OMG, now them naming it FIDO makes a lot of sense! 😲

@catto
It's good until you get addicted and realise that not getting any sleep for five days straight probably isn't that much fun 😈

@Kancept
For both I have my own sets of patches to make them look… less like a blast from the past — with colour emojis you can spice up any UI! this is what tut looks like on an old ThinkPad of mine: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/112988783753634643
And here is Bloat on my old Lumia: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/112214024764622399
As tut doesn't display images — but you can invoke your favourite image view if you like, and Bloat is self hosted — so I can do whatever I want with CSS, I'm quite comfortable browsing the Fediverse at night!

@Kancept
Some of the computers I use are… I can of course call them retro to make it sound cooler, but in fact they are just old and anemic — so I mostly go for minimalism 😄
I like using tut — check it out if you like TUI software: https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/
Or Bloat frontend: https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat/ — which uses basic HTML with optional and very minimal JavaScript, it even runs on my old Windows 10 Mobile phone!

@thatguyoverthere
I hope it does! At least that is what my plan was 😈

No one expects him to be particularly competent, I think he doesn't fully understand the situation yet — much less how to deal with it. But Trump is able to act unpredictably — something Pooteen expects only he himself can do.
Ordering the Tomahawk strike on Syria, or this drone strike killing top Iranian commander: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/02/middleeast/baghdad-airport-rockets/index.html
Some, myself included — and I'm hardly a Trump sympathiser, expect him to do something like that again, something that would shake the table🤷

@Kancept
Ha-ha-ha, yeah — I'm mostly a desktop guy myself so I tend to forget about the "app" side of things.
Using a browser is an option, but last time I checked I didn't like Masto's mobile web UI — sidebar on the right taking too much screen space and other minor details like that. Again it's possible to fix with CSS injections, but using a dedicated app is more comfy for a lot of people and integrating proper "night more" would sure be welcome!

@gemlog
Yeah, I totally like your approach — computers are fun, but once you start doing that all day everyday, eventually you start hating it — at least that's how I usually ended up with: having a good job and making good money, but burning out — and taking to take an extensive break, which I could afford. It's fun, but I don't think this can go on indefinitely.
Being able to work outdoors, doing physical work, is good — but it's hard to maintain proper balance once you get a desk job.

@gemlog
It would certainly take time to adapt, but I'm open to learning whatever language I have to and culturally I'm quite openminded.

@gemlog
I have a few friends who moved to Germany and they like it there. Again, I wouldn't mind if I get a good job — having friends to hang out with is also a plus, but somehow this still doesn't sit right with me — probably due to German political establishment and their role in failing to act decisively and stopping this disaster.
I have friends in Spain too and they like the warmer climate, but I'm not a fan — but again, I probably wouldn't mind, I'm not picky 😅

@gemlog
Depend on where I would be able to secure a job — beggars can't be choosers😅
For me getting a job I would be comfortable with is more important than… location.
Originally I was aiming for Poland — culturally not too different, but now I doubt it would be possible, or in the foreseeable future, I don't expect everyone to be hostile, but it's still hard to avoid being prejudiced, especially for Poles. Same goes for Baltic states I think…
So Western Europe most probably 🤷

You mean c@t.net terminal, so you? 😺

@lss @romin @vertka
…and has access to top-secret zero-day vulnerability acquired from the KGB! 😱

@vertka
Good idea, I think it would be greatly appreciated 😏
@romin

@vertka @romin
No, you should try it at the office, preferably updating all servers and client workstations at the same time: systems crashing, fires breaking out, numerous human casualties — fun! 😈

@gemlog
Nah! I'm currently unemployed and living in the city I don't have to go out much — unless I do it on my own volition. It's only raining here — it did snow a couple of times, but it fails to stick yet. This type of weather: neither raining, nor snowing, nor clear — botches my sleep schedule and I'm in this permanent state of half-asleep half-awake — not great, but I'll be fine.
Good luck with your routine!

@gemlog
Sounds nice! I'll check it out too — thanks again!

@gemlog
I mean sure, it adds an extra layer of security — as they (supposedly) do not store your messages in the clear, this makes using SMTP and IMAP impossible, but if you do need them, it's an extra hassle.

@gemlog
It's one of the motivations behind switching to self-hosting for me — to be able to use it with DeltaChat, as with Proton I'm unable to — they aren't providing direct SMTP access, only via their own proton-bridge, which is intended to be run locally — and running it on a phone doesn't sound like a good idea 😅

@gemlog
Did you ever try DeltaChat — the thing that adds an IM-like interface to e-mail?
They have developed a set of scripts to help people self-host e-mail serviced compatible with it: https://github.com/deltachat/chatmail
They expect the distro of your VPS to be systemd-based so I probably won't be able to use it as is, but essentially, they are just deploying dovecot and postfix and I intend to do something similar.
