Now that Twitter is in decline, I am considering to create a second account to share private thoughts with people I trust.I am aware of the privacy implications – posts are not encrypted end to end and therefore readable by instance operators, but I feel that the risk is acceptable.The Mastodon modification used by qoto.org supports “circles” which might be useful for this purpose, but I fear that I don’t have the time to implement something similar for Akkoma.

Matrix would be an interesting alternative, but as far as I can tell it does not support Twitter‐style one‐to‐many communication. I don’t feel like a room or channel is an adequate abstraction for this, but I guess that it would be possible to implement something suitable based on the protocol.

@stonehead I have never used Discord. Does it allow for one‐to‐many communication like Twitter? Or does it behave more like IRC or Matrix?

@js But then nobody would be able to reply, right?

@js It runs on an Erlang VM, so everything is a bit weird, but I am quite happy with it.Wrote a NixOS module for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/192285

@js The Nix tooling cannot deal with Mix dependencies fetched from Git, which meant I had to specify them manually. And a few of of the dependencies require fixes to properly build on Nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/192285/files#diff-f9a95923df26a038cf7ae74b13b39445d427c1f42bbe03deb1da9f9d463a55b6 (https://github.com/illdefined/nixpkgs/blob/akkoma/pkgs/servers/akkoma/default.nix)Apart from the Elixir dependencies it does not require anything but PostgreSQL. You may need ffmpeg, exiftool and ImageMagick if you use certain upload filters.And of course you can integrate it with ElasticSearch or Meilisearch, but I have never tried that.

Why do people keep using RSS for web feeds instead of Atom?

@js I could live with that even if it is technically incorrect. But the various RSS versions have significant shortcomings compared to Atom.

My timeline has been full of posts about how content warnings have always been an integral part of Fediverse culture from the very beginning and that this tradition must be observed by newcomers. I understand the motivation to keep this part of Fediverse culture alive and I support the idea of using content warnings liberally as neutral content declarations, but I am frankly annoyed by the sheer amount of “fedisplaining” or patronising posts directed towards new users.The Fediverse may have been a kind of virtual living room for some users, with a very specific culture and associated social norms. But the exodus from Twitter has resulted in an enormous influx of new users ignorant to these norms, disturbing that peace. I think that trying to hold on that notion of the Fediverse as a shared living room may be very exhausting and ultimately a futile effort. We may have to learn to live with that new reality. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try to keep the Fediverse safe and accessible, in particular for its early adopters for some of whom it may have been a safe haven.But I don’t think that patronising and antagonising new users is particularly helpful in that regard. Convincing everyone to be self-disciplined about content annotations (media descriptions and content warnings) may require actual dialogue and reconsideration of policies and norms. Considering the disproportion of newcomers to regulars that will require a lot of effort and patience.

So far I have never managed to visit Tōkyō without acquiring computer keyboard parts.

@cafkafk I have been using btrfs for ages, and in the early years it would often eat my data, teaching me the value of regular backups, but the implementation has matured a lot and I have not had any data loss for years now. It works quite well on top of dm-crypt/dm-integrity without a volume-level integrity journal.I followed the bcachefs development for a while and even used it once on a small storage server, but it fell short of my expectations and I lost track of its progress at some point. I’ll probably check it out again the next time I need to set up a storage system.I also used ZFS on FreeBSD, but I wasn’t impressed by it. I suppose it wasn’t really suited for a small storage system with just a few gibibytes of RAM.I was quite fond of XFS in my childhood, but I haven’t used it in a long time. I still remember that it would produce zero blocks in files when the system crashed.

@anna Assuming you are talking about 0.175ml and 0.3ml respectively, you are probably not going to die anytime soon. Exceeding recommended plasma levels may increase your risk for blood clots in the long term. I suggest to go to a lab from time to time and have them checked.A little bit of air won’t kill you either, especially with intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. But even with intravenous injection – I hope you are not doing that with your E – you’d need a lot more than 0.2ml of air to cause an embolism.
