And… it’s got PCVR support and I will finally realize a dream I had when I was a young teenager. I will go to the islands in VR!

I guess there’s one upside to my deteriorating memory function. Like seriously, I appreciate being able to experience the things I love, again, for the “first” time. Hopefully the old memory bank doesn’t get any worse.

This week has felt 12 days longer than 7 and it hasn’t even been 7 yet.

I of course will customize and upgrade it myself however.

Is there something already that runs yt-dlp on a server and outputs an rss feed / podcast of the results?

Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8) for more information).

Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.

Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).

On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications server flag is set to true, unveil() is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary and pledge() doesn't set the exec promise.

I really miss the frequency of the rain storms where I grew up.

Does it work?

The answer is: 1 (doesn’t count though because he’s a threads tech engineer).

Working on a page for my #fediverse SVG icons. Anyone want to help make this page better? My CSS and HTML abilities are lacking...

The page is live at https://fediverse.wake.st

I have a @Codeberg repo here up here https://codeberg.org/FediverseX/pages

An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads

I’ve been wondering what I’m going to do in the not-too-distant future when my photo library is so large I have no choice but to pay for its storage somewhere.

Incoming posts can now be filtered out by content using regular expressions on a server level (these regexes are written in the filter_reject.txt file at the server base directory; see snac(5) and snac(8)).

Improved page position after hitting the Hide or MUTE buttons (for most cases).

Use a shorter maximum conversation thread level (also, this maximum value is now configurable at compilation level with the MAX_CONVERSATION_LEVELS define).

Fixed a bug where editing a post made the attached media or video to be lost.

The way of refreshing remote actor data has been improved.

Posting from the command-line now allows attachments.

Added defines for time to enable MacOS builds (contributed by andypiper).

15 years ago: iPhone got Cut, Copy, & Paste.

Here's a comparison of the 6-foot model (#StarTrekTNG's "Peak Performance"⬆️, "The Vengeance Factor"⬇️) and the 4-foot model ("Reunion") of the USS Enterprise-D, seen from similar angles. The 6-foot model shots re-use the same footage.

I quite miss the satisfying “kla-chunk!” sound they made.

I actually haven’t seen this two-parter in decades and I’m super excited to watch it with new eyes!

Speaking of ActivityPub, anyone have some concise and simple breakdown documentation links handy? There’s kind of an overwhelming amount or information out there.

I’ve once again started the process of installing and setting up Nextcloud on one of my servers. It occurs to me that my Nextcloud instances always die a slow death. Something about that piece of software, I think, sort of just falls apart over time. This time I’m attempting to future proof it a little bit more than the previous times, but honestly I fully expect it to go about the same as usual. Then again, historically I have installed all kinds of plugins (or apps) and was running it on fairly low powered hardware. Setting it up on some decently powerful hardware on this go around though. I’ll also try to be more conservative with the app installs as well.

I might actually set up two separate instances and federate them together. Perhaps if I maintain multiple servers they’ll survive a bit longer? Or I’ll just be creating twice the amount of tinkering and maintenance for myself.
