In-reply-to » The “Matrix Experiment”, i.e. running a Matrix server for our family, has failed completely and miserably. People don’t accept it. They attribute unrelated things to it, like “I can’t send messages to you, I don’t reach you! It doesn’t work!” Yes, you do, I get those messages, I just don’t reply quickly enough because I’m at work or simply doing something else.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de TBH I don’t like Matrix… It feels a bit messy, my conversations and servers I join tend to get mangled, some stuff tend to have some sub-stuff… etc. I don’t hate it though, because I know I may have been using it wrong.

But hey, have you ever tried Databag ? Your family might get a better user experience with this one.

In-reply-to » @eldersnake how many browsers are out there, that use a unique “engine”? There seems to be quite a few: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonofbrowser_engines. Sure, another one won’t hurt. Would I use it? Probably not. 😅

There is, also, a small controversy going around for something that should have been a small change, but that Kling (SerenityOS, and Ladybird creator) handled quite badly: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814.

Seemingly small things like this divide, and have the potential to harm a project.

In-reply-to » Can anyone recommend and/or vouch for a Chrome/browser extension that lets me write rewrite rules for arbitrary links on a page? e.g: s/(www\.)?youtube.com\/watch?v=([^?]+)/tubeproxy.mills.io/play/\1 for example? 🤔

Have not tried any of them, but some of these seem to fit the bill:

In-reply-to » Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours 😲

Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience.
As a matter of fact, and as long as I’m not doing any 3D work, I kind of don’t need gui applications as much as it feels like.

Even though, a couple of websites asked me to eff off because they need
JavaScript to work. Some others handed me a cold “402 Upgrade Required” client
error response… (LOL let’s not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things I’ve been meaning to
for quite some time but never got, mainly to because of my browsing
habits. I tend to open a lot of tabs, read some, get distracted then
open some more and down the rabbit hole (or shall I say tabs) I go.

All in all, it was quite a nice experience.
How nice? It was an “I’m dropping into a full TTY experience for another
24 hrs” kind of nice!

Although, I miss using a mouse already, but hey, I would have never
heard about gpm(8) otherwise.

In-reply-to » yarn should define its own federation protocol that extends the basic twtxt in ways that twtxt doesn't allow. it's time. and i've got ideas!

@shreyan@twtxt.net What do you mean when you say federation protocol?

I’m not sure we need much else. I would not even bother with encryption since other platforms does that better, and for me twtxt/yarn/timeline is for making things public

Feedback on why I didn’t choose Mattermost (lack of OIDC) · mattermost/mattermost · Discussion – My discussions/feedback on Mattermost’s decision to have certain useful and IMO should be standard features as paid-for features on a per-seat licensed basis. My primary argument is that if you offer a self-host(able) product and require additional features the free version does not have, you should not have to pay for a per-seat license for something you are footing the bill for in terms of Hardware/Compute and Maintenance/Support (havintg to operate it).

Today I’m reading about how to save a copy of your secret keys outside a computer, using analog media, or sharing it by voice. For instance, for TOTP authenticators.

I found BIP39 coming from the crypto-wallets world:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki

The user has to write down this passphrase

fragile mimic expect ketchup truth between thunder visit expose output powder derive process disagree razor
Which is carefully designed to be checksummed and it’s easy to say on a call

Finally deriving it into a set of bytes like

Do you know some alternatives not related to cryptocurrencies? 🤔

In-reply-to » My proof-of-concept Container as a Service (CAS or CaaS) is now up and running. If anyone wants to have a play? 🤔 There's still heaps to do, lots of "features" missing, but you can run stuff at least 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t understand what you’re saying. podman works with TLS. It does not have the “–docker” siwtch so you have to remove that and use the exact replacement commands that were in that github comment.
