@thecannaisseur the EU is constantly trying to break encryption with their "chat control" movement, just hosting yet another centralized instance of #Signal will not solve the real problem, we need a decentralized resilient messenger like #DeltaChat, #xmpp, etc.

OK, writers! Starting a new writing project. Any alternatives to Scrivener that are FOSS and work on Linux? I also need to be able to add end/footnotes and have them be exported.

Boosts appreciated!

@box464 Some advice for the over-domained.

It's a perfect summary of my own toughts about it as well! Waiting for the video ...

@adele any particular favorite CLI/TUI tools recently?

I recently discovered helix editor and have been enjoying that. (And already miss a lot of its keyboard navigation when I’m back in other editors.)

And I started using jj-vcs as a better git client.

When I write scripts for myself these days, I use Deno because you can easily include dependencies in a single file. I recommend https://jsr.io/@david/dax for easy shell scripting and prompting.

I released my tool for serving #gemini text over http.

https://jsr.io/@nfnitloop/gemi

It’s very simple. But that’s partly the point.

Watch Queen’s Brilliant Live Aid Performance: It Happened 40 Years Ago Today (July 13, 1985)

No-AI and solid end-to-end encryption is the new tech hype.

If you don't invest heavily in solid end-to-end encryption, privacy-protective and No-AI features, you will be left behind. People might even laugh at you.

Tell everyone.

I set up a #prosody #xmpp server, and I liked it. I tested both Linux and Android clients. I hit a wall getting people self-registered via #iOS. Self-reg works on #monal, but confuses the users with the default server so they always screw that part up. Even once logged in, I can't really recommend it. #snikket would have been perfect, but it obscures the usernames in group chats so as to be functionally useless. #siskin fails on self-registration, but everything else about it is good.

I'm a Debian user and supporter and have been for longer than many of the folks I follow here on Mastodon have been alive. Yeah, I'm old. Shut up! 😂

Anyway, this blog post by @markpitblado is great and hits on many of the reasons why I've been a Debian user for so many years.

Anyone running @gotosocial know why I might be seeing a lot of posts with images missing and instead messages like this:

> Note from <server>: 1 attachment in this status was not downloaded. Treat the following external link with care...

and in the log, lots of messages like this:

> func=dereferencing.(*Dereferencer).fetchStatusAttachments level=WARN msg="partially loaded attachment: processMediaSafeley: error loading media https://blablabla.social/xyz.jpg: store: error draining data to tmp: context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout or context cancellation while reading body)"

Dites les gens, si vous deviez acheter un nouveau nom de domaine aujourd'hui (pour faire une adresse mail et héberger des services en sous-domaines), à quoi vous feriez attention pour choisir le TLD ?

Je voulais un ".net" mais je me ravise car en tant que personne trans, j'ai peur du futur de la gestion des domaines par les organismes américains.

J'ai pensé à un ".fr" pour être plus safe mais on ne sait pas comment ça va tourner en 2027, là aussi je voudrais pas qu'un gouvernement d'extrême droite décide de me sucrer mon domaine parce que j'ose exister.

Reste le ".eu" mais je trouve ça moche (ouais c'est un critère nul) et toujours dans la même veine je me demande si l'Union Européenne va survivre au fascisme qui s'installe.

Est-ce que mes peurs sont infondées ? Est-ce qu'il y a d'autres pistes à suivre ?

Boost fortement apprécié !

@adele Someone created a font for the symbols, too. https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/creative-commons-unicode-fallback-font.html

Takes a bit of work to get them working on a page, but they do work.
