If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

📈 Donations through Liberapay have jumped up a bit this week, as hundreds of you have started financially supporting the Mastodon and other Fediverse instances you have accounts on. As a result, we've reached new all-time highs: the number of accounts actively giving or receiving money through Liberapay has crossed the 10k threshold, and the weekly sum of active donations has risen above €15k.

Your Mastodon feed won't improve through passive engagement. There is no algorithm to suggest and share what you liked.

You must actively follow different people to see what they boost, and you must boost for other people to see. Some people are from different servers. You will see more of what they see organically. You can also hashtag to increase visibility.

There is no quote retweet either. You have to actively engage and comment in the thread.

🐧📜 Looking for Linux kernel posts on the #Fediverse?

Here's a list of Mastodon profiles that I follow. You can import this CSV file into your account and then view the list feed yourself:

an interesting aspect of LS1028A is that unlike the i.MX8 family, it does not need binary firmware to initialize DDR4. you only need firmware if you want to use eDP. it has plenty of PCIe address space, so you could couple it with a simple 2D GPU to achieve a blob free system.

Just got my MNT Reform 2 operators handbook. This thing is mint! superb work by @mntmn and associates. Can’t wait to to get my hands on the DIY kit.

What is your preferred option to donate to an open source project?

Like Facebook, it turns out @Twitter has also used users' phone numbers provided for security reasons for advertising purposes.

Another example of why companies should not rely on SMS for 2-factor authentication, but instead use apps like @Authy. https://help.twitter.com/en/information-and-ads

@mike thanks for a nice manual.
Replacing Pi with @olimex's #Lime and using #Mycroft it would be rather nice #DIY open source hardware and software #smartspeaker.

3D print a custom case for it and it might not even look to be DIY anymore.

I was working on #3dprinted #enclosure for @olimex #Lime2

The SATA port does not fit as neatly as it could and the board is actually attached to the box with just one screw, but it works. 🙂

If anyone would like to print their own box or even better improve it, move the holes for ports and screws by a few milliliters, so they will fit more tightly, let me know and I will upload the #STL and #OpenSCAD files on GitLab, FramaGit or somewhere.
