@prologic@twtxt.net :) Nuked the one here too, now.

Assuming you see this as anything more than yet another place to put your lame attempt at advertisement. :/

@support Hey, welcome! I see you’ve also created an account on @prologic@twtxt.net’s pod (i.e., the mother-ship of our little corner of the world ;) ). Just so you know, you only need one account, on any pod, in order for you to put messages out for others to read and follow, and for you to follow theirs in return. :) Any questions, just ask!

👋 Hello @oliviaava@twt.nfld.uk, welcome to nfld, a Yarn.social Pod! To get started you may want to check out the pod’s Discover feed to find users to follow and interact with. To follow new users, use the ⨁ Follow button on their profile page or use the Follow form and enter a Twtxt URL. You may also find other feeds of interest via Feeds. Welcome! 🤗

Didn’t even make it to a main road before I had a wheelie bin’s worth picked up. Pretty disgusted, to be honest, but I’m sure it’ll make the school run more pleasant tomorrow.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, both. She was still coughing a lot last night, but she’s been full o’ beans today; already been out to a friend’s party this morning, and showing no signs of slowing down this afternoon. Kids, eh? ;)

Belting out classic Billy Joel while automating my database backups, glass of white in hand and roast in the oven. Life is good, folks.

Anyway, that’s enough for tonight. Daughter’s still poorly, and’ll be up afore the hour’s done, I’m sure. 😪

Tell you what: this demo is just my speed; exactly what I need to get a feel for it, and, more importantly, to build up my confidence.

@bender@twtxt.net It’s a valid question. I just didn’t do it regularly? I was confused by the different formats? I read conflicting advice about whether things could still be running? Databases, writ large, are a bit of a boogeyman for me? End of the day, so far, this seems to be just enough validation / certification plus automation to get me over the line; seems to be. We shall see.

Familiarising myself with pgbackrest. Need to make sure this extended service outage isn’t repeated.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wow. Amazing sights (when you weren’t worried about cracking your head, it seems)! ;)

Pretty sad about the state of affairs around buying music (and at least feeling somewhat confident that the artist is getting a good part of my custom). I still actually have an independent shop in my town, surprisingly, but they’ve had to specialise in specific oldies, and vinyl, for the most part. (I tried to get actual CDs of the music for the new Dune movie through them, and they tried, but failed, to source discs.) (I’ve got an HMV too, for now, but that’s hardly a place where you feel the artists get their due.) And today I’ve just tried to buy Einaudi’s music from his site, and they want €27 for shipping a couple of discs from Italy to the UK. So, Bezos’ gaff it is. Bandcamp is a nice (but niche) counterpoint to this; I have the same handle on that platform, btw.

Ha ha 👍 My pleasure, mate – honestly! Bit of a freakish love of copyediting. 😅

Submitted! (PR 20, fyi.)

@bender@twtxt.net lol. Well, check back in a month! (And to be clear, the services were run on a motley crew of small and old hardware, not just one Pi. :) I bet I could’ve pushed one to do most of it, though, all the same!)

@prologic@twtxt.net Wow, awesome! Thanks, both! Looking forward to the spoils of ‘23! ^×^

@prologic@twtxt.net I see. At the risk of jinxing it, the scammers seem to have moved on from my pod. But, yeah, you know they’ll be back, so requiring that little bit of effort to ask for an invitation is probably worth it. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net In effect, yeah. Lost some twts despite not much time between; wondering whether I should’ve taken advantage of those job functions for pod owners first, to sync the backend, for example.

@codebalion@twtxt.prismdragon.net Here’s hopin’ it’ll be behind you soon. 🤞🙏

@you_are_stupid@twtxt.net Charming

BBC - Paramedics say people are getting ill because their homes are so cold

They’re sitting there [and] you can’t get a temperature off them because they’re so cold…

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde - Scotland’s biggest health board - had 170 people taken to hospital with hypothermia in that period, when temperatures plummeted to minus double figures in many areas…

Made decent progress over the last week with the homelab: all the services on the RPi 3A+ (including this pod!) have now been migrated elsewhere ahead of its rebuild. Then to focus on the other services that have languished (as folks like @bender@twtxt.net have rightly pointed out ;) ).

@support@twt.nfld.uk Interestingly, I too lost data / twts, but it isn’t immediately obvious because our peer pods seem to be replicating some or all of those.

Fyi, the service is now running on my RPi 3B for the time being, until I rebuild my RPi 3A+ on the Raspberry Pi OS Lite version based on Debian Bullseye. (They don’t support, or indeed recommend, any upgrade path from Buster to Bullseye, it seems.) But that will be for another day.

Pod / System update: there does seem to have been some data loss as a result of the recent re-homing of this service – including the warning issued from this account many hours prior! – but I’m hoping that, overall, the process hasn’t been catastrophic; please do let me know if you have experienced any issues, or indeed still are. Ta!

@prologic@twtxt.net Fyi, I’m working on a PR for the landing page; my strong suit, until I bone up on Go. ;)

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, right. To be fair, I haven’t gone the most direct route; comes from meeting your partner partway through and testing out the waters, as it were. ;)

Been over ten years now: exemption visa (ending 2013) ⇨ visitor visa ⇨ charity worker visa ⇨ charity worker visa extension (until early 2015) ⇨ fiancé visa ⇨ spousal visa / start of the ‘five year route’ ⇨ halfway point check-in (plus fees, obvs; 2017) ⇨ indefinite leave to remain visa ⇨ ? (citizenship 🤞)

@bender@twtxt.net Mate, even I find it hard to believe I’m not legit yet. Well, six months, at most, to go, fingers crossed.

Well, citizenship application is in. Now, the wait.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, neat. Ta!

Any recommendations on a good intro to webfinger? I’m guessing the Yarn.social support centres around pointing out the administrator account, yes? I’ve been working on getting websocket support up and running for my vaultwarden instance today, and just noticed some nodeinfo errors in my reverse proxy logs; I’m guessing that’s because I used to run a Fediverse instance (Pleroma) back in the day. Do nodeinfo and webfinger normally go hand in hand, or are all the search results about Nextcloud errors swaying my understanding?

But that is a line that I cannot cross; or not for a very, very long time.* Oops :P

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry for the late reply: yeah, bender’s right; crossing a line just means, in some regard (or many, in Greta’s case), you can’t go back. As an example, if I’d joined Just Stop Oil a few years ago, I’d now be faced with having to move my family to Canada, a lengthy (likely doomed to fail) appeals process, having to find a new job… But Greta is young; she probably isn’t too concerned about where she can or can’t visit or live, and she obviously feels very strongly about this cause. Frankly, I’m in awe of her, and wish her every success. But that is a line that cannot cross; or not for a very, very long time.

@prologic@twtxt.net I use Syncthing to sync passwords, dotfiles, tutorials, scripts…

@prologic@twtxt.net I think once you’ve decided to be arrested, you’ve crossed a line, you’re part of something bigger, and it’s the size of that body, globally, that really counts; less so what you’ve decided to stand in front of that day. We’ve got loads of Just Stop Oil people in prisons, for example, from last year; no one really remembers what they were arrested for; but they are being counted, to this day and every day, by a growing number of people around the world.

@gopherchat@magical.fish I like the humanist angle to some of that; don’t have much use for the rest of it, I’m afraid.

@prologic@twtxt.net H’m, missed that CircleCI news… Welcome to 2023; much like any year this millennium, in many ways. ;)
