@bender Let's just optimize/fix those annoyances later on once I've finished pagination. Then I'll merge this branch into main.

@bender Hmmm I can't figure out how you did this 🤣

A #capa que me vem à mente para o #musiquinta desta semana já a partilhei por aqui no ano passado:
https://ciberlandia.pt/@marado/112008242857657770

Comprei este #EP de #GGGOLDDD (chamado #PTSD) sem me aperceber o quão fixe era a capa, e se calhar sem ter noção de que este disco ia tocar tanto quanto já tocou.

Para música a ilustrar o disco, pode ser esta (mas se gostarem, vale a pena ouvir o resto do disco!):

@aelaraji Cool! 😎
@bendereapl.me@eapl.me A few years ago or decades ago? 🤣
@bender Well done 👍
I _believe_ the bug has been fixed 🥳
@abucci Apologies, the basic summary is as follows:

- Decided to rewrite the cache backend.
- It will now be a SQLite backend going forward.
- I'm planning on no data migration.

#ptpol #debates #CDU #Livre #legislativas2025

Este 5º debate foi para mim bastante diferente no formato (não foi transmitido em canal aberto), e o meu comentário também aparece num formato ligeiramente diferente.

Foi também o debate mais calmo e civil de todos - e de repente o tempo deu para falar de muitas mais coisas, e aprofundar mais os temas, com exemplos de medidas concretas, etc..

A #CDU e o @LIVRE@LIVRE estão hoje mais alinhados/próximos que anteriormente, parece-me. Cada um com as suas medidas e prioridades, é certo, mas é natural que na generalidade um partido aprove as medidas propostas pelo outro.

A "frase" do debate para mim foi do Rui Tavares, ao dizer "Neste momento, quem ainda acredita na NATO?"

Onde verdadeiramente discordam é na questão da guerra, e aqui foi onde Tavares foi menos claro onde se posiciona - parece que concorda com tudo o que o PCP diz mas depois tira a conclusão oposta. Mas seja no programa ou noutros debates, terão oportunidade de se explicar melhor.

@kat Ouch. 🥴 Alright, that’s not so great then, sorry. 🫣🥴
Depois do comentário ao programa do PS quanto aos assuntos digitais, segue-se comentário ao do BE.

Isto é um bocado batota, porque o manifesto do BE para 2025 pode-se resumir à página onde diz "O mandato das deputadas e deputados do Bloco eleitos em março de 2024 foi interrompido pela crise política artificial provocada por Montenegro. O programa que apresentámos ao povo é o nosso mandato para a próxima legislatura.", e portanto a minha análise também é a mesma do ano passado.

O mau: o BE propõe um teste ao voto eletrónico à distância. É verdade que dizem que tem de ser software livre, participado por especialistas de segurança e tal, mas isso não transforma uma má ideia numa boa.

O bom: o resto - neutralidade da rede, software livre, protecção da liberdade de expressão, rejeição à censura, fim do DRM, #PublicMoneyPublicCode, ciência aberta.

@lyse Nice. I should catch up. Only walked 8km this month, so far. Oops.
I don’t need an X11 compositor for fancy graphics effects or whatever. I have true hardware support for that.

@bender @prologic Thanks mates!
oh out of boredom yesterday i made my blog available via markdown files too so you can use charmbracelet/glow to read them in your terminal :)

basically i just set up a file directory on a path of my blog, organized the MD files by year, and so in theory you can navigate to that path and choose a folder, then copy a link to a markdown post and run this:

glow -p https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/md/2025/2025-03-31%20premature%20reflections%20on%20sudden%20responsibility.md

and then as long as you have glow installed, you can read my posts from the terminal :D it's so cool
@kat these are my little SSH services by the way - a git server and then some fun stuff!
guys omg the people behind pico.sh are so nice ;_; one of the people running it emailed me to let me know i had what was likely a malfunctioning (or well, not working as intended) script that was spawning the same SSH tunnel over and over and they wanted to give me a heads up.

and i felt SO BAD because i worried i was straining their service or something so i disabled my 4 tunnels (they were serving little SSH games and services) and got back to them.

but i just woke up to THE NICEST EMAIL EVER reassuring me that i was actually using it as intended, it was just my script that was having problems, and they even said that if it was intended to work that way it was fine and they just wanted to let me know!

so i restarted the tunnels but have since added lockfiles as safeguards so that when the script is run it'll check if it's already running :D

@david yeah @movq and I discovered its a bug in lextwt last night 😢 We'll fix it as soon as @xuu can 🤣
@bender Beautiful cat 😍 What is his name?
@david Yeah, we’ve been debugging that a bit yesterday. Looks like the wrong input (sometimes) gets fed to the hash function → broken threads.
Anyway. this was a good use for search btw. I couldn't find my Twt, so I just quickly searched for it, snap, bingo I found it in a snap! 🫰
@movq completely off-topic, this conversation is so broken at twtxt.net! With this one, it's like the third one that has issues on Yarnd, but it is all fine for me on jenny.
@bender Oh fuck you're absolutely right!!! 🤣 I only posted this 13h ago 🤦‍♂️
ping? 🏓
@aelaraji Yeah I'm in the process of rewriting (_incrementally_) the cache storage backend. It's now been live for at least a week now and pagination and peering are the last things left to do 🤞
@david Ah, yes, the hardware might not. As I just said in the other thread: No problem, you can keep the same installation. I did so many times on my PC/laptop at work.
@javivf Oh, yes, looking at SMART is always a good idea. 😅 My SSD isn’t that old, though. It got replaced recently, tbh. But no need to reinstall, I just copy the files to a new disk. (Works just as fine when switching to an entire new machine.)
@bender Cute cat 🐱

Yes you were right. It was technically a failure. It is very difficult to reconcile the differences between a distributed network and one that's truly decentralized.

hello friends i spent a couple hours today using a random string generator by charm CLI called hotdiva2000 to make a script that 1) generates a static index.html page 2) the page is a prompt generator where all the prompts are from hotdiva2000!!!!!

@movq it might, but maybe the hardware will not? Unless, of course, it is a VM.

@kate @eldersnake @abucci -- I've already spoken to @xuu on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I'm working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (_which is now gone in the codebase in this branch_). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔
@lyse I _think_ we found a bug in the lextwt parser actually 😅
@lyse @movq I mean I have a camper trailer here out the front so we probably have plenty of room for a Yarn party in real life 🤣
@lyse Actually @kate it is just Profile (_top right_) and then Muted.
@lyse Also very nice! Mf favourite has to be this one 👌
@thecanine I mean I can restore whatever anyone likes, the problem is the last backup I took was 4 months ago 😭 So I decided to start over (_from scratch_). Just let me know what you want and I'll do it! I used the 4-month old backup to restore your account (_by hand_) and avatar at least 🤣
1) #saúde: #CH queixa-se que há muitos imigrantes, por culpa do #Livre. Então mas a saúde é para privatizar? Ficou tudo por resolver, mas há dias soluções - 1 é não ter saúde para imigrantes, 2 sim para a privatização porque isto está tudo mal e é culpa do Livre :eyeroll:. Já o @LIVRE@LIVRE diz que há soluções para melhorar o público (enumera) incluindo coisas que já foram feitas graças ao Livre. Mas privatizar não sem públicos estarem em pé de igualdade com os privados em termos de transparência.

2) (propostas de PS) #IVA 0 e #certificados de #aforro: CH diz que já propôs IVA 0 e PS votou contra. Livre que também já propôs os certificados de aforro a recém-nascidos continua a concordar com isso. CH diz que isso é mau porque é dar dinheiro para os imigrantes.

3) cenários pós-eleitorais e #governabilidade: Livre acha que é preciso notar que as eleições são para 230 deputados. Chega diz que ah e tal o Livre é candidato a ter deputados enquanto eu sou candidato a primeiro ministro.

4) #Trump: o CH continua a ser pró-Trump e quer fizer o mesmo em Portugal e Europa. O Livre obviamente não, e chama a Trump corrupção e desarranjo.

5) #Spinumviva: CH desconversa, L fala sobre medidas que defende contra corrupção e da necessidade de política séria

#debates #ptpol #legislativas2025 #PS #BE

Foi o terceiro debate.

1) #defesa: não precisamos de mais armas. Só que o PS acha que não se pode ir contra a opinião da Europa, por isso alinha no #rearm

2) #crise económica: estão mais ou menos alinhados e ambos têm medidas ao contrário da AD

3) #habitação / #rendas: PS quer mais construção, BE acha que isso não resolve os problemas de preço e oferta agora. PS diz que as medidas do BE podem não funcionar, BE diz que estão a funcionar na Holanda, PS diz que Porta 65 (que já existe) é melhor

4) BE quer declaração de interesses? BE diz sim, o princípio é bom ainda que a execução tenha sido má. A alternativa seria a via verde do PSD que só serve para criar máfias. PS está alinhado com o PSD nesta matéria.

5) PS governa se não ganhar às #eleições? Não (e Pedro Nuno Santos apela ao voto útil). BE responde a dizer que o que o PS está a pensar governar com o apoio do PSD, BE acha que o governo devia ter políticas de esquerda, e para isso tem de haver força na esquerda não-PS que leve o PS a governar com o apoio deles em vez.
