Hi, if you are following me because you think I am the dipshit who writes books about the People's Republic of China, I am not that dipshit.
I am a completely different dipshit.

When I started this instance, I envisioned it as a social network 
.
Like the hallway track at #BSDCan 
. Or when we wander the streets at #EuroBSDCon 
. And like when we hit up the bars at #AsiaBSDCon 
.
Chat about anything! Everything! Code is cool, but so is anything in your noggin. Good thing so many of you are already doing that 
.

/me puts Admin Hat on.
Hi everybody!
The bsd.network instance has a Code Of Conduct, viewable at https://bsd.network/terms or via the "Terms and Conditions" link that is sprinkled around a few places.
The TL;DR is "be cool unto others". However, since society at large has demonstrated they can't be cool, we had to write out a bunch of things.

Hey, users of bsd.network. Be cool unto people, and people will be cool unto you. Interacting with people is a *privilege* not a *right*. This is a private place owned by me and @aag and we want it to be friendly and nice.
We don't want to have to swing the admin-hammer to correct your behaviour!
But we will.

I have created a #Librepay account for donations to me. I intend to use any monies to cover my open-source work, and for hosting this instance. https://liberapay.com/phessler/
Since donations through the service are anonymous, I don't know if, or how much, people have donated.

We're not going to first have the "revolution" & THEN try to sort things out & help people.
The problem-solving & mutual help IS the revolution. They cannot be separated.
Old systems must be torn down. Part of tearing them down is creating new ways of living.
Begin creating the world you want to live in NOW. Don't wait.

I once convinced HR to hire a pygmy goat named "Ima D. Goat" as a network engineer in charge of cable management. Paperwork completed, and everything.
My boss stopped the prank when I went to go pick up a goat from a farm.

Just in case anyone needs a bit of encouragement: It has always been and is still perfectly reasonable to fix bugs without LLMs. I found 7 WiFi driver bugs this evening and wrote fixes for each of them. With no more than vim-classic, grep, and debug prints.

For those who know German typography, any advice on how to sink my teeth into understanding the influence of DIN 1451 (and its predecessors) on everyday typography?
Can be in German! Thank you.
the dj seems to think this daylight sidewalk with mostly houses around is a great place to pretend they are in berghain. shitty music, too loud. my windows are shut and things inside are rattling.
I'm normally not a fan of xmas, but I'll tolerate it for other's sake.
but inserting xmas outside of xmas season is bullshit. fuck right off.
god fucking dammit.
I managed to avoid it all winter, but the assholes across the street are blasting maria carrey's xmas bullshit on the summer solstice.
how dare you.

Third release candidate for v0.22.0 of #GoToSocial!
https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.22.0-rc3
Compared to rc2:
- Unfollow relay actor if no connections exist targeting that actor (allows retrying establishing relay connection by removing all connections to an actor + creating a new one).
- Fix erroneus use of
RelayConnectionCreateRequestwhen updating a relay push. - Don't error on
db.ErrNoEntriesinOnMediaDereferencecallback. - Disable outgoing http2 requests until superseriousbusiness/httpsig is updated, as our signatures were getting messed up by http2 transport.
- Only mark status as edited for streaming hooks if edited_at column has changed.
- Remove admin check on user-level relay push matchers.
- Set
statuses-cleanup-remote-older-thanto"0s", skip scheduling if 0.
Fingers crossed this is the last one :)
Thanks for all the help finding bugs, everyone <3
queues seem to be caught up. thanks all, we're done!
time to nap through this heat.
ze butts have held, bits updated, queues catching up.
offline is over, minor bumps still anticipated.
(bsd.network instance)
doing an upgrade here on bsd.network starting at 07:00 UTC. We'll be offline for a little bit.
