↳ In-reply-to » Wow, phishing is just around the corner 👀

@eapl.me@eapl.me Interesting! Two points stood right out to me:

  1. Why the hell are e-mail newsletters considered a valid option in the first place? Just offer an Atom feed and be done with it! Especially for a blog of this very type. This doesn’t even involve a third party service. Although, in addition he also links to Feedburner, what the fuck!? No e-mail address or the like is needed and subject to being disclosed.

  2. When these spam mailers want to prevent resubscribing, then for fuck’s sake, why don’t they use a hash of the e-mail address (I saw that in yarnd) for that purpose? Storing the e-mail address in clear text after unsubscribing is illegal in my book.

US government’s attack on free speech, science, and research is causing a brain drain
How do you create a brain drain and lose your status as eminent destination for scientists and researchers? The United States seems to be sending out questionnaires to researchers at universities and research institutes outside of the United States, asking them about their political leanings. Dutch universities are strongly advising Dutch researches not to respond … ⌘ Read more

KDE developers show off SDDM replacement
KDE’s login manager, SDDM, has its share of problems, and as such, a number of KDE developers are working on replacement to fix many of these long-standing issues. So, what exactly is wrong with SDDM as it exists today? With SDDM, power management is reinvented from scratch with bespoke configuration. We can’t integrate with Plasma’s network management, power management, volume controls, or brightness controls without reinventing them in the desktop- … ⌘ Read more

↳ In-reply-to » I think I should try self-hosting some Mastodon thingy again.

@prologic@twtxt.net In all seriousness: Don’t worry, I’m not going to host some Fediverse thingy at the moment, probably never will. 😅

But I do use it quite a lot. Although, I don’t really use it as a social network (as in: following people). I follow some tags like #retrocomputing, which fills my timeline with interesting content. If there was a traditional web forum or mailing list or even a usenet group that covered this topic, I’d use that instead. But that’s all (mostly) dead by now. ☹️

↳ In-reply-to » I need to import my yarn cache. It's sitting at about 1.5G in registry format. That should make things interesting...

@xuu@txt.sour.is Wow, that’s a giant graveyard. In my new database I have 16,428 messages as of now. Archive feed support is not yet available, so it’s just the sum of all the 36 main feeds.

Google moves all Android development behind closed doors
Up until now, Google developed several components of Android out in the open, as part of AOSP, while developing everything else behind closed doors, only releasing the source code once the final new Android version was released. This meant that Google had to merge the two branches, which lead to problems and issues, so Google decided it’s now moving all development of Android behind closed doors. What will change is th … ⌘ Read more

↳ In-reply-to » Wait! What's going on?! 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Gemini has an answer for you:

This is a conversation thread from a twtxt network, detailing a user’s (movq) frustration with the Mastodon “export data” feature and their consideration of self-hosting a fediverse alternative. Here’s a summary:

  • movq’s initial issue:
    • movq is concerned about the volatility of their data on their current Mastodon instance due to a broken “export data” feature.
    • They contacted the admins, but the issue remains unresolved.
    • This led them to contemplate self-hosting.
  • Alternative fediverse software suggestions:
    • kat suggests gotosocial as a lightweight alternative to Mastodon.
    • movq agrees, and also mentions snac as a potential option.
  • movq’s change of heart:
    • movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
  • Resolution and compromise:
    • The Mastodon admins attribute the export failure to the size of movq’s account.
    • movq decides to set their Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after approximately 180 days to manage data size.
    • Movq also mentions that they use auto-expiring links on twtxt to reduce data storage.

↳ In-reply-to » The Mastodon admins say that it’s probably because of the size of my account (~600 MB), so the export process times out. And I understand that. Here on twtxt, I always use auto-expiring links when I post images or videos. It just gets too much data otherwise. I think I’ll just set my Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after ~180 days or something like that. Nobody cares about old posts anyway.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 600MiB is nothing. That instance must be running on a reduced power machine and, perhaps, has too many users. Have you considered starting afresh? That’s what I have done (when it comes to the Fediverse), four times! :-D

↳ In-reply-to » Thinking about adding a little “focus” feature to my window manager: It hides all but one window, no wallpaper, no bars.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net It already is a tiling window manager, but some windows can’t be tiled in a meaningful way. I admit that I’m mostly thinking about QEMU or Wine here: They run at a fixed size and can’t be tiled, but I still want to put them in “full screen” mode (i.e., hide anything else).
