You know what I'd love to get more of in fiction #Submissions for the #LesbianHistoricMotifProject podcast? Stories set outside the white/European/USA default, written by authors with personal connections to their topic.

For instance, there's a fascinating history of female same-sex love in the medieval Islamicate world. I'd love to see those stories.

$0.08/word for up to 5000 words is $400 -- think about it.

Comme ces clients tiers Twitter, les bots du réseau d'entraide santetoctoc.medica.im , qui regroupe 8845 professionnels de santé et étudiants en santé, dépendent de l'accès à l'API de Twitter.

@nicoco oh si ça serait nettement plus pratique et d'ailleurs j'en ai créé un avec Discourse, tout pro de santé vérifié sur Twitter y a directement accès via oauth, mais une centaine de personnes ont testé et puis ont deserté.
La valeur ajoutée de twitter, c'est le graphe social et le fait qu'il y a plusieurs raisons d'y être pour un pro de santé: se tenir informé, suivre des confrères du monde entier, suivre les agences officielles et en même temps répondre à des questions doctoctoc...

Now the first "public beta" of my little "adbsync" script is tagged and available at

codeberg.org/izzy/adbsync/rele…

Should be stable enough to be released to the public (though its code was public from the very beginning). adbsync lets you sync directories between your #Android device(s) and your (#Linux) PC without any special app, just utilizing things like rsync, adb, adbfs – and jq (to parse the JSON config file).

Give it a try, feedback welcome :awesome:

@floppy adbsync does not use any "rooted features". It uses adbfs-rootless (sic!) to access the Android file system, and some (rootless) ADB calls to adjust timestamps (when syncing TO the device, as adbfs doesn't support all attributes). Depending on the directory size, it' not the fastest (I e.g. notice syncing my TiBu/Seedvault backup directories always takes several minutes even when just synced 5 minutes before).

@floppy (2/2) but then, high performance is not on the top of my list, reliability is. Once I'm satisfied all is working as it should (which meanwhile seems the case, hence the tag; I even dared enabling deletion with one-way syncs) I'll set up a nightly cron job at e.g. 4 am. No need to watch it live. Devices connected at the time will be synced, and I can watch the logs anytime later if I wish to.

Adebar: great, take a look at the example docs it generated: izzy.codeberg.page/adebar/

I think it's a pretty elegant solution to use adbfs for elaborate syncing. I tried to go that direction in the past, but I think my old hardware got in the way in the end.

I had a look at adbsync and I like it a lot! I had some minor issues (details follow), but it seems to be working nicely. Pretty impressive you went all the way through directory tree traversal and working around the timestamp limitations!

I had problems with spaces and special characters in filenames when syncing and could get it fixed by adapting sync2dev() a little.

termbin.com/w1ls

I still get some strange rsync errors, but they don't seem to impact anything.

rsync: [sender] readdir("[local-path]/[android-path]/."): Input/output error (5)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1326) [sender=3.2.4]

@floppy 1) don't use spaces in names, they always cause trouble
2) could you please put that into an issue in the repo, or a PR?
3) yes, those errors happen when syncing TO the device, Guess why I had to work around that with some special rsync options and manual timestamp adjustments 🙈 That's caused by adbfs, see github.com/spion/adbfs-rootles…

Timestamps are lost when copying to device · Issue #59 · spion/adbfs-rootless

When copying files over adbfs to the device, timestamps are lost – the file shows up as were it just created anew on the device. This happens even when explicitly specifying to keep timestamps (e.g...

That is really true, at least as far as only the actual account creation is concerned.

But before that I wanted to settle on some kind of way of handling my online identities. For privacy reasons I want to keep different interests, stuff to be put online (so much), and social interactions deliberately dissociated. As for in this case, I haven't completely settled on e.g. a proper online name for the nerdier interests. ("floppy" is nice, but wasn't intended to be final. 🙂)

I haven't made it to Codeberg yet, so in the interest of not delaying it until I forget, I'll drop some thoughts here quickly. I hope that's ok. :)

In terms of documentation, I think it might be good for people less familiar with rsync to point out that in the config's .devices[].sync[].{devdir,pcdir} should keep the trailing slash. (Or some handling in the script might be nice.)

I prefer to log to stdout only, which afaict is the unspecified option. If you think this might be interesting to others, this functionality could be documented explicitly. :) (Alternatively maybe logging to a file, but really these are just some pointers without acute need.)

I'm pretty swamped at the moment, so I might need a few more days, but I'll give adbsync a more thorough test and get back to you in a while!

@floppy log to stdout only: "logfile":"none" – and maybe 2>&1 if you really want to re-route errors there too. And yes, that is documented explicitly – see inside the doc/ dir 😉

Logging to a file: Sure, same thing and also documented: "logfile":"/path/to/logfile". Everything that's not just empty, "none" or "syslog" is expected to be a file name.

@floppy with the latest commit, adbsync makes sure devdir & pcdir have a trailing slash (if not it adds it), so docu must only point out it must be dirs (not a file name) – so it's your last wish I just implemented :awesome:

Further, no longer adjusting timestamps on push. Guess what I just discovered: "adb push" supports a `--sync` parameter only pushing newer files & taking care for timestamps. "adb pull" unfortunately does not support that or rsync+adbfs would only be needed for "--delete"…

I am not subscribed to many issues or projects, but incidentally I am for adbfs-rootless (for a long time actually) and incidentally I found your comments in my email inbox today. :)

Thank you for the update also! adb's parameter sounds like good news, at least partially. Maybe they fix the "pull" sub-command too some time.

Thanks for taking care of the trailing slashes! 😉 I think other people checking out the project will benefit greatly there. :)

Let's pour one out for third-party Twitter clients:

Apps that shaped UI conventions, pioneered a market, and in many ways reinvented how we communicate online – unceremoniously killed off by a clown who thinks he's the smartest guy around because he has money.

These apps didn't deserve to end up like this.

Honestly Twitter’s been going that direction for years. It’s the reason awesome applications like TTYtter stopped being developed. Sure, the community picked up the slack when TTYtter’s developer got sick of Twitter’s crap and left, but as far as I can tell, even development on Oysttyer has stalled for years. Yes, it does suck, but it’s really just business as usual for these walled garden, nonfederating companies. Look at the state of Facebook’s API. These days it’s practically useless unless you’re using it to try to talk people out of money, which is why fbcmd is gone and nothing has really been able to replace it.

Twitter apps are still broken and Musk is still silent! News about Twitter integration in Friendica?

@Friendica Support

It’s been a few days since pretty much every major third-party Twitter client broke, and developers say they still haven’t heard anything from the company about what’s going on. The issues seemed to begin on Thursday evening, with some users reporting that they were getting errors related to authentication.

Is anyone experiencing issues with Twitter integration in Friendica?

The next alpha of 0 A.D. will feature an experimental Vulkan backend! It took 1.5 years of refactoring to get there but it will open new opportunities in the future!

You can test it and report bugs by downloading the development version of the game.

Vulkan - new graphics API

I was doing different refactorings of our engine for last 1.5 years. It's allowed me to add a new backend (graphics API) - Vulkan. It's relatively new API (as D3D12) which allows us to have a more predictable and stable performance.
