(#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 First, Big Sur was superseded by Monterrey, and second, that “surveillance” was removed a little over a year ago.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).

(#fyi2hvq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t handle that much bullshit, so after the second tweet on the thread I gave up. Nope, will pass on whatever he is taking. I will rather have a smoothie. 😂

(#vtleiwa) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com show me that meme generator, please. I have a few things I would love to put on that book cover! 😂

(#nzwskjq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net that’s a nice, good morning to wake up to! Clear skies, crispy cold… so nice. I woke up 30 minutes ago, it is a bit past eight now. Today is warm, at 16°C, and I ashamed of having overslept.

I wonder, do those vehicles have to make it out through that narrow passage? I can imagine the problem when everyone wants out at rush time.

(#mkup2ca) @prologic@twtxt.net You sure fixed the problem by hoping things turn around!

(#dp3ixba) @anth@a.9srv.net Google Voice will work fine. T-Mobile has a service called DIGITS that gives you a number you can set to do that too. But for free, Google Voice would work perfectly.

(#ozip7aq) @prologic@twtxt.net I use Micro Snitch to be warned on things like this. Unfortunately I can’t pick not to use Zoom as it is required for work.

Off the back of my previous post, I’ve put a bit more details in to this journal entry - https://redacted.id/031e38c5

Kaja is in a very bad state right now, the vet did a blood test (and she put a hole in my thumb as he took blood). Diabetes on top of kidney, liver, and pancreatic failure. I’m watching her try to drink water, she’s got the whole bed room to herself now

2022 and we are still invading others, and waging wars. We are a failed experiment that has lasted—using our own measure of time—way too long.

A message from a Syrian girl: “Flowers will bloom.” That is a message of hope from someone currently in living hell.

(#xtz5lkq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net I am sure your own Gitea install will not last as long as GitHub. Same applies to having your repositories on envs.net. But that aside. Is Mike centring all his complains on GitHub JS usage? Pfff! Dear lord. 😒

(#xfx73ba) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net that amount gets you a “fancy” Starbucks coffee here, so I think €7.50 is a fair price. Inflation is eating us alive here, sadly.

(#to7y4xa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org quite a few gems you got on that trek! I am on mobile now, but 25, and 26 stood out, and well as the one at dusk. It is hard to believe it was cold and snowy, as pretty much all the clicks gave me the feeling of warm, and peacefulness.

You know, even if I wanted I wouldn’t be able to show you nice places like those from here. To see something near to what you see I would have to jump in the car, and drive far. While it is true the saying “grass is always greener on the other side”, I wish I had the scenery you have, that’s for sure!

(#g2dtxya) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net yes, Apple’s long term support was a selling point to two of family member Android hold outs. That, and the lack of bloatware.

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Ok, you’re on the web site, thanks! Also fixed @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com’s web site link.

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Link to the page?

(#lkthniq) @prologic@twtxt.net it was scrumptious. The slightly softness of the cookie was enhanced by the crunchiness of the freckles, and the sweetness, and tastefulness of the fruit jam. I am sure it was heavenly to eat, especially after the savoury sandwich. 😊

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, it’s going on the web site, thanks!

He is very proud of all the users that use mkws 🤗

Not proud, but happy people enjoy it! 😁

it will be perfect also for generating Gemini pages as it is small and handy and fast

Yeah, people have been using it to generate both kind of web sites, WWW and Gemini.

(#xfx73ba) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net having been to Amsterdam I had to try a couple of the many, many Indonesian restaurants in town—it has to do with the Dutch atrocious colonial rule in Indonesia. The food was, in both cases, delicious! Plenty of little dishes, and they kept coming, on demand. Hope you enjoyed it!

(#57s4eeq) Meh. I will soon be using exclusively ARM processors. Let Intel get into this—potential—mess. It might end up being a good feature for those still on their platform, who knows.

(#57s4eeq) Oh, now your twt has the context. It took a little to pop. Reading.
