I’ve been using the How We Feel app to record my daily emotions for the last couple years. They do a good job of keeping all the data on your phone to protect your privacy. Unfortunately this means I just lost a couple years worth of that data when I upgraded my phone last week 😢 it does have the option to back up or transfer the data to another device, but it wasn’t on my list of apps I needed to remember to do that for, so I didn’t realize I had lost the data until it was too late 😔
The tension between protecting privacy by default and surprise data loss is a tough design decision for each app. I now have iCloud backup turned on, but wish I had been notified that was an option before I lost data from one of the most difficult times in my life.
I’m pretty relieved to finally see some sanity in the stock market around Truth Social. I wonder if it will drop below that ~$17 threshold that’s part of Trump’s stock grant clause? 🤔
I just finally upgraded my M1 laptop to Sonoma, figuring all the bugs would be worked out and fixed by now... but nope! It just randomly broke some symlinks in my git repository in a weird way. The link seemed to work just fine when I opened the file manually, but docker claimed it couldn't find the target of the link. Can't wait to slowly find more instances of this! 🫠
COPY . . copies file by file, whereas COPY ./ ./ will copy whole directories at once. I’m grateful to have found an easy solution, but there still something ofd happening with symlinks in Sonoma since I didn’t run into this issue before the upgrade and there are a few bug reports with the same issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255314103https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255320737
The world is suddenly paying closer attention due to western civilian deaths from the WCK attack, but I hope this moment is used to push back on the strategy that has been so blatantly indifferent to Palestinian civilian deaths
I had to have surgery the morning of the second day of #FediForum so I’m still catching up with all of the demos and session notes, but I was so impressed with quality of discussions and how much exciting stuff is being built! After 5+ years hanging out on the fediverse, I feel like it’s finally happening!
Hey can anyone on an akkoma, misskey, micro.blog, or friendica instance follow @frequency and tell me if you are able to see the photos on posts?
I'm trying to test out an issue with photos with privacy signatures on s3 not federating properly to pixelfed, and I'm looking to narrow down whether this is specific to pixelfed or a more general problem with this approach + federation. So far mastodon and hubzilla instances seem to handle it just fine 🤷🏻♀️
We had that problem long ago. A number of security products flagged our URLs as suspect and rejected them because they believed reputable software wouldn't do this. We were actually sending our 8192 byte RSA publickeys at the time in order to save an additional network round trip. In theory there's no limit, but in practise nearly everybody has limits. I've managed to trim them down and chalk it up to another lesson learned.
@mikedev that sounds so reasonable. I figured since I'm mostly just using s3's default signed url output, that would be familiar and acceptable to most software, but clearly not! 😅 At least that's an easier fix than having to track down caching issues lol
I feel pretty angry when I read about Apple's failed EV project after having to use XCode, AppStoreConnect, or any other Apple dev toolchain. WHY are you trying to build a car when you could invest a fraction of that money into the tools that all the developers you LITERALLY rely on for your crazy revenue have to use and suffer with every day? I will never not be insulted by how much they care about consumer UX and how little they care about DX 😤
I've been switched over for nearly a month now and am quite happy with the move. I just ran out of hobby plan credits and will officially start paying this month. Looking at the costs from last month, I think I'll end up paying about 1/3 the cost of heroku for similar performance.
I do see a bit more downtime and API errors when doing deployments with fly, but heroku has had more than a decade to become as mature as it is 😄
Valentine’s day is coming up next week, but I’ve never been a fan of the view American culture has of love or the way we “celebrate” it. It gives us all (myself included) such a narrow definition of love. This talk describes a better one that we can all aspire to, if we have the courage: https://youtu.be/dHvWiTjbqNY
I'm testing deployment of my mastodon fork to fly.io after using heroku for a while.. going to document my process and the issues I run into
First problem after signing up: it asks me to add a credit card, but then gives me this error. I'm guessing it actually needs me to verify my email before adding a credit card, but that's not the flow it lead me through 😅
I ended up just pointing the app back at the heroku database for now using fly secrets set DATABASE_URL=$(heroku config:get DATABASE_URL) until I can dig further into what the issue with the copied db is. Maybe I'll just keep using the heroku postgres db since it's managed and fly's is not 🤷🏻♀️
At the very least things are working (minus a couple of links and buttons on the homepage), the native app can work again, and no data will be lost.
And I would say the migration process is pretty straightforward and well-documented.
My biggest headaches mostly came from the fact that this was my first time building my own docker image rather than just deploying and running a pre-built one, so I needed to work through learning what I did and didn't need to copy from the Dockerfile my fork already had from mastodon's main branch.
Each Facebook User is Monitored by Thousands of Companies
"On average, each participant in the study had their data sent to Facebook by 2,230 companies. That number varied significantly, with some panelists’ data listing over 7,000 companies providing their data. "
You have to apply for an entitlement to even do it, the warning that pops up when a user clicks the link clearly discourages it and makes it seem dangerous, and then you still have to give them a 12-27% commission? Unbelievable.
Happy to see South Africa and the ICJ stepping up to investigate this since the US and its allies are unwilling to stand up more forcefully and stop the heartbreaking death toll in Gaza. At the same time, presenting evidence in court while the war rages on doesn't feel like enough action...
