Hellooo :blobfoxwave: I'm ilja!

I believe in a world of cooperation rather than competition. One of my current personal projects in life is to lessen my dependence on for-profit companies, and rather join non-profits and coops. I consider the world of free software and free culture an important part of this more cooperative world I long for.

I created the following bots:
@citizen_initiative_bot
@translate
@cc_music_bot
@hiragana_flashcards

If you like free culture and movies, check out https://movielounge.ilja.space I made! And if it's something you want to help grow, let me know! You can also follow along on @movielounge <3

Other cool projects I'd like to share are #Yunohost, #UbuntuTouch and #MapComplete. Check 'em out!

Last week i read a few articles about scientific studies that seem to show that

  • people forget everything they learn in school, unless they already know it from general osmosis
  • people also forget everything they learn in university, but it doesn't matter because people don't go there to learn but to get a degree
  • scientists (especially sociologists) do not understand statistics, not even statisticians
  • the likelihood of a paper passing peer review is only lightly correlated to the quality of the paper

I guess the first thing explains why it seems to matter so little (after a decade) whether you send a kid to a regular school or do something like homeschooling or montessori. Although it's hard to say if this applies to all kinds of schooling or just to the current degree-based system.

ilja,

@lain i remember there used to be a quiz show where all the questions were things kids learned at school (and, well, it was a quiz show, so obviously it wasn't something the people participating in it found particularly easy).

ilja,

@sun not sure if this is what you look for, but the bank of england wrote an article "Money creation in the modern
economy" which may be of interest here https://web.archive.org/web/20140319122540/http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarterlybulletin/2014/qb14q102.pdf

As a fun little experiment, @damon and I worked together to get a instance up and running that stores media on ! It was an interesting learning experience.

I don’t think we’re ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there’s an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.

This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.

ilja,

@deadsuperhero @damon Someone once wrote an uploader for pleroma for ipfs, but it never got merged afaik 🙁

each time i see discussions about copyleft vs non-copyleft floss licenses, i'm reminded of https://ncase.me/trust/ and how i basically see proprietary as being the "Always Cheat" strategy, non-copyleft floss as the "Always Cooperate" strategy, and copyleft as the "Copycat" (i.e. tit-for-tat) strategy.

And what we see is that, in the end, "Always Cooperate" gets pushed out by "Always Cheat", while "Copycat" not only can defeat "Always Cheat", but even allows "Always Cooperate" to live and thrive.

You can hypothesise all you want how you believe copyleft is bad, game theory tells me a different story

Nicotine Bees was a documentary on vidcommons, but the movie itself didn't mark it as CC licensed. I had to go through several hoops to "prove" that the source who claims it's CC BY is actually legit, but i think i've got it now :blobfoxsweating: i'm currently uploading another documentary from the same director, but once that one is finished, i'll upload Nicotine Bees to archive.org as well.

my current take on TDD is that everybody tests when developing.

you write a piece of code, run it to see what it does, then build further.

each time you run the code to see what it does, is testing.

and afterwards, you'll probably try some other stuff to see if you didn't break anything. this is again testing.

the only difference is whether or when you automate this otherwise manual action. but i hardly find that a fundamental difference.

ilja,

@lanodan i can understand certain changes that are hard to test. But always? For everything? Not running the code even once during development?

why do people say "smh my head", isn't it easier to just shorten to "smhmh"

Any suggestions for getting TCP forwarding working via ? I’m getting errors like this:

refused local port forward: originator 127.0.0.1 port 49673, target 127.0.0.1 port 443

The sshd -T output suggests that it should work:

$ grep -i 'forward|permitopen' full-sshd-config
x11forwarding no
allowtcpforwarding yes
allowagentforwarding yes
disableforwarding no
allowstreamlocalforwarding yes
permittunnel no
permitopen 127.0.0.1:443

(The host is pretty locked down, which is why I have the PermitOpen directive instead of allowing all forwarding.)

ilja,

@tk i did this once if that's what you mean https://ilja.space/notice/AURlsbD1irmoWZSf6O It's too long ago to remember if or what problems i had with it, but maybe some permissions are needed for the port forwarding (not necessarily ssh permissions related)? I see I used root here, but I'm unsure if that was needed or not.

    I was just thinking... If MS would open Teams (Open Source, its own repo at its GitHub)... Do you think people would contribute to fix annoying bugs of the software? Because I know a couple that drives me crazy.

    btw does someone now if RejectNewlyCreatedAccountNotesPolicy mrf breaks account migrations / follows or does it only work on actual posts?

    I mean.. a Note could be anything in AP like a follow req or sth.. or do i misunderstand that?

    ilja,

    @rick A Note is very specifically what we call a post. But checking the code, I see when type in ["Note", "Create"]. So in reality it will block everything wrapped in a Create activity. Boost/repeat, following requests, move... should still go through.

    ilja,

    @rick Both notations are correct. Elixir allows to use an underscore as a separators, but it's not required to do so

    something i notice on fedi is that people often think it's bad to start many projects that they "never finish". i think that's wrong. you do projects because you found a passion in it, and i find passion to be a good thing. there's people who find a passion and it stays and they continue following it and working on it, and that's commendable. but the idea that this should be the general rule is ridiculous. following many passions throughout life gives you understanding and insights that you simply can't get by sticking to one thing. and i consider those insights good things to have in life.

    the only time i see people talk about rss being dead, is when they talk about how others say rss is dead, but they themselves don't think rss is dead..

    the thing about bottoms password generators is that they are too predictable

    It's a license that says someone is allowed to use the software under a specific floss license, but only after satisfying certain conditions.

    This means that the software is originally not floss, because there's conditions who make it non-floss. But the moment someone satisfies the conditions, they can now share it freely under the floss license.

    Like "You are allowed to use this software under an agpl-v3-or-later license, under the condition that you first pet my belly :3"

    ilja,

    i just realised i can't do this cause i host my stuff on codeberg :blobfoxowo:

    @Mitsu fwiw, any one who thinks someone is ever a failure for going back to school, is not worth their opinion
