@bender@twtxt.net For the mo, yeah. I lost the shared database in a bizarre package update nightmare on that rpi, and simply never got around to attempting to restore it / rebuild it. It’s back in the front of my mind now, though, as I just found out that I can no longer run vaultwarden on buster (or not well, anyway), which means even the rpi hosting Yarn needs to be rebuilt. I mostly use all this for learning, mind, so I’m a bit all over the shop, really: trying to set up Proxmox on the old ThinkCentre I got on eBay, and also thinking about redesigning my OpenWrt config. :P

@darch@neotxt.dk 🥺 Thanks for sharing. :( RIP Aaron.

The Point Program for Public Thinking: a great student program announced today by The Point magazine: “[It] aims to cultivate habits of thought traditionally associated with liberal arts education… treating opposing opinions with humility rather than with hostility; reading generously rather than suspiciously…”

@xuu@txt.sour.is Dang. I’d imagine a few threat models out there miss that avenue.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net I’m well on from you, and while it’s a relatively recent development, I’m happy to say that these years are hands down the best of my life (to date). The downside for you is that it’s largely blind luck that’s landed me here. :P Best I can do is to suggest that you never stop listening, never stop learning. :)

@in-laws@twt.nfld.uk Welcome!

@prologic@twtxt.net Proof! ;)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci And here. Kids were over the moon! :)

@adi@twtxt.net Most welcome, mate! 🙂👍

@prologic@twtxt.net T’is the season! 🎄😁

@adi@twtxt.net Gotcha! OK, cancelled the bmac sub and set up a €5 one with PayPal; plus €40 for your domain. (I’m not using Revolut these days; might get back to it at some point, though, so I’ll keep that in mind.)

@adi@twtxt.net Apologies for going dark. Just set up monthly support through Buy Me A Coffee; not much, but I hope it helps.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, it’s a lightweight Linux distro based on Debian.

Playing around with BunsenLabs Lithium this afternoon. Very nice, so far.

@indulgeglobal@twt.nfld.uk Yeesh. Haven’t we indulged enough? More than a century of conspicuous consumption. Isn’t this a bit tone deaf, as a business model? Or am I the one who’s out of touch? Anyway, welcome. Honestly. We don’t all have to agree here, just so ya know. :)

How am I just finding out about VVVVVV now? Super excited to play it later; love a good game.

@dhev@twt.nfld.uk Heya, pod-mate! 👋 Welcome! :)

Such a clean, graffiti-free bus shelter! Obviously not the UK! ;)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very atmospheric! Love it. :)

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Oh, has it recently stopped working for you? It’s never worked properly for me.

Anyone else able to get the app hosted at mills.io running? I’m getting an error when I try to install it on LineageOS. #goryon

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net 🌞👋

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, I see. Yeah, it is. Also, fyi, my mentions still seem a bit finicky, with only that call for ideas on deleting twts from the wider network being listed there right now. (I have enabled that mentions related feature flag, btw.)

I’d like to come back to these. :) But not necessarily this week, as I’m in the problematic region, I see. ;)

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, maybe I’m missing something, but the accounts associated with the poderator account (e.g., news, help), don’t seem to work that way; could be wrong, though. Either way, I’m an idiot: the avatar is working; it’s just both mostly transparent and a terrible colour to mix with the yarn dark theme. >.<

@prologic@twtxt.net Wow, I’ve missed some big changes! Very nice. :) Poderator admin makes loads of sense. Two questions, more generally: 1) I’m guessing my help account avatar is no longer valid; how do I update that (under the support account somewhere, I assume)? And 2) What are the criteria for the special interest accounts that show up here again? I just deleted it, but some random account ended up right under help, for some reason. Ta!

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Yeah, I managed to read it, but that must’ve been hell for James! 😂

H’m, where are they hosted, @akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee? (That nerdpol domain doesn’t resolve for me, right now.) You used to have an account on my pod, didn’t you? I had an hour or so of downtime this morning; don’t suppose that’s related at all… 🤔

Cool. :) Nice to see an active user on the pod!

Forgot how much I missed Canadian friendliness. 🥰🇨🇦 Helped that I was in a couple of the friendliest place around: Newfoundland and Cape Breton! ❤️

The kicker was, I got almost all the services back up, and then decided to run a system update on my other RPi, which happens to host the databases of many nfld.uk services. Well, wasn’t one of the packages built incorrectly? I’m still troubleshooting – between work and jetlag – but I think a PostgreSQL package was built for the wrong architecture, or some such; got illegal instruction shortly after the update, and now the RPi won’t boot. D:

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Thanks! @prologic@twtxt.net, I came back to a few problems across the services I run – many of which are still down, in fact – but my pod outage seems to have coincided with a service outage at my ISP; both h/w and s/w remain untouched right now.

@prologic@twtxt.net I was on holiday; my pod missed me, I guess. ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, they hit my pod too; not really sure what to do about it, tbh. :/

Upgrade complete. \o/ Minor issue with smtpd, but quickly sorted.

Indeed, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! @prologic@twtxt.net, it’s one of many IRCNow ‘team’ servers, primarily serving IRC (and bouncers)… And yarn.social? 🤔

Working on upgrading to OpenBSD 7.1; on nastycode.com, not this pod! ;)

Ha. I think they registered on my pod too. :)

I see, both. :-)

@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Didn’t realise @prologic@twtxt.net forked it! (Or, didn’t remember, as I do seem to recall him contributing to the project.) So, yeah, the original (for now!). Is it performing OK for you?

Can’t… not… visit… ;-)

Getting addicted to these now… :-)

Well, my very conservative, traditional friend in another community came out hardly anything right of centre; and mid Y-axis. Seems off.

Yeah, I think it has a left-leaning bias, judging from half a dozen other results amongst mates. A propaganda / disinformation tool, maybe? H’m… ;-)

TIL that, according to one test at least, I’m not as centre as I thought I was!

@prologic@twtxt.net Ha. That wasn’t a dig, I promise! ;-)

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com One wonders why they didn’t just go for the full garter belt…

@adi@twtxt.net Ah, apologies; I did, indeed, miss it. And mentions are still flaky, for me. Just transferred some funds, and I’ll definitely check out those scripts! :-)

@sanda@twt.nfld.uk Hi! Welcome to the pod! ^x^
