    Yes I believe him, dressed up like a member of The Specials (maybe sax 🎷 player?), and those punk rock skateboarder Vans that he's sporting with the suit.

    Even the Sex Pistols were bankrolled merely to showcase their manager Malcolm McLaren's clothing boutique at 430 King's Road in London.

    One of my exes was a pre Goth death metal chick with relatively short pink hair and that pasty white corpse like makeup in a different, classy lingerie ensemble everyday of the week ( It helped that she worked at Frederick's on Hollywood Blvd).

    If what John Waters is quoted as saying has any weight (and I believe he's spot on) it's that the antisocial movement of the previous decade will be largely found to be insignificant and forgotten because they had no particular and unique fashion sense of their own to remember them by.👋💀

    I know you've an affinity for Cloudflare, but their efficiency factor as a CDN is I feel more than overshadowed by their entry into the world of Internet policing... Motherfuckers they are.

  7. Don't trust those "little buddy heaters" and their cousins of having CO2 sensors and low #Oxygen cutoffs that their marketing indicates you can bank your life on.

    You can fucking die.

    I used a few of these for several years, when I lived completely off-grid, in the mountain wilderness far from the nearest humans.

    They're really convenient and quick to heat a small area, or anything close to them, in just a few minutes, and you can pick them up at any Target, Walmart, Big 5, Tractor Supply, Etc., for $40 - $50.

    Basically, you warm your environment, sitting on your cot and warming up your feet and toes before turning it off and burrowing into your subarctic bedding. You can leave the pilot going all night so all you need to do is twist and click it on on the morning, but seriously, why bother?

    I miss github.com/gigablast/open-sour

    No real info on what precipitated its vaporization earlier this year after so long valiantly serving the community:
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigablas

    I suspect it may have been somehow related to the fiasco with freenode and Crown Prince Andrew Lee, but that's a reach.

    #tallship #no_joy #exclusionary

  10. @johnbudd1350 The only barrier here is that people want to buy where they want to live.
    There are numerous opportunities for everyone even in shit times.

    Do you want to creatively purchase a home there? Whether inner-city or rural -are you okay with moving there where you can afford to live and build a life and have a reasonable expectation of paying most of it off before you croak in a situation where your kids have no inheritance left?

    Maybe there is no one. That's still okay, coz you gotta do you.

    Be flexible or be renter - one leaves you with something to pass on (or to financially leverage against, when/if you no longer give a shit), while the other leaves you Doodly Squat.

    But here's the thing, you never know what opportunities tomorrow will ultimately bring you - if you own even a shithole, you can leverage that investment later, and good times (later, economically) means you can realize the cash you put into your house of squalor until you can afford to leverage that into moving into the neighborhoods of those assholes that previously had condescended you, lolz 🤘🤡🤘

    But that's a trap too - unless you're working to enjoy your infirm years and leave that shit (property and/or money) to your offspring, then if you like, you can certainly (and be very very sure this is all you give a shit about) fuckitall! Fuck everything and everyone and you just do that which suits you at that time and you'll make it still!

    A bit rougher, with nothing to (supposedly) show, but a great God damned book should you choose to publish your life (and your kids might be even get fucking rich because of that).

    It's the end... Well? It's the fricken' end. That's all. That's it. There's no other way to characterize it - your life. A thing, to be sure. If you're interested in how the question is asked about it by some random biographer, researcher, interviewer, or a family member, you have the chance during your life to shape the narrative to: "So.... Your life, tell me....?" -what will those answers be? Even if you can begin to glean that?

    Remember, you're in control of the script - what should be written of you in the years to come after your passing?

  11. @SDF Hi @dantappan 🙂

    And yes indeed! First thing is to sign up for s few account with the SDF.org PubNIX, a nonprofit for over 35 years now, and several resources behind immediately available to you, including free bootcamps for TOPS-10 and Plan 9.

    This is why I love the Fediverse and putting 5 pubic service related matters - if I can deliver awareness to just one person I've done a good deed for the day. So yes, SDF.org and we have all kinds of perks and member related benefits!

  12. @lauren Much more than 1%, but yes, yet the term is normative however, and the same term terminology applies equally to XMPP, SMTP, Matrix, and others, which are not foreign concepts to lay people, so helping to educate our fellow humans to the evil incarnate of the deprecated, privacy disrespecting, monolithic legacy silo systems is arguably a duty to your fellow man.

    People can learn - easily. More easily than they, in their stubbornness let on; and do, when it suits their interest.

    Perhaps the real issue is raising their awareness to the subjugation they've been hoodwinked into?

    All the best!

    #Forgejo is inspired by, and based on the #Esperanto word for "Forge" - Forĝejo.

    There is one single correct way to pronounce it, as illustrated in the attached audio clip.

    Being a single executable, and completely familiar to GitHub users, Forgejo is literally a drop-in replacement for Gitea, just like #MariaDB was for #MySQL when Monty forked it back for the #FOSS world community from Oracle.

    I hope that helps! Enjoy!

  14. ## Making Better Use of Space

    ### Moving that old white elephant in the room.

    There's been a lot of talk lately, and speculation, about the #Fediverse. Yet for the most part, only with respect to a single brand of server platform.

    What I find particularly odd about that, is it's a rather lackluster server platform (especially considering the hefty system requirements) with an extremely limited feature list. Mastodon servers have a hard coded default character count limit per post of only 500 characters - more than Twitter, but not often enough to get a complete thought out with a link to somewhere else, or engage in a conversational thread, and certainly nowhere near what you need to post a news article, holiday recipe, tutorial, HowTo, or movie review.

    As if a paltry 500 character limit isn't bad enough for this resource hog, virtually every other Fediverse platform provides for sensible , and configurable message lengths with common defaults of 2000, 5000, or more; most support #Markdown, and other ubiquitous text formats like #LaTex or #HTML, and some even have built in #WYSIWYG editors - like #WordPress, #Hubzilla, and #Drupal, with big players like #Imgur and #Tumblr already looking forward to their official Fediverse launches soon.

    When those latter two giants arrive on the scene, the world of social networking will truly be interconnected, having achieved critical mass. It will be a revolution, a juggernaut toppling the deprecated, legacy monolithic silos that have so insidiously subverted and subjugated the masses like chattel. But I digress.

    Other Fediverse platforms have offered the ability for people to edit their own posts for a long time, some for years, yet mastodon enabled this capability less than a month ago. It lags behind most other Fediverse platforms in several other ways too - groups, marketplaces, federated chat, and several other often requested functions are all but ignored by that platforms' developer while other Fediverse servers enjoy active and ambitious development cycles with new feature releases.

    So considering it is so lacking in basic functionality compared to the other more prominent contemporaries, I've assembled a curated list below where you can evaluate and testdrive others for yourself. I've included links to some of the most darling up and coming projects like #Foundkey and #Quanta, that scale to thousands of users, and if you truly want an even smaller, minimalist Fediverse platform I've included #MicroBlogPub too. There's a couple of web tools including databases so you can search for even more platforms, instances, and compare statistics.

    Choosing from the list below, you can join existing instances, self-host your own, or even have a professional #hosting_provider do it for you - simply pick a #turnkey provider where in just a couple of clicks your new fully managed Fediverse server will be online in only a minute or two!

    There are literally free and privacy respecting Fediverse platforms to replace everything from #Faceplant, #Twatter, #Reddit, #YouTube, #twitch, #InstaSPAM, #Spotify, #Quora and so very much more!

    And most are so light on system resources that you can run then on an old laptop or #Raspberry_Pi in your home.

    Without further adieu, here's a list of [some of] the most prominent Fediverse server platforms in operation.

  15. @joshuatopolsky Yeah...

    But #Twatter's doin' better now than it has for ages.

    I personally wish him well. It's a much better place now than it ever was since he's taken out the trash and is turning the place around over there.

    Just the sheer amount of #Shadowbanning that was going on (like over at YouTube) is unforgivable.

    It's kinda like when Castro dumped all his prison trash on Miami, we got a lot of those miscreants coming over here - expecting to have their little censorial world replicated here - only to find out that the #Fediverse is actually designed to be censorship resistant in the same way that Elon's trying to remake Twatter... Except it's built into this network from the ground up lolz...

    I see morons over here talking about "de-federating" other instances when there's a few people that they don't like, which is humorous, because they're only de-federating themselves into a corner until their instance is left in the vacuum of space while their users migrate to other (non-mastodon) servers and everywhere else people are still communicating with each other.

    Now that... Is funny. It just doesn't work that way here #twitugees lolz. Many if those morons have already gone back to Twatter, and realized there just going to have to learn to get skinny with other humans or turn off their phones and computers - either way, they certainly won't be missed.

    Here's a good list to select from when those native, once subjugated people figure out how #federation works and they outgrow the meager feature set of mastodon.

    Yes, our pubic launch announcement is imminent, basically coinciding with this next #Gitea release.

    Forĝejo will remain a drop in replacement, as we continue to develop out #ActivityPub based #forge #federating capabilities.

    You have a great day!
