gateway co-op remained unaffected by the aws outage

from october 6th

I saw in this article that waybackmachine cannot archive Instagram, and the deletion of Saleh al-Jafarawi's account by meta after being killed seems (unsurprisingly) insane […]

is anyone following any archiving projects of journalists and social media from gaza?

like of Saleh al-Jafarawi <3

was in a music rut and tired of my music, and funny that simply asking a friend for music relieved it

also cooking a recipe from a friend

ask a friend is such a beautifully simple practice for shaking things up

i made a thing with some other people and im not entirely sure how to explain it but the website tries to do that

this was a somewhat silly way of sharing the landing page for a new small collective that offers a tls-passthrough gateway server as a service, to help homeservers publish to the internet

(been working on this with a small group for a few months and just sharing it now)

if you can say “tailscale funnel and cloudflare tunnel” five times fast, without thinking of the edward snowden “ssl added and removed here!” meme, then you don’t need gateway co-op

anyone have a tui they like that closely mirrors the interface of simplenote?

would love to see a data visualization of the first time I heard each different word over my lifetime / the frequency with which that word appeared (metaphysically recorded, not via actual data)

funny how caffeine (or anything effecting mood) causes me to move around the kitchen in slightly different patterns

an obsession with superficial notions of efficiency is arguably one of the root problems in our society, but that aside there is a part of me that enjoys funny and quirky/efficient double uses of space and time (clothes drawer is base of standing desk, going running while the rice cooker is going)

wish signal added a feature where you could set a disappearing time for a particular message after sending it, feel like i would prefer that ux for most use cases

successfully renewing a tls certificate on a home server via tls-passthrough feels magic and enjoyable to me each time, even though its now worked reliably tens of times in a row over months

started using standing desk frequently on one leg in tree pose (not as an exercise, just feels nice)

phoneless meetings are a great and accessible security practice as well as a nice way to hang out anyway

this morning dreaming of a brutalist coffee shop to work at, big slabs of concrete to work at, nothing is cute, there is no music

annoyed that atproto depends on dns, and dns is such a clear vector of censorship that seems likely to continue to be used more frequently

altho i guess browsers etc with alternative dns resolvers, or even dns-over-tor, is a pretty straightforward workaround, but i think not currently mainstream

working at my coworking space (the libary), taking calls in the call room (outside on the sidewalk)

there are so many modalities of medicine that it seems like one could spend a lifetime trying different things to treat a mysterious condition, which is both encouraging, discouraging, poignant and funny

a couple months ago, I wrote a guide on "How To Make Firefox More Efficient On An Old Computer Using AutoTabDiscard" and added it to the permacomputing wiki

the guide is here: http://permacomputing.net/Guides/autotabdiscard/

yesterday knee gave out unexpectedly while on a train with bike and camping equipment, and could no longer walk. without generalizing, in this case trying to figure out to ask for help to get off the train and get home had an interesting puzzle-like quality

while it is annoying when the servers are not working, when they are working smoothly at some point, it is gratifying

(one explanation of the problem of theodicy)

after some logistical difficulties last week, this morning I'm on a train, with my bicycle, connected to the internet, at 9:36 am, on the way to visit a friend, and for a moment logistics are going surprisingly well

the feature i really want here is:

- you can backup apps to some type of encrypted format at rest
- you can restore apps from the backup repositories to different target machines

* the backups are stored in a very idempotent and self-contained way, so they can be deployed to different machines […]

when people say llm usually its a typo and they mean lm (aka lichen-markdown)

when people say gemini, they usually mean the protocol, not the other thing

mostly i imagine being a queen/king would be a position i would turn down on ethical grounds, but i would sort of like if there was a live band that followed me around on some days playing appopriate music based on transitions and what was happening and as an alarm clock
