@gordoooo_z @PhenomX6 @futurebird @ink8 Whatever Eugen decides at this point it’s irrelevant. He’s pretty much lost his grip over holding the Fediverse brand as secondary to the notion of a fantasy “mastodon network” when he gave that Time Magazine interview two months ago in which the word “Fediverse” appeared not one single time - that caused enormous, untold damages including confusion that remains in the news media and disenfranchisement of large swaths of developers and users alike on not just other platforms, but mastodon instances themselves.
There’s really no such thing as toots anymore, Eugen himself refers to “Posts” and “Quote Posts”, and the submit button in mastodon now says “publish”. The reason #Misskey calls them “notes” is because that’s what they are actually called in #ActivityPub - there are also other types, that other platforms use as well, including “article”, although, instances like #qoto have set the character count for notes at 65535 🙂
It’s been covered in this thread already that Quote Posts are simply beyond the control of mastodon devs, Eugen’s edicts, or local mastodon users or admins, because most other platforms support it and there isn’t anything #mastopub can do about it. In Misskey, users can disallow it, but that only affects other local users, so it’s s moot point (except for silo instances).
There are very few Fediverse platforms that aren’t taking advantage of most things that are possible, for example, #Soapbox now has federated events, and introduced custom emoji reactions like Misskey has, and live chat - Misskey’s traditionally led the way with these federating features with #Calckey going even further.
Some platforms however, intentionally incorporate a leaner set of features; #Smithereen is one example, it doesn’t even sccomodate boosts, which harkens back to #Myspace, #VKontakte (aka, “VK” - not sure I spelled that right), and very early #Faceplant days. #Epicyon has anti-silo capabilities baked in.
#Mitra has #Substack style subscriptions at it’s core. Anyone can subscribe remotely from any Fediverse server instance where the user can receive DMs - and in congruence with privacy concerns that are typically expected for Fediverse implementations, it’s based on #Monero (XMR).
Most platforms also support #Markdown, with Cakckey being perhaps supporting the greatest superset IIRC, including #LaTEX, and #Friendica, being much older than msstodon, has continued to evolve over the past decade and still has support for #BBCode too, and direct links for uploading images for those who prefer to.
I didn’t see any mention of Markdown support when I bothered to look at the mastopub roadmap, yet even on that platform, Quote Posts are all throughout the stream and people boost and reply to them as the time - and, as mentioned earlier, anyone can create a post, simply pasting the link from someone else’s post, and then boost that… Voila! Local #Quote_Post.
mastodon was successful in its arrogance of leveraging some pretty graphics and welcoming verbiage into a brand that Eugen weaponized against virtually all other Fediverse platforms, and now, with all of the fine forks like #Hometown and several newcomers, we’ll soon be seeing hardforking as a result of that hostility.
But not just forks, funding and ambitious development as evidenced by existing and emerging platforms like #Cloudflare’s #Wildebeest, Tumbler, and the very unique, #Django based Takahē Fediverse server that I wrote about here:
https://tallship.writeas.com/takahe-a-new-fediverse-paradigm
Average people are already migrating in larger numbers everyday away from the archaic mastodonian resource hog to other, more capable and promising (and friendlier) platforms elsewhere in the Fediverse that have integrated and fully support #masto_migration, and even ones that don’t (yet) haver that feature.
Unlike other dinosaurs and the eponymous mammal for which Eugen chose the namesake of his #TootSuite product, we shouldn’t expect extinction for his platform, but the apathy and indifference levels are rising, as is the enmity in many sectors of the community for what others perceive as a betrayal (or sellout), and that kind of self-inflicted damage is often difficult to mitigate, with waves of disenchantment reverberating get into the future… Just look at what happened to #SourceForge - it still technically exists, but never recovered after the community betrayal it committed years ago.
And finally, there’s a irony so obvious that’s it’s not even plausible to deny… Eugen subverted the very rudimentary principal that the Fediverse network is ideologically predicated upon - #DeSoc… There’s no question that his goals shifted to that if building a silo for himself, at least to some great degree. Very sad.
An interesting thing about condescending others, you find yourself alone and isolated in an otherwise vibrant, busy world.

Can someone please explain to me why an Apache mod_rewrite rule would apply in Chrome, but not in Firefox? Basically, I'm taking the requested subdomain, e.g. [something].mywebsite.com, and using that string to 301 redirect to mywebsite.com/[something]. Works perfectly in Chrome, but hasn't worked in Firefox in a while (first version worked in both, but I had to reimplement it after a WordPress update overwrote it) and I have no idea why that should be a thing. We basically have zero Firefox users attempting to use the subdomain aside from myself, so it doesn't *really* matter, but I just want to understand (and avoid an unnecessary customer service email in the event that a Firefox user scans the QR code and erroneously ends up at the homepage; yes, the subdomain was a mistake. But the QR codes are out there by the thousands, so it's too late for me now lol).
I should say that the majority of my mod_rewrite experience was probably a decade or so ago, so I'm definitely pretty rusty.
The rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?!www\.)([^.]+)\.(mywebsite\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%2/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE] -
This is the kind of weird obsessive thing I can lose a hours to, with zero warning... I'm not one of those people who uses subtitles even though I can hear perfectly fine, but we usually have them on because my s/o likes them. Anyway, I was tweaking YouTube's subtitle settings, but for whatever reason decided they weren't quite granular enough, so I opened up Stylus (custom CSS extension) to get it just right, and well, uh... I got a little carried away.

5 months into self-hosting my single-user instance, and I have zero complaints. The cost comes up to $6usd/mo. (~$8 cad, atm), and there’s headroom to spare. I’m running Akkoma on Fedora (which I thought was 38 but is actually 37 so I guess I should probably update it).
This is on a Vultr “Cloud Compute” server, with the “AMD High Performance” option (EPYC CPU + NVMe storage) on the lowest tier: 1 vCPU, 1GB memory, and 25GB storage. As an irritable person who hates waiting for things to load, it’s performed beautifully.
I can’t comment on Mastodon. While I’m told it’s a bit of a resource hog, especially as it scales, it might be perfectly fine for a single user instance, although when I was first considering self-hosting, I was advised that I’d be better off spending $15 or $20 minimum on a more capable server for Mastodon. I can’t refute or confirm that statement, so use your own judgement, but I don’t really like the way the Mastodon project is run, and I like being able to use Markdown, even if barely anybody will see it.

Think I found the problem, lol. Right above that blue guy there is the remnants of another electrolytic, and right below it is a smaller 2.2μF that appears to have had a somewhat less spectacular failure.
So assuming I didn't break anything tearing it down, this should be a very cheap and easy fix.

I'm about to attempt something I've been meaning to do for a long time, but I've just been waiting for the right moment (one where I really wanna play Shinobi 3 on a Trinitron I found on the side of the road). I'm going to try to fashion a Genesis model 2 A/V cable that isn't complete dogshit (aka not just a set of random RCA cables cut, stripped, twisted, and poked into pins 4, 8 and 9, lol).
That or I'll just do it the dogshit way for now then pick up a new set of cables tomorrow.

What I like about Sega Genesis (aside from everything) is that unlike things that say Nintendo on 'em, it's comparatively pretty cheap and cheerful to get physical games for.
This isn't an invitation for you and your little friends to suddenly get all excited about Sega. I already gave up on getting copies of all my favourite NES games years ago (you can emulate it on a toaster tho, so it's coo. I'll get a flash cart eventually I'm sure); don't ruin this one for me.

Why would a computer (specifically a #G4 tower) power off when a DVD is put in the drive? I'm trying to figure out what's happening to the power supply in this situation that's causing the behaviour, because it's probably a pretty good clue as to what I did wrong when I rewired it that's also causing it to turn off after running for 15-20 min.
And it's not the drive itself. I swapped in another one just to eliminate that variable. I'm fairly certain it's something wrong with the way I rewired the ATX power supply to adapt it to Apple's weird non-standard pinout.

No idea. Mounted the small rubber shroud for the rear fan from the Quicksilver, as opposed to the plastic shield that holds the fan in the Digital Audio, and I've mounted a 120mm fan on top pointing out, Intel cooler style. I don't honestly think heat is the issue, but I'd like to at least eliminate it as a variable (or hey, maybe it is the issue, and I can prevent losing another night to fighting with yet another cursed G4).
Starting to once again lose my taste for playing with old Macs (though there's always the possibility that it's a side effect of the modified ATX power supply).
-
It is entirely possible that what is actually happening is it's going to sleep, and then failing to wake up (which I think is a side effect of the modded ATX power supply). I've now slid the sleep timer in the Energy Saver panel to Never, but I'm too dumb and impatient to wait and see if this solves it, and I currently have OS9.2 installing to the IDE drive. Wish me luck, lol.

IT WORKED.
I did film the moment of truth, but all that happened was the same thing as before, the power button lit up for as long as I held it down with my finger. So I stopped filming, and then several seconds later, I heard what sounds like a fairly whiny unhealthy fan spin up, and I looked down and saw the obnoxiously RGB Corsair keyboard lit up.
I assumed nothing was happening, so didn't hold Cmd+Alt+O+F long enough to get into open firmware and boot via USB, so that's why I'm just getting the icon, I assume.
Actually now that I think of it, wouldn't it be a question mark icon if it were a matter of an HDD with no bootable OS? It might just be slowly booting off the USB as we speak cause I'm still seeing smiley Finder folder icon. ???

Was about to test the newly modified ATX PSU in my Quicksilver G4... before I realized it was missing the CMOS battery (I forgot what Apple calls this, but it's the 1/2 AA battery that lives on the mobo... whatever). Why I bought a new battery for it, then realized the PSU was going to need replacing before it would work, and then removed the brand new battery I bought is a mystery to me. Maybe I thought I'd be holding onto it long enough to worry about the battery leaking a corroding the board? (iirc it was a lithium battery though, so honestly no idea what was going thru my head... or where I stored it in the meantime lmao)
-
Okay I'm in a little over my head. If somebody who knows more about electriconics/power supplies could help clear up my confusion, it would be very much appreciated!
I'm following the atxg4.com guide to modify an ATX power supply to work in my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver 2002 (link: http://atxg4.com/quicksilver.html), but it is a little light on details, and some of it is just straight up ambiguous (at least to me lol). I can whip up a MIDI controller or an arcade stick with a microcontroller, but that's more programming than circuitry; my actual #EE knowledge is novice hobbyist at best.
Anyway, I *think* I got the "connect the +3.3v line to the Power OK" part right? I interpreted their words + the pinout diagram to mean that I twist them together and they go together into Pin 8? Again, a bit ambiguos; because pin 8 is grey on the ATX pinout, and orange on the Quicksilver pinout, but it sounds like I'm being told to put grey AND orange into pin 8? (See below photo for current status)

Anyone have experience with Gateron switches, specifically in regards to longevity? I've had an Anne Pro 2 with Gateron Reds for the last ~2 years (bought it used, though it appeared to be very well cared for) and have had multiple occasions where I sit at my computer in the morning, and a new switch starts acting up (occasionally chattering, but more recently, requiring a lot of force to actuate). Last week, it was right shift, and today it's H. I usually just tap the shit out of it 'til it starts behaving again, but my previous keyboard, an iKBC Poker 2 with Cherry Reds, never had these kinds of issues, and I used and abused that thing non-stop for several years straight, and would still be using and abusing it if the micro-USB port didn't rip clean off the PCB along with all it's pads. I never had any kind of issues with actuation or chattering on that board.
I think it might be right about time that I give repairing my Poker 2 another go. I would replace it with another Poker 2 if I could find one with MX Reds for a reasonable price, but I mostly see them with MX Browns (blech).

3D printers are a great way to keep yourself busy when you don't feel like doing real work. As cool as DIY clicky probes like the Klackender look, I decided to just pick up a CR Touch and make it easy for myself, so I don't give myself yet another project to work on while I'm procrastinating.

Does anybody know of a modern browser that will run in a #libertine container on #UbuntuTouch? Ideally Firefox or a Firefox-derivative (Chromium if I have to, but Chrome is a no-go). I installed Firefox but it just gives me a black screen and an "X11 support" icon in the app menu.
