@gustav very often, it helps to have people around you that ground you and force you to do things you may not want to do while high on your own brain fumes. Also deadlines can be a good motivator to snap out of it. Still, sometimes the hyperfocus happens and I have no control over it, sometimes I forget to eat until the end of the day, at those times I try to go with the flow and be kind to myself.

i used to use ivory app on ios, but it was a bit buggy. everything else is working smoothly.

@grunfink Hello! I've set it up yesterday and it's been super easy (fastcgi behind httpd), but some things that feel like they should be working from third party clients don't work, like attaching images to posts. So I'm wondering what setup people use!
...
...
@grunfink Hmm, my issue with posting images from Phanpy (or other Mastodon clients) is with the GET endpoint, after I submit a post with attached images, the GET request to `/api/v1/media/post-d7891f3f5d40f8dca38f3581784e1bac.png` returns 404 (even though the png and txt with the image description do exist on the server, eg have been uploaded properly.
...
...
@grunfink I mean, it does include the host of the instance, so `https://social.gosha.net/api/v1/media/post-d7891f3f5d40f8dca38f3581784e1bac.png`. What I'm trying to figure out is why snac is responding with 404 to that.

[WELP I can no longer say that #FreeBSD's draft policy on LLM code contributions was leaning towards #NetBSD's way of thinking of banning the slop code entirely. I was going off what was said at last year's BSDCan.
Apparently it's shifted since then. https://reviews.freebsd.org/differential/changeset/?ref=1487182
Hopefully it shifts back, before it's finalized. I feel a bit crushed. I've been talking about that prior draft policy as a positive indicator for months. Im realizing I had pinned a lot of hope on it.
I've been trying REALLY hard to stay away from software with LLM generated code. (sigh). Ive dived back into FreeBSD hard after many years away, and have even been trying to contribute some stuff to ports.
I guess if this goes south, ill be re-evaluating things. Maybe NetBSD? Though I know it's missing some things from pkgsrc that will hurt to do without. #bsd

[@trashheap There's certainly things missing from pkgsrc, do you have specific things in mind ?
I'd think the things a FreeBSD user would miss most on NetBSD would be jails and related, or possibly Wayland or the more recent OpenZFS features
...
@tfb Honestly number one my list is the lack of signal client.
...
@trashheap Oh ouch, that's probably not a fun thing to get ported, being electron and all. I've managed to largely avoid Signal, but that depends on who you're communicating with of course.
I have no idea if the Linux version runs under binary compatibility, but that could be worth exploring
...
![[?]](https://media.bsd.network/accounts/avatars/000/026/574/original/5af518149372faf1.jpeg)
@trashheap before this heads off on rampant speculation, the Project doesn't yet have consensus on how to handle this, & we are working towards one. There are 2 drafts in circulation that I'm aware of.
Within the Project there are at least 3 groups:
- No AI (absolutists)
- Pro AI (accelerators)
- everybody in the middle
Yesterday's core meeting (which I attended) agreed to:
- publish a pragmatic policy for the interim
- consolidate the existing draft options if possible
- if not possible, at provide 2 options that can then be voted on in our next formal Elections, and discussed prior
There is no question that AI is very controversial, and also that FreeBSD the Project has committers who will have differing views across this space.
From the wider environmental picture, through concerns about copyright issues & licence erosion, and to the very real impact on code review effort from AI-generated or AI-assisted systems, and how AI is being used extensively by potential newcomers to the project, it's very easy to pick a side, and then be outraged that the Project hasn't taken *your* side.

@dch @trashheap different policies for different parts of the source? a pretty conservative stance for kernel/drivers, and a lean one for tests/docs, etc.

@charlesrocket that’s a good idea, but could a single license still cover this? The license is a critical part of BSD history and our culture @trashheap

@dch there's already a separate licence for FreeBSD documentation:
...
@grahamperrin it’s still the BSD 2-clause version tho @charlesrocket @trashheap
...
@dch @grahamperrin @charlesrocket Ive missed the thread on something. What does the license have to do with AI/LLM code-commit policy?

@trashheap If software is missing in pkgsrc, then contributing recipes would be both rewarding and improve software availability for everyone 😉
Ok, now that Beastie accepts AI generated code (once reviewed by a mentor yada yada), the question is how do you actually identify AI code. I mean, once it works as expected. How can you tell an AI code from a newbie code - that did a bunch of copy/paste/adapt from Stack Exchange for example?

doing a brutal last-minute change for MNT Reform Next: primary M.2 SSD now full-size (2280), secondary M.2 SSD (2230/2242) now on the back of the mainboard. microSD Express gone, but could still live in an adapter in any of those 2 slots if needed.
Alt...
MNT Reform Next mainboard in KiCAD 3D viewer. there's suddenly a large chonky SSD right in the middle of everything
...
this is a cost-saving measure on the one hand (2280 are more broadly available and affordable than the small sizes these days), but on the other hand allows you a lot more flexibilty when choosing fast storage options. you'll also be able to do RAID stuff between the 2 SSDs, of course.
...
now the bad news: i didn't anticipate the recent SSD+RAM apocalypse last year. the 32GB RAM+256GB eMMC are safe because i bought them early. but i didn't buy all SSDs early enough: even with the switch to 2280/being able to combine stock of different sizes, the SSDs at promised capacities would cost us 33514 EUR over budget. we don't have this extra cash, so the only option is to reduce the SSD capacities: we can ship 1TB instead of 2TB and 512GB instead of 1TB. i'm extremely sorry for this.
...
everything else about the Next is going well though. we fixed many small papercuts that i experienced while daily driving the laptop and have many parts already stocked or ordered. i have a draft of a more detailled Crowd Supply update that i'll finish over the next few days.
...
for reference, SSD price development graphs @ PC Part Picker https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/internal-hard-drive/#storage.ssdm2nvme.2000

i forgot to say that with this new plan, the half capacity SSDs are still more expensive than the original ones (approx 5158 EUR over budget).

Yeah, no one thinks you’re immune to the rolling catastrophes of stupid. We all know you’re going to make the best judgments.

So I'm thinking about replacing the TV with a 24" wide-screen monitor. They are both 1920x1080 but I think the dedicated monitors picture looks sharper than the TV.
I may just switch off the laptops display when it's on the external monitor ? Hmmmm.
...
curious about automating...
...
@hi @justine I have one script that starts with Xenodm. It checked which monitor is connected and activate only the laptop one (if external is not connected) or the external monitor, when it is there. I can also call it with a keybinding in case I disconnect the external monitor for some reason. xrandr is a great tool!
...
...
@hi or use hotplugd if you can identify some device from your monitor. Mine has a USB Hub so I get a lot of messages when monitor is (un)pluggued.

Sums up my experience growing up
Alt...
Tumblr post by arahir
i just can't convey the frustration and sorrow that it's been to grow up at
first without the internet and then watching it bloom into this useful,
fun, connecting force you sometimes spent time on, only for it to
degrade into this constant oppressive waste of time and energy where
people are constantly pumping out algorithmically designed content for
max algorithmic appeal and even the most simple search generates
either no results or an infinite abyss of ai generated slop none of which is
usable or correct. we briefly had a library of alexandria and then fed it
into a paper shredder so advertisers could sell a random mash of pulp
back to us at a premium.

@ilovecomputers I feel like the core of what we loved about the internet is there - it's hiding in chat rooms, little closed member forums, hand crafted websites. It's not gone, just harder to see, but if you dig through the muck, you find yourself in a small meadow with a few other folks who might share with you something good.

Any recommendations? :)
I agree that the web is usable and pretty nice using RSS to follow blogs. I also love blogs with a comment section with the same community of people discussing the topic.
What I miss somewhat are dedicated web forums that are active. Something like Head-fi and Steve Hoffman's forum for music.
I wish for forums like that for other topics, as well.

SPRING 2025 VOL. 1. ISSUE 1. of good internet
A woman with pink hair has her legs crossed and placed her laptop on her legs. She’s wearing headphones and behind her is vegetation with flowers. Almost seems she’s meditating with the good internet.
Some articles featured on this cover:
Coming home to the small web
"Blogging and webweaving changed my life"
Falling in love with the internet again
Finding good community on Mastodon
Building a slow web
Whimsical accessibility
The web we lost was here all along

@ilovecomputers And the reason for all of this is "Monetization".
Things used to be different because people put stuff on the internet because they wanted other people to see it, not to sell it.

People using their real names and faces
Governments wanting to control it
Corporations flooding it
Just a few things from the top of my head that made it all go to shit
It was certainly a group effort

@ilovecomputers I feel this in every fiber of my being. I weep for every generation that has come after me that they will never know the peace of just getting to be without being tracked, monetized and fed into a perpetual rage machine.

To be less of a downer, I want to pin this reply thread on this post as it contains links to indie websites and communities that continue to live on. It’s not just nostalgia; even amongst the next generation, there’s growing enthusiasm for slow tech.

@ilovecomputers This is the experience of the new "Lost Generation".
What's more crazy is knowing how deeply the media we consume shapes and informs us, and thinking about what teens and 20s today are growing up with. X_X
(I guess to be fair... What all of us are continuing to grow up with... But yeah, earlier formative experiences, chances to connect with people who expand your horizon, etc... dang)

It’s almost like you wanna go back to a library. You know, people building stuff they like or create and for local business
It really calls for a municipal utility network that serves the residents of a location of a city or town, that provides Internet access, web posting services and a data center. Librarians would be recruited to provide information services to structure things usefully.
Each city could then federate with other cities to create a larger network.

I know the guy who invented it gave it to us all with good intent and selflessness, but had he kept a la Jimmy Swales and prevented it from being colonized by entities hellbent on making money off it, we'd be better off.
Maybe those companies would have created their own facsimile. That would be fine. Have a profit-driven internet separate from the humanist internet.

@ohnoitsnoah it depends on the IRC client/bouncer, but im using a little tiny python script running ntfy + a super thin soju client. and then pebbleos just intergrates perfectly with ntfy.
but any irc bouncer should have a way to hook into it, and the ntfy api is just one curl call!
i would recomend having a irc bouncer so it can run 24/7 ^__^

“I won’t be on Bluesky, but my book will.”
“I have to find readers and reviewers. There are readers and reviewers on Bluesky.”
“Since I’m using my book promotion as an example of my marketing skills, it needs to be where industry people are.”
This is how I’m coping with something I really don’t want to do. So, tell me, will I be wrong for posting my book promotion over there?
EDIT: For that 2nd option, maybe think “It’s not ethical.” There’s bias in how I wrote it.

I struggled with this a great deal myself. I quit major platforms for my values, and haven’t regretted it. I left a lot of folks behind. It took me a very very long time to build up a community to replace the ones I walked away from.
And all I can say is not a single person from those platforms followed me over to my new homes. Not. A. One.
Intransigence is real. Inertia is real. Social media fatigue is real. The sad reality is the people you are trying to put your stuff in front of won’t be coming to Mastodon for you.
Having a presence on *any* platform isn’t as effective as it used to be, for lots of reasons.
I use Bluesky because I know (thanks to our capacity to view the last time each of our followers were last active) that half my followers stopped using Mastodon. So I’m here for different reasons.
I also know that Mastodon is a much more global platform, which doesn’t do me any good if I’m trying to sell my art as I can’t sell it internationally from the US right now. So again, I’m here for different reasons.
Finally, for the most part, most Mastodon servers emphasize sustaining community over growth & reach. Other platforms have different goals.
My biggest advice for you is to continue recognizing why you use a platform over another and why you don’t. That will make you a better user. Lean into that. Don’t try to make it something it will never be or apply expectations it will never fulfill. Embrace what it *is*.

@dwardoric yeah, I don't know how sustainable a job that is to match year and reps X) That being said, I couldn't do pull ups 10 years ago.

@ccohanlon I might not, this might be peak for me. I don't think I could have done 30 when I was 30 X).
Wait, you're not 80!? Are you seriously 80? If that was not a joke, you look way younger.

@neauoire NO. I will be 80 when you turn 50 😆. I'm 71.

@neauoire how long did it take to learn how to handstand? You inspired me to try this at home.

@alex27 this is probably going to sucks to hear, but.. three years.
...
@neauoire not at all, I've decided to do that, and only then checked internet and saw numbers: 780 days, one year, and so.
It was crazy from the first point of view, but I'm writing a bird each day for 3 years already, and planning to do that 7 more years, so feeling of time shifted a bit. I hope that I will be able to do handstand at least in 4 years.
Thank you a lot!

@alex27 that's such a good way to think about this, it just takes time, lots of time. But the process is fun, so, if you can enjoy the process. You'll be able to handstand before you know it ✊

@jack goals, right there. I find that if I stop doing daily reps, I lose it SO FAST. I really hope that I can do a one arm pullup when I'm 50. It's so easy to get hurt with those.

My mind is blown. When I first got this HP hybrid tablet, one of the first things I tried was installing OpenBSD. However, the installer (7.8 amd64) would never boot all the way, rebooting the machine around the time it was detecting the CPU cores. I tried a lot of different Linux distros and other OSes, and eventually settled on Fedora KDE as it had complete support for the device, including the touch screen and digitizer pen, the detachable keyboard and its battery, and so on.
Well today, in a fit of boredom, I flashed a USB drive with the OpenBSD installer and booted it on the tablet, and inexplicably it finished booting and got me to the installer prompt! Of course I immediately blew away the Fedora installation and installed and configured OpenBSD to my usual desktop, Xfce. I'm typing this now on the tablet, everything is working except it doesn't detect the secondary battery or the digitizer pen. I can live without the keyboard's battery gauge as it is always secondary to the tablet's battery anyway, and I never use the pen so that's no loss. No Bluetooth either but that's a given with OpenBSD on any hardware.
Needless to say I am thrilled and amused, and I'm going to keep OpenBSD on this thing out of pure spite.

Have you ever picked a lock?
edit: a practice lock is any lock that you were picking purely for practice which was not securing anything. a lock in the wild is a lock that was in place to actually secure something (love locks count)

@eniko yeah, a (really really cheap) safe I had some documents I needed for the next day and I couldn't find the key, time for practicing the thing I watch on youtube! So I guess it counts as a practice lock.

@eniko A coworker managed to lose the key to his office drawer inside the drawer itself (I don't remember how), so I tried to pick it and succeeded (it was a fluke, I never managed to do it again even though it's a very low quality lock).
That time the card reader on the office maglock malfunctioned and the backup control was inside the office was more interesting. I had to cut a wire to get in (I chose a red one for tradition), don't know if it counts as picking a lock or not.

@eniko 100 years ago, @steggy was doing geology field research (ok, she’s not THAT old, but it was a long time ago). There were these sample stations in a state park and we were supposed to drive up an access road to get to them and collect some readings. The park officials knew all about this (it was in conjunction with the local university). They were supposed to leave the gate unlocked at the beginning of the access road. They didn’t.
So it was either a several mile hike on foot, leave and come back later, or I could just pick the master padlock on the gate. It’s a master padlock. C’mon. So, yeah, a few seconds later we had the gate open and we went and gathered the readings. Left the gate locked, just like we found it. This was ok because it was in the name of science! 😛

@eniko not pin and tumbler locks, but I’ve successfully extracted the code from two different multiple-dial locks, one a Master padlock and one an official Xiaomi scooter lock. Just close your eyes, apply some pressure, and think really hard about what you’re feeling.

@eniko In school I once used a ruler to open the lock on a window in the second floor because the teachers did not allow ventilation of those rooms in the summer.. not sure if that counts as "picking" as I'm unsure wether that counts as "securing" something if I can open it with a ruler :D

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about lockpicking it came up that they have never picked a lock. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never picked a lock.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life picked a lock.
Have you picked a lock?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.

@eniko Yes, and I (we) succeeded.
My nephew had somehow locked an old door, so we took two pieces of scrap metal and fixed them inside, and after about 45 minutes of trying and even practicing on a sibling lock, we managed to turn it twice and it was unlocked. We even tried (while the door was ajar) to open it again, and learned more about the mechanism and succeeded in that too.
I might have done something similar earlier in life, but I don't remember.

Once my friends and I found a locked filing cabinet so naturally we picked it, hoping to find some exciting classified documents or whatnot.

alas, sometimes it's about doing things slowly, eventually correctly, and with insults and hard work 😑

you cant hide app text labels in the default launcher
the notifications screen is combined with the control center
some ui elements dont fit properly in their containers (e.g. truncated text like "dont distu..."), and spacing can feel off
there is unnecessary reflow, opening a simple app like the calculator i can actually see the ui rendering piece by piece
the interface sometimes feels like its built from mismatched lego blocks that dont always fit together cleanly
adaptive brightness reacts too quickly, with noticeable abrupt changes
scrolling feels less natural (though i will probably get used to it in a few days)
built in apps lack consistency, there are too many different implementations of the same ui elements, like context menus
i get that the android ecosystem gives developers more freedom, and that is exactly why im using grapheneos, but the trade off is a less cohesive, consistent ui
