if you think you're a decent person because you don't use slurs but you think codes of conduct are "silly" because you're an anarchist, you don't know how communities are run and you should never be in charge of one

conversely, if folks would like a new IRC channel to talk in where it isn't the fashion to call people against using slurs "triggered snowflakes", please join us SJWs in at irc.libera.chat

if folks are congregating on an IRC channel where it isn't the fashion to call people against using slurs "triggered snowflakes" please let me know! i'd love a new channel to hang out in

is there one single retro computing community that isn't run by absolute shitheads

fascinating seeing a The Register opinion piece brand "Free Software" as left-wing and "Open Source" as right-wing when my experience is exactly the opposite

i will not be linking the article

oh man this copy of photoshop 7 i just downloaded from a hotline server came with so many third party plugins hell yeah

@gildilinie they also:

- vociferously and continuously protected and HOSTED terrorist site KF
- have since founding hosted DESIGNATED terrorist orgs like Daesh and the Taliban
- continue to provide services to explicit Nazi sites
- actively doxx anyone who complains about Nazi sites, to those site owners
- still employ Joe Sullivan as their Chief Security Officer, a convicted felon who covered up numerous security breaches resulting in identity thefts at Uber

this might be a good time to remind everyone that Cloudflare management is friends with famous imprisoned nazi hacker Weev

what in the hell. it works on another domain but it gives me the certificate of a different domain that's in the server.

and that's not what happens on any other machine for either domain

i don't get it

nmap says my server does TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (among others)

classilla (OS 9) says it has TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (among others)

i can't open my site because there is no cipher overlap.

?

people who don't like that Steve Wilhite wanted gif to be pronounced with a soft g are just upset he got to the peanut butter wordplay before them

there are already usb-powered devices that redirect/mirror a modern wifi connection to ethernet in order to use older computers on modern wifi

why can't we have those devices also strip HTTPS

i might have to do some researching and prototyping

if mastodon is about user freedom, then why am i trapped?

i've been running a server on my domain since 2018, and i'm tired of keeping up with the updates. i'd love to try a simpler piece of server software to make maintenance easier, so i took a look at gotosocial, and at the top of their guide is this:

"It's not supported across the Fediverse to switch between implementations on the same domain"

...excuse me? so now this domain is permanently tainted?

so what are my options?

- transfer my account to some other site. be part of all the drama and defederating and dealing with mastodon HOAs. lose my fun domain account domain name. don't bring along any of my data/pictures/posts, which frankly is the thing i care about more than my followers/following. i can download my data but who gives a shit i can do that on twitter.

- keep running tootsuite until the end of time, and having to computer janitor it to not get my shit hacked. i don't even want to host a web ui, i only use external clients, so i'm spending god knows how much resources on my vps just to run this stack i'm not using.

- buy/use a different domain, setup a new server there, hope i picked a good one that i won't regret using! transfer my following/followers, and lose all my post history

- delete everything and stop using this piece of shit thing.

the people who came up with this design are fucking stupid. not only is my data trapped inside tootsuite in any meaningful way, but my domain is also now permanently locked to this install.
