@cassidyjames Unrelated, but what app do you use to boost to mastodon from Twitter?

i've spent my entire life practicing sleeping every night, and i still suck at it

Sometimes it feels like "Game of Thrones" premiered, like, a million years ago. Remember the original title sequence?

Game of Thrones finale 

the tech industry has a really bad habit of just accepting what everyone else is doing as Legit(tm) and not thinking about it, inadvertantly contributing to absolute garbage being propagated everywhere

@Gargron I mean there is a whole lot of people who self-hosts mastodon!

@jalcine it doesn’t really, .eth is on a different root than the rest of DNS. Also Ethereum has a (prototype) light client protocol, so one can fetch only the information required for a lookup from peers. It’s probably better for privacy to have the whole ledger pulled though.

I just love telling the story of how federation works with #ActivityPub by showing a #Peertube video feed in Mastodon, commenting under a video, hen viewing my comment under that video on the Peertube instance.

Anyone knows what’s up with forking mastodon? Sounds like a shitshow coming up...

NASA is going to the moon again! nasa.gov/specials/moon2mars/ I wonder how much this will actually help to get us to Mars, and if maybe we can’t get to work on going to Mars directly because of a lack of budget.

@joao @todd Worked as is! I did have already a bunch of python libs already preinstalled for work though. It defaulted to somewhere pretty far away from me, so I changed the proxy url to another one here (privateinternetaccess.com/page ) and that also worked directly too. Could the script install every option in one go? That would have been convenient!

@joao @todd Very nice! That's exactly what I needed. It works great on my Ubuntu 19.04.
