I cannot remember the last time I heard the term "simplifying" in programming context without it meaning "by adding another layer of abstraction, therefore increasing the risk of mistakes and bugs and increasing complexity".
I never use "simplify" for that. 😬 When I "simplify" things, you can generally notice that tons of lines get deleted and only a few are added as a replacement.
Oh how often I see that with apps I try to check for Reproducible Builds. Using a 2 MB NodeJS Github action to insert 2-5 lines of code – e.g. by passing it versionName + versionCode to update it in build.gradle. Utilizing some Github internal counters for versionCode (which are hard to replicate from outside.
Yes, you then no longer have to remember updating the two in build.gradle. So it's "simplifying" I guess 🙈
@delta@chaos.social Is there any hope for chat moderation features? Personally, I am a streamer and I enjoy using your product and building a community there But I am very concerned that at some point I might let someone who is not very adequate into the chat and they will have the right to kick everyone out of the chat... It would also be very cool to have the ability to tag chat members
there is a new upcoming encrypted broadcast channel feature evolving where an admin controls the channel. By December there should be a blog post about more details. But could provide the basis for influencer/streamer use cases but also will take a while to be fully mainlined into apps in all platforms.

Chronofile is a personal time tracking app. With the help of its developer, it is now (starting with the 1.1.1 release which will go live in our repo with the next sync around 6 pm UTC) confirmed as Reproducible Build
I wonder how many of the reviewers on trustpilot and Amazon are *truly* happy that people now know not only their names and that of their newborn babies, but also the size of their nipples. Does it really matter? Is nipple diameter personal data under article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation?
Crazy thoughts that spin through your head after a few weeks of very broken sleep, but yes, the breast pump has packed in. I flooded one of our rechargeables - the mother-in-law and I have a bitter rivalry over which side of the sink is for dirty things: I argue the draining board is for clean drying things, and she seems to think wrongly. So that was half our portable pumping power down, although to be fair we've never drained the battery on the other motor yet. And this morning the electric pump she's been using also went pop. NO idea why.
So now I'm buried deep in flange sizes and nursing bra capacities.
On the weirder side, it was the first day of the year I got out of the shower to a warm towel, now the heating's gone on for baby. There's something inexpressibly delightful about a warmth on ones testicles after a cool shower.
Daughter is off to Spain with school tomorrow. Laughably, dropping her off at 4:45AM used to make me think of the sleep I'd be missing. The baby's put paid to that.
First day in a while we've had any serious rain, so we're all huddled up behind closed doors today.
I just sent off the last major TestFlight for my new Hacktivate app! 60 new challenges, plus some delightful surprises 😎 Sadly it's "Waiting for review" even though it's a beta 🥲 Anyway, if you tested it before keep your eyes peeled for the update! apps.apple.com/gb/app/hacktiva…
Crack codes. Break firewalls. Conquer the map.
Hacktivate is the ultimate cybersecurity challenge: a world map of 240 missions where every puzzle is built on real cybersecurity techniques hackers use.
@nuno_nuno If you would like to try the TestFlight, you’re welcome to do so - email paul@hackingwithswift.com! Although it’s been optimized for switch control, reduce motion, differentiate without color, etc, I think even the very first challenge will be very difficult using VoiceOver. It relies on the user noticing that a long string of characters ends with two equals signs, marking it as base64.

You can hold down Control, Up Arrow / Down Arrow and hit Space to select files non-contiguously in Windows, but is there a way to go inside a subfolder and do it without losing your selections in the parent folder?
No, you can only select contents from the folder you're in with the native file manager, whether that be individual files or folders and their entire contents. You can easily open a command prompt or power shell from your working directory though.

Tak po ránu jsem byl prubnout nové botky – zatím dobrý. Po letech běhání v Salmingách je to docela velká změna, na mě jsou až moc odtlumené. Ale zase jsem teď těžší, tak je to možná i lepší.
So it started a bunch of years ago with needing a basic expression evaluator for the MAME debugger. I found an article about infix-to-postfix conversion and wrote a simple expression compiler/executor based on the standard C operators and precedence. It supported a symbol table and allowed you to register functions that could be called to perform actions or get state.
Flash forward to the dawn of DREAMM and I needed to evaluate some expressions, so I ported/cleaned up the engine I wrote for MAME, with essentially the same functionality.
With DREAMM 4.0 I wanted to do more, and realized that if I could properly short-circuit the && and || operators, and add proper ternary ? : operator support, I could do quite a lot by combining those with the comma operator.
After doing that, I realized it was a small step to add actual if/else keyword processing, and support multiple statements via semicolons instead of the comma hack.
Then I realized that while loops were a pretty easy next step, and with some additional syntactic processing I could get C-style for loops working as well.
Of course, I soon found a need for break/continue support, so added those keywords next.
Then my scripts got complicated enough that I wanted to be able to define functions and call them (as opposed to calling external functions implemented by the engine). This need a bit more syntax, but was still a small step.
Functions should be able to have parameters, so the next step was parsing the names of the parameters and mapping them to the items being passed. And functions need to be able to return results, so explicit return keyword support was added.
And so at this point I've basically implemented a mostly complete C compiler/interpreter. 😜
If I knew this is where I'd end up, perhaps it would have made more sense to find existing code and use that, but at this point I'm kind of committed to my own thing. Also lets me control the behaviors to work like I want them to.
I feel like I'm using this place as my own personal help desk, but also, you have knowledge that I'm severely lacking in. I always end up learning useful basic stuff.
I have external HDDs for backups (WD Passports) I've had for a few years, and I'd like another one *just* to store photos and videos on. It doesn't need to do anything fancy. It will just be another location to store everything, like a backup, but also so all the media is in one place.
Is another Passport a good way to go because it's what I know? Is it a cardinal sin against technology to use that brand and there's a whole discourse I've missed out on about how they're secretly raising a pig army to lead the revolution? (Actually, I'm fully on board with this... Anyway...)
If there weren't so many photos, I'd print all of them out and have millions of physical photo albums. This might the next best thing. Do you have any advice beyond, "please don't purchase anything from Temu"? #hdd #AskFedi
I've been a fan of the Seagate BUP BK drives for years myself, I'm sure that these days, most drives are much of a muchness. If you're a happy Passport user and they've given you no trouble, probably safe continuing to be so. I found the one passport I had years ago, talking 2012 era, slower than a comparable Seagate of the same vintage, so I just never purchased Passport again. A very small sample, so don't take that as anything other than just my thoughts. It's not based in anything concrete as such.
@FreakyFwoof as a counterpoint, i've had bad deelings with seegate bup portable drives the seegate backup+ drives to be exact, incorrectable errors lots of them, this was a 4tb hdd. westen digital not wd, working like a champ. westen digital mobile 2tb smr drive. for my usecase, an smr drive works quite well.
@mhussain See? Totally different. I think drives are hard to quantify for that reason. I have 4TB and 5TB BUP drives connected to my NAS at the moment and both are doing well. They must be at least 5 years old each I think. Could probably check when I purchased. Either way there are definitely good and bad with every brand so it's just going to be whatever reviews show, and budget requirements at the end of the day.
@FreakyFwoof indeed, for regular usage, alot of file movings and such a non smr drive also knowne as a cmr drive is what you're looking for, an smr drive is normally for write once read alot situations such as backing up your machine to the drive.
@FreakyFwoof backblaze are a good source for drive health overtime granted, this is in an enviroment where the drives are powered on for most of the year, but a good idear will be gained as to which drive will serve well. backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-d…

ok my favorite feature of Bacula 15 is that you can now define Allowed Backup Directories on the File Daemons (clients) and have a rule on the Director that just says to backup everything by default, so then you can just tune it per-client.
If I want to change what gets backed up on my laptop next scheduled backup run, I don't have to touch the server.
@sun the UX is still stuck in the 90s and there's a lot of "if it ain't broke..." but it's crazy fast and reliable at its job with a ton of flexibility in how when and where your backups go
@sun I have the beginning of a custom Elixir client that could be used with LiveView but I got stuck at a spot with TLS upgrade with their custom communication protocol and didn't go back to it yet
There's basically no 3rd party tools that talk directly to the Director server because their protocol is not documented, it's whatever the existing client does. So I was gonna reverse engineer that with the help of Claude
Does doing it this way provide the server with the locally-defined policy that a given backup is intended to reflect(the way only using server-defined policy does sort of incidentally) or is knowing that up to you?
I can definitely see the utility for situations with deliberately lightly managed endpoints where backup is more of an offer; but in the shoes of the person being asked if The Policy is being applied to all 1000 clients I'd want to be real sure about that detail.
@fuzzyfuzzyfungus I get what you mean, but this is just way more useful for my personal backups where I can control what gets backed up without having to login to the server and change the configuration on the Director
The Morning Show is so well done, but there's a constant voice in my head saying "why does anyone give a shit about a drama about the inner workings of mainstream media"?
I don’t spend a lot of time on here telling you all how smart my kids are but today I was talking with my son about the idea of a “Third Place” and he mentioned how all these “coming of age” stories he’s read have kids "hanging out at the mall”, and what a weird, totally alien idea that is to him and his friends. “Did they even have places you could sit down or not buy anything then? None of us have money.”
If we don’t want kids staring at screens all day then maybe we should build a world where online multiplayer chat isn’t the only third space that teenagers have available to them.
Looking at the measles epidemic and thinking about how lucky we were to get indoor smoking bans, mandatory seatbelts and drunk driving laws enacted and generally accepted before Facebook and Twitter came along.
Imagine having either the stones or the complete lack of self-awareness you'd need to be working at Microsoft and telling customers you can only turn it off and turn it on again three times a year though.
I don't know if you have made many little helper scripts, but I name my clients after their FQDN so I have a script called "brestorefile" that takes a path to any file I want to restore and does it automatically
I was getting ready to deploy Amanda, and someone pointed me to Bacula. It was the Catalog (for others: a list of what's backed up, where, and when) which sold it for me. That, to me, was a fantastic feature.
It was simplemented (keeping that typo) in MySQL. So I wrote one for PostgreSQL, because that's what I used at home.
Why was I using PostgreSQL?
When writing the first parts of FreshPorts, I was using MySQL, because that's all I knew about for open source.
I was told about PostgreSQL. Oh wow, it has stored procedures, and functions, and relational integrity, all stuff which was missing from MySQL. This was a grown-up database and had features I was used to from my days of using Oracle, Sybase, ...
as Chief Bacula Officer do you have any FreeBSD experience with small tape libraries to share? Like LTO 8 slot autoloaders or similar. Or does everybody just put it in the 🤡 clowd now with an S3 style stream?
I have been using a 20TB archive zpool as a target for restic for this, but I would like actual tapes. I have some stuff also with tarsnap for stuff I absolutely can’t lose.
@dch I stopped using Restic because restoring files is too slow. Painfully slow. Sometimes far longer than 24 hours just to retrieve a small amount of data once your repo gets a certain size.
@dch with Bacula my backups can go nearly line rate over the network, it's great
additional note for ZFS: I hope they open source their new ZFS work. They added an intelligent mode to their enterprise offering that can directly utilize snapshots and diffs to find the changes instead of walking the filesystem
I don’t know when exactly it started happening, but at some point, @kde really became a phenomenal desktop environment again. Every release just feels so polished nowadays, and it’s a pleasure to use.
@feld It’s been really close for a few years now, but the gap seems to get smaller with every release. Just updated to the latest for my distro. It just feels like a no-brainer to go with these days.
@feld KDE Connect is super useful, and roughly compares to some of MacOS’es continuity features. I feel like if you set up Nextcloud and KDE Connect integration, you can get really, really close to a DIY iCloud + iMessage alternative.
I don't even think you need NextCloud, you could get by with just Stalwart which is much lighter and has all the modern email/calendar/contacts features
One of the big topics at our #NoTyrants protest in #Montreal was House Bill 5518. If like me, you've never heard of it, it's a US bill to negotiate cross-border law enforcement with Canada, including sending ICE agents and other US personnel across the Canadian border. If you're Canadian, please insist to your MP that we can't surrender our sovereignty and allow US law enforcement here. #HB5518
Just a quick note for the archives and for those of us who have hearing issues and need easy youtube transcripts with #a11y to #screenreaders. I've generally used downsub.com to produce text, but it's becoming less usable, often saying "waiting" for a minute or two before giving an error with no specifics as to what the problem is. I wanted something else and found something similar, if not slightly better, at youtube-transcript.io/ It allows 25 transcripts a month free, though I'm not sure how it tracks usage since I didn't have to sign in. Anyhow, it's quite simple, paste in your link, hit enter, and it comes back with a transcript in English for English videos. It appears to use the captions YT itself generates, since I compared the results with what I got from downsub and saw no difference. You can read the transcript on the page or copy it to the clipboard with a button, again on the page. It has 30 second timing markers by default when it's on the page, but doesn't when you copy it, at least by default. I'm still after an easy local transcript grabber, but this is a step forward when downsub doesn't work for me and I thought people might like to have it. #blind #braille
Generate YouTube transcripts instantly with our free tool. Extract and download video transcripts effortlessly. Perfect for accessibility, SEO, and content creation.
@clv0 Sorry, just to be clear, downsub is still working here as well, much of the time. I'd say it works a good half the time, if not a bit more. Sometimes it'll say "waiting" and in a few seconds, come up with the transcript. Sometimes it will come up with it immediately. Quite often, though, it'll just say waiting for a while then say "error". It's still usable, though, quite often, just not nearly always.
@clv0 If you wish for local downloading of subtitles, rather than outright transcription, yt-dlp can download subtitles using the --write-subs option, pick a format like srt or vtt, embed them in mp4 and mkv, and convert to other formats. It can fetch subs for multiple languages, use --list-subs on a video to get them. Note that live stream chat is a subtitle stream!
Are you tired of MacOS/iOS visuals changing every year or two? Do you hate Liquid gl(ass)? Were you unable to stop the (shat)tering? Do you struggle to see everything?
Introducing: VoiceOver! This brand grand new (tm) app makes every app and screen as samey as possible, and you don't even need your eyes to use it! Rest your eyes and listen to your apps instead. This screen reader reads everything to you, so you can drift off to sleep to the sound of your home screen, wake up to the narration of your lock screen, and even blank the screen so no one knows you're on Mastodon in work meetings! (Use Mona for best VoiceOver experience (seriously, it's the most accessible social media app for any platform))
Never have to deal with visual changes again! And if you find issues, like VoiceOver not working like it should, you can gleefully call a phone number and talk to a real, live, flesh and bread human!
Trying to summarise my thoughts on what it takes to build an alternative mobile OS. There's some very important and imho rarely discussed reasons why using anything that depends on AOSP is fundamentally a bad idea.
It basically boils down to culture and politics. The way Android is built and maintained is so fundamentally anti-free-software and anti-community. 1/8
Firstly, you're relying on a downstream kernel which is impossible to maintain beyond LTS (Some of the smartest folks in the community tried HARD and failed to actually forward-port Android kernels). This exposes you to a whole host of poorly tested codepaths and non-standard drivers which require a whole host of userspace workarounds.
AOSP itself is so vast and complicated that it's just never gonna be possible to escape the grip of Google. 2/8
To even build your own Android image you need to jump through a bunch of hoops, download hundreds of GB of source code and take >1 hour on even a beefy build machine with ~100GB of binary artifacts. There ARE benefits to having the entire OS source code locally IF you're building an OS the way Google do with many separate teams who work independently.
But this is never how healthy FOSS projects work, they rely on individuals showing up and working in harmony together, something which is just plain annoying to do with AOSP. 3/8
Then consider what happens if you need to modify a core part of the OS: You have to fork it, because Google do not care about your patches, and if they do it will take months to get them upstreamed (using gerrit of course!). 4/8
Let's consider a successful AOSP fork in Lineage OS, they do a pretty great job at maintaining infrastructure to build images for lots of devices at a fairly substantial cost. Their developer community though seem to tend towards individualism and "proving" yourself as a good developer before you get treated with respect. This is an understandable result of getting burnt out trying to help everyone who wants to make a port for their phone but just isn't cut out for the work. 5/8
Showing my obvious bias here, but let's compare this to postmarketOS. The requirements for space, performance, and network bandwidth are an order of magnitude smaller... The biggest thing you have to compile is the Linux kernel.
The "onboarding" process for postmarketOS developers often starts with a downstream port, where you boot using the original Android kernel. This often gets you just far enough to have ssh working but not a lot more. But importantly it gets your in touch with other developers in the community and it gets your familiar with our tooling. 6/8
After this, if you want to go further then you basically have to learn kernel development. This can be a huge challenge, but it's something our community encourage and write plenty of guides and documentation to help.
The fundamental approach is different: you don't have to be running a specific distro or install a bunch of tools, you just run pmbootstrap and it does everything for you. It creates template packages for you and guides you through every step of the process. Compare this to having to manually edit XML files, get acquainted with the repo tool, and wait potentially hours to clone all the git repos. 7/8
When it comes to creating a truly emancipatory mobile OS, it is beyond absurd to consider AOSP as the basis. I truly believe that Linux Mobile and decentralised development built on top of FOSS is the only way. The same goes for making it as simple as possible to onboard and teach new developers, the more knowledge is shared and the more people are skilled up the more resilient we become.
TL;DR: FSF please reach out and let us help you actually bring freedom to people! I can be reached at kcxt@postmarketos.org 8/8
Well… I did it. A friend and I are going to see Rush next August. It’s definitely the most I’ve ever paid for a concert ticket, but not completely insane.
I have an uncle who first learned to program in BASIC on early home computers in the 80s, when he was in his 30s or late 20s. Then in the early 90s, he started learning Pascal and GUI programming on an Apple IIGS. Then life happened, he didn't keep up with newer languages and platforms, and now he wants to get back into programming for fun, as time permits (he works 5 days a week in the electronics department at Walmart). He's started dabbling with Python. (continued)
He mentioned that he was trying to learn from a free book or course (I'm not sure which), by someone (I didn't recognize the name) who has pumped out lots of books or courses on many different topics. I suspect the stuff produced by this author is low-quality. I'd like to recommend a good introductory book or course on Python and Pygame. Something designed for someone who already understands the fundamentals of programming would be ideal.
Huh. No idea about pygame. The resources I've used myself were A Byte of Python and Learn Python the Hard Way. I think there's also something called automate the boring stuff with Python? Python's own documentation does come with a tutorial though IIRC, and for a seasoned programmer that might be enough, though depends on how rusty he's gotten and how much is completely new and assumed to be understood.
They have an official tutorial. Not sure how far he got in his journey, I think it may expect you to know what a class is for example, but it does exist and is of high quality.
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had open-source. We had right to repair. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork.
You could've shut your mouth, sold ethical, repairable laptops, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect.
But no, you just had to blow it up. You. And your pride and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.

When someone says of Trump's fascist moves, "It is a shocking situation to be in that I don’t think anybody anticipated a year ago,” I want to scream in frustration.
THIS WAS PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY. HE BRAGGED ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD DO.
Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.
But I am very concerned that at some point I might let someone who is not very adequate into the chat and they will have the right to kick everyone out of the chat...
