You can log in to your #GoToSocial instance and use it like Mastodon :) All data is stored in the browser and on your own computer, masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.org doesn't store anything at all. It's like pinafore or semaphore in that regard.
I'll mess around with it more on and off as a hobby project, see if it can be customized + themed to feel a bit more like GoToSocial.
Did a bit more poking and prodding at this, so it now has #GoToSocial favicons and a few small wording changes, it assumes you have search enabled by default (as it's always enabled on GtS instances), and it reads your default post content type too
Will make more changes and write proper docs and stuff for it soon (tm), I'm mostly just playing with it now and familiarizing myself with the codebase.
I wanna also make the "local only" option set "local_only": true in the submitted status JSON rather than suffixing the status with an eye emoji, but that can be for tomorrow or so
Just to make it very clear: I didn't write any of this frontend stuff, it's a fork of Glitch (itself a fork of Mastodon) with some hacks written by the Iceshrimp devs to make it work standalone. Once I know more about how everything works I'll be able to make significant changes but for now I'm just pootling around with it.
still no intention of bundling this with GoToSocial or anything like that, as it's a very large frontend pack (like 100+MiB), but it might be fun to recommend this masto-fe fork alongside other clients like pinafore, tusky, feditext, etc
Anyway feel free to try it with your GtS instance :) Just don't report bugs to me because at the moment I don't care (unless it's accessibility related, in which case I do care)
Got blurhashes working nicely on masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.… by moving them from a server-side setting to a client-side setting, so you can go try that out now if you like :)
A reader found her father in a photo on the back cover of Isabel Wilkerson’s book Caste. The photo was of a crowd of people at the 1963 March on Washington. instagram.com/p/DD-f5CWyeyc/

Kind of a side-topic, and not related to curl, but this gave me a terrifying idea.
What if malicious actors submit vulnerability reports to make FOSS maintainers' lives harder, just to give themselves more time to exploit actual 0-days?
The xz utils incident was careful and long-term, but if someone does find a vulnerability and they're malicious, presumably they'll want to keep it unaddressed for as long as possible.
What better way to do that than distract everyone they can with AI-generated BS? Even if it buys them 30 minutes or an hour, that's time during which they could do damage.
@phil others have brought this up before and while I don't think it is an unlikely attack angle in general, I don't think this person is very good at it if that is what they want done! 😁
#38c3 is starting .... Infos about some scheduled delta sessions and a group invite for further maybe more spontaneous things at delta.chat/38c3 Please repost a bit ....and we'll see to write up some impressions and discussions afterwards in turn ... Our plans and roadmaps still have some fluidity and congress will likely modify 2025 intentions further :)
Teaching mathematics through informalism is like driving in a fog. One sees dim figures in the distance, and every once in a while some of them suddenly appear clearly, but usually everything is veiled and mysterious. It’s dangerous to drive in the fog, especially in a strange territory, and one must drive slowly. Even so, one may not always be sure where one is. Teaching rigor and precision, provided it is done without the veil of complexity interfering, burns away the fog, leaving everything crisp and clear and making it possible to drive faster and to enter uncharted lands.
When it is very clear what steps are legal, you can go further. Just like in programming, strong type systems will let you attempt things that you don't dare without them because you will probably fail somewhere without noticing.
So, you're using decentralized non-corporate-owned social media because you don't want your online identity and activity tracked and held by some corporation, and even possibly a government-influenced owner (TikTok?).
I've opened an #XMPP (#Jabber) messaging server, which is based on the same principles as whatever application you are reading this on. XMPP is completely decentralized, open source, free, and volunteer run.
Also, neither member identity nor messages are stored on the server. There is no centralized control over the network. You sign up by first choosing a server. Your ID looks like an ActivityPub ID (example: support@chat.between-us.online).
Besides end-to-end message encryption, there's optional #OMEMO on-device encryption. No centralized messaging app (other than Signal) offers an encryption option this strong. There's video calling, file transfer, and both public and private chat rooms/groups. There are many messaging applications available for all operating systems.
You provide no personally identifiable information when you sign up, not even an email address. You only pick your ID and provide a password (which cannot be changed or recovered as the server does not keep identity information, so don't lose it and be sure it can't be guessed). If you delete your account, through the messaging app, there is no record of your account having existed on the server.
If interested, you can sign up on the messaging application (use chat.between-us.online as the server) or via the website at between-us.online, which also provides additional information about XMPP and how to use it.
A note about #Matrix. Don't @ me about Matrix. This message is only to announce an XMPP (Jabber) server option. I am not advocating XMPP over Matrix. I use Matrix as well. It ticks all the same boxes. This is just an announcement about an XMPP server.

"how to create a stratum-1 NTP Server using a Raspberry Pi utilizing GPS and PPS, and get time within 100 nanoseconds of real time, directly from the atomic clocks located in the GPS satellites above your head. The best part about this guide is that this will work with no internet."
This post details how to create a stratum-1 NTP Server using a Raspberry Pi utilizing GPS and PPS, and get time within 100 nanoseconds of real time, directly from the atomic clocks located in the GPS satellites above your head.
also I'm a woman but I really felt the paragraph about the purpose of life becoming more relaxed. Not physically, I'm exhausted lol, but otherwise yeah what was I otherwise shooting for?
hm. That sounds sort of tragic. I'm no tradwife. And if people choose childlessness I think that's a perfectly good choice, if not actually *less* selfish!
I do definitely agree that there's power and contentment in working towards something outside of yourself, not for your own betterment.
That of course doesn't have to be kids, or military service, or religion. There are so many good things we can do.

This train just arrived from Poland. I wonder what speed limit applies there (not relevant since the track via Poland is so broken that it does not support more than 40 kmph anyway) and whether the Polish part between Germany and Czechia is considered German or Czech since the train is apparently not certified for Poland.
It is considered Czech. Here is the German version of the rules for the cross-border section I’m assuming you are referring to: dbinfrago.com/resource/blob/12…

Hi, all. My mom has been gone for nearly 15 years but her pies live on and our legend! She made the absolutely best pies in the whole world. So, I got brave and made my first pumpkin pies from scratch, including the crust. She had the old 1946 edition of the Joy of Cooking book. It comes in 30 volumes from BARD. I eventually found that old pie crust recipe that she used in that book. I followed the recipe on the can of pumpkin, adding in nutmeg. I also used cream instead of evaporated milk per one of the suggestions on the can. Tooting my own horn here, the pies were absolutely amazing. The secret is not handling the dough, using shortening and a little butter, and a little ice water for perfectly flaky piecrust. I used this wonderful Mrs. Anderson's piecrust bag. You shake your dough into a ball and place it inside the bag and zip it shut. Then, you can roll the dough inside the round bag . When you're done, you zip open the bag which lies flat, put the pie plate upside down over the dough, and flip it over. Awesome! Just thought someone might find this helpful! See link below!

Lemme translate this for you. When they say that the definition of an “AGI” is that it will generate “$100 billion in profits,” what they really mean is that they want “AGI” in order to avoid paying $100 billion to employees. gizmodo.com/leaked-documents-s…
