friendly reminder that Activity Pub (the protocol that lets your posts and instance federate with other instances) is not a secure method of communication. please don't use the fediverse for mission critical communications, organizing actions, or sharing personally identifying information. that's just not what AP was designed for.
PSA: if you need secure communications, use something with end to end encryption.

Time to find out how to filter out posts that have that handclapping emoji. They are almost always difficult to read and almost never saying anything intelligent in a respectful manner. -

I've said for some time that #Brexit is the UK's business, not mine as a USAmerican.
But I can see why the EU is so freaked out about it. UK is 20+% of their total GDP. Losing a nation with that big a chunk of their total gives them less to use as a negotiating tool to win trade concessions from other nations as well as an inability to portray themselves as desirable when recruiting other European nations to membership.

29 years ago today, Steve Jackson games was raided by the US Secret service. A company that published RPG books about a fictional universe with hackers in it was enough to have the owner of the company arrested & all their assets seized at gunpoint. That's how almost as far the moral panic about hackers, post 'wargames' went without organized resistance.

@bob These people are only considered 'centrists' because of how extreme either 'wing' has become these days. -

If your definition of Centrism is "something between what the Left Wing and the Right Wing think", that's pretty limiting.
I think of Centrism as a point of view that rejects both wings' viewpoints and finds new views that are generally not based on either wing's flawed view. -

Someone should think about implementing an alternate FE that can function without #JavaScript. Not necessarily JS-free, but using JS only to enhance it, such as downloading updates without a page reload. -

@lain I can't imagine such a thing. Everywhere I've ever worked since the 1970s, I've been the one with the superior English language skills and the person who could express things diplomatically. -

@angristan Whether you do it with React or anything else, getting out from sites like Medium is a good idea. I find that keeping the blog technology as simple as possible reduces maintenance to a minimum, so avoid complicated nodejs things or anything which has hundreds of dependencies. -

I can recommend proxmox instead of VMware. You get the equivalent of vmotion for free. -

Glad to hear it. I need to see about getting Federati's #XMPP server running again. I never got it to work with #LetsEncrypt, but I'm probably going to switch to a paid cert authority anyway. #LECert is too fiddly if there's anything different about your setup (e.g., using #Lighttpd or #Prosody instead of #Apache or #Nginx). -

I'm going to be looking for a different job once I get home, and I also hope to (re-) learn #PHP and maybe try to learn some #Erlang and #Elixir. -

@1iceloops123
I saw your conversation from a couple of days ago. Here's some unsolicited advice from someone who has kids older than you and a grandson that is only a couple of years younger than you.
(1) You're going to have a hard time in life because you have not yet learned not to use terms like the N-word. You call people Jews in a perjorative fashion, as if there is something wrong or evil about a particular ancestry. Maybe this is because you communicate with the racists from FSE, but at least one of them admitted to living in his car because his views and statements are so distasteful that he cannot get a job or an apartment. If you don't have close non-white friends, now is the time to connect with people in the #Fediverse and on campus that are not the same as you.
(2) As for tech stuff, either get one or two old servers, or get some #Raspberry_Pi type computers, or use virtual machines, so you can set up, explore, tear down, and rebuild networks and services all the time. The classes are good, don't stop. But they presuppose that you are constantly exploring whatever systems you use (other than the campus's own) to further your own learning. Ask yourself questions ("Why do we use DNS? What other ways could a network use to enable hosts to know how to reach one another?") and read/YouTube to find the answers. Give yourself an attitude of constant learning.
(3) Get moving on those two things, so that ten years from now you're not the classic obese 35 year old, still living at home, torrenting porn and wondering why you can't find a job or a spouse.
