The funniest thing is that there’s no unpathetic version of what happened to Musk. Either he got his ass beat by a five year old or this limp dick fifth rate Temu version of Toht from Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Any way you spin it it’s bitch thirty for Ketamine Clyde. 😂😂😂

Of course right after we get a huge influx of new users the server starts acting up again… so far as i can tell unrelated to the amount of new users. Seems like it might have been either slskd or nfs that had a memory leak . I turned both of as the most likely culprits for now.

i really hope i dont have to go back to using samba.

I tried to update funkwhale to 2.0 alpha, it was a glorious failure and there’s no reverting back because i realized too late that the files that where supposed to be backed up, where in fact not backed up at all.

You know that quote “fortune favors the bold”… The guy who its quoting, he died being bold, its not really the inspirational quote most people take it for, its more about just trying even when you know you’re likely to fail, at least that’s my take.

My point is, I’m a very bold sysadmin, and this will probably not be the last time something breaks, everything is a learning experience.

The more people who actually engage with me over my dislike of the #fedipact, the more clear it is that very few people actually understand how activitypub and the internet in general actually work.

I get that a lot of you are young and don’t remember the days when all the 1337 needs user IRC bridges for everything, but seriously, do some god damn research and learn what a walled garden is, then learn what a bridge is,

Then tell me why you want to be a gate keeping bastard instead of actually getting peeps to LEAVE META The point is to make meta’s service worth less to users who discover a truely decentralized, ad free, censorship resistant alternative, that yeah, they can also post to the stragglers on threads from if they want, WHY THE FUCK NOT?

Honestly thinking of setting up multiple federated mastodon instances just to keep trolling threads and see what i can get away with… wish pleroma had better support for it, I love this interface but i guess they hard coded a block on threads or something because it absolutely refuses to let me directly tag threads users.

If anyone’s blocking or defederating me because I said I want @zuck to kill himself… would “UN_ALIVING” be a better term for you…?

Do you like how censorship has changed the way we talk… the way we self censor so we can still speak freely and have our posts visible.

FUCK-THAT-SHIT

I think even if no one agrees with my perspective, I’m just going to try and find ways to fuck with #meta from my own instance, until THEY defederate from ME

They probably won’t even notice, but I’d like to see what kind of things i can get away with doing to antagonize @zuck@threads.net who is federated currently.

I honestly did not really give #fedipact much thought until people started trying to claim im supporting meta by pointing out the flaws in it. Like how incredibly bad faith do you have to be to make a strawman like that for your argument to work.

I think overall i support the sentiment of it, i just think the implementation and stated reasons are very gate keepy and doesn’t really help the people they supposedly care about who they claim get treated so poorly on other platforms. It seems like victim blaming to hold it against people for not being able to leave #meta.

FUCK META, I want them to die a horrible death that results in mark zuckerberg killing himself after losing his entire fortune and his children die in destitution. Speaking of difficulty moderating, I think it’d be pretty hilarious if I Tagged @zuck@threads.net And he ended up seeing it but can’t take down my post or ban me because I run my own instance.

Huge shoutout to people like @georgetakei @georgetakei@threads.com

For being accessible on both and helping to bring more awareness to Mastodon… thats how you get people off #meta, by meeting them where they are and leading by example.

How many of you guys support blocking George Takei for being on threads I wonder…

#FediPact #CoutnerPoints

• THEIR LONG TRACK RECORD OF PURE EVIL

No one would argue meta isn’t pure evil, but that’s where people are. unfortunately not everyone is able to figure out how to join the fediverse, and many people are only on meta’s platforms because thats where the people they communicate with are.

It’s wrong to hold the negative actions of a company that is essentially holding everyone’s friends hostage (ie: they won’t have a way of contacting them outside of meta platfoms) against the people being kept hostage.

#FediPact #CounterPoints

I’m just thinking, what can we do to make #meta #threads regret even trying to federate? How can we take advantage of this situation from a hacker/activist perspective, but with the ruthlessness of a capitalist. Embrace the federation, extend it by introducing something cool that threads cant do (like ad free content, a better UI, less censorship, etc), and then by the time they realize OH SHIT we better stop federating, enough of their users might be willing to jump ship the next time they get some 30 second unskippable add thrown in their meta feed thats already full of mostly AI slop posting.

Seem like a better strategy then just ignoring them. 🤷

The main flaw i see with #fedipact logic is: if meta was really more of a threat to Fedi then Fedi is to #Meta, why wouldnt “Project92” or whatever just start a covert instance runnin mastodon on a random domain name unaffiliated with meta (at least on the surface level) and just harvest all the data they want that way?

I just don’t see that much of a harmful impact in harvesting data that is already public, i get sending a message that we dont want corpos on #fediverse, but maybe we should start considering the harm Fedi can do to meta by using the ole “embrace, extend, extinguish” route as a sort of uno reverse card and out extend the corporations for once.

Just doing this for testing purposes but It seems like #federation isn’t really a thing on #threads. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I see no way of viewing, following, or interacting with non-threads users from the threads website. I can technically follow threads users from mastodon, but they can’t follow back or even know that im following them.

I guess i really don’t know why i expected it to be more than a performative PR stunt, but it sure seems like even #meta doesnt want people interacting because, if they did then they’d know they could leave.

Kinda makes me rethink the whole #fedipact thing… like if the fedi hadn’t completely walled off from them and instead embraced the idea, we might have ended up actually costing meta users instead of just allowing them to stay a walled garden.

Tempest Rising implements the RTS mechanics of Command and Conquer beautifully. If you are looking for a new C&C game this is most definitely it!

Who pays for these ridiculous services? I bet companies like this pretty much depend on people who forget they had auto-renew on.

Tried and failed to run Doom Dark Ages on Debian, i guess drivers are too old in stable backports and the ones in testing just crashed the game.

Gave Pop!OS a try mainly because it had nvidia support out of the box, might keep it IDK.

Had an fun conversation on my ride home today with someone who was studying to get into cybersec, made me realize need to get over avoiding telling people i’m a hacker.

Its like, IFKYK, and if you don’t then it probably doesnt matter what you think i do anyway.
