1. @chirpbirb AFAIK his opinions have not improved since then :/

  2. I've finally started making progress on my #homelab, cleaning out my old PC and installing HDDs on it and it's the first time I've had only 3 disks in my primary desktop in years

  3. @neil @restic Restic is so good. I just yesterday set up Restic for my personal machine and reshared the guide I followed for it.

  4. @saket every time I see a Hacker News comment it is against my will and always unpleasant. Such a miserable bunch of people.

  5. I started redirecting #AI crawlers away based on their user agents and the 307s are now the bulk of my traffic. I sure do love the AI revolution

    A pie chart of the HTTP status codes returned by my web server in the past 24 hours. 78% of those are HTTP 307 permanent redirects that are being served to AI crawlers.
  6. @frog_reborn I've laid out as much of my position as I can, and don't really need everyone else to agree with me. It's been a pleasure talking, have a great rest of your day 🫰

  7. @frog_reborn if you don't see how navigating people to a specific instance and then later presenting donation options only on that instance are connected then we're not on the same page about this.

  8. @frog_reborn @nileane @megalodon A lot of people end up on mastodon.social only because the app guides them to it

  9. @frog_reborn @nileane @megalodon I'm not against them seeking funding, they deserve to be paid and I donate to them myself.

    The problem is quite simply of optics, where the team repeatedly makes changes to the apps to promote their flagship instance which for a lot of people defeats the point of the ecosystem being decentralised and federated.

  10. @nileane @megalodon I'm not against them seeking more donations, but I feel if they can add something for their own server then they can take the time to also make it available to the broader ecosystem. This shouldn't be the app for Mastodon GmbH the company, but for Mastodon the ecosystem.

  11. @nileane @megalodon the point of contention isn't asking for donations, but rather building such features only for mastodon.social. These could instead have been more generic additions to their API that could allow other servers to be able to offer similar options within the Mastodon app.

  12. @shinmera ah yes the two relationships, heterosexual and unserious.

  13. @jessewilson because the failing component here was a kernel module from CrowdStrike, the fault isolation is significantly harder on that layer.

  14. @david_chisnall the post date reads July 03 2024 for me, is that intentional?

  15. @chirpbirb truly the pinnacle of secure group communication, no wonder my ass is still stuck on Telegram.

  16. @chirpbirb I possibly get filtered news but it seems this is like a regular occurence with Matrix? Wonder how people with reliability requirements run Matrix chatrooms...

  17. @0xabad1dea Truly the best part of erstwhile Twitter. Meanwhile Mastodon's goofy ass federation: I see nothin 😶‍🌫️

  18. @britter Snaps are such a massive downgrade for basic user flows, I cannot fathom why Ubuntu is pushing for them so heavily.

  19. Content warning: NixOS Drama, DetSys, Lunduke, Transphobia

    @jakehamilton at this point is it even surprising

  20. @sandro AI scrapers are ignoring robots.txt files anyway so that particular problem is not solved by services bundling it, although I would definitely prefer not having to set up robots.txt manually for everything.

  21. Now that I've given a couple friends accounts on my RSS feed reader I'm feeling a little _too_ much sysadmin anxiety :blobUgh:

  22. @b0rk Ctrl-X + Ctrl-E to open it in $EDITOR. Might be a Bash-only thing?

  23. @funkyidol it's more than good enough for the 25 minutes a week it takes to keep up with it. The acting performances are great but the writing is rather predictable.

  24. #TheAcolyte is nothing special and I've mostly kept up with it because I like #StarWars but the discourse around it is just absurd.
