I wish my terminal was more like browser dev tools so I could see what files were being accessed and what network requests or syscalls were happening + ways of intercepting and modifying these things.

also! Hot take but the js console is easier to use than bash. 😅

not to sound like a huge communist but I don’t think millions of us should have to die hungry and in debt so a couple dudes with really really really big boats can have really really really really big boats

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

so far it has been removing files not linked to any posts and boy howdy there is a lot of them.

honestly where did these files even come from?

If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

Whoops, my single user instance with 150 gb of storage got filled up again. 🙃

Found this blog post for pruning data and it's helped.

*reading about zip bombs* oh wow that's a lot to unpack

@bstix @Provider I'm guessing a big part of it is that writing blog posts doesn't pay ad revenue these days. Also most text tutorials are drowned out by algospam and your content will probably get scraped and reposted with better SEO and worse ads the moment it's out. :/

Hey folks! We've published our first round of using and
Learn how to build your own development environment from scratch, or how to make a theme editor to customize the look and feel of Agregore and any compatible web apps.

@alcinnz @mauve Yeah honestly, it'd be great to see some alternatives to JS heavy web pages. It'd also be interesting to get more user theming into user agents similar to what we have for desktop environments.

Hey folks! I've done a writeup on the tools we'll be adding to the integration.

This is based on talking to folks on here and reading through discussions people have been having around this topic. We'll be using these tools for blogs we post at and will be improving them as we go.

@Rainer potentially our inbox server could be as lightweight as you can get, and then you can use literally any static site hosting thing if you don't want our p2p hosting 😁

@Rainer we're going to have a thing in in the next couple months for folks doing static site publishing and blogs. We have a jekyll plugin to generate AP data from your blog posts, and a thin "inbox server" that just shows you replies and follow requests and has blocklists/allowlists/manual approval.

K, I think Gaia is calling upon me to make some themed and or clients with custom user styling. 😈

@RecursiveElegance @sadiedoreen Yeah it might be good to fork off of the tor browser since they're already doing a lot of work in this area

@sadiedoreen Yeah also folks should make sure to have WebRTC and a bunch of other JS features disabled on their browser to avoid sites stealing your IP through other means.

Video formats should also be avoided since there's been ways to leak your IP from those circumstances as well.

Generally this doesn't matter as much for browsing regular websites. Mostly important if you're doing stuff that governments would want to track.
