In-reply-to » @abucci Are you still with jmp.chat? If so, are you still as happy as you were before? Have you experienced any reliability issues, especially with receiving phone calls?

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yes, I’m still with jmp.chat, and still very happy with them overall. Their beta period ended and their pricing increased a bit, so that’s worth a bit of consideration. I also managed to get one of their eSIMs. I’m slightly less happy with that aspect of their service, though they seem to be actively working on improving it and I knew in advance this was an early beta kind of thing and likely to have issues.

The only unreliability with calls that I’ve noticed was traceable to the unreliability of my own internet connection. I’ve confused incoming calls by simultaneously making and taking calls from the computer and the phone, but I think it’s understandable that problems might arise and that’s not a real use case for me. Once or twice I did not receive a text transcription of a voice mail, but the support is usually quick to address things like that.

I host my own XMPP server and have for a good decade now, and that’s what I use with jmp.chat. I can’t speak to the quality of their hosting options.

Group texting works fine for me if one of the other parties initiates the group text. I haven’t tried to initiate my own group text in well over a year; last time I did, it didn’t work. That may or may not be a problem for you, and it may or may not have been fixed by now. Worth investigating more if it’s important. I should also say I’ve only ever used group texts with 3 participants, and can’t speak to what happens if there are more nor whether there are upper limits.

Group texts don’t use MUC. Rather, they use a special syntax in the JID, something like “+1XXX,+1YYY,…,+1ZZZ@cheogram.com”, where the + and , are required, the XXX, YYY, through ZZZ are the phone numbers (no dashes or other special chars just digits), and the @cheogram.com at the end is required.

I recommend the cheogram app if you’re on android. It has a lot of nice features on top of the Conversations base. I use gajim on my (linux) computer and it works well with jmp.chat.

I’m happy to answer other questions if you have them!

In-reply-to » @eapl.me QR code printed on paper?

Not a bad option, although now we need a phone with camera, a printer, a QR reader app, to name a few…
And don’t let get started with usability issues of QR codes (like restaurant menus)

My idea is to make it easy to backup keys with pen and paper 🖋 📄 without copying the hexadecimal string which is prone to error 👀

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 aha, thank you, that got me unjammed.

Turns out I thought I had an SSH key set up in github, but github didn’t agree with me. So, I re-added the key.

I also had to modify the command slightly to:

ssh -p 2222 -i PRIVATE_GITHUB_KEY GITHUB_USERNAME@cas.run help

since I generate app-specific keypairs and need to specify that for ssh and I haven’t configured it to magically choose the key so I have to specify it in the command line.

Anyhow, that did it. Thanks!

I’m using rss on a terminal (Termux) in my phone, it’s more confortable read there articles and other stuff, but for posting on twtxt, I tried , I swear it, but it’s too much, it’s not practical, I have to assume that it’s better in a website/app like this.

Yarn wins!

In-reply-to » @lyse flawed is the right word, no harsh at all. Good reading, and thanks for supporting the possibility of convincing @prologic to switch to a database! :-D :-P

Like, check it out. That link to DRY? It doesn’t render as a link in the webapp. However, it does render as a link, and works fine, in Goryon. I’ve seen before that Markdown tables render fine in Goryon but not in the webapp. They ought to behave as similarly as possible, right? So just in this small interaction there are three discrepancies between how the mobile app and webapp render Markdown.

In-reply-to » @prologic @movq this is the default behavior of pass on my machine:

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci So.. The issue is that its showing the password by default? Would making an alias to always include the -c help? We can probably engage Jason with a PR to enable a more hardened approach when desired. I’ve spoken to him before and is generally a pretty open to ideas.

I found this app that was created by the gopass author that does copy by default and has a tui or GUI mode https://github.com/cortex/ripasso

In-reply-to » Why, oh why, does YouTube include upcoming videos in RSS feeds? “This video premiers in 21 hours.” Oohhhhhhkay. I will long have forgotten about it by then, thank you very much.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org As far as I know, they’re still visible in the Web UI. Although, in the mobile app and youtube.com, I believe it tells you that the video isn’t available without having to click on it. They don’t tell you that in the RSS feed, and I agree; it gets annoying.

If we had a custom feed generator that hooks directly into the YouTube API, I’ll bet we could find that information and put “[Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled][Scheduled]” in the title for premieres and remove it when the video is available.

In-reply-to » Tutorial: Getting started with generics - The Go Programming Language -- Okay @xuu I quite like Go's generics now 🤣 After going through this myself I like the semantics and the syntax. I'm glad they did a lot of work on this to keep it simple to both understand and use (just like the rest of Go) 👌 Media #GoLang #Generics

@prologic@twtxt.net see where its used maybe that can help.
https://github.com/sour-is/ev/blob/main/app/peerfinder/http.go#L153

This is an upsert. So I pass a streamID which is like a globally unique id for the object. And then see how the type of the parameter in the function is used to infer the generic type. In the function it will create a new *Info and populate it from the datastore to pass to the function. The func will do its modifications and if it returns a nil error it will commit the changes.

The PA type contract ensures that the type fulfills the Aggregate interface and is a pointer to type at compile time.
