@prologic Inspired by Indian road traffic. (I never used Discord and never will.)
I quickly looked into the starlit sky yesterday night before I went to bed. Bam, a shooting star came down. Great! :-) The first one this season. Should do this more often.
Why I don't like Discord: It makes "beeps" at you, you go and figure out who wanted your attention, but you can't ever figure that out. It's just "beeping" at you for no good reason 🤦♂️

@mckinley Yeah okay this is pretty interesting use-case. I'm sure we can make it work, the problem of course being IP space. And I didn't think of IP usage either, so in theory we'd have to figure out a valid and fair pricing model for that too right? 🤔

@mckinley Hmm
> Will it be possible to request specific ports like 5222 and 5269 for XMPP?
Can those use SNI? i.e: TLS + TCP load balancing?

It was 28°C when I left the house at 20:00 for a quick stroll. There was an eerie silence everywhere. A bit surprising, but I'm the last to complain about that. The whole residential area was filled with delicious smell of grilled meat. When I reached the end of town, it changed for freshly cut grass. Some clouds were backlit quite nicely. I came across two groups who were camping or partying in nature. Both times pleasantly quiet and good music penetrated my ears. Another positive surprise. I saw plenty of bats cruising over my head. On the way back I also encountered numerous frogs, well dark spots jumping across the paths in the darkness. Next time I go out this late, I definitely have to bring my torch to enjoy these amphibians. Or head out earlier.

@movq Schdemmd, ganz schee hoiß isch's. :-(
@prologic Yeah, shell is full of these very weird things, that just make no sense. You just have to memorize all these silly definitions. Standards were followed in my case, that's sure.
@lyse Lol, fair enough. 😅

@lyse I hate it when that happens. 😅 It's one of the worst aspects of shell programming MO. Often you run into stuff that just makes no sense, or standards aren't followed. Like you get shit™ on stdout that was suppose to go to stderr ffs 🤦♂️

Contrary to popular belief, burnout isn’t caused by a lack of work-life balance. It’s driven more by the lack of ability to do meaningful work. Why I Find Bullshit Work Intolerable | Hacker News

Wasted quite some time to figure out why [ "$actual" = "$expected" ] in my shell script did actually report inequality. Printing both variables with echo "'$expected'" and also piping them through sha1sum like echo -n "$expected" | sha1sum (even tried without the -n flag) clearly showed that they were the same. In the end, set -x saved my day. actual contained captured stdout of a process with proper newlines, but I had used expected="foo\\nbar", hence the comparison saw a literal backslash-n and no newline…

@movq @prologic Nice. I proabably also should go outside instead of sitting in my dark cave in front of the computer.
@movq Hmmm. Fingers crossed. Well, that's your punishment for watching too much YouTube instead of being in the woods. :-D

Good morning to you all! Just had the morning walk with the dog in the rain, it's raining pretty bad today, all day.
But that also means I have some time for my computer later today. I just have to figure out what to do first :)
Probably code a bit, or reinstall one of my computers, I've been wanting to run #OpenBSD again, I tried it on one of my laptops, but wifi did not work for some reason, but I have some wifi dongles - so I'll try with that, or install on one of my other laptops.
I have a #Thinkpad #x200 with #libreboot, I might give it a shot there - all though it takes some time to get it to work with libreboot, I did install it some years ago though, so I think that should work again now. Either way I'll figure out something to tinker with today!

@lyse Hm, I was going to say: “Mine is a Dell S2421H, how different can it be? Probably the same panel.” But then I saw that the U2412M even has a different resolution. 🥴
I wonder if this goes away during winter when the humidity drops … That’s my only hope. 😅

@eapl.me yarnd is centralised if you run a large instance with a large number of users.The design of the software itself discourages an operator from doing this, the more users you have, the more resources the pod would consume. It was never designed for this.
yarnd is however strictly decentralised, with _some_ distributed features that allow "peering pods" to talk to each other, often exchanging "missing Twts" among peers. This is useful to correct chains or fill in missing roots -- Because the whole "network" is decentralised. This is one of the downsides of a decentralised system, so we had to figure out a "middle ground".

@abucci Yeah thanks! 🙏 I _think_ I've read this very paper myself, the difference between centralisation, decentralisation and distributed systems are basically summed up in the figure:
