I hope forgejo’s federation efforts come along. Being able to host projects on my own instance, yet receive contributions without having to allow people to register on my instance, would give me the push to completely abandon Github.

How does it feel to have the objectively best sense of humor?

Some might say interconnecting everything could be a legitimate goal. Nonetheless, some people started to report about huge amounts of data and metadata being sent to Matrix central servers.

Curious that this claim is without source in the original.

I also have porblems with their claims about bridges. Bridges are Band-Aids to allow you to communicate with people not on Matrix, not a dark masterplan to build a central spionage hub.

By default, a homeserver trusts matrix.org in questions of federation and identity of other servers. You have to get that trust from somewhere. You are free to choose another source for that.

(For example, my homeserver isn’t federated at all, and has that trusted server removed; it doesn’t communicate with anyone. Also it’s not synapse, but that’s besides the point.)

Out of curiosity, where on this curve lies “20k lines of Nix config”? (Asking for a friend 👀)

That’s great.

Please beware that DNS over TLS is transport protection; the dns server itself of course still sees and knows everything.

I’m currently re-reading Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos, and something struck me. If this had been made into an HBO/… show, like, 8 years ago, it could have been a genre- and generation defining TV event akin to Game of Thrones.

But if it was to be produced today? It would be a cringe, plastic-feeling knock-off akin to Netflix’ Last Airbender.

Funny. I’m German, and in German it’s actually a rule that the word after the “:” must be capitalized. I always have to go back through my English writing and un-capitalize those words because I just can’t get used to not doing it.

Piefuckers

I’m lawful evil. It’s so great. I can keep my head straight instead of always having it turned.

Pffft. You just aren’t a Nix enjoyer yet.

I’m just going to leave this here: Wigner’s friend.

In Timelike Infinity, there’s a group following that logic through to its conclusion, committing a bit of terrorism on the galactic scale to make Ultimate Observer-senpai notice them from the end of time and the universe.

Batshit insane, 10/10, one of Baxter’s tamer plotlines.

I miss the Be Like Bill memes

Fühl ich, Bruder.

This is about as useful as the assholes going “It’s not Pedophilia, it’s Hebephilia!”.

Baby steps: I wish it was mandated that any software receiving even a penny in public funding must be open source down to the last byte.

You are probably half-joking, but… yeah.

I fucking hate this timeline. Actually, scratch that, that is way to placid and abstract.

I hate the assholes in charge. Fuck all of them. Luigi did nothing wrong.

My blood glucose monitor is not on the play store. So one dy next year I’ll wake up and no longer be able to get that data…?
