@abucci@anthony.buc.ci That sounds awful. I had to give Signal my phone number, but I assume that’s so people can find my account? It couldn’t reroute messages within my phone.

@prologic@twtxt.net Awful. Glad I didn’t risk that installing Signal over here. Heck, my phone still dials emergency services, unlike Pixels at various points.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci > this app basically took over my phone number

Is this an Android-specific thing? What the heck?

@prologic@twtxt.net I think me?

@mckinley@twtxt.net Technically they were git forking mysteries, no GitHub involved. :P

New styling on desktop looks real good here!

@prologic@twtxt.net Planning on it here.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll be there. I need to finish my PR at the same time though. Been busy.

Okay fine, @mckinley@twtxt.net, I’ll update my feed source. I get the message.

I feel like wikis push me to hierarchical organization. My replacement is far messier: I open random Sandstorm documents, leave some notes, and hope I’ll remember enough of what I named it to search for it. :D

@prologic@twtxt.net Definitely didn’t pick up that you were joking… was slightly worried you might be offended by my honesty there! I am warming to HedgeDoc for some things, particularly meeting notes and blog drafting, but yeah, DokuWiki is what I use for my personal infrastructure docs. Network configs, manuals for obscure hardware, etc.

I will probably take another look after Todo or something, if you’re going to base your kinda core app experience for self-hosting on some of these, I should probably provide specific notes. :P

@prologic@twtxt.net tbh, your wiki felt a little half-baked when I tried it. I actually had given up on it and was playing with someone’s fork of it where they were going to build it out a lot more… and then they also abandoned it, I think. But that was also a bit ago, I don’t know if you’ve done more since.

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee DokuWiki is my strong vote, I believe the actual data format is just text files, which is quite nice.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Is Mastodon a “legacy” social network in this context too? :P

@mckinley@twtxt.net Wait is this even real? I block so much I haven’t seen an experience like this in twenty years.

@prologic@twtxt.net I will be there, plus Ian.

@prologic@twtxt.net TestFlight also says Goryon expires in 4 days so an iOS push is also probably well warranted.

Yarn.social call notes: Nobody showed up, so @prologic@twtxt.net just kept teaching me Go stuff.

Yep, that’s the joke, lol.

@prologic@twtxt.net Still the plan. Figured we’d go to the same bat-channel if you have no objection!

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz FWIW, the chat has no strong topic setting, and it can go pretty much anywhere. I am probably the only regular Windows user who attends, lol. It’s at midnight for me too!

@mckinley@twtxt.net Key takeaway here is we need more attendees so that chat doesn’t devolve into being about Windows.

https://meet.jit.si/Yarn.social is the location for said meeting too.

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz The call is 19 minutes from now, if people show up.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Sounds like we need to hunt down more attendees. o_o

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah, my understanding is he’s out, so if it’s just us, it’s just one personal talking and one person typing. I’m not totally opposed to that though, I don’t… have a lot better to do?

No call tonight, I assume?

@prologic@twtxt.net I am crushed. No problem, happy birthday and stuff! Believe me, I have plenty more to do with this computer now.

@prologic@twtxt.net Alright well I couldn’t rebuild the old OS intact. Windows is hard to fix once broke. But I’ve got my fresh install on my new drive, feels very shiny, home automation is back online. Should be good for Friday!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net Google is deeply dependent on its corporate culture. It depends on both it’s amenities and the internal social structure to keep people working there and to keep them there for extended hours. Google’s entire thing collapses if people aren’t there for the free food.

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com Who knew birds were anticapitalist?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, SPKs carry all the parts of a Linux OS (except the kernel itself) to operate the app, and while presumably the container environment itself would have to be reimplemented, I think Cap’n Proto would really be the only like… hard dependency to an environment being able to run a Sandstorm app, as it’s the protocol Sandstorm apps talk through to the outside world.

@prologic@twtxt.net I was thinking if Cap’n Proto can work on GoNix, then Sandstorm apps could conceivably also work…

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t backup my boot drive, but it also generally doesn’t have a lot of significant data of value. It is also still readable, apparently SSDs do that when they expect to fail, so I am currently backing it up anyways.

My SSD has died, so I may or may not have a working dev environment by Friday. :|

@prologic@twtxt.net , GoNix ponderances: If Docker runs, would non-GoNix-compatible apps run successfully in said Docker containers? is go-capnp something that would run in GoNix, considering I believe the Go side is just the bindings?

@prologic@twtxt.net That might work, I do want to make sure my environment is set up first.

Hey @prologic@twtxt.net if I was gonna try to write one or two small web apps with Go, could I waste your time on a call to get me started?

I drafted a take about this concept to eventually go on the Sandstorm blog, not my own. My own blog is a joke. :D

@prologic@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net Paper I referenced in my draft blog post: It’s really old school, but I find it kinda fun: https://www.spinellis.gr/pubs/jrnl/2003-PUC-ifurnace/html/furnace.html

@prologic@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net Update: I think I will make it, just might be a few late.

Sometimes apps shoehorn the user-id field into like their email or password fields, and then use either username or preferred-handle for the display name depending on the type of app.

The only thing particularly more complicated for Sandstorm is that we don’t control the uniqueness of a user’s preferred handle, so you do need to user the user-id field for authentication, and then ensure the username is unique inside the app.

@prologic@twtxt.net That is essentially what Sandstorm already does! We have Sandstorm specific header names, but you can also make the header name you ingest configurable. https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/developing/auth/

@prologic@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net Doubt I will make it in time.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net For the record, there’s a drastically better alternative than powerline for many US homes: MoCA. A pair of Motorola MM1025 adapters can shove 2.5 Gbps down an old coaxial cable, incredibly reliably. I use some older MM1000s (1 Gbps) to get between my basement and the second floor.

@prologic@twtxt.net Safari being stupid is often a good bet.

If you are using the default iOS Calendar though, you can copy the URL, go to Add Calendar within the app, and then Add Subscription Calendar.

@prologic@twtxt.net You’d think! I usually do most of my actual set up of calendars and contacts on desktops, really only use my phone for consuming said information.
