In-reply-to » Oh boy... Eugene Rochko's status. And what a flashy name, "Social Web Foundation". See the "industry support" header on that page. Don't like it one bit.

It comes across as the beginning of a “corporate sell out”. Also, links to X, and Threads, but the Fediverse link doesn’t work. Really? Overall, it doesn’t seem right (at least to me). Oh, also Meta on that list: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/09/24/launch/. Nope. Pass.

In-reply-to » Yeah.. it is very similar to salty.im a smp is a relay queue for messages. You can self host one if you choose. They also have something called xftp for data storage and device state transfer. You can also self host one.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt salty.im needs a lot more work 🤞it is however designed to be 1000% decentralized 👌

I think salty.im is simplest than simplex. But attempt to implement this i have problems than salty cli cant decrypt messages from another saltpack realization (and reverse) . Also simplex is more decentralized (like nostr?)

In-reply-to » (#eqgicaq) @3r1c I think I’m gonna like that blog. 😅 https://unixdigest.com/articles/is-the-madness-ever-going-to-end.html

I am reminded of this when I look at entire forks of vscode just to add a LLM code completion assistant.

In-reply-to » Awesome, "unable to open database file: out of memory (14)" actually means that the SQLite file cannot be created, because the parent directory does not exist. Bonus points for Open(…) being successful and only executing the first command giving me that error. Meh.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, that’s just a general SQLite thing: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/102 But, mkdir -p $dir and just retrying the command works.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Did someone call perror() after something that does not change errno? 🥴

In-reply-to » @prologic I’m sure you can somehow install something that calculates blake2b on OpenBSD. But it’s not part of the base system as a standalone CLI tool, there only appear to be Perl modules for it. The other SHA tools do exist.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yes, of course. This has been blown out of proportion anyway. All I originally wanted to say is that the b2sum program isn’t very widely available.

It would help to know how many different clients there actually are. I suspect that number is very close to 3.

In-reply-to » @bender Over here, people can put red ribbons on their fruit trees to signal that they are free to use for everyone. That's an effort to minimize the giant food waste. Meadow orchard owners who do not have the time or energy anymore to harvest themselves (I reckon a lot of them are of age nowadays), can ensure that the tasty things do not simply rot away. Also, the town hangs those ribbons on trees on municipal properties.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org forgot to add that this:

people can put red ribbons on their fruit trees to signal that they are free to use for everyone.

Is mighty awesome, and gives a sense of small community. That’s why I asked how big, or small, your town was. 😊

TWO HOURS wasted today trying to figure out why an image wasn’t loading on some web page and what I was doing wrong… when the issue is the friggin’ DSL router is injecting headers into http (non-https) pages. GAH! I’m ready to throw the thing. I’ve never been so mad at CPE. 🤬

In-reply-to » Made the first apple sauce of the season in around three to four hours of work. Pretty cool, very, very little waste. The jars are currently cooking.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, thank you for explaining the process so conscientiously. If I ever come across an apple tree, I now know (or have the text to read and follow) how to make some mean apple sauce. I can tell, though, without a doubt, nothing I can buy off the shelves here would even get close.

Reading about browser security measures and getting sad we don’t live in a world where cross-site scripting is a feature instead of a bug.
