@sir I love it for being able to copy the link to the feed and paste it to newsboat's config - no idea if newsboat supports autodiscovery as frankly I've never tried or even known that was a thing until this thread (though I do remember, briefly, those RSS buttons in Firefox's address bar way back when)

@sir very nice!are there (or are you thinking of) ways to disable the CI auto-run until the patch is in some "Approved for CI" state to prevent malicious (or even accidental) secret leakage?something like ^ would actually be better than the usual CI flow on GitHub/GitLab, where I have to outright disable CI secrets on forked repos (because, well, duh)... which means I can't run a full, true CI stack on inbound PRs unless I adopt the tree (and rebase the PR) into the upstream repo...

@sir Same tbh. I looked far and wide. The options, especially in countries with climates I can tolerate (read: generally cooler weather places) and non-authoritarian regimes, are very few and far between :\Germany has a freelance visa if you can make an argument you qualify, and France has some interesting startup visa options (though unfortunately seem to assume you want to take VC, which you don't), but otherwise......

@sir It's a very complicated protocol and my god running a homeserver is a headache, but it also does more, by design, than IRC, and offers features that users *want* (if they didn't, it wouldn't have been adopted from the sea of FOSS chat protocols that have flopped, nor would its proprietary analogues be success stories: Slack, MS Teams, etc.)I'm glad IRC works for you, and indeed for many devs it's all we need, but corps like Mozilla wouldn't have ditched it for no reason, IMO.

@sir I just re-read your blog article and actually, I agree with your bit of "conservative improvements on top of existing IRC norms are much better". I think some of the UX things in Matrix are *awesome* to have inline support for (ex. uploading an image straight from the app), but would fullheartedly agree with everything boiling down to plain text before it hits the wire.Sadly, convincing my boss, for example, of that is nigh-impossible, so Slack-esque UXes and protocols are now the "norm".

@sir I'm not sure why you think that when I ultimately... mostly agree with you? You laid out a midway point between Slack-esque apps and IRC that I *agree* with, but don't know how to push for outside of, well, FOSS geeks and the like.

@sir But.... you did?You didn't specify how the images could be *uploaded* client-side, sure, but that's a client-side concern. Similarly, you discuss code snippets in passing.The only bit I really disagreed with in there is scrollback, and that's mostly due to my usage patterns of chat apps not being *quite* as ephemeral as you root for (read: I come and go and am in rooms I need to be caught up on even after periods of absence, non-negotiably)

@nergal @sir As one who hosts a Matrix homeserver I will wholeheartedly agree with these concerns, too. It's a colossal pain in the ass to get going, there was a particularly nasty upgrade around the 1.0 days (especially regarding SSL/TLS), and the thing eats a ton of resources.I recall running a Prosody (XMPP in Lua) server maybe 7-10 years ago on a Pentium 4 machine with 1GB RAM and had no problems. Synapse on a Raspberry Pi is... not going to be nearly as pleasant.

@nergal @sir This said, if Dendrite ever stabilizes, or another homeserver impl is written, there's hope for the "run it on a weaker box" crowd maybe. It's never going to be as CPU/RAM-light as an IRCd, let alone net I/O, though.That said, I've been considering replacing my Matrix homeserver with an IRC server with stunnel (for SSL) and maybe some bots to provide, for example, automatic creation of Jitsi rooms (to replace the VOIP bits of Matrix, which sometimes use Jitsi now anyway)

@sir There are people who don't deserve to die just because they're there earning a paycheck, man. Sure, they need to take a long, hard look at their employer's numerous problems and figure out whether they're aligned with those values (if so, why? and if not, why are they still accepting the blood money?), but they don't deserve death, much as how all law breakers don't deserve death despite what your neighbor said!

@tija @sir I never said anything to the contrary. I said they didn't deserve to vanish/die

@Gina making me feel way more justified in my decision to land somewhere in or vaguely near Rotterdam when I move across the pond this spring (or so is the hope) 😂 that's somehow worse than both Seattle and Vancouver, albeit only barely

the replacement of "No" with "Ask me later" or "Remind me later" or "Schedule in 8hrs" in software UX is something I will never stop grumbling about

@mntmn ooooooh the intriguing thing about a CM4 adapter would be the plausible RISC-V compat via something like https://www.hackster.io/news/antmicro-unveils-the-risc-v-arvsom-system-on-module-pin-compatible-with-the-raspberry-pi-cm4-7c0d7e073346

hi y'all. if you have follow rec's on any of the following, please pass them along! I tend to read Masto like 1/8th as much as Birdsite because my feed, while usually very high-quality, is still somewhat low-quantity, and I'd love to fix that!- simple living, off gridding, sustainability, ecology, environmentalism, and similar- - anti-capitalism, degrowth (I guess similar to the above)- Linux, BSD, simple computing, privacy in tech, etc.- music. all the music.- Cascadia/PNW in general!

where's the LinkedIn setting for "not REALLY looking for new work, and especially not interested in your >40hr/wk VC startup, but <=32hr/wk, preferably non-VC-backed, roles, holler"?like if I'm gonna get this much InMail I may as well at least be interested in.... any of it?to some degree I guess this is what recruiters talk about when they say "even folks who aren't looking have a price". I do have a price! it's just not a price much of the tech industry can fulfill from what I can tell

Well now if this isn't just the coolest packaging for a sticker pack ever!When my MNT Reform shows up it'll have some fun art on the lid (maybe some of these will end up on the boat, too?), and the envelope itself is worth hanging onto, too!thanks @rek & @neauoire!

@aw I wonder how much room there could be to share effort/ideas between that and something I very recently started up (currently just a README brain dump; working on code offline atm) https://github.com/klardotsh/gawsh^ Inspired by my personal Gitea server currently being down and not feeling like fixing its complexity when I need a micro-fraction of its functionality...Anyway, I think your static ML thing + a static Git thing could be an interesting combo!

@aw I had no idea this was you! A big part of why I started scribbling my ideas for gawsh because I noticed mygit had added the unmaintained notice! (additionally for the challenge of just building a thing, but still)
