fun fact: if you have a laptop or desktop that has an intel cpu with "vPro" on the sticker there's a chance the management engine in your CPU is just hosting a web server at all times.

🆕 blog! “The Fediverse of Things”

One of the most frustrating things in modern technology is the effort spent trying to artificially restrict abundance. Take, for example, this tale from museum-worker Aaron Cope: I was out with a friend who worked for Twitter and I asked them whether it would be possible for the museum to “create 200,000 Twitter accounts, one […]

@yala Excellent ty I'll check them out. We're defs more in the "newsletter" side. Mostly I want to automate sending email notifs when wehave anew blog post on @dripline

@am@decept.org Yeah one of my coworkers is dealing with it right now. Quite a whiplash from before

What are folks using for subscribing to software? We basically want something to manage email signups which we can use with an API to send out emails to everyone. Ideally they should be able to unsub if they want. We'd want to be able to send either html or markdown via api.

Bonus points if the tool can subscript to an ActivityPub actor. :P

@fleeky Unsure about details. I am currently visiting upstate NY and everything is covered. Ottawa seems to be getting power outages and stuff

My favorite @agregore feature is the built in "Reader Mode" which makes it easier for me to read articles without all the random styling and page sizing assumptions websites add.

@vetehinen Yeah just found that after digging around too 😭 Why bother announcing that there's federation even if it's so locked down :L

K, I'm thinking of following some bluesky accounts via fed.brid.gy/

Anyone I'm already interacting with here wanna link me their bsky accounts so I can see more of their stuff?

Honestly reframing goals and problems has been one of these super powers for managing stress for myself

When the going gets tough change the concept of going.

@fleeky I have an "ultrawide" monitor so I place the "main thing" in the middle and more "reference" stuff in the corners. I make a lot of use of overlap and having multiple windows open (~12).

@fleeky I don't like tiling window managers. I like having a way to spatially organize stuff and they get in the way of that.

Eep. The default console in GNOME is taking up like 200 MB of ram for a single tab. The bloat Linux distros are okay with having in their core runtime is unfortunate. Might need to redo my OS yet again after spending all this time tinkering with it. 🤷

CL meta 

@evnnbd TBH I don't think I'd want to do any applications in CL still. I'm actually using JS for my transformer/tracing tool since it's fast and flexible and has a lot of libraries. I think the only thing I like about CL is how simple syntax is. 😅 If I was an emacs user I'd likely want to use lisp more. Likely in the future I'll be messing with Guile via spritely goblins though.

Strongly considering getting some pamphlets printed about the fediverse to hand out to folks since literally nobody (figuratively speaking) seems to know about it.
