@hrefna it would be neat if we posted data using canonicalized rdf. Feels like there could be easier schemes for parsing and transmitting it
Emotions, melancholy
I've been thinking about pre-transition me and what they were up to and the little ways they tried to peak out of their cage. The bursts of color under the performance of normalcy. I think they would be proud of where I am now.
Dreaming of IPv6 broadcast for decentralized application use cases. Feels like it's more likely we could bioengineer pigs to fly 😭
@jenn Oh wow did you do something with your hair? Absolutely glowing 💅💅

You know how when you rent a VPS or a shared server from a host somewhere, and they're all like, "We'll register your domain name too!" ?
It's a trap! :ackbar:
Don't do it.
If for any reason, your host's admin dashboard stops working and they decide to stop answering support tickets, you're kinda locked out of your domain name.
You can't transfer the domain out to an actually-breathing company without a blessing from your current host. Especially if the domain is locked.
Yes, technically you can complain to ICANN about your domain registrar, and maybe something will come of it (after waiting forever), but the trick is, with those hosting companies, they're usually not actually your domain registrar.
The hosting companies often outsource the domain registration process to another company (sorry, Mario) and often these subcontractors don't provide direct customer support. If you complain to your actual registrar, they'll just boot you back to the absentee host and you're back to where you started, waiting for support responses that will never come. Meanwhile, you're effectively locked out of making any DNS changes.
So, the moral of the story? Register your domain names from actual real domain registrars whose whole business is just domain names.
@jalcine mastodon and bluesky are neat as far as nerd stuff goes but I think folks just want their communities back after twitter went to shit. I don't think either platform is gonna make up for the years of community building that were lost. Hopefully new ones will form over time.

I'd happy trade in all my software statically bundling vulnerable binaries and bloating disk usage over the hell that is c++ library dependency management.
@skryking Hell yes. Listening now, ty.
@happyborg That's awesome! Do send me a link next time you come accros it.
I think for my terminal my goal is to make it minimal and easy to navigate along side the other apps I use on my desktop. If it's particularly fancy then I probably failed my design goals. :P
I'm also gonna add a text editor to it which is literally just a <textarea> with the contents. Then if I want any fancier editing I can open up the devtools and write code for it there.
Longer term it might be cool to integrate language models for auto complete in there
It's super janky so far but here's the code: https://github.com/RangerMauve/shell-cracker
Gonna add "command history" and opening multiple windows.
Also gonna wire up the agregore theme API to it for customization. :P
Sadly I am a munch better coder than this local AI. :/ Unsure of the commercial cloud ones are better than me or close enough to me to be useful.
