Feeling a strong urge to splurge on a Pixel Watch 4...

@JenJen ermahgerd happy birthday!!

@soatok seems about right, all the BlueSky users I know tell me that disabling the Discover feed is a necessity.

Watched the One Battle After Another movie yesterday and 24 hours later I'm still not sure if it was good or bad

@4censord Looks like it's https://discourse.nixos.org/t/a-statement-from-members-of-the-moderation-team/69828

Not every day you learn about something on the Fediverse from Tom Scott's newsletter, this is amazing!

Saw a rainbow at work today :)

@pakus I don't particularly understand how you would go to the GitHub org and not see the archived repository?

When I made the post about archiving the project I also offered the chance for someone to take up the project assets but nobody ever reached out. Even if I wanted to hand it over, I can't force someone to do it. If agrahn prefers having their project exist as a fork it is not my decision to make them use the upstream repository instead.

@pakus I'm not sure transferring the org has any demonstrable value anymore. The main repo being archived is a pretty clear signal and the website carries a note linking to agrahn's fork. There are other repositories in the org that still have utility and aren't directly tied to APS.

@azabost @mb @Aurimas you would also incur a build time penalty from AGP and R8 computing how much of those excessively huge dependencies they need to discard.

You can replicate a fraction of that cost for yourself right now by adding the Compose material-icons-extended dependency to your app and watching the release build times crater in the face of 35 megabytes of unused classes.

Finally cleared through the backlog accumulating in my #RSS feed reader, turns out it's not too much stuff if you just read it :P

Been a while since someone last spammed me with demands for my open source projects, great first thing to see in the morning for sure.

Looks like one of the #Forgejo bugs I reported has a fix in-flight already, excited for it to land. Already cherry-picked that to my instance and was able to verify that it works well.

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/9146

@mb @Aurimas more disk and network usage plus additional work at build time to throw most of it away seems like a terrible tradeoff for this.

TIL Oracle Cloud's default security rules do not enable port 80 and 443.

Brought to you by me spending way too much time on https://letsdebug.net wondering why Caddy couldn't provision a TLS certificate :))

With self-hosting getting more popular these days, here's a quick guide to integrating @tailscale with the Caddy webserver and have your services be hosted privately within your tailnet.

Someone discovered a long forgotten draft of this today so I figured I'd finally get this out :)

#selfhosting

@pakus https://passwordstore.app mentions a maintained fork but I don't keep up with the development so can't vouch for its quality or security.

@paul I wanted to capture how bad Google Play is and accidentally discovered peak SEO. Searching for "Reddit apps" gives me absolute garbage but "Reddit appz" is all actually useful results.

RIP to my server's 280 day uptime, but it really needed that reboot...

@skinnylatte I don't get the vinegar fascination either, I bought Tabasco one time because I kept hearing so much about it from American friends and it's just plain disgusting to me. Maybe it's just the Asian palate that doesn't agree with it 🤷

@stewemetal Have fun! I'm super excited for when Droidcon comes to India in December to visit my very first one :)

@cadey cheers, I'll drink to that ​

Finally cleaned up the draft of my misadventures in migrating from #gitea to #forgejo

https://msfjarvis.dev/posts/migrating-from-gitea-to-forgejo-the-long-way/

@wilfredh I personally update every weekend and use the unstable branch as well

Okay I decided to act on my urge to hack on #Forgejo and started a soft fork to test stuff out before sending it upstream

https://git.msfjarvis.dev/msfjarvis/forgejo

@freddy These are strays I see on the train stations I go to for my work commute. Happy birthday!

Now that I've started using my #Forgejo instance more frequently I keep running into small but disruptive UX differences from GitHub. I've filed a couple issues on Codeberg but at this point it might be more productive to just start fixing it myself and send in PRs because of how many individual things there are :thinkSpin:

@miah as long as it's an extension, probably never :/

I wish they'd just put the feature directly into the browser, it's so good.

Got super cheap IMAX tickets to watch Conjuring Last Rites next Friday, should be a great time

@svenjacobs it's already been possible via Google Play Protect, this whole thing seems exceedingly pointless.

Hey @ianlake, is there an official bug tracker component for the snapshots published at androidx.dev? It seems that every snapshot published after (and including this one) has been empty and doesn't contain any artifacts.

https://androidx.dev/snapshots/builds/13970464/artifacts

Awake at 3:23 AM, I will be regretting this at work.

Finally decided to hop aboard the single-sign-on train for my personal services. Authelia and Authentik felt too complex so I ended up on Pocket ID which is both significantly simpler by supporting only passkeys as well as more lightweight to run: https://pocket-id.org/

So far I've got my #Forgejo and #Miniflux servers migrated which went _mostly_ without a hitch. Next weekend I will probably tackle setting up LDAP!

@heyheymomo I will miss the silkposting

@dhry yeah that's the conclusion I arrived at as well, even on Logseq it felt like pulling teeth trying to manage tasks in the vault.

Based on a comment on lobste.rs I moved my to-do list from #Obsidian to a #Forgejo repo's issue tracker and now I'm left wondering why did I not think of this myself. It's got time tracking, I can access it everywhere, it has its own dedicated comment thread to jot down notes, it's perfect.

Haven't been posting for a while now but I finally decided scrolling other places has gotten less fun so I'm back to Masto :-)

@chirpbirb happy birthday!

@nnethercote sorry to hear that, hope you land someplace that deserves you soon! ❤️

TIL you can hide #malware in #DNS

@RikKoedoot George Orwell's 1984 is a classic, and I also like Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

@RikKoedoot Definitely! If dystopian settings are your thing this is very very good.

@jeff @sandofsky That's wrong, the native apps are built with the platform-native UI toolkits.

@elyes they just publish information about the registrar, you can see it in action for my domain on Porkbun: https://www.whois.com/whois/msfjarvis.dev

@elyes FWIW most domain registrars will mask your WHOIS information

I have managed to fuck up my #Windows install to the point where I can play games but not open the calculator, I'm certainly a generational talent. At least this gives me an excuse to do a clean reinstall and get rid of all the HP bloatware.

Good news: The NS switch worked out fine.
Bad news: I forgot that Netlify's integration for the domain used non-standard records that weren't in my DNSControl configuration so my homepage is broken :blobFacePalm:

I was having a great weekend so far so I've flipped the DNS nameservers on my personal website from #Netlify to #Porkbun, looking forward to the eventual hours of pain this will cause so I can have some spice to this otherwise chill vacation I'm on.

@jakehamilton Northernlion playing horse girl game was absolute cinema though

@mez I have Sveltia CMS hooked up to GitHub so I can write on the go and have it be saved to the GitHub repo
