It did prompt me to notice and clean up a few silly mistakes, though. For a while there a postgresql database had its port forwarded to the Internet that absolutely should not have. It had a password anyway, but still.

Setting up Kubo via Docker to run an IPFS node in the data center rather than my house took way longer than it should have, and I'm still not a hundred percent certain I got it all correct.

@chris Personally I’m okay with threads banning it. They’re too big to effectively moderate contextually. This points to why the small instance mastodon model is a good one. Instances each get to decide how they feel about any given account.

@chris Well, the bot owner obviously made the bot for some purpose. Otherwise they’d just go look it up on a flight tracker app if it was just personal curiosity.

@chris Does it matter? Anyone could look up the info, but the entity creating a bot to post it to social media is communicating a message just by that act of creation. I’m okay with “Bill Gates is a hypocrite!” But less okay with “hey, here’s where Taylor Swift is, just in case you want to go abuse her.”

@chris It kind of depends on who’s doing the tracking and who’s being tracked. A dude tracking Taylor swifts jet is a creep. An organization tracking bill gates to make a point about climate change is not. As with all types of communication, context matters.

The feeling when you're writing to someone and make a typo causing IOS to autocorrect "I consider myself a leftist." into "I consider myself a elf." Uh...well...I guess those things are basically the same, right?

: I made detailed 3d printed models of my hands, and had them delivered to my enemies with a note reading "My punchers long for your face." In the dream I was extremely pleased with myself. My enemies in this case being my eighth-grade teacher, a girl I knew in university and haven't thought about for years, and Richard Nixon. Well, okay, then.

TIL: you can access containers by container-name. I've been setting hostname on everything for no good reason.

The 7.0 update brings a few improvements with on . Still a lot of unlabeled buttons, but the data is readable now.

@skaeth Oh, I was considering both Kanin and Noli to be main characters. I believe they're both queer, but only Noli is deaf. Though I didn't write that clearly in my post. There's a reason I don't have an ongoing series on Royal Road yet! LOL
