This is a test post, please ignore :)

(#govyi7a) @prologic@twtxt.net ah, the way I read it it seemed you meant $450M/each. My bad! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

This is a test account, please ignore, my “real” feed is https://envs.net/~duriny/twtxt.txt

(#cqlxgxa) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net as we chatted on IRC, you will need to allow cloudfront.net on the “Allow domains” under pod management. In my pod I allow everything (.*).

(#fg6oyda) @prologic@twtxt.net Ex-Metamate!

(#govyi7a) @prologic@twtxt.net it is $450,000, not $450M. Still a seizable amount of money, but not on the same order of magnitude. Also, we can do both: worry about our own planet and resources, and people, and look to the stars. We wouldn’t be anywhere if we didn’t do many things at once. :-)

(#ugpi43a) @prologic@twtxt.net hmm, I don’t understand your twt asking “Anyone have any other details on this story from AWS with their EFS and sub-millisecond latencies? Apparently the story posted on /. was a dupe, but I can’t find the original one” then. The “story” was simply the blog post I linked you on IRC, nothing else. It was posted twice on Slashdot. This one, and this one.

(#3ghnaia) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net You’re dealing with UNIX guys with Go so small is better.

(#ulikega) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org very nice shot! I had to look up snowdrops, as I was not familiar with the plant. They look lovely, do they have a nice fragrance? For this picture I would have removed the leave at the top left, and the one in the middle, in between them. I know purists will say that’s editing, and tampering with the order of nature. I’d reply that’s artistic freedom. :-) As I said, lovely nevertheless.

What an amazing read! Some more here and here. A few movies could come out of this, easily. Books too. It relates to BitCoin, the alleged death of crytocurrency exchange founder, missing money, intrigue, and more.

(#nao3qwa) If you have an iPhone 6/6 Plus, you now own a vintage item. Preserve it in good state, and you might have some money say, 50-60 years from now? Or pass it to your kids, for increased value!

(#tgdrf4a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net it is an upsetting case, and one it could be easier to solve should Kamila be simply disqualified—which, based on findings, she should. But as she is not yet, and is being allowed to compete, and the final ruling on her doping case will drag for weeks, you don’t want her winning gold medal now, to later be known someone else is actually the gold winner, and having to swap medals, etc. She is the favourite to win, by the way.

With all facts found, she should be disqualified. End of story.

I find it interesting that there hasn’t been a dispute between Apple and Alphabet when it comes the use of the word Messages. Apple Messages (named Messages) saw light in 2007, while Google Messages (also named Messages) saw light in 2014. They both have similar function, but are exclusive to the OS they run on. I think that is the reason Google Messages might never show on the App Store (though it would give Alphabet the upper hand if it were to be).

I understand there is Apple Maps and Google Maps too, which is also puzzling. On this one Google was first.

(#woluboq) mumble, mumble, tell you in a few days?

(#woluboq) sssssshhhhh :D no-one needs to know about that !

thou, i got here, because LinkedIn pushed a certain SRE job in my face, which reminded me that i wanted to work with you, but … again, the timing is not quite right

(#r5m3zxq) @mckinley@twtxt.net I get it; the “big, fake media” is the bad one (with the exception of Fox and OAN, and any other alike), and outfits like Joe have genuine conversations.

(#hcb6y6q) @prologic@twtxt.net my cat was admitted to hospital last night before I posted that, she didn’t make it

This morning Kaja’s condition deteriorated and by about 6h they weren’t able to recussitate her. I already miss the huge personality from such a small creature

(#nk7dcwq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net so, no more mkws, or still using it? I mean, for what you have, which it can be done by hand within one minute or two, I don’t think you need a generator of any kind at this stage.

(#woluboq) HAHAHA, that would be nice!

Yeah, you might remember me from things like linkedin, the interwebs, something computery, and stuff :D

(#ljiyq3q) All of it! this internet thing for example - we make a site, and it only works, because we get other people to go there, and they get others, and so on!

(#5rmxslq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de very nice, thanks for the details (bookmarked now, because you know, my memory ain’t what it used to be, LOL). About buying a DSLR again you will not have to worry much, they are on their way out. Mirrorless are their replacement.

#TIL setting an interface{} to (*int)(nil) means it’s nil but it won’t equal nil. Which is handy.

(#r5m3zxq) @prologic@twtxt.net we are not talking about “big business” or “corporate propaganda”, unless you consider Joe that. Joe has misinformed. Joe has hosted people who seek to misinform, and spread misinformation and lies. Joe has engaged in “propaganda and lies”. He has encouraged it, either because he truly aligns to them, or for profit; either way the end result is damaging and bad. Boycotts have existed since I have memory; some have worked, some haven’t. The tubes has simply made it easier to boycott someone/something.

The problem goes beyond Joe, and COVID. There are people doing harm, and trying to do harm, each day (including politics, environment, finances, religions, you name it!). Their message of hate, and harm gets amplified by the internet, and gullible people eats it. Weak minded believes it. Each of us gets to decide. Each of us bears the responsibility.

(#r5m3zxq) @prologic@twtxt.net would you call disallowing access to Facebook, or Snapchat, to your children censorship? Would you call not aligning yourself to Neonazis censorship? Wouldn’t you agree that stopping people spreading misinformation—misinformation with the potential to kill many, or cause harm—is worth “censoring”? There are things to which you simply put a stop. Some people and/or their ideas are not up for debate. Do you think any amount of debate will make your old man stop believing on his religion?

(#r5m3zxq) @prologic@twtxt.net because I really can’t bare to listen, and I understand he is a comedian, is he truly defending Joe, or sarcastically pretending to do it, or what? Again, I can’t handle this type of comedy, but I am curious about you linking it.

(#7cvdjza) @prologic@twtxt.net 🥳😊, and yes, Little Snitch runs fine on Apple Silicon hardware, no need for Rosetta 2. Back to the ContentFilterExclusionList, more from Objective Development, the makers of Little Snitch, amongst others.

(#7cvdjza) @prologic@twtxt.net @carsten@yarn.zn80.net, you guys are living in the past. First, Big Sur was superseded by Monterrey, and second, that “surveillance” was removed a little over a year ago.

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net It looks cute tho!

Slightly more tricky today - hint: PRECEDENCE

(#oa26lga) @movq@www.uninformativ.de that is an spectacular photo, mate! Certainly a keeper. What’s your rig? Always curious to know about what others are using on a daily bases, because I mostly use my phone.

(#bgxj5dq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org nice click! Though the pictures are nice, on this twt is the rest of the story what gives the punch. It sounds like that road would be a cop’s paradise. If it were here, a cop would be staking it at least once a week, and writing all the monthly citations on that one sweet spot. 😂

A 20km hike is awesome exercise! Which reminds me that I need it get back to running. 😬

(#7cvdjza) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Little Snitch is more than just a firewall, and does more than pfSense. Have a read here and there.

(#547xbhq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net it varies in the States. Where I live, in neighbourhoods it is 40km/hour. Inner city roads is 70km/hour and highways is 113km/hour. In all places, a posted speed sign overwrites.

Almost everyone violates. Not me, unless my abiding the law causes traffic issues, or could cause accidents. Then I violate the law as well.

(#cot3d5q) @xuu@txt.sour.is, “the longest running Wordle player in the world”. 1000 years from now paintings will be found in a remote cave representing square blocks with shades, fully filled, and empty. All signed with a cryptic “xuu”. 😆

(#vbzg7ja) @prologic@twtxt.net I use zero websites using IndieAuth; other that having a Yarn pub becoming an IDP, is there something else to this? Just looking to know what advantages it brings, and how I could make use of them.

(#wwaavha) @prologic@twtxt.net again, it is only worth it—and the right thing to do—if you are not the only user. If someone else uses the machines at home, then yes, a family share is the only way viable for you. It is not about ownership, it is about single user versus multi.

(#wwaavha) @prologic@twtxt.net yes, I did. Keep in mind that with a single user license you can install on every machine you yourself use. Originally I had a single user license and used it in my personal machine, as well as on work’s.

(#uomoupq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net good night, mate, and happy Sunday! One more day, and then back to the hammer. 😂

(#xtz5lkq) @prologic@twtxt.net what makes a repo worthwhile? Even the least seemingly important, or interesting, might have some use, sometime, somewhere.

If the history of mankind relied on self hosting, we would have no history. Or a very incomplete one.

(#yadfata) @prologic@twtxt.net the Australian government has all your information, right? Every possible PII of you they have. They have your fingerprints, and other minutiae. Doctors have much information too. Banks and credit cards companies have your purchasing history, and financial power. Credit bureaus—I asume Australia has those too—have a trove on information about you as well. And so on and so forth.

Considering that all those are, allegedly, worse than Apple at keeping your information secure, and private, what’s the problem with iCloud?

TIL that every Mexican citizen can obtain a private and public key which they can use to handle all government bureaucratic affairs (such as taxes, passport, university diplomas, etc.), without the need of lengthy waits, nor paper communications via postal mail.

That, on its own, is 100 years ahead of the way we do things in the US.

(#psv2pwa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I would be curious to know how many people visit that gopher page. I sure can’t! Why not HTTP?

“It doesn’t open” — said partner, while unsuccessfully trying to open a meatball container. “If Aladdin would have said the same thing at the cave’s mouth, he wouldn’t have found riches, nor the magical lamp, nor we had had an amazing story to listen” — I replied, opening the container whilst saying out loud “Open sesame!”

(#wwaavha) @carsten@yarnd.orbsmart.synology.me yes, that one. I linked to the makers page because they have other interesting products. I understand most of them are widely known by macOS users.

(#xtz5lkq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I meant odds are one own self hosting will not last as long as GitHub. Many factors might influence the impermanence of self-hosting. Now, as with everything, there might be exceptions (you may consider yourself one, for example).
