My generous friend @lr once gave me “Andrew Glassner’s Notebook” and some other of Glassner’s books… https://glassner.com/homepage/books/non-fiction-gallery/ so much fun!

@bender@twtxt.net are you able to send me a video recording of how that sounds because I don’t think that that’s what they called it at the breakfast? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net dad told me the name is Tao Tau.

It was though year. I finished my PhD, yay! Now, I’m on vacation from my main job, as educator at Sesc, and yesterday I wound down some last freelance work obligations. I really need a break.

I want to rest, make some “prints” of my drawings for friends, go to my local museums and have coffee/tea with friends, and that’s it!

Today we celebrate 18 years of our local #Python users group, #GruPySP, and I’m going to meet friends from #GaroaHackerClube, that’s a great start :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Four people! Exactly my thoughts, bender, but super cute. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de well I’ve got several minutes of at least three people’s attention now didn’t it? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net And I think that plan worked! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net actually I think it’s a little more nuance than that because for example with salty chat, we have support for DNS based delegation via SRV records and your identity is associated with your Apex Dom name and of course the keys.

I actually don’t understand why Federation and activity pub is so goddamn hard to migrate from one instance to another 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Same. I think i might have played with it at some point!

@bender@twtxt.net ha ha it started the V something and I don’t understand how to reproduce Vietnamese name 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net my translator says conversations. An Jabber Droid app comes to mind.

@prologic@twtxt.net he uses subdomains. Which do you think the identity be associated with? (hint, “it is not so hard!”).

@prologic@twtxt.net well then, and now we will never freaking know because you have the memory of a damn fly. Thank you so much! 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe what app is that?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com does that mean your identity gets associated with your Apex domain or your sub domain?

it’s not an apple and it’s not a guava

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yes! 🙌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how long do they need to read the scale? LOL. The penguin stayed put at least twice, no issues. I think the creator wanted some Internet points out of that video. 😂

That would be my dream job: Weighing penguins. 😍

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Reminds me of an apple, too. :-)

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe yeah, that’s the only reason why I use sub-domains when trying anything federated (I believe Matrix has the same problem), in case things didn’t go as planned I can just migrate and take it down.

@prologic@twtxt.net that some kind of apple native to the area. Mum grows a tree of it, I will ask her for the Vietnamese name.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe that has to be one of my stupid designs of activity pub 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net looks like a tiny green apple to me 😅 … but this site says maybe a Guava

I don’t know what this fruit is called! The waiter at breakfast told me the Vietnamese name but I’ve since forgotten 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup did yjay some weeks ago 👌

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute… +1 point goes to GTS’s docs. but hey, I’ll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I’m wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven’t seen it yet)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Nice to see someone else also participating! 🥳

(Btw, they don’t want us to share our inputs: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/wiki/faqs/copyright/inputs/ Yeah, it’s a bit annoying. I also have to do quite a bit of filtering on my repo …)

I meant were. You get the idea.

Also, I just realized that simple links like that turn into inline images on twtxt.net. Nice! 🥳

FWIW, day 03 and day 04 where solved on SuSE Linux 6.4:

Performance really is an issue. Anything is fast on a modern machine with modern Python. But that old stuff, oof, it takes a while … 😅

Should have used C or Java. 🤪 Well, maybe I do have to fall back on that for later puzzles. We’ll see.

@bender@twtxt.net Nothing will make me use Discord, though. 😅 Not voluntarily.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I bet. I wouldn’t be surprised if it more popular in some Discord servers too. I mean, the event itself is quite obscure, so… yeah.

Most of the Advent of Code action happens on the Fediverse, I’m afraid:

There’s just way more people over there who participate. 🥴

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com good luck with that! Their installation requirements, and install document in general give me headache. While on the contemplating topic, I too am contemplating shutting down my ActivityPub altogether. No GoToSocial, no nothing. I am mostly a lurker, so will not miss it much.

I’m contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people’s past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality …etc felt like handicap for the past N months.

Queria postar algo positivo sobre #SãoPaulo (vou ainda pensar em algo) mas no momento só consigo pensar na deprimente decoração de Natal de extremo mau gosto que a prefeitura espalhou pela cidade, e deve ter custado uma nota.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I like the sounds of this technique a lot redirecting these AI crawling assholes to multi gigabyte files! The only concern I have is how do you do it in such a way that you don’t end up destroying your own ISP speed test servers?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com So you’re found for Javascript eh? 🧐

@kiwu@twtxt.net Not sure if you can find a second hand Canon G7X for cheap (it doesn’t have to be a Mark II or Mark III), you might love it. But watch a couple of reviews just to make sure it is/does what you need it for.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t find the exact blog post from before, one that used redirection directives in its nginx config. but I found [this one ](https://melkat.blog/p/unsafe-pricing#:~:text=Something%20else%20I’ve%20been%20doing%20this%20year,%20fine.) mentioning a similar process but done differently.
