Hey #Fediverse #Portugal, I am in #Porto till Thursday and would love to catch a coffee/beer/wine with any fedi person who's in town. Hit me up. 🙂

Also, #Hacker fedi, I am looking for hackerspaces in Porto, but they all seem defunct? Any such place that is active?

"joinhackerspace dot org" with a "choose your physical community instance" and info on different hackerspaces when?

I mean, wiki.hackerspaces.org is great, but. :blobcatwink:

Do masks work?

Antimaskers point to a thoroughly dubunked study.

Mask defenders point out that the study has been thoroughly debunked.

A REAL MYSTERY

@palafo @gwensnyder thanks. My was able to extract the whole article, paywall or no paywall, though.

@palafo @gwensnyder oh absolutely. Didn't mean to depreciate your making it available de-paywalled!

@futurebird @theresnotime yyyup. But your general point is well-taken. Let's see if/how the "Nazi in a bar" problem gets sorted by the bartender.

I hear instance admins and moderators "keep people hostage" on this here fedi. At least that's what some people commenting on my BlueSky-related blogpost keep claiming. Somehow always in a "free speech" context. :thaenkin:

Anyone feeling taken hostage by their admins/moderators? :blobcateyes:

@lmorchard and yet you participate in socie^W^W^Wuse an instance hosted by someone else, how curious!.. :thinking_rotate:

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@mb I am not going to dive into 101010 stuff, it's a complex subject and I had some thoughts that I had shared way back when on that.

But the point I am going to make is that even what you describe is not "your instance admin holding you hostage." That is, it's not your instance admin that is stopping you (hypothetical, generic "you" here, not you personally) from migrating.

So even that reading of that "argument" makes no sense to me.

Just saw a request for this in my webserver logs:

/en/index.html?a=<script>alert("XSS");</script>&b=UNION+SELECT+ALL+FROM+information_schema+AND+'+or+SLEEP(5)+or+'&c=../../../../etc/passwd

Awww sweetie, that's so thoughtful… but that's a static site, dear. Like, there isn't even a back-end process, much less a database anywhere near.

I know you care, honey, but it's time to move on.

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@berkes yeah, I should probably do the same. Got plenty of suspicious logs I could pull samples out of.

The amount of effort which goes into making our home computers work is absolutely incredible!

We mine the purist silicon sand we can find & extensively purify it further. We grow massive crystals from it's molten form, then slice it like deli ham using special saws.

In our cleanest & most tectonically-stable buildings we use complex expensive equipment to etch absolutely microscopic runes (mostly for memory) shaping how electricity flows through this otherwise non-conductive crystal.

1/2?

@alcinnz thank you for this wonderful, thoughtful thread. Magic runes etched into thinking rock, indeed!

@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@twt @alcinnz I don't think I ever used a device for shorter than 3 years, unless it broke down somehow.

But then again, I tend to spend a few months doing research before upgrading, so…

BlueSky is cosplaying
https://rys.io/en/167.html

> Almost exactly six months after got taken over by a petulant edge lord, people seem to be done with grieving the communities this disrupted and connections they lost, and are ready, eager even, to jump head-first into another toxic relationship. This time with BlueSky.

tl;dr:

  • seems designed to get secondarily centralized in the "reach" layer (as they call it)
  • moderation is an afterthought
  • Jack Dorsey

@evalprime oh this is super-interesting.

So you created a fresh new PDS and you cannot federate with the main bluesky.social PDS?

Huh, first of all, thank you for testing it out and reporting in! Secondly, can you go into a bit more detail why the JWT does not work for viewing bluesky.social profiles? :blobcateyes:
