Alexandre Oliva (lxo@gnusocial.net)'s status on Monday, 30-Oct-2023 08:22:21 EDT Alexandre Oliva relatable, but somewhat discriminatory against neurodivergents
we can hardly ever predict when we're not going to be oversensitive or drained or overwhelmed to the point of being able to sensibly discuss some stressful matter
unless "let's try again the same time tomorrow" is an acceptable answer, even if it turns out that, when that time comes, it's not a good time againIn conversation from gnusocial.net permalink -

Alexandre Oliva (lxo@gnusocial.net)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 23:23:03 EDT Alexandre Oliva think keyboard and printer. input and output are *very* different processes, and both require practice. (this is an oversimplification; reading and writing vs listening and speaking add yet another layer of complexities :-) In conversation from gnusocial.net permalink -

Alexandre Oliva (lxo@gnusocial.net)'s status on Thursday, 26-Oct-2023 00:52:22 EDT Alexandre Oliva the dictum was decent heuristics for some time, but it was enshittified.
whether or not you pay for it, if it's *not* free (as in freedom) for you, and the supplier can change it from under you, you *will* be the product, by means of software #enshittificationIn conversation from gnusocial.net permalink -
Alexandre Oliva (lxo@gnusocial.net)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Oct-2023 02:39:55 EDT Alexandre Oliva indeed I am, mainly because Unix, ftp and ssh bring it to mind. last I looked, ssh was TCP only, and rsync usually ran over ssh, so I'm confused about how Chaosnet fits in the scenario.
> On Lisp Machines .. it figures it out based on the type of machine you are talking to
I figured this meant that, when talking to Unix machines, it would use TCP and resort to such things as ftp, ssh, which could be blocked with firewalls just as I pointed out. but the point really was that just probing for how to connect to some remote server, to guess how to talk to it and make such magic work, may trip such paranoid security measures and make further contact impossible. in some high-security environments, it's best to know what services and ports to knock onIn conversation from gnusocial.net permalink -

A and B could be Unix machines, they could be running restrictive firewalls, and attempting to connect to them with some protocol they didn't support could get them to block further attempts to connect In conversation from gnusocial.net permalink -
