@prologic do you have your own Headscale infrastructure up and running? If you do, any details you could write about? If not, why?
@prologic just hit home. Have driven over six hours today. And still need to mow! 😬😬😬
@prologic I didn’t heard about that. I just searched around, and people donated $4M worth of crypto to Trump, it seems. That could be more, or less.
That, though, doesn’t makes us complicated. It’s the whole lot of *everything else* that does. 😬
Complicated nation is an understatement.
@thecanine "Now you can finally use the fucking webapp." LOL. So glad I don't have to deal with all that!
@stigatle that's so cool! Wish family would let me buy a bike; they fear too much for my life to allow. LOL.
That bike is $8,000 here. Cheap, but not too cheap! The gear you are wearing (boots, gloves, pants and jackets, and helmets) aren't cheap here either! Fun hobby, nevertheless. :-) Enjoy, and ride with care!
@prologic that's how my face looked, for sure! 😅
Something that showed this morning, after clicking "Discover".
@prologic somebody is playing with a new toy.
@prologic people went to sleep? I mean, at 03:00 I am on my second, or third sleep. 😜
Oh, AEST! No idea, but it might have been @xuu. LOL.
@xuu wow, such a remote place, eh? I imagine you living somewhere in the Himalayas, driving to town once every couple of months to resupply.
Don’t get me wrong, it is attractive, until my Internets are threaten. Then all bets are off. 😂
@lyse lovely! I would have picked this one as a cover.
Bloody sunset
Xuu has shutdown his pod now, probably to avoid losing connectivity.
@xuu need a modem? I got a couple of 33.6K, and one 28.8K. :-P
@prologic nope, I see no images. If you go to Stig pod, it has all images broken.
@lyse they all showed fine right after posting. I can’t see them now. Not even Stig avatar shows on the home pod.
@abucci that’s so weird! I wonder what in the world is causing it. Hopefully @prologic has an insight.
@stigatle I am guilty of being silent myself. I have been more active on the Fediverse these days. Having a super easy to run ActivityPub server helps! :-)
welcome back!
@stigatle woah! You are gone for a while, but when you return, you truly bring some "goodies" with you! :-) Great clicks, mate, love them!

@prologic well...
> “And for that, we send our heartfelt thanks and apologies for the inconvenience,” the email read, according to a screenshot shared by the source. The same email was also posted on X by someone else. “To express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!”

With apology offers like these, who would remember? 🤣
@prologic that works fine when interacting with people you know--and they know you--well. On The Tubes it's easy to be misunderstood, or getting a tone other than the intended applied to your message. It easy devolves into a "plonkable" stage. 😅
@movq I do that constantly, on the Fediverse. I often type long replies, disagreeing, or agreeing with someone, read it over and over, just to realise there isn’t anything to gain by it, and scrape it.
Small extract:
> "Conceptually, Advanced Data Protection is simple: All CloudKit Service keys that were generated on device and later uploaded to the available-after-authentication iCloud Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in Apple data centers are deleted from those HSMs and instead kept entirely within the account’s iCloud Keychain protection domain. They are handled like the existing end-to-end encrypted service keys, which means Apple can no longer read or access these keys."
@prologic I was going to say, it could be a setting. I prefer infinite scrolling, but I know there is a strong movement against it. 😅
Another URL that breaks the parser. 😱
@prologic Messages are e2e encrypted. SMS/MMS are not, but that’s not Apple’s fault. You can configure it, so it doesn’t fall back to SMS/MMS if that’s what you want.
Apple isn’t implementing RCS because of Google (which, arguably, doesn’t even support it). 😂
@prologic less noise on the discover view, right?
@lyse not what you want. Instead of an infinite scrolling, it will render until a point, then give you a link to load the next batch. Rinse and repeat.
I tried Signal, and I didn't like it. I don't like the interface, I don't like one has to rely on a relatively small company infrastructure. It has bugs, and issues: sometimes messages will deliver, sometimes they will not.
Nothing has been more stable for me (as an Apple user, that is) than Messages. It comes with the OS, it is beautiful, and it just works.
@movq I think the fact we can see posts from it in here (twtxt.net) is odd. It means someone (withing this Yarn pod?) follows it, no?
I asked @prologic and got no answer, but I wonder if there is admin-only tool built-in on Yarn, that allows the admin to search which user(s) follow a certain feed (for moderation purposes, or otherwise).
I wonder who follows this one. Is there a way for a pod admin to know this, @prologic?
@movq I feel your pain like my own. No matter what I do, I am always outnumbered by the ignoramus in the family. It is like bashing one's head on a brick wall.

@lyse ah, 26°C! Not even overnight, nor early in the morning we get that cool! Full of envy mate. Full of envy.
@prologic pretty cool! What's the top, storage? The same vehicle is sold here as a Nissan Frontier. As I said before, Japanese trucks last almost forever.

So, @prologic, show us that truck, don’t be shy! 😊
@prologic you are right, there is no much out there. What little did I find, I am sure you came across it too. I say, wing it like an American would: you don't need no knowledge, load it up; hook that trailer up, and put all you need in it. If it moves it, and it doesn't break, then you are within specs. 😂
@prologic ah, I understand now. If you share the make, model, and year of the vehicle I could try helping!
@prologic what would you need them for? I mean, finding the same for a vehicle purchased *today* is hard, but I—myself—see no specific need for it.
@xuu that’s a joke, right? 😂😂😂 A regular Doe will not know how to do that. Nobody type URLs these days—not that long, anyway. As a comparison, Hugo (a Golang tool) renders those links just fine.
I didn’t know about Claude. How sad—and I am digressing a little—the state of mobile apps is! Everybody wants you to pay ongoing for them, it’s utterly unbelievable. But anyway, totally off topic, I just happened to follow the link, and saw their app on the store.
Block them all! 😂
@shreyan they did, too, had their “Independence Day”. 🥳
Got to fix that broken parsing on URLs with parenthesis in it. This one, inexplicably, works.
@prologic “as a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber", from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit" since outlaws were "pursued men")”

Congratulations to the British for getting rid of the Tories tyranny, and electing the forward thinking Labour party! 🥳
@prologic that, sure, it is a determinant factor, I agree.
There is, also, a small controversy going around for something that should have been a small change, but that Kling (SerenityOS, and Ladybird creator) handled quite badly: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814.
Seemingly small things like this divide, and have the potential to harm a project.
@prologic oh, then it can’t be applied to self-hosters. Unless they spin up a similar-to-CloudFlare infrastructure. 😂
DISCLAIMER: I don’t use CloudFlare other than as a Domain Registrar, and their DNS. I might be saying wrong/utterly inaccurate things.
@prologic I think the same way the do DNS proxy. They clean all traffic for you, and your self hosted infra gets it.
@movq nah, it doesn't matter, of course. Better prepared than not. It is also good to look forward something you enjoy doing. May I recommend Assembler?
Isn't Advent of Code during Saturnalia? Like, 6 months from now? 😂😂😂 My kid would tell me, "Touch grass, dude!" 😂
Would you guys like some Beryl?
> "Late Monday, Beryl became the earliest storm to develop into a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic and peaked at winds of 165 mph (270 kph) Tuesday before weakening to a still-destructive Category 4..."
@mckinley what happened? I have been tempted to install EndeavourOS to play a bit with it. Should I not? 😅
@aelaraji is it candy, is it candy? Please tell me it is candy, pretty please! 😂
Woot! Yup, fixed! Baby steps, squashing one bug at a time.
@prologic a new Yarn build is needed to fix it here, right?
@lyse I agree. A night in the forrest, while you are not at Sanger of being hunted, is surreal and amazing. I still remember the many times I did it as a child (and yes, caught fireflies and put them in a glass jar, and released them the next morning).
You are fortunate to live near the wilderness. I would have to drive for an hour to even get close a little. 😩

@xuu yeah, I will take it with a grain of salt. Impressive? Yes. Available to just about anyone? I don’t think so… yet.
@xuu that looks interesting, especially when they turned off network connectivity, and still worked just fine. Really, really interesting. Begets the question, though, what are the machine specs? Do you have a link to the source of this?
Hmm. It seems it takes a while before I am allowed to delete.
Hitting delete doesn’t do anything.
@darren wanting to test something with edits.
@darren wanting to test something with edits. Editing now. All good. Deleting.

Haha! @prologic@twtxt.net becomes @prologic@we.loveprivacy.club upon editing.
This is a test. I am mentioning @prologic. I will then edit this same pst (to correct a misspelling), and see what happens. I will copy this original block to refer to it on the follow up.

What is it, man? I am being torn now! LOL.
@prologic, found a markdown rendering bug. See parent, specifically *awesome*, which isn't rendering right.
Hmm. *Testing*, will delete.
@darren our summer is hot, and humid. Unless at the beach—in which case it is _awesome_—our summers are far from great. Oh, also the lawn grows like crazy because of the almost everyday showers, and the sun that comes after, so I have to work overtime mowing. 😩
