@darch π₯Ί Thanks for sharing. :( RIP Aaron.
The Point Program for Public Thinking: a great student program announced **today** by _The Point_ magazine: "[It] aims to cultivate habits of thought traditionally associated with liberal arts education... treating opposing opinions with humility rather than with hostility; reading generously rather than suspiciously..."
@xuu Dang. I'd imagine a few threat models out there miss that avenue.
@eaplmx I'm well on from you, and while it's a _relatively_ recent development, I'm happy to say that these years are hands down the best of my life (to date). The downside for you is that it's largely blind luck that's landed me here. :P Best I can do is to suggest that you never stop listening, never stop learning. :)
Forgot how much I missed Canadian friendliness. π₯°π¨π¦ Helped that I was in a couple of the friendliest place around: Newfoundland and Cape Breton! β€οΈ
The kicker was, I got almost all the services back up, and then decided to run a system update on my other RPi, which happens to host the databases of many nfld.uk services. Well, wasn't one of the packages built incorrectly? I'm still troubleshooting -- between work and jetlag -- but I think a PostgreSQL package was built for the wrong architecture, or some such; got illegal instruction shortly after the update, and now the RPi won't boot. D:
@akoizumi Thanks! @prologic, I came back to a few problems across the services I run -- many of which are still down, in fact -- but my pod outage seems to have coincided with a service outage at my ISP; both h/w and s/w remain untouched right now.
@prologic I was on holiday; my pod missed me, I guess. ;)
@prologic Yeah, they hit my pod too; not really sure what to do about it, tbh. :/
Upgrade complete. \\o/ Minor issue with smtpd, but quickly sorted.
Indeed, @movq! @prologic, it's one of many IRCNow 'team' servers, primarily serving IRC (and bouncers)... And yarn.social? π€
Working on upgrading to OpenBSD 7.1; on nastycode.com, not this pod! ;)
Ha. I think they registered on my pod too. :)
@novaburst Didn't realise @prologic forked it! (Or, didn't remember, as I do seem to recall him contributing to the project.) So, yeah, the original (for now!). Is it performing OK for you?
Can't... not... visit... ;-)
Getting addicted to these now... :-)
Well, my very conservative, traditional friend in another community came out hardly anything right of centre; and mid Y-axis. Seems off.
Yeah, I think it has a left-leaning bias, judging from half a dozen other results amongst mates. A propaganda / disinformation tool, maybe? H'm... ;-)
TIL that, according to one test at least, I'm not as centre as I thought I was!
@prologic Ha. That wasn't a dig, I promise! ;-)
@ullarah One wonders why they didn't just go for the full garter belt...
@adi Ah, apologies; I did, indeed, miss it. And mentions are still flaky, for me. Just transferred some funds, and I'll definitely check out those scripts! :-)
@sanda Hi! Welcome to the pod! ^x^
@tel Thanks! Love this place. :-) <3
@prologic Cool. I'll look at setting it up shortly then. :-)
@mutefall Ha ha. Nice! Recycling takes its toll, I guess. ;-)
@mutefall Cheers. Yeah, just keep shuddering at the thought of getting hit with this cold. My wife has a cousin who hasn't had any sort of Covid vaccine. :-/
@news Ah, gotcha. Should I stop advertising it for now, then?
Finally brought low by Covid. Rugrat's been pretty much giggling and laughing non-stop with it, and then there's me: half the day in bed yesterday, bangin' headache...
@prologic We need more accessibility consultants in software design. Man, that just isn't good enough. >.<
@adi Oh, that looks _very_ nice. Ta!
@carsten Nice one! I need to lose some weight; pandemic has **not** been good for me in that regard.
@prologic Yeah, it's the favicon for their Mastodon instance, toot.wales. :-)
I know we're moving the branding away from twtxt and twts, but I had to share this. Presumably it's the Welsh for toot (Mastodon's version of a tweet). 
@ullarah Yeah, +1 for sure: looks amazing!
@ullarah Yeah, +1 for sure: looks amazing!
Ah, @prologic, I've been going through the settings on this account, and realised I was following an account called me pointing at the non-TLS address of my feed. I haven't had problems with my avatar in quite some time, but I unfollowed that one anyway. I was also following my support account twice, which, unsurprisingly, was resulting in duplicate posts in my timeline. :-) That's cleared up too now.
That just leaves my Mentions tab, I guess, for outstanding issues; not a big deal. Really chuffed with the progress that's been made in the last year; looks amazing!
Oh my. This main branch is the gift that keeps on giving; gorgeous work, folks. Really enjoying this 'code freeze'. ;-)
What did I miss? Has he stopped posting?
@novaburst Pretty sure he stuck with Dendrite, yeah.
@prologic Ha. Aren't you supposed to be sleeping? ;-)
That didn't show up in my mentions, btw. :-(
So... How can I see whether websub is working? :-)
@rebelljoe That is... incredibly disappointing. :-(
@ullarah Oh, wow! Sweet! I shall have a look then. :-)
Ah, OK. Thanks, @carsten, but I think I'd prefer to have the CSS accommodate the current size, as I like the way it looks right now. @ullarah, just so I'm clear, that involves copying the current theming directory structure, making that change, pointing the daemon to the new theme (or updating it in pod mgmt), and then backing up that theme in some fashion, so I can replace it each time I update the code base; is that correct?
I guess I need to change my pod logo... 
Oh, interesting. Jack Baty probably would've weighed in on that, were he still here; he still posts in the Fediverse.
@jdtron So far, so good, yup! As you imply, coffee always helps with that. ;-)
Ha ha. Well, in spite of that observation, I'm very well, thanks! :-)
Oh, interesting software; π thanks! π
@adi Interesting thread. Thanks!
@david I've been talking with someone on Matrix about this. I've missed some important nuance by not watching the trial, I now feel. Your comments are very much on point.
Unbelievable. Or, rather, I wish it was.
@prologic Thanks! :-) I think you're probably right, particularly given that it's the old naming convention, to start with!
@adi I did miss it, sorry! Hoping I won't, in the future, now that I've realised mentions are working. Anyway, there ya go! :-)
Ah, it didn't expand to include the domain; that might be why. 
@prologic Holy cow! They work now! When did that happen? I stopped looking at this tab ages ago, 'cause it was always empty. H'm, but, hang on, I think @adi messaged me yesterday, and I don't see that. Maybe he did something different... Need to investigate now...
@david True. π Mentions don't work on my pod anyway, so it's more of a thought that counts sort of thing. π
@novaburst Ah, OK. Which network? Just used to seeing your XMPP chat bridged to Matrix. :-)
@support Welcome! π Really happy to have you here, even if it's just as a brief reprieve from XMPP. π
@prologic
> One of the most striking features of the French Climate Citizensβ Assembly is that it was initiated by the Gilets Citoyens, a civil society collective bringing together the Gilets Jaunes and climate activists. Unlikely bed fellows, but united in their desire to transfer power from politicians to people. The Pew Research also found that giving power to people instead of politicians was popular across the ideological spectrum.
>
> We are in my view about 30 years into the third great democratic struggle. The first was for universal suffrage, the right for all adults to vote; the second was civil rights; and the third is the right for citizens to make policy themselves. Each of these struggles is ongoing. Universal suffrage campaigns were initiated in the mid 1800s and took around 60 years to come to fruition; there are now powerful arguments being made, notably by David Runciman, for allowing children to vote. The civil rights movement is clearly still in full swing, as the George Floyd protests of 2020 bear testimony. And I believe the movement pushing for Citizensβ Assemblies as a fix to everything from air quality to social care is simply a proxy for the third great democratic struggle to give people, not politicians, the right to make decisions.
@david Pleroma is very sad; not sure why right now. It's offline until I can find time to investigate.
@prologic Oh, watch out! He's sharp-tongued, this one! ;-D
@prologic yeah, that'd be neat. There was a cool ^C Club IRC bot that would store your location (roughly) and pong your local weather on command. Great conversation starter, as it was (is) an international club.
@prologic How are you monitoring peer-calls? I saw that you were promising a PR (or more?) on their Issues forum, :-) but that looked deployment related. I've got it serving metrics, but I don't see any related Grafana dashboards on community site; thinking about creating one, unless you've been down that road already. :-) cc @o11y
@david Apologies if you've noticed Pleroma wobbling lately. Seems I might be in the market for a new external hard disk / solid state drive.
@david Where's the nearest hospital? ;-)
@david Also Β£0. I thought they had loads of funding.
To clarify, I donate to lots of other projects. :-)
OK, looks like it's working now. I had to make an adjustment, as wdiff prints the separator regardless of whether there are changes.
Awesome! Gonna try to get around to apply this one today...
@adi Nice! I actually incorporated some of that in my nfld_uk repo on GitHub, but yours is clearly superior! Thanks! π
This site was linked in the off-topic chat of the whole UK Extinction Rebellion (XR) Mattermost, where I went on to read: https://cat.org.uk/reflections-on-cop26/
I can't help feeling that "thanking people for travelling so far" and "feeling a bit overwhelmed by the heady experience of the conference" and "here's my selfie in front of cop26 signs" is part of the problem; just... not enough urgency, and... really low expectations.
Am I out of line?
@rebelljoe Welcome! We're still working on discovery with this platform; I'd recommend following the lead developer for the project @prologic to get a good flavour of the conversations going on. :-)
@david Oh, heck, yes. To be clear, @thecanine and I are far closer on this than I am with most of the people I just connected up today. But, boy, do I love connecting people!
@thecanine Why don't you tell me how you _really_ feel?
lol. Just messin' with you. I hate labour being a commodity; just more numbers on the books, up for crunching, with no thought to the lives being utterly destroyed in the process. That said, this person that was interviewed by Fox News, this subreddit, etc. is mostly a space to air rants, to sympathise, etc. It certainly isn't a movement, or a community; I even question whether it's an incubator, as an acquaintance put it the other day, likening it to Occupy.
Yeah, exactly that. Sorry for the delay: the administration front-end for Pleroma completely hides pending requests in the users panel; bizarre. There you were, as soon as I asked it to include pending approvals in the list; someone could've been waiting months! ;-)
@david Please do! Just put whatever in the Reason field or whatever it's called; it's just something to prevent loads of automated registrations.
