Btw we're still having a great time in the #aFediverseChat room on #Matrix: https://app.element.io/#/room/#afediversechat:matrix.org 🎉
There have been interesting discussions about topics like #foss, #federation, #opensource, #phones, #OS, but also non-tech topics and just general hanging out. Anyone can join. ☺️
Dissatisfied with the various offerings of the Fediverse, I decided to read the (current) prominent standard to see how it works. Now I understand why the UX across the Fediverse is so painful. ActivityPub and ActivityStreams do nothing to define a concretely interoperable set of services. They just list some open ended, and wholly optional, possibilities for what could be.
Released connchk v0.5.0 today, close on the heels of v0.4.0 and as a major refactor. The tool is now available as a #Rust library crate as well as a binary crate. To avoid breaking any existing user's TOML declarations there's an additional layer of abstraction, but now the full set of defined resources can be tested in parallel.
Released v0.4.0 of connchk today. Execution of TCP and HTTP connectivity checks now take place in parallel.
Released v0.1.5 of my minimalist tail-like utility staart. This version adds documentation for the underlying library crate, and removes a few unnecessary lines of code.
Your Phone Is Your Castle
"If your home is your physical castle, your phone is your digital castle. More than any other computer, your phone has become the most personal of personal computers and holds the most sensitive digital property a person has..."
Phosh Overview
"phosh is graphical shell for mobile, touch based devices like smart phones. It’s the default graphical shell on Purism’s Librem 5 (and that’s where it came to life) but projects like Postmarket OS, Mobian and Debian have picked it up putting it into use on other devices as well and contributing patches."
Friendly reminder to the #fediverse if you’re running #QubesOS and you split sys-net in two so you can have wireless and ethernet on two entirely different networks do yourself a favor and modify your update proxy settings so you can update your TemplateVMs.
I like to work with my hands. That may mean hammering out solutions to complex problems in #Python or #Rust, building things in my shop, or spinning yarn to knit something warm. You’ll likely see some of all of that here. By day (and sometimes night) I keep >13k nodes and services alive in the Electric Vehicle sector.
