People need to stop recommending server directories to the newbies. People genuinely don’t grok how ActivityPub works out of the gate, and they trip all over that shit. There’s only a handful of open registration PeerTube sites, anyway. We should just point them to, like, clip.place.

@aesthr @ferret it's even worse than that; this isn't doing arithmetic at all! there are no spaces in "0.1+0.2==42" and so `[[ 0.1+0.2==42 ]]` is interpreted as equivalent to `[[ -n "0.1+0.2==42" ]]`, i.e. test whether the *string* "0.1+0.2==42" is *not empty*

can the CEO of WD or Seagate fuck someone outside of the bounds of matrimony next? i’ve wanted a new hard drive for a while, but they’re real expensive these days.

The Microsoft outage is a reminder of how much of our digital lives depends on a handful of corporations.

But alternatives exist, from open-source email to community-controlled collaboration tools.

@zwol @ferret hahahaha, amazing :D

Do the froggie shuffle

Or else

I did a bit of practice baking today!

Who wouldn't want to nibble on a couple of these?

And, yes, some are a bit larger than others. That's life, eh.

thx :D

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone Or they can have decent peering but not have necessary traffic engineering

e.g. Final Fantasy XIV's EU data centres are upstreamed by Arelion, your ISP might have two paths

• Them -> NTT -> Arelion
• Them -> Level 3 -> Arelion

From BGP's perspective they look identically good, but NTT and Arelion are having a peering dispute and going via NTT will send your packets to New York and back

The Schumer camp has just unleashed their attack dog... John Fetterman

Wonder how much that is going to help?

Do you want to find an audience for your content, or do you just want to upload your content?

The former can be achieved with where we are right now, the latter with a number of file uploading sites that allow hotlinking their uploads.

@paige I'm a bullshit artist. I hope I can qualify where I live, which is not in Canada, but I have bought a maple syrup bottle once and may have thought about eating a poutine once.

@ai6yr

Ohh, but it is? Do you have a tall or good antenna?
