Matrix vs. XMPP

Image

XMPP and Matrix are two decentralized and federated free sofware projects for chat, including true end-to-end encrypted chat.

Users can either install the software on their own server if they want, but they can also easily register on any public server—both allow any XMPP or Matrix user to talk to users on their server or on any other one. In essence, it works like email: you might have an em … ⌘ Read more

Odysee stream over, worked well!
Just finished by first stream on LBRY/Odysee. If you missed it, don’t sweat it, we didn’t talk about anything too interesting, just trying Odysee’s new streaming abilities.

There was some bandwidth problems on my end, but Odysee itself seemed to handle the stream very well. ⌘ Read more

Stay frosty: possible test stream on PeerTube and YouTube in a bit
I’m going to probably be doing a test livestream in a bit. Hopefully I fixed the issue in the previous stream with Pulseaudio and buffering.

I’ll probably go live on PeerTube first, test it there, then test it on YouTube. I’m mobile and on limit battery though, so it won’t be a super long stream if everything works out.

The advice about interviewing being exhausting is spot-on. Recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates is a very different type of work than most of us engineering types enjoy.

@xjix@xj-ix.luxe Saw your oldish note about wanting an offline/async twtxt workflow. Do you have something that works for you? My (very young!) client was designed with that in mind.

@prologic@twtxt.net You may be interested in https://github.com/u-root/u-root (I work with a contributor).

@prologic@twtxt.netFor example, this should work (no idea if it does).

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “@niplav (#4qeibma) Hadn’t heard of this; thanks for the tip! Been getting lost in your text reviews; the Benatar piece piqued my interest: I’d been reading a critique of his earlier work – in Overall’s Why Have Children? – that really wasn’t up to scratch. Now I’m reading about pure replicators, which is a new concept, to me. :-)” -> Nice :-) Looking over my text reviews, they’re not quite finished (especially the Benatar one), so take it with a grain of salt

Last night I spent about 30 minutes putting together the bare framework for a dumb project I want to do. I’m so excited to work on it, I keep checking the website to see if I’ve posted anything new.

Today, out of the blue, somebody thanked me for some minor tech work I did in 2008. That felt pretty nice.

I really need to feel less guilty about not doing bullshit. I decided not to do bullshit work, and it ended up being a nice day.

I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.

@prologic it seem to work just fine for the most part. http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt for refernce

Thanks to a pointer from Richard Miller, got screen rotation working on my Pi 4s. Makes this absurdly wide display more practical.

Signal Status

Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)

@prologic@twtxt.netd It is pretty basic, and depends on some local changes i am still working out on my branch.. https://gist.github.com/JonLundy/dc19028ec81eb4ad6af74c50255e7cee

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net very curious… i worked on a very similar track. i built a spider that will trace off any follows = comments and mentions from other users and came up with:

Okay, my #twtxt reader works-ish. Need to properly deal with timezones (and, um, maybe do any error checking).

I have a working model for the reader portion of what I want this twtxt client to do.

Sure, you can make a bunch of predictions at the beginning of the year and calculate the Brier score for last year’s predictions, but all you need to do to feel that kind of cloud-dispelling mental work is this: go pants shopping, think of how good you’ll be at losing fat in light of all your previous new-year fat-loss attempts, and choose between pants with a 34″ inseam and pants with a 35″ inseam.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am trying to cut costs, so I deleted all my Digital Ocean droplets. For a month I will be using a free s390x VPS, so I needed to adapt some of my Docker images, scripts and configurations for that architecture. Also took another chance with Traefik Proxy, I ditched it long ago for nginx-proxy, but this time I made it work. #h5nn5tq

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda.. It can parse the twts into an AST.. but most of the formatting out expects a string to do regex over rather then the parsed AST. thats what i am working out next.

@prologic@twtxt.net sure, is the archive publicly accessible somewhere? it’s not that big of a deal if it’s too much work.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it would replace rice. best part is that it’s in the go build step so you don’t need to do any prep work with make.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile

Kinda wish types.Twt was an interface. it’s sooo close.

My latest work over the last few days. a twtxt parser. so far looking promising. Faster and less memory than the regex version. 😁

It doesn’t take long before the high performers on those teams get sick of picking up the slack. The high performers move on to companies that care, while the team’s output continues to decline as everyone pushes the boundaries of how little work they can get away with. Eventually management wonders why certain teams have so many people but so little output, “restructuring” occurs to trim the slackers, and the hiring cycle starts again to build the teams back up.
