with Fedilab, Moshidon, and Elk.Zone on desktop browser. I think the Bluesky intertanglement is its own buggy problem (it barely populates the feed and only rarely). So, I'm not seeing Friendica as having further problems for me, essentially. Thank you again for your input.

@Friendica Support Hi!
When following a peertube channel through friendica - should posted videos appear in the timeline?
I added two channels, put them in a circle and in the meantime videos got published. But the circle stays empty. If I'm visiting the profile through Friendica, the videos are there.
Am I missing something?

in reply to Jonas ✅ • 1 week ago • •

@Jonas ✅ Maybe something is wrong when you don't receive new ones. You can try to put the peertube video url in the friendica search and look if you receive it then. But if something is wrong, this is not the solution, of course..

Like may be renamed

Moin! @Friendica Support

Eben sehe ich schon wieder so einen Artikel: "Menschen erschossen|Unglück|Katastrophe" und darunter:

"nn Menschen mögen das" und finde das sehr irritierend.

Da ich nicht glaube das diese Menschen das auch so meinen, denke ich eher das, dass Konzept mit den Like's nicht verstanden wird, bzw. nicht selbsterklärend genug ist.

Je nach Inhalt scheint sich die Bedeutung, von "Ich mag den Inhalt", über "Das dies geteilt wurde" zu irgend etwas unbestimmten und seltsamen zu verschieben.

Mein Vorschlag wäre die Like's zu überarbeiten und/oder mit einer besseren Benennung zu versehen.

Vielleicht was in der Richtung: "Danke das dies geteilt wurde" und "Ich stimme der Aussage zu", "Ich mag die Aussage nicht", "nn Menschen schließen sie der Aussage an", ".. mögen die Aussage nicht"

WIe ich "Mögen/Nicht mögen/Erneut teilen" verwende:

Mögen: "Das find ich spannend zu lesen (meistens anhand des Vorspanntextes), lies das mal auch."
Nicht mögen: Oft geht "der Daumen runter" wenn anders denkende Teilnehmer diffamiert werden, nur aufgrund ihrer Meinung.
Erneut teilen: "Das solltest du auf jedem Fall mal lesen, egal ob ich es mag, gut finde oder ob es spannnend ist, usw."

Mit Sicherheit kann dies in ephischer Breite ausdiskutiert werden, ob die oder jene Handhabe vernuenftig ist. Was @Matthias schreibt, kann ich aber nachvollziehen. Das beste ist, seinen Kommentar da zu lassen und die Mögen/Nicht mögen weniger emtional betrachten.

Ich kann auch @Admin Istrator verstehen, daher habe ich ihm einen "Daumen hoch" gegeben.

Postboxes Version 1.1

The Postbox and Zen Postbox add-ons have been updated with a bunch of new styles!

* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present

The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.

The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.

The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.

The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.

Notice how I said the gradients were similar to the ones Facebook used to offer? Shortly after I introduced Postboxes to Friendica the backgrounds on Facebook were coincidentally(?) completely overhauled. IMO Friendica now has a nicer selection anyway and even Facebook doesn’t offer animated post backgrounds.

Note: These styles ONLY work on Friendica and only if the viewer is using Bookface 1.7 or either of these add-ons is enabled, and the animated backgrounds only work with the add-ons. For most other platforms (Mastodon, Bluesky, etc.) they'll just see the content inside the postbox. However you should know there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to either Diaspora or Hubzilla.

You can see a live demo of the animated ones here: randompenguin1.github.io/sampl…

They are coded to stop animating when you hover or touch them, adopting a default appearance. I did it that way because "animation-play-state" is still a bit unreliable and I liked the idea of them having a "poster" state rather than just pausing at where ever they were in the animation loop.

Bookface Version 1.7 Release

These are the changes and fixes in this release:

* Restyled “New Message” button to make it more obvious.
* Fixed Profile Pics and Cover Photos not working in old iOS browsers
* Moved Postbox styles to the end of the stylesheet
* Minified Postbox CSS.
* Restyled Item Responses
* Action Buttons you’ve interacted with before now adopt accent color.
* Fix for disabled Action Buttons to make it clear they are disabled.
* Fixed issue with slow-loading secondary toolbar in Safari
* Updated with Postbox version 1.1 styles
— names of solid colors now match HTML color names
— 24 new solid colors
— 5 new gradient backgrounds
— 17 new pattern backgrounds

Some of these will be fairly obvious. The big one is that the Action Buttons below posts and comments used to change to the accent color on hover and there was no indicator if you’d previously interacted with any of them. NOW they have a slight shift in darkness/lightness on hover and the accent color indicates you’ve previously clicked the Like, Dislike, Share, or Event buttons (the exceptions being Comment or Quote). If a post's scope is limited (not public) the "Share" and "Quote" buttons are now obviously disabled by being faded out.

Action Buttons with accent color indicating previous interaction.

Engagement Counts also now show an icon indicating the type of engagement, which should make it easier to see what kind of engagement a post or comment is getting. And if there are 2+ the individuals are revealed in a pop-over box rather than pushing the entire layout down.

Engagement counts with icons and detail pop-over

The new Postbox pattern backgrounds are done with pure CSS, no images! So they’ll load and display fast and don’t incur additional server calls. Postboxes are just a nice looking way to dress up your text-only posts. Of course only Friendica users will see them, and only if they are using the Bookface scheme or their instance has installed one of the Postbox add-ons. The styling doesn’t transfer to other platforms (Note: there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to Diaspora and Hubzilla).

Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback, reported issues, and tested things for me to help improve Bookface for everyone. :D

As for my knowledge this intended newbee speaks fluently german, englisch and spanisch, tho maybe du/you/tu is a little bit to shy to ask for help .. not sure.

What is your setup and what have you tried till now @Mina to install your #friendica server, maybe we can figure out what's your problem with the installation.

@Mina

Not sure what is the actual state of the art of the installer is. Last I "heard" and experienced is that it was broken and that the best way to install is thru the console commands detailed in the helpers page:
/help/Install#Option+B%3A+Run+the+automatic+install+script

tupambae.org/help/Install#Opti…

And yes, it's recommendable to use the git install form, that way you will be able to easily update the installation.

@Friendica Support what license / terms of use is the friendica logo under?

@Fabio pointed me to the SVGs at git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… and git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… ; am I correct that they would be under CC0-1.0 as per git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… ?

Are there additional term of use on the logo?

Looking at @Fabio 's laptop yesterday we may have agreed that there is an unacceptable lack of hexagons with nested Fs, and I wanted to fix this :D

Sry no SVG.
JPG-PNG are available in all sizes up to 256px I believe.
I even ulpoaded this to git friendica I think, not sure witch versions, every once in a while I retouch something.
Terms of use are CC0 (actually NC) but in the case of friendica anything goes.

The colored circular image is a svg "permafluer", published creative commons by someone else in some CC svg catalogue site. The copy left is from a SVG creative commons site. The friendica base is from a friendica logo itself.
Gimme a day and I look up all the info with links if I can.

Versions of this have been used as canvas for forum profiles, see here to get an idea:
tupambae.org/directory

btw
The image I posted is the background image of this friendica server as you may find if you visite this comment or for example our TOS page:
tupambae.org/tos
