@pfefferle It’s a nice list of changes, but I wonder if it's clear what those would mean for a typical (advanced) WP-user.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.53 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

New user feature to search by post content (using regular expressions) or tag.

Added some (partial) support for Event object types.

Minor fixes: Allow unboosting your own posts (contributed by khm), CSS fixes for the Dillo browser (contributed by kvibber).

@grunfink @Shamar Maybe related, Richard Hipp gave some numbers for Fossil running as CGI on sqlite.org https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/fdd3d9c271ceb378?t=h

For ActivityPub I guess one need to be able to push activity outside the cgi to make it efficient? Either running using cron or a different submit-like (sendmail-ish) service.

People of Mastodon!

I'm researching the growth of ebikes ...

... in cities around the US

I've talked to many people who love them!

But also want to include the perspective of folks who have concerns ...

... i.e. about the speed and weight of ebikes in accidents with pedestrians or other cyclists, and the like

If anyone has thoughts they wanna share, ping me! I'm all ears: clive@clivethompson.net

Pass this along if you know anyone else with perspective they want to share

aslakr,
@aslakr@mastodon.social avatar

@clive From a European perspective, what's considered to be an ebike in US the seems a bit wild https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle_laws?wprov=sfti1#European_Union_definition

In Europe the max speed for assistance from
the (max 250 W) motor is 25 km/h or 15 mph

Hvorfor Bane NOR?

Driver dere med annonsesalg, eller tjener dere noen ekstra småkroner på å selge trafikkdata på de som titter på nettsidene deres?

Eller er det optimizely/episerverfolka som får inn noen ekstrakroner uten at dere bryr dere?

Now been Deutsched by the train driver of the Strasbourg - Offenburg train… for talking

The train is here. I got on. A guy with a bike got on. He asked me a question, we talked

Driver comes out of the cab, scowls at me, and says “Pause!”

I’m only sat here in your effing train so early because your timetables are crap. Shame on me for disturbing your peace by helping a fellow passsnger

The driver is SWEG though, so probably not allowed to use a SNCF staff waiting room

@jon I have taken this train, from Offenburg to Strasbourg. Noisy diesel, even tough the track is electrified between the cities? Different electrification systems, but still why?

In response to @adactio's provocation "A blog post doesn't need a title", @Edent argues that, as a HTML document, it necessarily does (even if it's blank).

But does a blog have to be HTML? I'd say: no - https://danq.me/does-a-blog-have-to-be-html

What would you consider as the most recognizable bitmap fonts in tech history?

I’m imagining stuff like:

  • the arcade/Atari font
  • Chicago (Mac, then iPod)
  • VCR/video equipment fonts
  • Minecraft font
  • IBM PC fonts (MDA, VGA, stuff like that)
  • perhaps System font from Windows 3.x
  • Commodore 64, just because of the sheer popularity of the machine

What am I missing?

@gruber @mwichary But did the Monaco exists as 9 pt bitmap font? On my Classic with System 7.1 it seems like it doesn't.

Geneva seems like it was the only font that did have an italic bitmap (9 pt) version. Times, Helvetica and Palatino doesn't and look crap in italics because bitmap override the TrueType-versions

I got into professional software development in the early 2000s. At the time Java and .NET were kings. Ive since learned that Smalltalk was a serious contender in the 90s. My question is, what happened?

Was there something about the Smalltalk language or runtime that made it a poor choice for business software, or did Sun and Microsoft just have better marketing?

I’ve worked in web development for what feels like a century. I must’ve written a bazillion redirects in Apache, nginx, php, node, and probably half a dozen other languages/configurations.

And still, to this day, I need to Google ‘302 vs 301’ every single time I write a redirect to remind myself which one is the permanent and which one is the temporary.

If someone has a tip to help me remember, I’ll be forever grateful!

aslakr,
@aslakr@mastodon.social avatar

@michael I thought one should use 307 and 308 since 301/302 might change protocol (eg. from POST to GET). But if the redirect is only for GET this might not be a problem. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-307-temporary-redirect

aslakr,
@aslakr@mastodon.social avatar

@michael The fact that Apache's "permanent" and "temp" in https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect and https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/flags.html#flag_r generates 301 and 302 says a lot

What generates more carbon pollution for a typical commute: a petrol car or an electric grid that powers an electric tram?

@tom_andraszek @25kV Also, petrol etc. doesn’t magically appear at the petrol station. It needs to be produced/refined, transported and stored.

@tom_andraszek @25kV Transporting energy using wires on the other hand, that's indistinguishable from magic

Is there really no way to mute somebody else’s thread where somebody has mentioned you? Can’t find anything for it in either the apps I use or the web UI.

Edit: found it. The option is only availabe if you’re in the Notifications view. If you’ve pressed the post the “mute conversation” option disappears from the ellipsis menu.
