Is anyone out there running a #mastodon instance using #digitalOcean#spaces for their datastore? I am having a rough time connecting mastodon to spaces:
ugh i can't figure out where the Spaces directory came from and why I have new #obsidianMD notes that wound up in there. i don't see a reference to "Spaces" in my plugins other than Workspace Manager and no workspace named "Home" exists anyway.
any ideas? i think i created the two notes it put into those folders either by a non-existent link in my daily note yesterday because it doesn't have the usual yaml cues from Unique Note Create. @obsidianmd plz halp #PKM#obsidian#spaces
What's grabbing attention over at Xitter Spaces today?
AI Hot takes with Qanon Shaman
Remember when @MattBinder broke #Spaces & pissed off #ElonMusk ?
My hot take? Commercial AI is being trained on 4Chan and Qanon so it can create new fake conspiracies while government AI is being trained to find real ones.
The DFG Collaborative Research Centre 1369 “Cultures of #Vigilance. Transformations – #Spaces – Techniques” (sfb_1369) at the #LMU Munich is offering four visiting scholarships for PhD candidates.
Today I got to tell my students that in the bad old days we used to write scripts that just SSHed into every machine and ran sed on config files but today we had puppet and I regret to inform you that based on their facial expressions we apparently still write scripts that just SSH into every machine and run sed on config files
@neurovagrant Learning #Matrix and running your own #homeserver is very rewarding. I run #Synapse for my family and personal social circle (the way social networking should be), and to connect to other Matrix #spaces and #rooms. This includes bridges to #irc, #slack, #discord, #signal, #SMS, and so on.. Matrix is a super good and flexible way to serve you and yours. We even utilize the #WebRTC functionality for #E2EE voice and video chats. #digitalsovereignty should be way more popular. 😮💨
@collin Tabs. I used to be team #spaces but then I learned about how tabs are more accessible to devs with visual impairment. Also, modern IDEs allow you to configure the size of the tabs so you could customize how the code looks (I like wide indentations) without making a single change to source files.
@mattwilcox Oof, this hits hard, because my interest in #accessibility completely agrees with you, but this is such an unpopular opinion that making such a transition will be a long and tricky process (not to say it's not worthwhile), and I'll have to work out how to configure various linters and code formatters to do the right thing.
Have you found code formatters can usually be configured to use tabs without too much trouble?
(In particular, I've not yet worked out if I can make autopep8 or similar go against its grain and not just do 4-space indents.) #indentation#tabs#spaces#tabsOverSpaces
#twitter is, technically speaking, trash. #Millions of users have been #locked out of their accounts since #spaces started crashing. It is #broken. #Nos is what #Mastodon was supposed to be. Mastodon is filled with 35 year old #children and is pretty much #dead.
The #Fediverse has not been #optimized. There is no board driving us to increase #engagement, no matter what kind. As #admin we have some metrics but what we are really fighting for are #Spaces where people can find #connection and maybe some #meaning; people feel #safe and #respected; #creativity#imagination and #humor can flourish. Working for The Man in #tech, he always told us we were making a better world. What we are all making here together is one of the few times that is true.
