missing from ( too?): a "mute thread" that would actually disappear the thread and all boosts of it from the timeline

I've been very light on #firefox addon usage but started using Simple Tab Groups yesterday and it's so amazing

Lmao, the official Mastodon Android client crashes as soon as I enter blahaj.zone into the server picker. The ​:blahaj:​ power xD

Tusky actually works (using "login with browser") but with post markup issues. Mentioned usernames aren't clickable correctly (just always parsed as local ignoring the server part) and there are HTML escapes in various places.

the pop culture knowledge of the effects of a nuclear EMP are similar to the pop culture of the effects of fentanyl powder thrown in your face

valpackett,

@whitequark wait is the fentanyl thing like "pop culture" fr? I thought it was literally a particular meme about something some cops said a couple times

​:blobcat_peekwave:​ do we have any users here? anyone too frustrated with the storage/hosting/saving options to use it personally? anyone looking for a notes thing to switch to due to the news?

I'm going to be announcing my big big project here soon… I've been working on something VERY big in this area for about a year on-and-off…

if you're publishing open source code, your enemies will use it. personal enemies, political enemies, class enemies. they will use it and derive benefit from it and there is nothing you can do to stop it. (no, licenses aren't it.)

i think that if you're not ready for this you should probably not publish open source code

valpackett,

@whitequark i know "political enemies" doesn't literally mean "politicians" but the image of, say, Trump booting a FreeBSD laptop is an amazing one…

Firefox's built-in tracking protection straight up blocks the entire UI of Threads because it's served from fbcdn 🤣

One of those spam emails sent to everyone who stars all the things on github just called me "deeply involved in the AI space". I think that's the worst I've been insulted so far

A question for those of you familiar with countries that use stand alone bidets. In Buenos Aires, as far as I can determine from my limited experience, bidets almost seem to be required by law to be powerful enough to strip the paint off of walls. The jet of water could literally touch the roof if you didn't stick your posterior in the way!

Are all stand alone bidets like that?

valpackett,

@ada lmao you just made me do an experiment on mine 😆 no, it reaches maybe like 0.5m up (but that's like because my building doesn't have that much water pressure i guess)

valpackett,

@jesusmargar @ada SOMOS CAMPEONES OTRA VEZ!! CUANTAS COPAS TENEEEES 🤣

mini-project announcement!! (but finally something new)

https://codeberg.org/valpackett/argon2ian is built as for evergreen browsers and , but like, size-optimized for real. Only 8.5 KB for the whole async (web workers powered) JS wrapper, and that's with everything inline, no external file loads at all – completely bundle-able like a normal JS module. No text encoding for the hashes though, just the raw stuff.

p.s. if anyone is interested in cronching some other library like this, you could maybe hire me for such a project :)

Okay I think for first attempt getting Linux running I'm just going to sigh and install Ubuntu 23.04. If it works ok and I establish a /home on the other drive I'll consider pop!_os later as an experiment in learning (or living without) kernel signing.

My goals:

  • Fit on 37 GB spare partition
  • Get Vulkan running and execute one webgpu program in Rust
  • (win condition) Successfully support a sound card with 16 channels of IO
  • (stretch goal) Get Wayland running
valpackett,

@mcc that whole UX was inspired by macOS.. Apple's Finder also has all the known-but-unmounted drives included in the sidebar and when you click one it gets mounted and an eject icon appears there. I don't remember which drives get auto mounted on login though in macOS, a Windows drive would probably alsoooo only get mounted in response to that user action..

Sony WH-1000XM5 first impressions:

The earcups are shallower, so my ears contact the bottom pads and that feels weird. I hope I adjust to this soon.

The noise cancellation is incredible. Audibly superior to Bose. with QC45s, I hear a high-frequency hiss from the air purifier fan. With the XM5s, complete silence. None sound.

The surface finish seems to be designed for people who have no skin oils, because wearing mine for five minutes as a clean boy, they already look hilariously disgusting.

valpackett,

@danderson yeeeah that part so ass, I need to find third party earcups, currently if I don't put mine on in some exact particular way my right ear (always the right one) hurts

While some first world countries are going through some very dark times of transphobia…

in the congress is going to debate a law project about a reparatory pension for trans people over 40.

Not yet anything, no guarantee that it'll pass, no one knows rn what party will be the next government, etc etc but like. This is on the table. And it should be, and that should be normal, but in the world we have right now… this is exceptional, incredible. <3

looking at ts101 marketing materials & i guess i have to buy one now

valpackett,

@whitequark i like how there's a PC mainboard in the background. lol if they want to target the Actually Hardcore Overclocking guy they'd need to make a much bigger more powerful iron

HELLLLL NAAWWWWW this is some bullshit.... I caught my #ISP throttling the connection to the FRICKING #FREEBSD PKG SERVER!

For real, speeds were like 8.3kbps in a fiber connection. And then I confirmed the BS by adding a VPN on top and running pkg upgrade again. Boom, back to 1~2Mbps again. Caught 'em Red. fucking. handed.

Why even do this shit? For real. It's just fucking HTTP!

#trafficshaping #bullshit

valpackett,

@kzimmermann are you sure it's not bad routing happening entirely accidentally? make sure to look at traceroute…

if there's an ActivityPub where's PassivityPub then

Published my WIP Apple HID-over-SPI driver (that's a trackpad/keyboard support thing) as D39863. Sadly I no longer have access to the hardware so I need someone with a pre-T2-but-post-2015 MacBook to do testing for me…

I like , I just wish it didn't take 14 seconds to resume from S3 suspend on my X200

Also, the system uptime is actual runtime and not time since it was switched on, although now I'm not sure what the "correct" way is.

valpackett,

@RL_Dane haha, not having a suspend-aware monotonic clock is a long-standing omission, here and here I've been looking into that stuff across platforms from a userland API point of view, and yeah I might work on fixing that. I'm kinda amazed that you've just noticed it as a user!

valpackett,

@RL_Dane it's actually pretty simple conceptually: monotonic time is a sum of power-on time and accumulated counter time. so to make a suspend-aware monotonic clock, just make it so that when the RTC is adjusted, we advance the power-on time by (current rtc time - last monotonic value) if that's positive. That check, just never advancing by a negative value, is all it takes to ensure that monotonic is still monotonic.

Would it be easier to just add a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW that counts suspend time?

_RAW is an entirely wrong name ;) and no, if you read the links more, you'll see that I asked about which way to go, and people have agreed that we should indeed do it correctly (like OpenBSD and macOS do, making _MONOTONIC suspend-aware and relegating the suspend-unaware to _UPTIME) because the text of POSIX essentially implicitly tells you to make it suspend-aware already.

valpackett,

@RL_Dane well, the little discussion/fix-the-defines patch got some good discussion and that's it, but it's not the real patch… I'm yet to work on the actual clock code haha
