@waldoj I had the same experience today! While I have been on here for years, now I find myself checking here before Twitter.

I keep seeing people saying that they can't figure out Mastodon, and I kinda wonder if some of that is that it *feels* weird that you don't already know who to follow. Starting from scratch is tough.

I had a bit of that myself, but once I had found a small "starter" group of people to follow who were using it, the joy of this kind of thing came back quickly.

I'm really good at making typos so I revisited the text-completion support in 's osk-stub and added a completer based on the library and trained it with a German text from @gutenberg_org and was surprised how well that works. 1/2

Twitter Layoffs 

After another long #debugging session with the #librem5 , I decided to publish a comprehensive tutorial for remote graphical debugging with #QtCreator.

May you suffer less, compared to plain #GDB.

*New live hack demo video*
CNN’s Donie O'Sullivan asked me to hack him again at DEF CON
— hacked him last time through service provider call center attacks, but this time I intruded using the easiest method: reused passwords found in data breaches.

We added a new option in called Restricted Boot that only boots self-signed kernels and distro-signed ISOs. I talk about how we approached this feature at length in this blog post: puri.sm/posts/introducing-pure

@jhamner There is a great technology museum in Paris that has a whole room devoted to the technology of weaving. It also has an original silk portrait of Jacquard he made on his invention and used for demos.

@jhamner Easiest way is to perform a search for a hashtag and then "Pin" it so it shows up as a column.

@jhamner Thank you! I haven't yet had the pleasure of working with any sort of Dobby or Jacquard loom yet, just my standard 4-harness Jack floor loom and my rigid heddle. One day when I have more space I'd love to have either a full-featured Glimakra draw loom or a Dobby so I can do more complex patterns.

Is it weird that I don't know how to knit, but I want a machine (like a Brother KX-350, but a KH-930e would be cool too)?

How to do threads... 

@shawnp0wers And in the case of librem.one we even take it a step further and disable timelines so you only see content you explicitly opt into, and DMs because they aren't private. It's a pretty controversial stance in this community and you definitely trade off some positive benefits to avoid the negative. I guess in our case folks who don't care for our approach have plenty of alternative instances they can join.

@shawnp0wers There are certainly a number of features that are intentionally missing because even though they can have a legitimate positive use, the feeling is that the risk and likelihood of negative use is higher. Same goes for instantly viewing # of likes/boosts on a post in the timeline. It is considered to encourage negative social behavior.

Hi and welcome! 👋

I'm Gina aka foosel. I'm a nerd, full-time open source maintainer and creator of OctoPrint ("the snappy web interface for your 3d printer"), and in my free time I also happen to game (video games and boardgames), bake bread (since before the pandemic even!) or go bouldering.

@crashbox @shawnp0wers I like them quite a bit. The charging speeds are particularly nice on both the ones I have--the Delta can pull a kW to charge at times which was handy when I had to recharge it at a campground bathroom! I don't know what that does to longevity though.

Tomorrow 11/2 at 11:30AM EDT: I'm joining a panel of experts in DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) for some lively discussion around and frontiersdigitaldevforum.com/a
