Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It’s the only nerd conference I’ve ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It’s got style and pizzazz.
That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: “You are a nerd.”
Well shit. It’s got me dead to rights on a couple of these.
This is terrific. Thank you for starting this discussion.
I don’t think we can or should wait for individual users to make these decisions. Server admins are the ones who understand the risks and so should make this call. Guidance for server admins based on past experience (cough XMPP!) should be quite welcome.
I might refine the bit about altered API versions to really focus on the real problem: proprietary extensions. We probably want to leave the door open to try out additions to the spec that come with detailed RFCs.
But we know from XMPP that proprietary extensions are a huge problem.
I’m planning the same.
That is true.
Let’s not defederate from every corporate player. Some of them can probably respect reasonable rules of civility.
But fuck Meta. We already know how this plays out.
We know there’s a huge wave of hatred and misinformation incoming. We’ve seen it on their other platforms.
Yeah. I’ll switch to an instance that is defederated from Threads, if mine doesn’t.
I left Meta’s other properties to avoid state sponsored hate speech. I won’t use a platform that gives hate speech a platform.
I don’t need to wait to know if Meta will do that. I already know.
Agreed. PornHub is probably a pretty solid representation of all web traffic. --Todo: insert obvious joke here–.
I missed the “PornHub” in the corner at first. Maybe I won’t share this with colleagues…
Oh hey, thanks! I never particularly wanted any of my apps to route around the VPN, but there the option it is under Advanced, when split tunneling is enabled. Could be handy. Thanks!
If you’re interested in that level of control, it’s time to look hard at GrapheneOS. “Internet” is a permission you can grant or deny for each app, under GrapheneOS.
But I’m not aware of a way to selectively direct phone traffic through Proton VPN, at the phone. Even on GrapheneOS.
Enough skill with an expensive router could do it, but only on your home network, or only while routing all of your phone traffic back to your home network via yet another VPN.
Edit: TIL, Proton VPN supports split tunneling. Sweet! Look under Settings - Advanced - Split Tunneling - then pick your apps to include/exclude.
Edit 2: TIL DivestOS also supports “Internet” as a per app Permission. Very cool.
Narrator: They did not.
Ooh. This would make a great tradition, here. Count me in.
Edit: LibreOffice. Good call. Done.
I assume you mean to check on his often they’re is the breaking changes? :)
Declarative style isn’t perfect, but it’s a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.
I think you’re looking for Ansible. Have fun!
The difference between an Anible playbook and a script, is Ansible has a ‘check’, ‘change’, ‘verify’ pattern, and is declarative (meaning that once the playbook is made, it tends to keep working on future versions of Ansible.)
I actually did this once…I swear there was a good reason. I promise it wasn’t anywhere that mattered.
Edit: I think it was a personal journal repo that I wanted daily versions of, but couldn’t be bothered to actually check in.
I was being more evil than that, saying that if one is gonna push direct to main, might as well maximize the possible damage to everyone else’s branch.
Well that’s about half my commit messages that are going to be nonsense on weekends projects, now. Thank you!
And a Python developer is born!
Source: I moved on from an abusive relationship with JavaScript to a healthy not-at-all-controlling equal partner relationship with Python. And four spaces makes perfect sense, once I really considered Python’s point of view…
