@movq TBH I don't like Matrix... It feels a bit messy, my conversations and servers I join tend to get mangled, some stuff tend to have some sub-stuff... etc. I don't hate it though, because I know I may have been using it wrong.

But hey, have you ever tried Databag ? Your family might get a better user experience with this one.

@johanbove Did they produce a new season or you're just catching up with the old ones? It has been ages since the last time I've watched any of it.

@eldersnake That's actually awesome! Happy seeing the pace at which it's starting to pick up momentum as far as getting more eyes on the project, especially after the "Ladybird Browser Initiative" announcement, that surely got a lot more people talking.

I don't remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here's an article by Cloudflare "Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click" offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.

@bender Actually the video is a reaction to: HTMX Sucks that is originally an essay by Carson Gross (the creator) in the "The worse-is-better design philosophy" _and what not_ style. So No, it isn't ... or at least not in the sense one would get from such a title. πŸ˜„

Some(one/thing) is going Berserk at my web server and some of their requests are "GET /etc/shadow HTTP/1.1" and "GET /.ssh/id_ed25519 HTTP/1.1" ... I think they should try and POST some kind of sudo rm -rf /* while they're at it; it would be funnier.

I'm still _alive_ ! Here's a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:

- Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
- Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have _maybe_ fixed that) ... etc.
- Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I'll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net ✌
- Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was ... not for me to say the least.
- Started learning Emacs (I know, I'm in trouble LOL) and might even start twtin' from there instead.

... So it's gonna be either a:

- Find a way to do a Chroot install a la Chad Arch Linux way, on a portion of the disk space while I'm Ssh-ing in and then whip out the old debian installation if all goes well.
- or a YOLO automated/unattended install.

Either way, I'm ready to deal with the eff up! Because I've never done none of that before... πŸ˜‚
