I agreed to do a "fediverse tour" as a part of a conference about alternative networks in September and I have to come up with a paragraph description today of it. How would you describe a tour of this space to someone totally unfamiliar with the fediverse?

@liaizon I don't understand two words, hydra and ebb. Otherwise, its good.

hey @exodus, just had this exchange about how the report for (https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/429939) is totally wrong. What is the procedure for filing an issue with the results of one of your reports?

@liaizon @exodus Tulir is very implicated in Matrix developement. He is the author of Gomuks CLI client. So his statements or more likely to be true.

@hszakher @liaizon But that terrorist group from somalia is not famous. I never heared of it before now. While Taliban and Daesh, etc. are very actually famous. Daesh even has a media and communication department I guess where they make professionally made videos and propaganda.

Setting up child / accounts for my 2 youngest kids.... was just about the most unfriendly user experience I've ever had.

The Live ecosystem that MS uses for accounts just redirects you constantly, forgets who's logged in. Keeps having to re-authenticate me but sometimes it asks for an email sometimes it emails a code. It's anybody's guess!

So I'm juggling access to my email, my 2 kids' emails. Some stuff needs an app because the website can't do it. I had 3 browsers open....

Made the mistake of reading through a discussion between publishing types on an “AI”-adjacent topic (rumours about tech cos contemplating buying Simon & Schuster). I’ve rarely seen so much concentrated ignorance on so many topics bundled together in a single thread 🙄

@baldur stop reading whatever grinds your gears. Unless your contribution may have tangible added value, just ignore it.

Coming soon: it’s going to be trivial to deploy a different app on your Small Web server. Useful if you’re a dev and you’re playing around with different apps.

https://vimeo.com/932120624

(Also, notice the speed at which deployment happens. I’m one step away from implementing this in Domain using pre-warmed Kitten instances – called toasty kittens – thereby bringing the time it takes to deploy your own Small Web place down to a handful of seconds.)

:kitten: 💕

@aral can you explain, even broadly, how do you deploy a space, please?

Microsoft is paying people to replace master/slave terminology in the Linux kernel

dragnucs,
@dragnucs@touha.me avatar

@feld I never understood how master/slave terminology is racist or such. It is an analogy or a principle that applies to objects. Its not like a master in a database cluster would abuse people and slave replicas have been kidnapped and are exploited and have their human rights stripped away. The intention is very good and if someone provides a patch to improve wording it would be nice. But this effort is better spent fixing actual slavery.

I love my bestie so much but her voice notes are so long. I’m tired and full of cold and confused by the clock change and I’ve had to text her to say that I just don’t have the capacity to listen to an 8 and a half minute message. Am I an awful person?

dragnucs,

@purplepadma 8 minutes is way too long. A bit hard but not wrong of you to tell her you cannot listen to that much.

aral, to hosting
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

Right, I’m back to focussing on Domain* now that another round of dev is complete on Kitten** and, two years after I originally asked the question: does anyone know of a comparable service to Hetzner Cloud (API, affordable, very quick server setup, VPS) that supports CoreOS?

I still can’t find any. And my attempts to get Hetzner to support it have failed (mostly due to lack of interest on Fedora’s side) 🤷‍♂️

https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1324

dragnucs,
@dragnucs@touha.me avatar

@aral you can install coreos on hetzner using the rescue mode.

Using terraform: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/howto-hcloud-terraform-fedora-coreos

Manually: https://major.io/p/deploy-fedora-coreos-in-hetzner-cloud/

dragnucs,
@dragnucs@touha.me avatar

@aral I see. Then after creating the server you may want to take a snapshot of it and remove the VPS. You can use this fresh snapshot to create new VPS. However I haven't figured out a way to re run cloud init on servers started that eau from the snapshot. My solution was to hop to Debian.

I'm suprised that shitposter.club decided to switch to Mastodon, but thinking about it more, it really makes sense. Mastodon just works better for more users.

@Moon @kaia whaloaat, is not pleroma a lighter implementation than Mastodon?

chrisg, to Redis
@chrisg@fosstodon.org avatar

There goes Redis:

https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing/

This is such a mess, it is hard not to feel angry.

Briefly - the cloud providers are definitely a huge issue. They are the vampires of the software community and the root cause of many of our problems.

But redis didn't go against them. They went against the community that made them grow. Same like Mongo, Neo4j.

And as @jenniferplusplus said - don't sign CLAs. They are a big part that let moves like these happen.

@chrisg @jenniferplusplus what are viable redis alternatives?

Not sure why apple cider vinegar is called that, in German we just skip the cider bit and call it Apfelessig. I mean are there other common kinds of apple vinegars?

@juliank un french it is called vinaigre de cidre. (Vider vinaigre). So maybe there are many kinds of cider vinaigres.

Me, reporting bugs to small devs vs giant devs:
"I love your app! But when I click on "share" links, it sends folks to the Apple App store, even if the user is on Android. This might be sending a lot of users to the wrong place. Browser detection before routing would help!

Small dev:
Meh. We'll get to it.

Giant Dev:
On it today! Fixed! But... 🤔why are you even looking at this? And why now? Is this for I/O?! It's for I/O isn't it? Ha! Deny it, but you can't fool me! Do you need assets?

dragnucs,

@bynkii @mekkaokereke I am a small Dev. I would love if you report bugs to me. Sure I might not fix them right I away but it let's me know my software is being used.
