@o76923 really took the "Emoji Manager" role a little too seriously

I jest, you're doing a great job, keep it up!

o76923, to rust
@o76923@kitty.social avatar

Can someone tell me the URL to find the emoji manifest in #IceShrimp? Some equivalents are

Sharkey: /api/emojis
Pleroma: /api/v1/pleroma/emoji
Glitch-soc: /api/v1/custom_emojis

I know that such a file has to exist because emojos.in works correctly for void.rehab but I don't know enough #Rust to figure out where they're getting the path out of the server instance.

@o76923 as much as I can tell, emojos.in just uses the mastodon-standard endpoint for emoji for literally anything:
void.rehab would be https://void.rehab/api/v1/custom_emojis

code from emojos.in src:

    let mut url = Url::from_str("https://host.invalid/api/v1/custom_emojis").unwrap();
    if url.set_host(Some(&instance)).is_err() {
        return Err(InstanceError::from_kind(Kind::NotFound, instance));
    }
...
            Kind::NotFound => {
                "Not a fediverse instance, or does not support the Mastodon custom emoji API"
            }

Got a Livongo welcome kit in the mail today after succumbing to my workplace's email annoyances winning out over my health concerns... I gotta say, it's an impressive piece of kit, including a glucose monitor (and supplies: 100 lancets, 150 test strips, and control solution), blood pressure cuff, and scale, which are all individually LTE-enabled. For free with insurance. No pairing, no random BT-LE connectivity issues, no smartphone required, no internet connection required, and you can do just as much if not more on their website as you can do in the app- You could feasibly go to a public library to manage your data.

Then, of course, I started looking into how hackable the devices were, wondering what kind of shenanigans I could get into or the possibility of liberating/exporting my data to other ecosystems, and stumbled upon a thread showing that the glucose monitor has a serial-over-USB interface, but didn't get much further than that in results.

And then, I ended up finding the manual for the scale, wondering if it was also cellular after the app had suggested I still needed to "activate" it, and stumbled upon this gem:

I think this means my new biometric monitoring equipment is Right to Repair friendly??

I should really do a write-up of how I integrated Firefish/Sharkey's oauth2 implementation into Matrix...

Had an awesome Renewal of Vows Ceremony in with my wonderful fiance @RaevFrostSpiri and a whole bunch of friends from my new FC! Such a joyous event spent together with my darling just two weeks after proposing to her IRL on Valentine's Day! Considering the time and difficulty that it's going to take for US immigration to process things so that we can get married IRL, I'm sure this is a moment we will treasure for the foreseeable future, as a way amongst others that we have grown closer over time. 🥰

Cool, I got the empty Teams changelog popup, too

@volpeon Just got the empty Teams changelog a few moments ago, and it took a couple of minutes but it eventually rendered ​:ablobthinking:​

Uhhhhh ... 2023 has been the year of me leaving communities I join. ​:neofox_flush:​

  • Left a bad Pleroma instance (Got into Misskey-based software)
  • Left Odysee (Radicalized into the left)
  • Left FurAffinity (Design was outdated)
  • Left Newgrounds (Couldn't find much good artists amongst the dudeart circlejerk)
  • Left Tumblr (Never got into its shitty algorithm-based UI)
  • Left Minidisc.tokyo (Foundkey died)
  • Left Berserker.town (I realized the admin was a centrist incel)
    I hope I don't have to move two more times. Kitty.social only has to move from Firefish to another Misskey fork, and Wetdry.world just needs to apologize to one of their users. Here's hoping that happens, and I'm optimistic that it will. ​:neofox_woozy:​

@limepeep I still have to check out the whole Firefish situation and explore alternatives, I've just been kinda busy with life lately, but I should have some time open up in the new year... Rest assured that I'll get to it eventually, I don't pay $200+ a month to keep this site afloat for nothing :>

sometimes I wonder why my phone is simultaneously my smallest display with the largest resolution of any of my devices, and my projector is simultaneously my largest display with the smallest resolution of any of my devices

@via what's the auth solution you're using to share logins between fedi and matrix?

Kitty,
@Kitty@kitty.social avatar

@via @greycat hacked out custom python script exposing an API endpoint over VPN that verifies passwords directly against the calckey database and returns a boolean for whether auth is successful in addition to some metadata, and one of the example auth scripts for the matrix server hacked out to work with the first script

it'd be nice if calckey offered oauth or saml but that's what we've got for now
