- Comment on Would there be any potential problem of hosting public and/or private (vpn) services in a school office? 1 day ago:
It seems they don’t care.
Then get that in writing.

The entire point of the fediverse is to federate. Not federating by default kills discoverability and the potential for discoverability among other things
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don’t, can’t. We shouldn’t (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.

Excuse me, Jabber / XMPP is about as old as I am!

XMPP / Jabber is better.

Just sell the car to a derby demolition show. We all win.

I think you’ve pretty much nailed it. KFC can’t ban you from buying a Burguer King that McDonalds is secondhand selling.

- Comment on How To Migrate A Mastodon Account From One Server To Another 3 weeks ago:
It could be conditioned to revision. If you want to have your posts moved, they would be checked over by the moderation at server B.
But the fact that not even that is an option in the first place means this is a nonstarter for anyone who is interested in keeping the history of their presence.
- Comment on How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? 4 weeks ago:
Regarding things like dockers and flatpaks, I mostly “solve” it by only running official images, or at least images from the same dev as the program, where possible.
But also IMO there’s little to no reason to fear when using things like flatpaks. Most exploits one hears of nowadays are of the kind “your attacker needs to get a shell into your machine in the first place” or in some cases evn “your attacker needs to connect to an instance of a specific program you are running, with a specific config”, so if you apply any decent opsec that’s already a v high barrier of entry.
And speaking of Debian, that does bring to mind the one beef I have with their packaging system: that when installing a package it starts the related services by default, without even giving you time to configure them.

Yeah! They were so close to start fixing things!
- Comment on How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t.
Yeah, hot take, but basically there’s no point to me having to keep track of all that stuff and excessively worry about the dangers of modernity and sacrifice the spare time I have on watching update counter go brrrr of all things, when there’s entire peoples and agencies in charge of it.
I just run
unattended-upgrades(on Debian), pin container image tags to only the major version number where available, run rebuild of containers twice a week, and go enjoy the data and media I built the containers and installed for software for. - Comment on LibreWolf team has joined Mastodon 4 weeks ago:
Oh if only Proton could learn this power!

This sounds nice and all, but it’s 2025 and it still can’t migrate posts.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 4 weeks ago:
The screw-ups keep mounting like they want to be Google.
They (and we)'ve got to admit, the solution is not going to come from within their (managerial) ranks.
At this point I’d be happy to offer my services as a BDFL for Mozilla, at but a small fraction of the wages of any of their C-suites.

I don’t think mutual aid can work well like that on the internet. Works great in person,
That can be an incredibly privileged position to be in to say. Some people are in situations so bad in their meatspace life that “the random internet” is actually more trustworthy.

- Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? 5 weeks ago:
Have a portion of my taxes be set to pay for fediverse general stuff, or for the fediverse instances hosted on my own country. Honestly, with how important remaking the internet is this should be being managed at the level of the big payers, not at the level of individual payers for whom a donation has more fees attached than the donation amount itself…
- Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? 5 weeks ago:
That would increase so much the costs of keeping my phone operating that I’d have to set up an obligatory payment system.

Unsubstantiated claim:
I’d say reality pretty cleanly substantiates this.

Heck, it probably can be done with a regex. (Yeah, I know)
There’s no need to kill three forests just to do the exact same work you could have done by opening your dataset in Excel.

Forgejo gives you a registry built-in.
Also is it just me or does the docker hub logo look like it’s giving us the middle finger?
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 1 month ago:
No I mean, I don’t “trust” a groceries store. I only use them to trade for groceries, and only use cash when doing so.
Just because I use someone doesn’t mean I trust them. Even more: just becaue I trust Alice, that doesn’t mean I trust Bob by transitivity.

- Comment on You Can Post Your Way Out of Fascism if You Own the Means of Posting 1 month ago:
Oh get off their high horse. I know of no instance that is like Ecosia where your activity gets to, dunno, plant a tree or something. If you say online spaces somehow physically fight fascism, show me how many homeless people is your instance physically sheltering or helping immigrate to a better country, and we’ll talk.
Like, I love this kind of web space as much as the next person; but I don’t fancy myself in the emperor’s clothes.
