TIL that Chrome has a hidden “reader mode” feature, similar to Firefox, Safari, etc.

I just thought: “Why is that feature hidden? It’s very useful.” And then I realized: “It hides the ads, that’s why.”

Sad

@TonyStark @Vision it doesn’t really matter at all who the US president is.

it should be a feature in more products to automatically email you a data export monthly (excluding media, like a 1-5mB file) in case the service suspends you or otherwise disappears/fucks off

Is it possible to do a U2F authentication without executing any javascript?

@healyn you are, what makes you think you’re not?

@wowaname i don't have enough content in my tl here, it's pretty annoying. also i need to switch to pleroma from masto, my PaaS doesn't properly pass client ip so every http request to my masto is ratelimited in the same bucket and you can't disable masto ratelimiting.

Gone from Twitter, after a 12 year run, because I can't endorse censorship platforms by donating content to them. :(

@alex maybe run a site on a diff domain that runs develop?

@unclechu @raboof yes that is precisely what i do now, and what this thread is about. it's also possible to add system packages without touching configuration.nix via `nix-env -i <pkg>` which then causes overlaps with the packages in configuration.nix, requiring an uninstall `nix-env --uninstall <pkg>` before `nixos-rebuild switch` will work.

@unclechu @raboof i'm glad that you know in advance all of the packages you want installed on your system. i do not.

My PaaS I use to run containers uses docker swarm, which uses a userspace L3 connection proxy (even though only one box), which means my main nginx rproxy/tls endpoint doesn't see client IP, which means mastodon's rate limiting (which has no off switch) breaks constantly.

so now i might have to rent a vps just to run mastodon. or switch to pleroma.

@unclechu @raboof which, incidentally, still lets you set yourself up for file collisions via `nix-env -i <pkg>` instead of requiring that they be in configuration.nix

cant even escape the stupid culture war complaining in the latest billy gibson novel. ugh.

I've finally decided that Twitter's censorship has gone too far, and I'm deleting my account on Halloween. Wish me luck.

(They used to just censor what you're allowed to post, but now they're censoring search results too, deciding for you what you're allowed to read. Fuck that.)

linux OSes should not let you install packages via the command line; you should be required to add them to a syntax-checked file and then run a command to ensure system installed packages match the file.
