With this #RedditMigration, you know what people haven’t been talking about recently?

#Bluesky.

AT protocol was obviously not ready for a #RedditMigration, it’s not even ready for federation, and is years behind #ActivityPub.

Bluesky might be okay if you just want pre-Elon Twitter and to watch the old Twitter royalty do their thing. But it is not equipped to handle a variable use cases that can only happen through federation.

Each day Bluesky does not federate is a moment it’s ceding territory to #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Calckey, #Kbin, etc.

It has been a couple of good days for my GoToSocial server on the Raspberry Pi Zero W. The server has been running and responsive to requests the whole time.

Something is funky somewhere in the hardware-software chain. When I tried to restart the GoToSocial service with systemctl every four hours, that made the system less stable.

Ideally I'd like to try the system on different hardware. There are Pi 400's available today, but I really don't need a Pi with a keyboard. I'd rather get something smaller with a case. I'm waiting for another 64-bit Pi.

The Zero W's I'm running now are 32-bit, and the one running the database has been very solid.

Instead of complaining about app developers and Flatpak, maybe it's time Linux based OS developers focus on moving forward with things they are responsible for:

* Home encryption
* Authenticated boot
* Read-only /
* Atomic upgrades

It's 2023 and I still can't install and leave Linux unattended to family members and friends.

Flatpak solves real problem and it only gets better with time because it is the right infrastructure for apps on Linux.

To people who keep picking a specific app to "demonstrate" that the Flatpak sandbox is broken: This is called cherry picking.

Nobody claimed the Flatpak sandbox was a magical solution. For certain things apps need upstream support, but hey everyone benefits from it!

• We get proper and secure desktop APIs, yes also non Flatpak
• Apps become more secure over time
• More control to user over permissions and data
• No random files in ~

Stephen Colbert to Produce ‘Chronicles of Amber’ TV Series Adaptation

[I've always said that Nine Princes in Amber by Zelazny, et al, should be adapted. And I see now it's been set up as of January. I missed the announcement. But that's great. Colbert will see it's reasonably faithful and high quality.]

Roger Zelazny and I were friendly and I am his fan.

The other day I installed OpenSuse Leap and not Opensuse Tumbleweed on my PC and I really like it.

Is this what being old and conservative feels like? 🤔

Was just at a self-checkout and the machine prompted me for a tip.

Nope, I’m not tipping. I did all the work here.

And you, the drug store, laid off all the staff for whom the tip would benefit.
