Little fun with fzf

@vishnu hardly surprising from Nintendo but I'm eagerly waiting for Alan B's response to these rather heavy allegations.

One of the better pictures I've taken lately #mastodog

All this Baseline Profiles talk finally motivated me to fix profile generation for Claw

@commonsguy Take care!

I've been playing so much Valorant the past month that the battlepass I used to finish 10 days before season end was complete 46 days in advance ☠️

@spaghetticode that's helpful, thanks for taking the time to respond! To add some more context, the app clones a Git repository from a user provided URL and performs sync operations every so often. An issue was filed some time ago (https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store/issues/1318) requesting the ability to clone the repository from a domain being served with a self-signed certificate, but I wasn't fully aware of the implications of allowing that so I've held off.

Hey @spaghetticode I think you might be the right person to ask: are there any glaring problems with accepting all user provided certificates for HTTPS connections like so: https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store/commit/f7766bc67aa3aa808bd40fac13dcdae5126017ed ?
My app does not have a backend of its own to connect to, and all network calls are either to Sentry or a user-provided Git repository URL.

Having a way to consistently replicate my development environment on any Linux machine without sacrificing the ability to pick apart individual tools is basically a superpower.

I love that I can do things like this with Nix

#TIL Telegram sends entity offsets based on the UTF-16 encoding of the message text. My bot so far ran with the assumption that the offsets were for UTF-8, which finally broke today when someone used emojis in a message with URLs and triggered a crash.

Thankfully the fix was pretty straightforward https://msfjarvis.dev/g/walls-bot-rs/5f87ebf923d1

@yasmineevjen @Tusky Finally a home screen of only themed icons!

@cecton@hachyderm.io you weren't rude at all, I understand the frustration completely :)

@cecton@hachyderm.io Yeah this is irritating, but thankfully there's a fairly easy way to disable it for all devices https://www.howtogeek.com/735152/how-to-turn-off-the-sign-in-with-google-prompt-on-websites/

Hey Google, there's a difference between 3% and a third.

@drewinthedark @shanselman I just quit my job to take a mental health break and had these exact same worries for when I was ready again.

It is scary that a lot of giants are cutting workforce massively, but you'll find less doom and gloom within the small and medium sized enterprise space.

A common pattern among those doing layoffs is them overhiring for a future that wasn't meant to be, such as Meta losing ad revenue and Stripe/Shopify's pandemic growth spurt slowing down.

You'll be fine!

@matthewp That's correct. I think it makes more sense to think of this as a vanity or 'short' URL pointing to the real resource, which is your instance identity.

@tkuenneth@snapp.social That's lovely to hear! Hope she makes a smooth and quick recovery <3

Also check out their post https://blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2022/11/05/mastodon-own-donain-without-hosting-server.html

Inspired by @maartenballiauw, I've set up an overengineered solution to having a Mastodon identity on my domain without needing to self-host Mastodon itself

I am rooting for C9 White so the game 1 win is great but this was too one-sided to be enjoyable lol

Valorant Game Changers is live, super hyped to see the female squads on an international stage!

A beta of Kotlin 1.8 is now available!

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.8.0-Beta

#kotlin #AndroidDev

Had a weird nightmare that I had exams again but I lost my admit card and couldn't secure a duplicate in time.

Why brain, why.

@sasikanth I need an insider build as soon as this is usable 🫡

Having used the rather hefty Pixel 7 for the past couple weeks my Pixel 4a now feels like a toy lol

Back to the regularly scheduled Ellie posting

#Dogs

First day of my sabbatical and I've already spent six hours straight playing Valorant 🙃

This seems aspirational

@drew GitHub's macOS runners have been atrociously slow, at least for the past few weeks. Running the same task on Ubuntu/Win/Mac always ends in that order in terms of speed.

@lehtimaeki @seb It's a screenshot of Seb's own profile (his username is in the toolbar) so I don't think it's faked.

Feels good that most of the work I'm doing now with Password Store involves writing tests to verify that older bugs no longer exist :D

https://msfjarvis.dev/aps/pr/2237

@colintheshots No clue, hopefully they'll answer the question sometime https://github.com/community/community/discussions/6248

@colintheshots I'm much happier about this one being gone, it generated so much noise with no non-instrusive way to suppress it.

Kotlin 1.7.21 seems to be out officially now

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.7.21

@seb That's amazing, congratulations!!

@darryl_bayliss Tusky on Android has been great for me and the development team seems a lot more open to external opinions than the official Mastodon client's.

@gossithedog the preview ruins the punchline but 10/10 execution regardless

@AdamConway how is your heart dealing with the Rio Major so far :blobSip:

@yasmineevjen When you migrate it might take some time to sync your followers depending on your previous instance's load, otherwise I am not aware of any explicit downsides.

That little blep :blobNom:

@botteaap @lehtimaeki the maintainer also has forked a bunch of AndroidX libraries to remove AppCompat from them because they think AppCompat is useless beyond API 21.

Finally taking the plunge and rebuilding my server on NixOS, no way this goes wrong right :thonk:

@dankim ❤️

@krossovochkin @friendlymike you can! Mastodon's official instructions here worked fine for me : https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

You'll need to create your account here first then initiate migration. mastodon.social is under a lot of stress so your followers will take some time to sync.

@friendlymike Nick Craver was in a similar situation and I think you might find some comfort in what he's said here

@cadey The main site has also been broken for me the past day. Their twimg CDN consistently returns a 504 when the web app tries to request additional JS bundles from it, which causes the website to keel over and die.

@sasikanth It's a start but what I was really looking for was some pre-existing hosted solution that I could target rather than deploying my own backend. Though I've realized it'd be easiest to do it myself and have started brushing up on Ktor.

I wish to add some form of synchronisation into my lobste.rs client (https://github.com/msfjarvis/compose-lobsters) but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.

What I need is to be able to have a per user list of links that I can perform basic CRUD operations against.

Anyone in #AndroidDev have suggestions on what I can use for the backend? Firebase seems like the obvious choice but I'd be interested in alternatives too.

@jossi Welcome! :androidJetpack:
