I’d be interested to know what “not optimized” means.

Is this something you can point yacy at?

Just checked my own sshd configs and I don’t use CBC in them. I’ve based the kex/cipher/Mac configs off of cipherlist.eu and the mozilla docs current standards. Guess it pays to never use default configs for sshd if it’s ever exposed to the Internet.

Edit: I read it wrong. It’s chacha20 OR CBC. I rely heavily on the former with none of the latter.

Each fediverse service is different. Matrix has it’s own webfinger configuration, as does diaspora, and mastodon. However, it looks like all ActivityPub services use the same webfinger configuration, which means that this method doesn’t work for donations trying to reference user@domain.tld for activitypub. I would presume that the first AP service you have listed in the response is going to be the account that each AP service will federate with.

Here’s a little bit about what I’m talking about:

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3563

You do it via a webfinger. But the service itself has to request a specific resource in order to route it correctly. For example, mastodon and pixelfed ask for the same resource, so both services will end up getting the same service’s account.

Hey all! We’re on some other useless for-profit, corporate social media too!

8 years is a long time and cancer can kill you in two, especially if you don’t have good doctors and they don’t catch that it metastasized already. Ask me how I know.

Facebook has groups, and unfortunately, that’s a pretty important feature. The car groups I belong to are hardcore track drivers and DIYers that share knowledge (problems and resolutions, alignment specs, tire and wheel experiences, custom parts, parts swaps, etc) and independent manufacturers who make stuff that isn’t otherwise easily available.

Until there is a solid replacement for that, I can’t get rid of Facebook proper.

I played a lot of Sierra games in the 80s. I grew away from computers for a while and at some point in the 90s, Sierra sold out. They were basically drug through the mud, canned all its devs and became a brand rather than a software company. Sierra was also the first publisher of Half Life.

I was reading the history of Sierra there other night on Wikipedia and was sad because so many great games came out of that company and most were memorable. Hard to see that in any gaming these days

Back to my point, I started thinking that Valve saw what happened to Sierra and Newell decided fairly early on that they would be a software company and publisher and not sell out to a third party or take the company into the market. Pure speculation on my part, but they got their start sort of at the end of life of a bunch of 80s software companies. EA is certainly a shadow of what it was but it’s still around at least as a brand.

There was a game called The Culling. The sequel was crap and it bombed immediately. The first one was excellent though.

I’ve considered this, but my branches don’t generally live longer than a week and there isn’t usually multiple engineers working on a codebase at once. Thankfully my team is smallish and the projects are either small maintenance items or greenfield. I’ll look into where we can leverage it though!

Oh gotcha! Yeah, git merge upstreamNane branchName is the right method. Just be aware that you might have a whole host of conflicts to resolve if there’s been a significant amount of time in your branch.

One thing I like doing is creating a feature branch, then branching off that for very specific feature work. Then I try to complete that feature quickly and merge that into my feature branch and keep that up to date every day with the updated branch it was forked from. That way, I’m never too far behind production changes and the merge conflicts are kept at a minimum.

You would never just merge into upstream. You need to make sure your fork is up to date and there are no code conflicts, then you create a pull request from your branch into the branch you would want to merge into. That information will probably be in the specific projects contribution document.

Rush 'n Attack. Get it? I was maybe 6 years old when I was dropping quarters into that bad boy.

Yeah, I feel like there needs to be a solution to this. Thankfully, artists don’t generally have hugely enormous catalogs that would take up terabytes of space (my entire collection is less than 400GB, which is many, many times larger than any single recording artists catalog, even the Beatles).

One rub I have with limited downloads is that memory of broken CDs. I bought a mobile app that is about $200 and they limit the number of times you can request are-download before you have to buy another license and I think it’s messed up. I’ve had to store that APK on multiple flash drives, off-site, etc.

An artist posting on LinkedIn is what inspired my post. But I suppose a for-profit private company is probably the solution to it.

Excellent link, thanks!

Yes! I was wondering how Funkwhale could be leveraged here.

Good question, I don’t know. I know I’ve seen people selling things in Mastodon but that’s been my extent of experience.

I would challenge your definition of streaming. I host all my own music and I stream it all the time via Airsonic-advanced (though it does get cached - and it’s constantly downloading new podcast episodes). For me it’s just the level of accessibility I consider as “streaming”.
