If you want to use the Fediverse through a Facebook-style interface, you may want to try Friendica.
Some good instances to sign up at:
social.isurf.ca/
nerdica.net/
libranet.de/
You can use Friendica through the @[url=https://framapiaf.org/users/fedilab]Fedilab[/url] app.
It federates through ActivityPub with Mastodon etc and it also lets you follow RSS feeds as if they were users.
The developers are very active with regular new releases.

federico reshared this.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

I prefer diaspora* over Friendica. The options that Friendica offers are great, but I’ve found it to be a bit glitchy though. Most people use their social network on their mobile phone, and using Friendica on mobile, you can’t change your profile photo. There are other instances of Friendica responding in unexpected ways. I do like it though. Either one is better than Facebook!
in reply to Mark

I have to admit that the main reason why I use Friendica is that I have a friend who is hosting an instance :)

From what I understand, diaspora* isn't able to federate with ActivityPub, and I believe that almost half of my contacts are on mastodon, so I would need two different accounts on the two networks.

Anyway, as long as a social network federates, and the instance isn't owned by a megacorp, that's very likely to be good.







The #FediWAN #Gaming Party is a group of peeps from the #Fediverse that get together and play some multiplayer games :blobnerd:

pad.disroot.org/p/FediWAN_Part…

We've got a few FLOSS options, some free but proprietary listings, and a bunch of paid games so there's something for everyone :blobwink:

If you don't see one you want to play, feel free to add it in alphabetical order and list yourself under it! :blobhappy:





Your cranky completely random reminder to back up your important files regardless of where you keep them. 'It's on an external drive, not the computer' doesn't mean it's immune to failure, damage, or loss.

you don't need to back up everything ever but if losing it would be Bad, back it up.

We see more and more project and organisations working on privacy focused apps, services, … great!

But sadly this is more and more just marketing. The most famous line "We value your privacy" is telling almost the exact opposite these days.

So let's do a first step: Everyone who really values privacy, get rid of trackers from your websites. All of them. GA as well as Matomo.

If you want to know how to optimize your websites, analyse your logs or do surveys.

#privacy #tracking

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

Getting rid of third-party trackers is nice.

I don't see what is the ethical difference between analyzing logs and using a self-hosted tracker like matomo?





#Framadate is a free open alternative to Doodle:

framadate.org

Like Doodle, Framadate lets you make quick, simple calendars and polls for finding out the opinions of your friends or colleagues without needing to register.

Unlike Doodle, Framadate respects privacy and doesn't show ads or track you.

It's made by @Framasoft and the source code is at framagit.org/framasoft/framada…

Tonight I've been told in a vision that if you put salt (in the dream it was just a grain of coarse kitchen salt) on the skin of a spellcaster while they are actively casting spells, their skin feels burning. Not enought to actually hurt, and when the casting ends the feeling ceases immediately, but enough to distract a bit.

Should I start carrying salt in my backpack (IRL) in case I meet hostile spellcasters? Or should I start worrying about salt in case I suddenly become able to cast spells?

Should I read less fantasy stuff before going to sleep?

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

Should I read less fantasy stuff before going to sleep?


Quite on the contrary, I would say :)

For the rest, I'd advice start carrying a bit of salt in your backpack. You never know when it will become handy, and if you so happen to acquire the fine art of spellcasting, a grain or five of salt may still come in handy if you end up in a spellcasting battle. (Or was that "spelling battle"?)

in reply to Harald Eilertsen

spelling battles are the martial art version of spelling bees? This sounds very Ranma 1/2, I like it :)

(not that I have any experience with spelling bees, not being a native english speaker, they are just something I've read about)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

How about bricks made of salt to just cast at them?

(Sorry, the link is to a Hebrew-only story and probably requires subscription. But basically it is about a group of researchers who developed a process to convert excess salt to bricks, that seem to have useful properties).



What every couple¹ who sleeps in the same bed need is a blanked that is infinitely extensible on both sides and covered with strips that can be made to show a 0 or a 1.

Mobilizon : let’s finance a software to free our events from Facebook !

framablog.org/2019/05/14/mobil… #Framablog #TootOuRien

We have less than 60 days to finance Mobilizon. Less than 60 days to promote our project of a free and federated alternative to Facebook events ; and to know how much we need to invest ourselves in it.

Change the software of the people who change the world?

I received my new spindle + whorl + wool kit, made myself a distaff from a dowel and a band of fabric from my bag of odd pieces, and decided to start trying with some of the modern top I was already used to.

Between the different technique and the lack of a hook it feels a lot like starting again from scratch, but I'm starting to get back a tiny bit of consistency and the yarn is no longer breaking every other metre or so. I'm happy I kept the nice wool for later, however.

Dying @ this anecdote from Andrew Thaler on birbsite:

“Six years ago today, I walked into the techiest tech-bro bar in San Fransisco, positioned myself obnoxiously into a group of Dudes Wearing Google Glass, and loudly said "Ok Google, Call Mom."

It was magical.

How were you radicalized against pervasive technology?”

i don't always use fountain pens…


but when I do, i build them myself :D

Since I stumbled on sites.google.com/site/cartedar… I've been wanting to try and make one, and I've finally found half an hour to do so.

This includes discovering that the cartridges I still had from my school years (last millennium) were dry, refilling one of them, discovering that I don't know how to refill an ink cartridge without spilling ink (luckily just on my hands and on some paper ads that were there to protect the desktop) and finally trying the pen.

For something made out of a soft drink can, it writes pretty well.

I think in some ways the concept of "pythonic code" overlaps with functional programming (i.e. less loops, more comprehensions/generators, no manual counters) or "feels" similar (context managers somehow remind me things in lisp that wrap code and execute it in a specific way), however some things are outside the notion of "pythonic", like recursion.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

Off-topic: I saw this in my Diaspora account, and tried to follow the Olimex user. Only to realize it's a Mastodon account (and followed there).
in reply to tzafrir

I'm following their accout from friendica, without issue apparently. Does diaspora support activitypub (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity…) ?
in reply to Diego Roversi

No, it doesn't (afaik, at least it didn't last time I checked).

Friendica supports the diaspora protocol, because friendica supports *everything* :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

I guess not. As before, I could not get information directly between Mastodon and Diaspora.


Olimex freedombox home server kit is available:

Cool. Stoicism is close to my heart, and expresses a lot of what I have discovered for myself.

But it definitely carries with it the danger of an interpretation where person A might tell person B that person A's actions were justified and person B's distress is entirely internal, therefore there is no reason for person A to change their behavior, B should just be better at accepting their fate.

We can do both. This is where I refer to the Serenity Prayer. It's one of the best pieces of Christianity, and it is pure Stoicism.

Grant me the wine to accept the things I cannot change,
The coffee to change the things I can,
And the shrooms to know the difference.

Mother Goose had it centuries before Reinhold Niebuhr, apparently:

> If there be none, never mind it.

(and of course various Stoics and Buddhists a millennium or two before her, but her version is pretty much exactly the Serenity Prayer in content, just with different phrasing)

After a bit more than one year since I finished, I finally posted the pattern and instructions for my backpack.

This was my first big #MYOG project, and I've been using it almost daily as my “handbag”.
